hi

 

[Ali TT]

Raza basically singlehandedly carried a subpar Zimbabwe team to a solid chance at qualifying for the semi's of the last T20 WC and he's a nobody?

There's some words doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.

No, you're just being very ignorant. Raza is the best T20 all rounder in the world bar none.

Well apart from maybe the fella that got Player of the World Cup and is in the same franchise.....amongst others.

do you really think Curran is a better batsman than Raza???

 

[Molehill]

do you really think Curran is a better batsman than Raza???

No. But as an all round package, I know which one I'd rather have in my team.....and his price tag would suggest others thought the same.

sorry I thought you were the original guy who asked why Curran wasn't sent in ahead of nobodies

it depends on what you want from a player really. Raza for a batting all rounder and Curran if you want bowling all rounder. prices in the ipl rely on lot more than just talent. age, marketability, hype, when you appear in the auction and previous history all have a very big impact as well. Curran benefitted from all of those. for eg Farooqi earns only 60k and Jansen earns 9 times more than that but Farooqi is the much better t20 bowler

Totally agree. They both benefitted from the World Cup. I doubt Raza gets drafted without it, and Curran's price was dramatically inflated because of it.

 

[Ali TT]

Whatever Raza did against the associate nations at the T20 WC, I'd still have Curran come in with 4 overs left than him.

Raza can only statpad against associate teams like Pakistan, India, West Indies and Ireland smh

KKR pin their hopes on Narine and Russell against Kohli-powered RCB
Knight Riders' top six faces a big challenge as the IPL returns to the Eden Gardens



Matter Tie Kohli up with spin

• Maxwell, Kohli and du Plessis don't have great strike rates against Narine in the IPL. Maxwell's stands at 101.75 (58 off 57 balls), Kohli's at 103.06 (101 off 98) and du Plessis' at 80 (36 off 45 balls)
• 
  
• On the other hand, Kohli loves hitting out against the India quicks in the Knight Riders squad. He has hit Umesh Yadav for 150 runs off 85 balls and Thakur for 67 off 42. So don't be surprised if they introduce Narine early against Kohli and du Plessis.
• 
  
• Russell is going to play his 100th IPL game and Narine his 150th, and it will be in front of the Knight Riders home crowd.

Livingstone will be in India around April 15, the dates are fluid," the ECB official said.

By April 15, PBKS will have played five of the 14 games.

Punjab bought him for 11.50 Crore.

 

[Brook's side]

From 2024 IPL will be 94 matches

crazy if true

What are KKR smoking with this lineup while batting 1st? They've got about 3 batsmen and that's it.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Okay, so as one of the users pointed out, Suyash isn't in the XI that KKR have announced despite Rana talking of his inclusion at the toss. Will probably come in as the impact player.

I'm not familiar with some of the KKR players, but the RCB line up has Karthik at 3, and Bracewell at 5!

 

[Brook's side]

I guess it makes sense for your sub to be a batter replacing a dismissed batter.

What is that? Test match?
