Gayle/McCullum

by Ankit on April 8, 2010

in IPL

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.

I think we should definitely play either Bond or Mendis depending on the playing conditions,but one of these bowlers must play,thats for certain.
Mccullum should sit out.We should definitely go for Gayle bcoz his performance is far better than Mccullum.And he is a good part timer.Mccullum has done nothing in these 3yrs other than his one night show of 158*,3yrs ago on the day when the IPL began.He is nothing but a liability in the field.So,he is the one who should be axed

i think that gayle and macculam are the backbone of kkr and because of their presence the batting lineup is strong and obviously mendis is a trump card for kkr

last match agains CSK bahot kharab khel raha kkr ki taraf se Do and die tha match tha,aur ek baar fir puri tarah se fail rahe.top orders ne puri tarah se mayoos kiya c.gyle ne very poor think se out hua ,3over tha first pe six kiya so aage nikal kar marne ki koi zaroorat nahi thi apni jagah pe khade rehkar khelsakta tha but McCULLUM ne bhi apna wahi raag repeat kiya naam bade darshan chhote ,bina kisi runs ke 0 pe out hua.hussey bhi same result, mathews ne achcha khelkar kuch had tak achcha kiya 139 tak score pahchaya,
after in bowling gyle se opning heyden ko out karna thoda sa khushi kkr ki chehre pe aayi aur thodi umeed bhi but raina ne apni toofani ining sewo sab bhi asani se khatam kardiya aur kkr ko backfoot pe lake khada kardiya ab to kkr keliye kismat ko chhodkar semis jane ki sarein raste band ho gaye
ganguly and whatmore ne mayoos kiya win the toss so always choos bat firts its not good sign any side,its mean we are show our chasing side very weak, and no hope our batsman, Wasim ko consult bowlng banana bhi bahot badi mistake sabit hui, jab coach and assistant coach hai, fir ek extra consulting so very poor effect on bowling side,
ab kkr ke 2 match hai agains rajisthan and mumbai indians,hope and want wins both matchs,and got 14points,
very upset all over kkr fans, ALL THE BEST

i agree with u heena ji

gayle is must for kkr he is a good hitter of the ball and also a part time spinner,
gayle and ganguly should open the inning against RAJISTHAN ROYAL coz they will start inning with a spinner so ganguly is a good player of spin bowling. then brendon must be there with 3 position, then
m tiwary
david hussy/shane bond
angelo mathews
g vignesh/ shukla

they r still have semi final birth, coz CSK,DD,RR,RCB have only a game whr as DC, KKR HAVE 2 games to go, if KKR WINS BOTH THE GAMES , and dc wins against csk , and punjab wins agains dd then KKR HAVE A PLACE IN SEMIS,……..

mc cullum should keep the wickets and saha should be dropped and an all rounder should be picked in place of saha. play the mendis or shane bond according to the pitch conditions.

Hi Team Riders,
Are bhai semi final me jana hai ya nahi.. open mind khelo or jeeto,,
McCullum or Gayle ko opening par bhejo.. tiwary ko first down, phir bhejo dada ko, or phir aaye hussy..

phir dekho kaise nahi bante 200+ run.. thoda tight shot khelo,, maro jaan laga kar..

or bowling jara body ka nishana lekar karao.. kuch ko karo yaar, magar jeeto…..

karthik April 15, 2010 at 9:49 pm

ganguly just remove mcculum and replace hodge in his place david hussey is a waste so get in shah and see the batting performance thats what u need i think the main waste i kkr is dav watmore i think he hasnt given any ideas to get the team up do the way i told kkr is sure gonna win the next 2 matches

Reply

vishnu April 15, 2010 at 10:18 pm

I have still faith in mccullum and hussey play them in the coming matches also , but dada and mccullum should open , if wkt goes early hussey should be in 1 down position keep gayle and tiwary to fire in the death overs. KKR has only a wild chance to get into the semis even if they win the remaining two games since their RR is quiet low . they should get atleast 200 in the next two matches and get put the opposition cheaply.

Ravichandran April 15, 2010 at 10:50 pm

The only one thing 2 win last 2 matches need 2 choose fielding if us win the toss ………… then next thing is who r tne foriegn players is must ……………… i think Gayle, macculum ,mendis and bond………come on kkr………… we need to win

Reply

ameen April 16, 2010 at 12:27 am

i think if kkr wins the toss they should bat first coz in the night conditions ball travells slowly and they can’t score enough runs,

gayle , david hussey , mathews , bond are must.

