sandeep Posted April 12, 2011 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.
yoda Posted April 12, 2011 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.
Watson87 Posted April 12, 2011 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:
kabira Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 He was decent bat I think, so he is just proving it.
Serani Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Well hopefully his "bowling" gets banned soon and he can focus on his batting more.
Rana Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 He will still be a flop at international level im afraid.
julianlev Posted April 12, 2011 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...
Params7 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 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.
urbestfriend Posted April 13, 2011 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.
