*Official* Indian Premier League 2010

[S Chanderpaul]

Kallis gone after his usual blockfest.

Absolutely ridiculous to open with Pandey - simply wasted overs

Get the best players in early and if the token domestics have to bat 9/10/11 to make up the numbers then so be it

 

[Jono]

Token domestics? Lol.

Anyway get Kohli, Taylor and Uthappa in. They'll win you a match!

 

[King Pietersen]

Taylor in now please. KP and Taylor stand the best chance of winning RCB the game.

 

[Jono]

Pretty sure you mean Kohli but anyway

What would you call Pandey?

You've got a lineup with Kallis, Dravid, KP, Kohli, Taylor, Uthappa and they open with the worst specialist batsman in the team so he can do no more than take overs off faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar better players

 

[King Pietersen]

Poor shot from the real KP. Good catch though, RCB really need Taylor to get going now. JP Duminy into the attack for Taylor please

I was just laughing at the term. Never heard it before.

Yeah, right. Should have followed that logic in the last season's semi final where he hit a 100 opening the innings. He scores better during the field restrictions. He could have been given the anchor role by the management. Can't comment on team strategy when you are an outsider. You might think its a bad move, but it still is only your opinion.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Friggin knew that KP and Uthappa would get out just as I finally sat down with my lunch.

I so hate Kallis.

 

[GGG]

Really gotta try and get as close as they can now, don't want to get really hammered as run rate is going to come into it.

10 an over and team management say "you, play the sheet anchor"

 

[BoyBrumby]

Dilhara looks like he uses the same conditioning coach as Cosgrove. Hasn't always been so comfortably padded, has he?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Top nut from Zak there; way too good for Steyn anyway.

 

[Jono]

Kohli get yourself an n.o

 

[Jono]

Why bat him at 7?

 

[GGG]

Taylor will no doubt get dropped, but in all games he got out in they needed around 15 runs per over when he came to the crease.

 

[Xuhaib]

Kohli is so gun to watch.

agree with Social Pandey will always struggle against an international level attack so no use of getting him to open when you have far better resources.

 

[King Pietersen]

Is Shane Warne having a laugh? Lumb dropped and replaced by Aaron Finch. So Watson's opening at last, but is opening with the wrong bloke. Frustrating as hell.