Shindpal Virk April 15, 2010 at 11:08 pm

hi DADA and SRK,
we are not here to discuss what we did in last games. now we have to think what should we do to secure our place in semi final. first of all we should send macullum and gayle to open the innings because they only can play on that slot so why are we destroying them . i am not able to understand what the hell is our coaching staff doing. they are not able to understand the nature of wicket. read the nature of the pitch and then decide about the team
indian pitchs are slow in nature so every team looking for good spinning options so we also think about that option and now we have to win games with healthy runrate so we have only one option go there and score runs and suffle our batting order and we should start with gayle macullum and ganguly should bat in middle order

Reply

Tarun Kumar April 15, 2010 at 11:32 pm

As per all matches of our team, i think we can give chance to bond instead of mendis. Second our batsman need to avoid dot balls which is the main causes for targets under 200. We loss our matches when we not choose and set players position. So take Murli kartik in and Shane Bond instead of Mendis. Wish You all the best

Hi,
Telling again our team has a balanced part but the main part is we are either failing to bat or either bowl or either both. We should go for : Sourav Ganguly
Bredon Macullum
Chris gayle
Manoj Tiwary
Ganpathy Vignesh
David Hussey
Wridhiman saha
Ajit Agarkar
Murli Kathik
Shane Bond
I.Abdulla.

Please look into it dear.

We Can Still Make in Semis :
Only Pray That KXIP Should Defeat CSK

Apart From That KKR Needs To Win Both Their Matches With High Run Rate !

Now Here is My Tip :
If You Win The Toss Select To Field First !
Forget Everything About Pitch !

Team and Batting Order :
Bredon Mcullum {WK}
Chris gayle
Sourav Ganguly
Manoj Tiwary
David Hussey
C.Pujara
L.Shukla
Ajit Agarkar
Murli Kathik
Shane Bond
I.Abdulla

Now Gayle Mcculum and Dada Can Go For Big Hits ….
Specially Make Use of First 6 overs ……
Win Against Rajasthan With Big Positive NRR
Good Luck !!

I was / am / will always be proud to be a KKR Fan !!
Love You DADA !!

This is the good team at this moment, dada tried every combination, i don’t think extra wicket keeper is required in the team. we need more all round cricketer in the team, which balance the side. experience bowler like Ajit & Ishant giving so much run in vital time of match, so we must try with our new players. KKR are playing so much pressurized cricket in every match.Be relax Dada…we need Ur attacking captaincy… Best of luck Dada & whole Team…………….

my wish is tat…….
bring in MANOJ TIWARY to t top order and let him be at no.4…….
my comment about dada is tat..;..he is able to get over the opponents in the initial overs(first 3 overs) but every opponent is able to control him after the initial burst ……………. so dada it wil be better if u take the most strike in first 24 balls……. then it wil be best if u give strike to gayle to swing and free his hands…..because after 4 overs, u score atleast 40 on t board and 30 on your name…. evvery opponent will concentrate on controlling u… at that time if u avoid facing much deliveries it will give u chance to play a big innings also……. gayle cannot be controlled if he remain at crease after 4 overs…hitting every ball out of the park……… so ganguly can play a big innings and others can also get the score rocking as well….. so i expect a century from him to get the bengal tigers rock into semis…….

about bowling, it wll be better to give instructions to ishant to bowl strictly in his best line……. his best line is tat ball should bounce back into the batsmen not to give them width to play shots,,,,,,, this will surely frustrate t batsmam and may do mistakes and then bowlers can easily cash them as wickets……

murali karthik dshould bowl only between 6-15 overs.. it is a better advice just test it once please maintain strict line and lenth till first 15 overs….. and there after please hit the block hole to avoid the batsmen to hit…. block hole is the point because only dhoni and yusuf pathan can hit the block hole dreliveries from indian team………no other batsman can play it so it is a kind of weak point for us……

sai kumar April 17, 2010 at 2:05 pm

its useless to have 2 wiket keepers in the playing xi so get a batsman instead of saha and give wk to mccullum…….

Its really a ridiculous performance by the bowlers in every game.charl langeveldt should be in the playing XI…………because the kkr bowling is not so strong.he is a better choice ahead of shane bond and mccullum should open instead of dada…
