Switchblade Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/news/Sehwag-is-the-best-option-to-captain-Kings-XI-Punjab-Ganguly/articleshow/30296095.cms Former India captain Sourav Ganguly feels that Australia's T20 captain George Bailey won't fit into the first XI of Kings XI Punjab while recommending Virender Sehwag as the captain of the team. "Sehwag is the best option to captain Kings XI Punjab and not George Bailey. You have to remember, a captain is the most important factor in a team across all formats. "Bailey will struggle to find a place in the Kings XI team given that David Miller, Shaun Marsh, Glen Maxwell and Mitchell Johnson have to play every game. You can't drop Marsh as he has been their most consistent performer over the years," Ganguly said in the Star Power while analyzing teams. While CSK didn't buy Subramaniam Badrinath, Ganguly reckons that he will be bought tomorrow when the unsold players come up for second round. "I think CSK will buy Badrinath tomorrow," Ganguly said. Ganguly feels that Corey Anderson's bowling will be helpful on Wankhede track. "For Mumbai, Corey Anderson has balanced the side. He is an unknown commodity and the Wankhede will support his bowling. Mike Hussey has been bought due to Sachin's retirement. He is the dark horse of the IPL. Mumbai's batting looks a little weak but it's the IPL so you can't say for example Ambati Rayudu became a big success for MI." Ganguly feels that had Corey Anderson been in the top pile of the auction, he would have commanded greater price. "IPL auction is all about supply and demand. If Anderson was earlier in the auction pile he would have gone for much more." On Royal Challengers Bangalore, he said: "Bangalore have a very strong batting line-up. Right from openers to No. 6, they have batsman who will ensure it will rain sixes at the Chinnaswamy. If not Gayle, then Kohli, if not Kohli, then De Villiers, if not De Villiers then Yuvraj, if not Yuvi, then Albie Morkel. "They have good bowlers in Varun Aaron, Dinda, Mitchell Starc as well to give them a balanced line up." :phehehe::phehehe::phehehe::phehehe::phehehe:
Lord Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 bullcrap Bailey makes the team more than Viru though I'm worried Bailey may prefer Maxwell over Miller :((

Lord Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Too much love for the Aussies by Zinta Aunty :girly1: Royals bought Aussies too,atleast we bought good ones:winky: if they raise foreign player limit to 5,we have perfect squad:--D
Lord Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 He said CSK will buy Badri and Dinda is good buy for RCB:cantstop:
Pagalpanti Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Let Sehwag play freely, It would be the worst idea to make him captain. Although I agree about the bit of choosing an Indian captain.
puneet28 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 No offense to Ganguly but he is always behind his favorites. Viru, Yuvi, Bhajji, Zakk, Dinda, Manoj Tiwari and Saha. I mean no harm in having favorites but you can't blindly support them. I am big fan of Yuvi and Zakk, they are my all time favorites but on current form they might not deliver to that expectation and this is reality. You need to be Practical more. Bailey over Viru anyday for captaincy. Also Viru hasen't done much with his captaincy. Also for present condition he needs to concentrate more on batting rather than leading a team.

Straight Drive Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I don't think they will play 3 middle order overseas players (Bailey,Maxwell and Miller). So imo the 4 overseas will be overseas opener (Marsh) + 2 overseas middle order batsman amongst Max,Bailey and David + 1 overseas bowler (Mitch). Bailey might be unlucky to miss out because that 100 by David in last IPL makes him a certain starter. Maxwell can also bowl which might help him get in playing 11.

Whereas the former opts for the likes of Dinda.

SLICKR392 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 yeah better to make Viru captain as hes a sure starter But you wanted Bailey to be the skipper, no? :hmmm:
Lord Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 But you wanted Bailey to be the skipper' date=' no? :hmmm:[/quote'] change of mind :--D we got so many awesome overseas players that Bailey isnt a certainty :agree: maybe Viru should take tips from him via microphone :hmmm:

Lord Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Bailey's a gun though. Brilliant finisher. Damn, that's a good squad. :(( Actually not that good.I'd like Bailey but we don't have a good offie so Maxwell might sneak in :wall:
velu Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 and tomorrow dada will say dinda is the best player to lead RCB :giggle:
adi B Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 You are not offending anyone. Ganguly's favoritism is on the level with that of Dhoni's. Whereas the former opts for the likes of Dinda. But ganguly is not in a position of power,its not harming Indian cricket unlike in dhoni's.
adi B Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Johnson should lead Punjab,Mooli should.lead Dd
