I keep thinking though, if Badree and Starc were not injured, how good will this RCB side be..


Kohli
Rahul (wk)
AB
Watson
Sarfraz
Baby
Binny
Starc

Badree

Haha yep and if you somehow cobbled together a decent score you'd have to prevent Kohli, de Villiers and Watson from chasing it down. At full fitness they'd almost have to choke to not win.
Hey it's T20 so you never know. Upsets are common phenomenon in T20. The lesser the number of deliveries in a match, the more is the chance of an upset - because playing better cricket than a better team for a smaller time period is more likely than doing it for a longer time.

Clearly De Kock is outrageously talented but I always get this weird hacky feeling while watching him.. like he never actually times the ball.

Love how Henriques just keeps doing enough to not be completely useless. Been shocking with the bat this tournament but he slips in a cameo every 4 games and a cheeky wicket here and there has kept his spot relatively safe.

I get the exact opposite. Even when he plays bad knocks I get the feeling he just throws it away. Always seems to time the ball for me. Like the World Cup 2015 match against India when he buckled under the pressure and lobbed it in the most tamest fashion, even then I thought he had great timing.

Dhawan & Williamson together at the top for Hyderabad is a disaster. You pretty much need Warner to make a huge score or you're going to struggle to crack 140.

They don't have much choice though, this is pretty much the best they can do because they decided to waste money on Yuvraj. Warner killing it and the strong bowling means they're top of the table anyways.

time to reject Dhawan as an International T20 player...over the last 2 seasons Rahane has clearly shown that he's much better...even all of Murali Vijay, Robin Uthappa and Gautam Gambhit are better T20 players than Dhawan

They could try and minimize the issue. eg. if Warner gets out first, don't send in KW at 3 (especially if it's outside the first 6 overs). They've got some hitters that will either get lucky and come off or at least not waste time.

They would still find a way to lose. Plus, no side with Binny in it can possible be awesome.
