*Official* Indian Premier League 2011

VC was as high as it got.

He has one ODI as captain

What i meant was on a full time position, not as a short replacement (which is what Daemon was referring to i think). After Ponting it was always going to be Clarke as captain.

 

[Daemon]

He was being talked about as a possible captain though isn't it? Anyways, Karthik's left hand touched the rope as far as I could tell, but it was a good catch nonetheless.

Ipl 2011

This time it would be the Kolkata Knight Riders who would be winning the title...great captaincy shown by gautam gambhir...and the team is greatly poised with some great players and the young guns also performing so well.....!!!!

feels like MI are 15-20 runs short

Yeah I suppose, but it was a non contest between him and Clarke.

Marsh to make this look ridiculously easy.

 

[Daemon]

Pretty hard to pull any short stuff Malinga throws at you when you're expecting a yorker every ball. Batsmen are probably thinking of playing with a straight bat and when the short one comes you've got to have really quick hands or spot it early to play a cross batted shot..

Stupid shot by Hussey, no need to panic yet.

Yet one more of the innumerable Australians who haven't justified their price tags this year.

Now everything depends on Shaun Marsh, one who has.

 

[SamSawnoff]

Shaun Marsh was relatively cheap as no-one wanted him apart from Kings 11.

David Hussey is over-rated in this format. His brother is better value.

Impossible to figure out what goes on in the mind's of these coaches. Shaun Marsh was the stand out batsman in the first edition of the IPL, then he got injured and everyone promptly forgot about him.

 

[SamSawnoff]

He is not flashy, which I think works against him. Ticks along though without fuss.

There were some ludicrous bids for some Australian players. I'm not sure what plans the franchises have with some of the choices.

He's not a crude slogger. Very pretty to watch, even in this format.

If Australia had picked Shaun Marsh in their WC squad, he could have made the difference to their misfiring middle order. Looks ridiculously comfortable batting in Indian conditions in limited overs formats.

 

[SamSawnoff]

The Australian selectors feel the same as the IPL franchises. They don't want him either. He has not played a T20 match for Australia for 2 years and he has only ever played three, spread out over about a year.

t20 such a strange beast isnt it?? If anyone told me Rohit would be useless in ODIs after watching only his IPL exploits, i'd suggest his head to be examined.

Marsh looks so composed at the crease, and is so good to watch on song.

Ganguly signs up for the Pune warriors.

Ganguly signs up for the Pune warriors.

Yup, he replaces nehra and will act as a vice captain for Pune warriors. So i guess we will be seeing Ganguly open with ryder
