Indian Premier League 2014

Difficult to decide who the worst Indian captain of this IPL is, Rohit, Dhawan or Kohli. Can't get basic stuff right.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dhawan, easily.

Jesus, I didn't realise Praveen is only 27.

That's shocking that he can't make the test team after doing well in England a few years ago. Why do Indian fast bowlers become so ****?

Yeah it really sucks how something **** always seems to happen to our bowlers.

In Praveen's case he got injured, recovered and headbutted a dude in a corporate trophy match. Was deemed 'mentally unfit' by a match referee to play cricket and was banned from the Vijay Hazare that season. Got injured again iirc and missed a huge chunk of the Ranji. Went unsold in this IPL auction before being brought in by MI as an injury replacement for Zaheer.

Yadav was going along so well too, bowled well in Australia and in the match against England before the injury let a good 4-5 bowlers jump ahead of him in the queue.

Funny thing is that he was supposed to be rested after Champions trophy and WI tri series but he never got picked after that.

 

[Contra]

Yadav's problem has been that they keep judging him based on his limited overs performances, which haven't been very good. Its like when Bhuvi didn't get picked for the test matches in SA/NZ after not doing too well in the ODIs prior

 

[viriya]

Pandey's first over goes for 1... next one goes for 24...

 

[Contra]

Vintage Sehwag! Could be the last time I see him play in a while. Pure entertainment. Love those late cuts, awesome placement.

 

[viriya]

Still think India would be missing a trick not picking him for the WC.. as in form Dhawan/Sharma may be, I would take Sehwag over them in limited over cricket any day.

 

[Contra]

CSK's bowling has really taken a hit this year, with Jadeja and Ashwin not as reliable as they were before. They need a genuine quality pace bowler for next season.

What happened to Bollinger? He was pretty damn good for them

 

[Contra]

Viru!!!!!!! Man I miss this dude so much when India plays, just sheer entertainment.

 

[91Jmay]

Despite looking like a pharmacist, Viru playing an absolute stormer here.

 

[viriya]

Why was he dropped from ODIs/T20Is? I get that he failed in Tests for a while but why limited over cricket? Is it just cos Dhawan did well and is undroppable now?

 

[ajdude]

far out this is good to watch.

He hasn't been as consistent, fitness issues along with general slowness of the reflexes etc. I don't blame the selectors for dropping him because we do need to build on the new guys, but I still miss him for the entertainment value, would always be willing to watch until viru got out.

Only India can afford to drop a batsman like Sehwag.. if this guy was playing for SL he'd be playing till he's 40 (like Sanath).

 

[ajdude]

hahahahah what a **** send-off, to go with a short wide delivery like that

 

[viriya]

Looks like Ashwin has had wet dreams of Maxwell..

 

[Contra]

What a 100! In a crunch game, been waiting for an innings like this the whole tournament. Gotta love Viru =)

 

[ajdude]

wow this is a paddling, 240's on here
