bulbul Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Last season everyone in RCB was under the umbrella of Gayle , so it was kind of hard for him to perform then... I think it he is a better player than what his record reflected last year.... I feel confident that he will come around to at least par this season and will go up from then on Gayle didnt played first few matches
Crookbond Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 RCB Strengths = Cheerleaders + After Parties. Can u imagine how motivated the players at RCB ought to be? The Mallya's throw some of the best parties coupled with Bangalore's yippee crowd? Perfect Motivation. DC Weakness = Gayatri Reddy not sitting in the dug-out KKK Weakness = Their Cheerleaders. Who wld'nt get depressed, more so when u look at the cheerleaders some of the other squads have got? Have you seen the Pune Warriors cheer leaders? Saree clad laavni :woot:
The Dark Horse Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Legend is the greatest asset of RCB:agree:
someone Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 So I guess I was not much wrong about KXIP. Individual heroics is the only thing that can work for them. Thankfully for them Mascarenhas did that.
BeautifulGame Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 my opinions and questions so far Chennai Super Kings - They seem to have lost a bit of steam after giving Deccan a thrashing - Everyone waiting for Dhoni to get into form plus what is going on with his hair? - M. Vijay seems to be the biggest embarrassment for the team, especially when Mukund is on the bench - Is Albe Morkel really as good as CSK make him out to be? - Jadeja is overrated, he is going to be a bust for the rest of the tournament(my opinion not fact) - Still doubting that?
Mariyam Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Kings xi Punjab Biggest strength: moths/parwane For the home games they have some 643276327946649738 moths flying all over the ground. The KxiP management has obviously have trained them to attack and harry opposition players.

The KxiP management has obviously have trained them to attack and harry opposition players. :hysterical::hysterical: Oh ****...I remember that shyte when I went to Mohali a few times. Low floodlights due to airport nearby...hence the moths close to stands Anyways, I think the only thing we got going for us is Marsh. He showed some glimpses yesterday, but needs to do much more. :hatsoff:
RedFever Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 my opinions and questions so far Deccan Chargers -Missing Ishant Sharma would have won the game against MI if he was there to bowl the last over -Partiv Patel was a good aqusition but DC is still waiting for returns of the investment -Ankit Sharma seems to be a good replacment for Ojha so far -Hyderabad has been waiting for Dan Christian to get into form since last season -Why is Dumminy on the bench, where is Tanmmay Mishra? -Is Lehman playing White so that he may make a run at the national team? Chennai Super Kings - They seem to have lost a bit of steam after giving Deccan a thrashing - Everyone waiting for Dhoni to get into form plus what is going on with his hair? - M. Vijay seems to be the biggest embarrassment for the team, especially when Mukund is on the bench - Is Albe Morkel really as good as CSK make him out to be? - Jadeja is overrated, he is going to be a bust for the rest of the tournament(my opinion not fact) Royal Challengers Bangaloure - Say what you want V. Mallya did a better job as Manger than Charu Sharma - Despite what everyone says its to early to say if S. Tiwary is worth his salary or not - ABDv is awesome, shame on DD for not retaining him - Better they play a few games without Gayle, last season they were to reliant on him Mumbai Indians - Bhaji got of too easy!!!!!! - well balanced team with so much talent that RP Singh is on the bench - How do you beat them? Rohit pulls games from the Jaws of defeat, Pollard will bully, bludgen, smash the way to a win , No team expects to score more than 20 runs in Malingas 4 overs - They do have a bit of batting jitters and a good disciplined bowling attack might have a chance against them - Levi seems to be an upgrade from Blizzard Pune Warriors India - Dada is back! even though he has yet to click with the bat he is making good on the field - Uthappa seems to have found some kind of form finally - They have seemed to have pulled a good bowling attack from no where Dinda, Rahul Sharma, Murali Kartik -M. Samules and Steve Smith seems to be good acquisitions - If Yuvi is back for the playooffs then we might have a dark horse in the finals -They have done well despite not participating in the auction this year and with all the drama surrounding their sponsers Rajisthan Royals - Dravid seems to have taken up Warne's job well, maybe retirement from international cricket helped him - Have to say wow, for a team with $2 mil cut from auction money last year they have done really well -Kevon Copper has to be the best acquisition this season so far, especially since he was -Where has Owais Shah been all these years? -Rahane might be eying Raina's position or even as a back up opener for India - horrible decision last game to play Hogg and Botha when they had Hodge and Tait on the bench Kings XI Punjab - Everyone waiting to see Paul Valthay and Praveen Kumar of last year - It hate to say this but it might be time for Gilly to retire - The only stand out player to me has been Harmeet Singh - I honestly think this is the only team that DC can beat !! - Boy is Gilly missing Ryan Harris -Where is the Shaun Marsh of 2008 season? Delhi Daredevils - Irfan surprised everyone in the first game can he keep it up? - They sure are missing Amit Mishra, they are in need of a quality sippner badly - better to play Ven Der Merwe than Bracewell, adds more balance to the team - N Ojha should be the backup wicket keeper ( Awesome catch to take out Jaddu) - KP and Jaya are back and this might be the year for the Devils! Kolkata Knight Riders - I would say they won the match against RCB because they got the team right Balaji, Ryan and Sakhib were back in the team now I think they are on the right bearings -Always nice to see Gambhir getting runs, KKR fans wish they see some from Pathan as well -Much better all round team will have to see more of them to make get a better idea because the first 2 games they got the team combination completely wrong! - pretty good analysys if all teams
someone Posted April 15, 2012 Author Posted April 15, 2012 RCB seriously has 2 major problems. 1. No. 5th batting spot 2. No. 6th batting spot The 5th bowling option does not seem a major concern as Gayle certainly is a reliable option overall. But those 2 spots, last year+this year, RCB just have no idea on that.
someone Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 I guess after nearly 75% done. We all do have some better ideas. Clearly, MI + RCB are the worst teams They have constantly been depended on 1-2 players who really win them the match. Surely it is a matter of time before they run out of their luck?
Sidhoni Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 CSK Strength - Batting firepower. Most of them are in form and thats the reason they got 174 in Mumbai. Weakness- Lack of wicket taking bowlers. Hope that Dougie does well today.
someone Posted May 16, 2012 Author Posted May 16, 2012 MI Strength Have a lot of luck and undoubtfully been the catalyst behind their wins.
