King Pietersen
International Captain
Awesome. RCB have picked the right overseas players at last. Nice to see Watto batting 3 for the Royals too. Looking forward to this game, hope we get to see KP vs Warnie.
You reckon? I think I'd have White above KP in T20s. Though KP might have a better chance of taking Warne apart I guess.Awesome. RCB have picked the right overseas players at last. Nice to see Watto batting 3 for the Royals too. Looking forward to this game, hope we get to see KP vs Warnie.

Simon apologised to Ashwin for the error afterwards.
Doug's lbw of Ganguly was one of the worst in this year's IPL. Hit him outside leg by a margin.
But I think the second one was debateable. Nobody other than doug appealed.
Ojha hasnt been doing too bad as a opener...Lumb, Watson, Voges, Yusuf, Jhunjhunwala and Ojha would be my Top 6, in that order.
Apart from trying to run Lumb out pretty much every game he's been decent. Watson and Lumb would still be much better though.Ojha hasnt been doing too bad as a opener...
He's done ok, made 2 half centuries, but one of those was on one of the flattest pitches I've ever seen, even by T20 standards. I don't think having a bloke that's done decently at best, is enough when you've got one of the best International openers in the world currently, in the same team batting at 4. Watson's been in unbelievable form for Australia, opening in all forms of the game, doesn't make sense having him at 4. Watson and Lumb both have better strike-rates than Ojha, and I think would do a better job opening together. I guess Ojha could bat 3 though, having him below Jhunjhunwala was a tad harsh.Ojha hasnt been doing too bad as a opener...

It would be weaker in my opinion, lets just agree to disagree.Not really. A middle order of Voges, Pathan, Ojha and Jhunjhunwala isn't notably weaker, and with a stronger opening partnership that are more likely to get RR off to a better start, I think the line-up looks far stronger.
