Why can't Delhi go with dropping Mithun Manhas instead of David Warner for the clash against Deccan Chargers to accomodate Viru??Everywhere I keep reading David Warner will have to sit out..what is the need?Any suggestions guys?

great guns : I suggested a swap of Manhas for Viru..the foreign players remain 4- Warner,AB,Dilshan and Nannes.
HI: That won't be an issue.They can open with Viru and Gauti,Warner can come at no. 3.Warner scored 51 in a match at no. 3.

I think Warner should be played.. Instead of Nanes, y not give a try to Magrath. Again during later stages they can try Maharoof. Before semis, they need to find the right players, as i guess there are plenty of talents sitting out in the bench..Team management is not willing to experiment.
Remove all the coaching staff. Appoint someone likes of Lalchand Rajput...a low profile a normal coach... Remove captaincy from Mccullum...give him some breathing space...he is just not the captaincy material...
Best choice is Sourav if Management has a ego problem with sourav...give it to anyone else...
Back the players when thy are down...
SRK should not involve in strategic decisions....
SRK should not try his bollywood tricks of cheap publicity out of controversies...it hurts the players...
If this is not doable for SRK then sell the franchise to someone else...
If this is also not possible KKR then thr is only one savior for KKR...the famous renowned astrologis "Baburao Gootle"

I agree on few points and disagree on few. 1. Changing Coaching staff & captain is fine.Definitely team needs a low profile coach and Ausis will always create big FUSS so they can be replaced. Captency though Saurav is good choice but its time and again proving that there is a groupism when he becomes a captain. So lot of thougt process should go in deciding captain. Mendis should play every game. He is their best option over average ausi players. SRK involvement I think its more of a perception than reality. I'm not sure he is deciding on strategic decisions . One more important thing is the experimentation with a pinth hitter or change in bowling order should be done based on pitch conditions. I think they are going too much in one direction so oppositions tackling them better as they are predictable.

KKR players shouldn't take the field.Buchanan and the foreign staff should be kicked immediately without pay and Shah Rukh Khan should apologise to the nation.Anything less is not enough.

Point will be added in the remedy list. Agree with you Sarthak...

I don't really care for what happens to the KKR team nor to SRK, but why should he apologize to the nation? Its his team, he took a call on how to man it and he has suffered for his stupid decisions. If he learns and rectifies fine for him, else he is the loser. Tha nation, frankly, doesn't give a shit.... his arrogance was evident the way he treated gavaskar's comments b4 the start of IPL. Once he realized he had bitten more than he can chew, he started making conciliatory noises... good that he is losing..

If that is also not possible try "Babu Rao Gootle"...the renowned astrologist...he can also suggest some tips...
MI : Zaheer- not much damage to MI as Kulkarni also bowling pretty decent. KXIP : Jayawardane : Bating suffers, total collapse. RR: Warne : Bowling and inspiration missing shall suffer. DD : Sehwag : Out of form, so not much damage done.team still doing well with warner.

but still Sehwag can come in place of an Indian player n can change the course of match at any time...u never can predict this guy

Harbhajan just took 1 wicket...although he was consistent I think Bravo's knock of 70 in 59balls was more crucial and he took off the pressure from Tendla....
if econonomy is the key for MOM decision then JP Duminy has also done good bowling in todays match...15 runs in 4 overs with wickets of Yuvi and Mota...dismantling the middle order...
I also disagree with the MOM given to JP Duminy rather Rahane in the match agaist RCB....Rahane came after tendla was duck out(5/1) and made 62 of 49balls and JP Duminy came at 53/2 at 8th over...and made 59 of 41 balls...now tell me who is the better choice for MOM
Also for the match between DDD vs MI
Nehra took 2 wickets giving 27 runs in 4 overs
AM Nayar in the 17th over Bhajji in the 19th over...
Where as Devilliers made a crucial knock of 50 in 38 balls and made sure he stays till the end..he came when the score was 46/2 with the loss of Gambhir and warner...Dilshan on the other end was struggling to make runs and he did the crucial contribution....
Like wise I saw many goof ups in the MOM decision???? your comments pls....

it is clear that bravo was the perfect choice for Man of the Match award...
harbhajan bowled well but it was Bravo who made MI to reach victory and get a position in top 4 in the points table.
Now if bravo doesnt perform in the next match, then i dont think anyone in this world has the right to ask me what went wrong... cauz he will have his answer ready... 'when i played well nothing for me and when i played a wrong shot and got out.. i m the bad guy'
but politics curbs in always... and spoils the players chase to fame...
Note: politics doesnt mean the politics of political leaders but politics of MoM selectors and IPL authorities :(

Bhajii got the MOM for the spirit he put in the team for the last 2 matches. I agree that Bravo should have received it, but the point is Bhajii brought the attitude he took 2 catches 1 wicket and 12 runs taking off the pressure completly !! Bravo can perform again and he will get it !! come on man dont tell me Rahman deserved Oscar for "jai Ho" but he definetly deserved it for his music for all these years, its a team, its got to be distributed, get the spirit not the moment !!!

i do agree wid u ,but i m concernedd abt Bravo case. Bravo was well deserved for MOM yesterday.It will mar IPL's reputation as foreign players are being sidelined.
Re: Re: Teams for SEMIS ?
by Indian on May 13, 2009 11:01 AM
The reason why I choose RR as 4 is they have a strong ability to bounce back...unlike MI which is very unstable team and RCB which can be only after RR in rankings and performance...KXI is a gone case...
Re: Teams for SEMIS ?
by Ajit Warekar on May 13, 2009 10:53 AM
i dont feel that this is the correct time to comment on top 4...
cauz the teams are wining and loosing evenly.. so there is high probability that we may see some magical changes in the top 4 for semis
but i m hopefull chennai, dd, MI will make to semis... 4 th team will be RR or DC (hyderabad)... but punjab and bangalore are not far behind.. one win and they are back in action....
so its difficult this year to comment on top 4 teams unlike last year... :)
