rkt.india Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Imo once KXIP stArted experimenting once they secured their spot...they screwed up. Sandeep was a casualty of that. KKR didn't do any experiment (expect checking out cummins and vinay). Heck even CSK paid the price for too much. Wonder what should teams do next season. Make sure whole squad gets game or stick to the team that will win the cup Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk Sandeep was casualty of no swing. He is good till he is getting swing. Whenever, there was no swing, he got hit which was the reason he got dropped in first place, not because they experimented.
velu Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Am I the only one who thinks Bailey gets too much flak? It is not easy keeping a team of big hitters together and Bailey has done great' date=' mixing Indian local talent with internationals. He intentionally kept himself away from the limelight and those who think he is a dead-weight, he didn't get enough opportunity. Today, it was a brave decision to come ahead, although it didn't work[/quote'] agree with you .. but the same rule wont apply to Dhoni :agree:
Lord Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 people still defending Bailey?this guy has been pure crap. we need an Indian who can be captaincy material next season.Can't have a foreigner hogging the spot,especially crap like Bailey.

rkt.india Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 captain?has he done it in FC? He has been captain of Bengal.
Lord Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 He has been captain of Bengal. then he should be automatic choice.guaranteed spot too being the keeper. doubt they'll do it though
Lord Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Bailey's BBL team has also qualified for CL,hopefully he plays for them
PAA-G Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Bailey's BBL team has also qualified for CL' date='hopefully he plays for them [/quote'] lolz no way he is your matchwinner
JourneyMan Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 He wasn't that bad and the team doesn't need dramatic changes. The decision to change a winning formula was unusual. Maybe he thought bringing Balaji against his former team-mates was a smart move, but you don't remove in-form match-winners from your side. That decision cost him. Johnson is a test bowler, his selection of deliveries in T20 cricket baffles me at times. To be honest, if he stuck with the yorker on that last delivery, that alone could have changed the result. Anyway, I wouldn't remove him because whoever you replace him with will also get hit around the ground, but Bailey needs to be more proactive in the death overs and instruct his bowlers (whether Johnson will actually accept being directed by someone who doesn't even bowl is another question) Awana and Balaji both needed direction when they bowled. They were bowling full deliveries when they should have been bowling yorkers. The team doesn't need huge changes. Sandeep needs to start, apart from that the line up is looking very good, especially with Vohra and Saha coming good towards the end of the season. Punjab were scoring massive totals even without Maxwell's contribution. With a consistent bowling line-up and strategy, they are strong contenders for the next IPL.
undisputed chap Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 They need just a good seamer who can get them early wickets. Bangar & co should keep an eye on BBL & CPL. There's no need for drastic changes. Maybe have a backup for maxy (hales) & sehwag for next year.
vvvslaxman Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 If you want to build a team, retain domestic players as much as possible with few foreigners.
Magneto Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 He has been captain of Bengal. Saha doesn't enjoy captaincy and avoids it. That's the reason Laxmi Shukla captains Bengal currently, though Saha has won a Duleep Trophy as captain.
Magneto Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 then he should be automatic choice.guaranteed spot too being the keeper. doubt they'll do it though Viru is the only guy who can captain Punjab, if you want an Indian captain.
Lord Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Viru is the only guy who can captain Punjab' date=' if you want an Indian captain.[/quote'] Saha can do it:hmmm:
Lord Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Read Post No. 35 :poink: Saha will accept IPL captaincy :agree: FC is different :beee:
Magneto Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Saha will accept IPL captaincy :agree: FC is different :beee: Pointless exercise. Leaders are born, one has to enjoy captaincy. Saha is too low-profile and unassuming to captain an IPL side. He is a good team player, and that's the best way he can add value.
