[Simon]

Liam, howcome the Australian players are unavailable at the start?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Managers, note carefully

I'll be needing team managers to post their 1st XI. Note that this is largely a formality, in case a team is not posted in time before a game is simmed.

Bangalore Royal Challengers - Venkatesh Prasad = Dan R.
Chennai Super Kings - Kepler Wessels = Simon
Delhi Daredevils - Greg Shipperd = Kev
Hyderabad - Robin Singh = JR Gray
Kolkata Knight Riders - John Buchanan = G Sriram
Mohali - Tom Moody = Trav
Rajasthan Royals - Shane Warne = Dan S.
Mumbai Indians - Sachin Tendulkar = Mat

Note that a maximum of 4 overseas players are allowed. Batting and bowling orders must be posted, using the WCC-approved format.

e.g.
1 - Bowler A, Bowler B
3 - Bowler C
4 - Bowler D
5 - Bowler E, Bowler F

etc.

 

[Agent TBY]

Kolkata really should have Pujara in their squad. You do realise they don't have 4 U-22 players?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Liam, howcome the Australian players are unavailable at the start?

Ponting made a comment about the Australian players likely to be unavailable for the IPL for the first couple of years. I've taken this to mean that they're unavailable for this one at the very least. That said, that status may change before or during the IPL season. Nathan Bracken, however, is recovering from surgery and unlikely to take part in it at any stage.

I meant to add Pujara. Will do so now.

I was under the impression that Cricket Australia had approved players to take part in the first two weeks of this years tournament before they head into camp before the West Indies tour...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That wasn't the indication of Ponting. But then Ponting made his comments immediately after the first bid, meaning that it was very early in the process.

EDIT: Availability of Aussies adjusted.

 

[Jamee999]

So I have to have no more than 4 overseas, and how many Under-22?

 

[Simon]

Chennai Super Kings
1 M Hayden (Aus)
2 L Camps (CW)
3 MS Dhoni+*
4 S Badrinath
5 S Raina
6 J Oram (NZ)
7 A Mukund
8 S Tyagi
9 S Jakati
10 J Sharma
11 M Ntini (RSA)

Bowling Orders
1 M Ntini, K Wright
2 H Davis, J Sharma, R Dunn
3 J Oram, M Muralitharan, L Camps, C Obuya
4 S Tygai, S Jakati, A Morkel, R Ashwin
5 S Badrinath
6 M Hussey

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

So I have to have no more than 4 overseas, and how many Under-22?

Not sure what the official rule is, but for ease of management, will allow any number of U-22s in an XI.

 

[Agent TBY]

Kolkata Knight Riders - First XI

CH Gayle (WI)
AP Chaulk (+) (CW)
RT Ponting (Aus)
PR Sajith
CA Pujara
SC Ganguly (*)
A Chopra
SI Abdulla
M Shah
Umar Gul (Pak)
I Sharma

Bowling Orders

1 - I Sharma, Shoaib Akhtar
2 - M Shah, A Agarkar, S Kaul
3 - Umar Gul, Mohammad Hafeez
4 - CH Gayle, SI Abdulla
5 - M Kartik, GN Nayak, EAP McNamara
6 - SC Ganguly, PR Sajith, CA Pujara

Whoever's listed 1-5 and playing HAS to bowl out their overs, unless going at over 8 RPO. So in the first XI: Sharma, Shah, Gul, Gayle and Abdulla will bowl out their allotted quota.

I hope that makes sense, because I'm not used to this WCC-style bowling order format.

Me>>>>Those bowlers in T20. FFS Jamee...

[Jamee999]

Well you're in direct competition with Vaas, as a non-Indian player...

Players not in the Pre-Season 1st XI (for my own records)
MF Maharoof SL
DR Smith WI
AB de Villiers SA
TM Dilshan SL
B Geeves Australian
DL Vettori NZ (AVAILABLE UNTIL APRIL 22)
VY Mahesh Indian
PJ Sangwan Indian
M Tehlan Indian
S Young CW
NG Scott CW (AVAILABLE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE)

Liam, Amit Mishra, Tejashwi Yadav and Yogesh Nagar are in the Cricinfo squads but not here. I can understand the other 2 as there is no records but Mishra is an international.

Probably lots of potential changes during the season. CWebbers and other Internationals could come in and Sangwan and Mishra pushing for places.

Hope the bowling has been done right.

 

[NZTailender]

Would've dropped Afridi myself. Such a hit and miss player...

 

[Agent TBY]

Delhi has a really scary bowling attack.

Kev, I think Liam's sticking to the 22-player limit, which would explain those players from the Cricinfo squad pages missing out. Yashpal Singh is missing for the Knight Riders. With his stats, he'd be a star.
