G_B_ Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 they may as well try out Ben Cutting in place of Faulkner....
someone Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 For Playoffs , they shouldn't make such big changes in their line-up. And if Faulkner doesn't play, suddenly, this long batting line-up will look very small. It's a dilemma but I think there are more benefits to play Faulkner. The thing is all about when to bowl Faulkner. He is disastrous in the death over. (7-15), that's the most optimal time to bowl him.

rkt.india Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Very poor to play a debutant pacer in a virtual knockout game. Sean has some good things about him but a bit too to risky to play him in such a pressure game.
Sir john Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 no need to change team. drop saran bring tambe
PBN Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 RR struggled a bit after the initial 5 wins but in the end but in the end qualified for the playoffs. Trying a bit too many things at times me thins congrats :two_thumbs_up:
someone Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 So who would fellow RR prefer to play? MI or SRH? Given RCB wins today's match. I would go with SRH, we very often have collapsed terribly against MI in the past.
sourab10forever Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Santity is what RR spreads....u don't feel that with any other IPL team.no haters at all for this team.Even the opposition feel sad after winning against them.:hatsoff: Is the 2nd fav team of many...

brendan07 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 They would prefer SRH. Post a big score and then easily defend it.SRH shall not chase even 160 in a pressure game. This. However we should beat Mumbai if we play well.
G_B_ Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 http://stats.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2015/engine/records/averages/batting_bowling_by_team.html?id=9657;team=4345;type=tournament these stats tell a story. None of their bowlers have been able to average in the teens. Faulkners numbers with the ball are terrible. After a good start Tambe has been poor with the ball. You compare that to the Susu kings and Ashwin Nehra Pandey and Bravo all have very good figures. RR have multiple bowling options but they lack 2-3 good bowlers. Dhawal is a decent bowler but i doubt he can change the course of the game. He reminds me a bit of a Munaf Patel in the 2011 WC win. A bowler who can do a job. Thats it. This unit needs a Steyn or a Bolt and a decent spinner.
someone Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Absolutely, which is why I would say they had a very bad IPL transfer window this Feb. Signed many players but addressed none of the shortcomings. That is surprising for a team like RR which makes their plans very detailed. They don't have a good opener fast bowler other than Morris. And have only one capable spinner for the crucial middle overs.

You will laugh but Steve Smith has underbowled himself this tournament, he is actually a good T20 bowler where you can protect his 'pie ball an over'
