Gayle/McCullum

Paddle Sweep Wrong ‘un # 7

Here is the seventh question in the ongoing series sponsored by Nokia and Kolkata Knight Riders. Do check out an awesome competition here. Its ridiculously easy to win KKR Goodies and match tickets.

First of all, I would like to thank all of you for participating so enthusiastically. It has been an honor to get your opinion.

Coming to the question for today, Kolkata have had a very topsy-turvy season, with Dada’s performances being the key. He has been scoring quite consistently. Whereas, Gayle has had just the one good outing with the bat.

Brendon McCullum, a hitter of high pedigree is now back in the side. But we also know that Gayle can change the game for us any day.

The question is – “Should the need for playing Shane Bond arise, which one of the Four – Gayle/McCullum/Matthews/Mendis should be left out?

Let SRK and Dada know, you are the coach now.

The comments section is waiting for your replies. Here is something to keep in mind though. This discussion is open only to those of you who have registered at the KKR contest site here. Just mention your first name used in the registration before answering the question. To register, click on this paragraph. Its free, easy and takes less than 30 seconds. You can do that.

dada & gayle should open the innings. foreign players should be gayle, Mculum, mathews & bond. no need to take ishant, agarkar & kartik.

well…i think its high time we leave mendis…he hasn’t proved himself yet…nd has been quite uneconomical too….gayle nd mcullum should open..dada should come one down…while mathews should be promoted up the order

Dada and Gayle was the most explosive batsman in the powerplay overs. so i think they will didnt make any change in the opening format. Ait is much better to replace ishanth.

on the do or die match against mumbai indians gayle and mcullum should open and put a show of their life time it would really help us to reach the semis

shane bond is needed in the side where we can left the srilankan ajantha mendis and gayle should be trusted by the team management he may have one good outing with the bat he may single handedly win you any crucial encounter

KKR Last match again mumbai monday at kolkata,but use pehle aaj ka match hai CSK v/s PANJAB aur HYD V/s DD,
is dono match match pe depened karta hai ki KKR ke next match ki kitni importnce hai specilly first CSK v/s PANJAB,
agar CSK jeet jati hai agains panjab so kolkata is out of simis,aur agar CSK haarti hai so, thoda chance open hoga aur agar raat ki match mai delhi hydrabad ko harati hai so,kalkata keliye bahot achcha mouka mila jayenga mumbai ko harake semis mai jane ka ,
so all KKR fans for paraying, panjab beat CSK and DELHI Beat hydrabad, agar aesa hogaya so kkr apna last match agains mumbai jeetkar semis mai aajayengi
so all the best for all, best of luck KKR ,ki luck hamara sath de CSK AND HYDRABAD hare aur kkr keliye rasta asan ho CHAKDE KOLAKATA BEST OF LUCK and ALL THE BEST

TABREZ ALAM SAID,
Hi,ALL KKR fans, kolkata ka aaj last and is IPL3 ka last league match hai,agains mumbai, mumbai pehle hi 20point ke sath top pe hai kkr 12 point ke sath no 6 pe hai, kolkata ko koi krishma hi, kuch umeed laga sakta hai nahi to only formiliteis ke keliye ye aaj ka match hoga,hope karte jeet ke sath kolakata end karen apne is ipl3 ka safar, ab kehne keliye kuch bachcha nahi so hope last wahi best 11 ko khilana chahiye,
Agar aap ye comment ko padte hai so apne dekha hoga maine suru se hi is baat ko baar baar kaha ki kisi left hander medium pacer ko khilao,jaydev or eklake for varitoin of bowling attck jis ka asar last match mai dhikha jaydev ne 3important wicket liya,aur shukla ko khilao coz he bowl, feild well last match usne bhi ek achcha catch kiya bowl very well so got watson wicket, and use new faces jab koi achcha perform nahi kar raha hai to,lede ke wahi galtiyon ko repeat kiya jo last 2 years mai hua ki dada ko hata de, so puri KKR puri tarah se fail hui har feild mai,ab to hum baher hi hogaye ,
so all the best for todays match, and shayad koi krishma hojayen,
and BEST OF LUCK FOR NEXT YEAR IPL 4
