Paddle Sweep Wrong’un #2

Guys, this is decision time. Kolkata play tomorrow in the first game of the DLF IPL 2010. Defending champions Deccan Chargers are their opponents.

KKR - Main Bhi CoachBefore the first ball is bowled, there are a lot of pressing questions a KKR Coach has to answer, and you are one. One of the most important of those questions is what you have to answer now.

WHICH FOREIGN PLAYERS SHOULD BE PLAYED IF A FULL STRENGTH SQUAD IS AVAILABLE

For the first game, there are a few players who would be unavailable, but we would ignore that as they will be available for most of the tournament. So here is the list from which you have to choose from.

Think wisely and choose carefully. You need 4 players. Who all are going to make the cut and why?

The list:

Charl Langeveldt, Brendon McCullum, Angelo Mathews, Chris Gayle, Owais Shah, Ajantha Mendis, Brad Hodge

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.

Next Wrong’Un would be on

Last match agains bangluru bahot si presaniyan chhod gaya kkr keliye, sourav bahot upset bhi hua aur sath hi kkr ke unlimeted fans too, its reality ki kkr ke top order ko chhodkar kisi mai jeetne ka zazba hi nahi dikh raha hai,bowler bowl kar rahe hai but bina kisi plane ke sragety ke batsman kis tarah usko shot kar raha hai usse koi matlab nahi, bus 6 ball fenkna hai so fenk rahe hai,ishant ko khilana mai ye nahi kahunga ki galat faisla tha coz pitch pe ghas thi uchal thi, so 3 fast khilana zaroori tha ye alag baat hai ishant ne itna mayoos kiya dil karta hai usko aage kisi bhi match na khilajaya uski jagah kisi aur ko select kar le,batting mai bhi bahot si misunderstanding rahi 11 over mai 100/2runs banaliye uske baad bhi kkr only after 20over 160 hi bana saki so very bad play in last 8 overs make just 57 runs so puri tarah se kkr flop rahi and youngister ne har feild mai nirash kiya,
once agains ganguly and gyle achchi suruat ki 6 over mai 60 runs McCULLUM ne suru mai thoda slow kiya but achcha khela uske aane se thoda batting line mazboot to hui but ab kkr ke optoin kam hai kkr ko last 3 matches khelna hai aur unke pas only 10points hai so next match agains chennai se jeetna hi hoga
kuch change karna zaroori hai so jaydev ,shukla,rohan ko ab try karna zaroori hai if i want diffrent result,
GANGULY
C.GYLE
McCULLUM
M.TIWARI
MATHEWS
W.SAHA/SHUKLA/AGARKAR
PUJARA/ROHAN
AGARKAR/ JAYDEV
M.KARTHIK OR ABDULLA
S.BOND
DINDA
JAYDEV ko khilaya jaye he is left hander pacer, so agar dinda ke sath jaydev se open karaye so kuch naya aur achcha ho sakta hai, and bond ko firts change pe bowl karaye with agarkar or any spinners, so kkr ke liye achcha so play kkr open bowl with dinda aur jaydev, ALL THE BEST KKR CHAKDE KOLKATA.

enough is enough mates! once again we are at bottom 2. DC had showed that they can defend even a meagre total of 151 and we can’t defend 160!! wht we r doing on the field? dropping catches? scoring runs at 5 rpo for last 10 overs!!and still we wanna be in semis? i understand why Dada was so furious after the game!!!

time 2 regroup and show some gutsy show right on the field.. time 2 take some hush decision! replace Mathews with Hussy! we need spinners to win tomorrows match besides strengthening our middle order. for both the case Hussy is a better option than Angi!
replace mendis with bond! it’s now evident that we are hopeless without the 007!
On domestic front send Manoj down in the order. He is spoiling the batting momentum. send hussy before him! if our top 4 bat able to sustain 15 overs drop him down even further to promote Pujara!
we badly need to put up 220+ score in tomorrows match to keeps our chance alive. Chennai wicket is so flat that even 220 may look absolutely achievable specially for a strong batting line up of Chennai!

Subhaashis Bhadra April 13, 2010 at 12:22 am

Proposed team line-up according to the batting order:
Dada
MacCullum
Gayle
Hussy
Pujara
Manoj
W.Saha
Karthik
Bond
Dinda
JD Unadkat/ Iqbal Abdulla

Cheers!

Pls. improve net run rate (nothing is impossible).
Special request to Ganguly, pls. you don’t go to open for improve net run rate because your strike rate is very poor.
ONLY 3 MATCHES LEFT, PLS. DON’T FORGET MY SUGGESTION.
SPINNERS ARE THE MOST SUCCESSIVE BOWLERS IN IPL-3, PLS. GO WITH SPINNERS (ABDULLA & KARTHIK).
DON’T GO WITH FOREIGN BOWLER.

DO and DIE match for both side hope ki kkr DO and chennai DIE,Last match agains bangluru was very disappointing for kkr side,chennai ek stronge team hai so kkr ko bhi utna hi stronge thought and fully confidence ke sath mai maidan utarna hoga,
Kuch badlao hona zaroori hai,MENDIS ki jagah pe BOND ko khilana chahiye,JAYDEV ko aaj khilana chahiye,aur JAYDEV and DINDA se bowl open karana chahiye,JAYDEV is left arm pacer, so nice variatoin in bowl aatack with DINDA, BOND ko first change mai use karna zyada achcha hoga,
HYDEN ke samne agar spinner use karen in open so ye achcha ho sakta hai, mostly success fully open with spinner agains bit hitters(specially foreigner)Last all matches.
Batting mai GANGULY and GYLE achchi batting kar rahe hai ,last some mathes mai achchi opnning di hai ,McCULLUM ke aane se batting line stronge hui hai so use no. 3 khilana chahiye,
BEST XI
GANGULY
C.GYLE
McCULLUM
M.TIWARI
A.MATHEWS
W.SAHA
PUJARA/SHUKLA/ROHAN
AGARKAR /JAYDEV UNADKAT
M.KARTHIK /ABDULLAH

&
Ganguly should open with Bredon McCullum
then Brad Hodge is in Middle
bcoz Brad Hodge is the builder of the innings
as all of us saw in previous edition of ipl how Hodge played consistantly.
But i think my suggestion is already waste as kkr have almost no chances to go in semifinal of ipl3 edition
