1983-2011 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Another Ganguly in the making or Punter will be able to adapt better? Atleast half of the games would be in Mumbai so if he opens, he'll get to face pace compared to the slowish tracks of Kolkata. One thing is certain though. Aussies are treated royally in the IPL i.e sheer number of Aussie players, Aussie Captains, Aussie coaches and supporting staff. aussie coaches are colluding with domestic and fringe australian players to push their names in the auction list, the owners dont know sh1t so they go along with what the coach says and keep bidding
kubrickian Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 If PWI shifts city' date= I am not supporting them anymore. Let them rename themselves 'Kanpur Kachras'. :beee: I'll support either CSK or Pwnjab Kitties this season. :two_thumbs_up: PWI may actually end up winning IPL in that case. :P
carnish Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Sachin is good as a player itself. He knows his limitations and whats best for him and hence I wouldnot be surprised if it was his own decision or suggestion.
Vilander Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Ponting and Sachin should be fun to watch, hope they click atleast once together... :nervous:
jairamesh Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Bambis are a weird set-up, so much money but make some mind boggling decisions.
Vilander Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 when available fully Ponting is a good prospect for any team, he will def adjust to the format..just like Sachin,Haydos and Gilly did.

Dude we are talking Ponting, he was a demon hooker in his prime. _F0WqN7JZaA
RedFever Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Ponting is a proven failure in IPL and BBL.. with Sachin and Ponting in team, will be hard for them to reach 140 +
King Khan Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Another IPL-Ganguly in making here, Ponting will clash with Bhajji once again.
Vivek.S.123 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 This is going to be the likely XI for the first few games: 1. Ricky Ponting (C) 2. Sachin Tendulkar 3. Rohit Sharma 4. Dinesh Karthik (WK) 5. Glenn Maxwell 6. Ambati Rayudu 7. Kieron Pollard 8. Harbhajan Singh 9. Lasith Malinga 10. Munaf Patel 11. Pragyan Ojha Pretty decent top 7 :two_thumbs_up:
Desi Cartman Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Punter to lead Bhajji .. that'll be fun to watch :yay:
Magneto Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 PWI may actually end up winning IPL in that case. :P And what will happen to CSK? :winky:

Crookbond Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Wasim Akram steps down as KKR bowling coach http://www.wisdenindia.com/cricket-news/wasim-akram-steps-down-kkr-bowling-coach/52327 Wasim Akram, the former Pakistan captain, has stepped down from his role as the bowling coach of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to spend more time with his family ahead of the sixth season of the Indian Premier League. Akram has been part of the support staff with KKR for the past three seasons, and played an important role in the franchiseÃÔ title triumph in IPL 2012. Trevor Penney, the current Indian fielding coach, will take up the same role with KKR, joining the support staff under Trevor Bayliss, the head coach. The other support staff, consisting of Vijay Dahiya, the former India wicketkeeper who is the assistant coach, Andrew Leipus, the physiotherapist, and Adrian Le Roux, the strength trainer, remain in place alongside Bayliss. In a statement on the franchiseÃÔ website, Venky Mysore, the chief executive, said Akram would be ÅÃadly missed while holding out hope that the left-arm seamer could rejoin KKR later. Mysore also expressed his delight at PenneyÃÔ appointment. Ÿasim Akram will be badly missed, said Mysore. Å©e is a legend and a great motivator to have around the team. However, we fully appreciate the reasons why he will be unavailable. We hope this break will give him the much needed time to be with his family. We hope to work with him in the future. Ÿe are also delighted that Trevor Penney will join the excellent support staff of KKR comprising of head coach Trevor Bayliss, assistant coach Vijay Dahiya, Physio Andrew Leipus, strength trainer Adrian Le Roux and analyst AR Srikkanth. Trevor Penney is a fine professional and will no doubt add to the depth of the team. KKR will play in the opening match of IPL 2013, taking on Delhi Daredevils on April 3, 2013 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, their home ground.
