youngindia Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I saw the full squad now and first time in three years of ipl, i would have to say take my hats off to a franchise. they have 1. the two exceptional strikers of the ball -yuvraj and uthappa. 2. highly talented foreign youngsters- ferguson ,mitchell marsh and ryder. 3. promising indian youngsters -harpreet singh and manish pandey 4.genuine pace -taylor 5. indian pace bowlers- nehra and kamran khan 5. allrounder- angelo 6. spinners- kartik and mccullum(this may be the weakest of the lot) maybe they can do with a better foreign pace bowler and better spinner. a few has beens like mohnish mishra,mithun minhas, dheeraj spoil the squad somewhat they have most bases covered compared to others. this is perhaps the best squad creation i have seen. the inexperience can still result in udner achievement.i feel they have just enuf experience to bank on. but if this squad stays together for a few years, they can do real damage the more experienced franchises like dd,kings 11 and dc are still clueless.
Sid Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Nehra and Mathooz injured.And bowling is looking very ordinary .
youngindia Posted April 9, 2011 Author Posted April 9, 2011 is taylor available upfront? their bowling depth is thin. if the main players play, they are looking alright(compared to the weaker attacks of other franchsies). basically this is a great base to start with! the bowlers are the ones that need reinforcements in depth in coming seasons.
VRV Singh Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 They have some very good middle order options Yuvi, Ryder, Uthappa, Ferguson, Mitchell Marsh... Wonder which internationals they will mostly go for..?
Ranjha Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Nehra and Mathooz injured.And bowling is looking very ordinary . only for the first 2 games bowling looks good.
jonas10 Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Uthappa i always felt that guy was hugely overrated...A disaster in the 07 world cup.
rkt.india Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Mohnish Mishra is avery good T2- batsman...aggressor
rkt.india Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Uthappa i always felt that guy was hugely overrated...A disaster in the 07 world cup. he played some good innings in T20 WC though
BeautifulGame Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Their midle order and spin bowling looks very good. But cant say the same about openers or death bowling. Unless Taylor if fit and firing they are depending too much on a fragile nehra.
achilles Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Jesse will most definitely come in for Matthews. So we can expect a super start :pw: Also, you can add one more point - 7. This team has 9 All Rounders.
hari504504 Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 the Punies... they'll get thrashed with no decent spin bowlers apart from the two
