KKR - worst team in IPL
by Sitaram Kesri on Apr 21, 2009 01:50 AM  | Hide replies

Is there any forum or poll for the worst team in IPL? I can bet its going to be KKR. It has got a very poor coach /director in Buchanan and also there are monsters like Ganguly, and above all a crook like SRK as the franchisee. In spite of having current greats like McCulum, Gayle, and other T20 specialists like Bradd Hogg, this team is suffering. Its mainly because these days cricket (in general) is ran by movie artists who donot understand any head or tail of the game, but they get into team/captain selection, and start making decisions. Then, there is Ganguly. He used to be a good leader and good batsman, but that was perhaps a good 4-5 years back. He never accepted that he himself is his own enemy by not accepting criticism. He never was a good player, he had good mental grit but then he stopped evolving himself when he stopped accepting feedback from others and stopped seeing value in them. Thats when trouble comes - you never improve. Finally Buchanan: he has always been regarded as a tyrant, arrogant and someone who has always practiced his own ways - he was once regarded as "a king of terror" by his own Western Australia team and was subsequently removed. Last and not the least, bengalis are always known as emotional and unpractical fools. Sure they will not take this column as a practical advise. What have they done to boost their current generation? Instead stay with historical RNTagore and greats from old generations? Just basking in the glory of Ganguly?

ok, I got carried away, perhaps "monster" was not the right word! Real issue here is this gentleman (Sourav Ganguly) wants too much of headline, and can perhaps be described as a power monger. He not only wants to hold on to the coveted position of captaincy, he also has an uncanny habit of showing his records to anyone who has criticized him. He did the same thing to Ravi Sastri, and overnight turned him to an enemy, same with Sanjay Manjrekar. So everyone found an way to politically side line him. In spite of having lot of potential he silently faded away, just as the way other bengalis have faded away to oblivion. No there is no other go than to dump him. If people of Calcutta ever has any say, they should also dump this Buchanan, and SRK and form their own team -- not possible in the IPL framework though, which is a money minting machinary for BCCI.

Just he hadnot courage to remove so early becuse marketing people are common for Shahrukh and Ganguly,otherwise there were already news that he want to make captain to Mccullum.So to consolate Ganguly he made him one of four captain .But When Cricket lihe Gavaskar and Vengsarkar suggested then he shwed courage

Ganguly, The MAN of controversy
by kapil shah on Apr 20, 2009 02:17 PM

When Ganguly was captain of INDIA,Bcoz of his attitude problem left out from INDIAN team.When He was not in Team INDIA,he used all dirty games like to use political and Media power to come back in Indian Team.Now his own domestic team also dont want him as a captain .Rahul Dravid ,VVS LAXMAN who also lost his captain never made noise but when it comes to Ganguly ,Unnecesary noise get started.MOST IMPORTANT CONCULSION IS GANGULY IS HIMSELF RESPONCIBLE FOR ALL CONTROVERSIES.HE HIMSELF TAKING REVENGE OF HIMSELF. ONE CAN ONLY SAY GOD BLESS HIM .

What is his game plan
by Saravanan Balasubramaniam on Apr 20, 2009 02:13 PM  | Hide replies

When ganguly was included in World Cup'07 squad, after a long controversies, he scored very slowly against Bermuda, when all the indians were firing...

Similarly yesterday, in a 20-20 format game what made him to play such a slow innings of 1 run from 12 balls??

Is this because of the change in captain during both the occasion?

Aussie Coaching Manuals!
by Ankur Sapra on Apr 20, 2009 01:55 PM  | Hide replies

KKR is not only led down by the team performance, but mainly because of that heroic coaching tips given by that Aussie coach. these aussie coaches think they are very smart with their unique and stupid ideas. they should be kicked out of IPL and instead job will be better done by Indian ex cricketers. God knows why franchises are so much for their awful ideas.

KKR - Seriously missing Umar gul and shoaib aktar
by satya on Apr 20, 2009 01:47 PM  | Hide replies

yes,they lack the firepower in their bowling
except Ishant,off course he failed to deliver last season

dinda - looks to be a wicket taking bowler, but inconsistent in line and length

Agarkar - he hasnt left his old habit of leaking runs, in his first over he conceded 17 runs

Murali Karthik
done a decent job, but not a bowler who can threaten a side

definately, they need early break throughs by Ishant and dinda and MENDIS MAGIC in the middle to make into semis
