sandeep Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Getting maximum value out of this IPL stint. He's getting to bat up the order to improve his limited slogging skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 He has been one of the best performers for them in both the games so far. Seems like team is also getting pretty decent value for money spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Johan Botha turned into Ian Botham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson87 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I underestimated the guy and thought was the worst buy for the Royals and the entire IPL, proved me wrong. An asset for the :rr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabira Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 He was decent bat I think, so he is just proving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serani Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Well hopefully his "bowling" gets banned soon and he can focus on his batting more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rana Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 He will still be a flop at international level im afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianlev Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 He will still be a flop at international level im afraid. Why? he's batting against international level players He's a 20/20 specialist We never thought of moving him up the order...maybe we should look into that...

Just something I notice, you sometimes can't translate IPL performance to International and vice versa. Case in point : Zaheer Khan was the highest wicket taker in the WC and always picked up crucial wickets in nearly all matches. But so far in IPL he's being hit left and right. Its for this reason I think bowlers like Dinda, Irfan, etc should be judged from domestic test and odi matches not IPL, it skews information sometimes. That said, Botha is a hidden gem it seems. He's played brilliantly, anchored and attacked in both the innings so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbestfriend Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I am wondering who they will drop after Watto returns. Botha has been doing well so far, Rosco is needed for big hitting, warnie is captain and Tait is impact player. I guess Tait has to make way for Watto but bowling becomes weak.
