You still have time to regroup as the IPL has just started. But for that you have to take the correct decisions and not create blunders !!!! Give the captaincy back to Saurav along with a free hand to him to lead the team. Do you feel that Buchanan has a better cricketing brain than Sourav !!!! Buchanan has been a failure even in first class cricket and in no way can stand in front of Sourav as far as cricketing abilities are concerned. So please get to your senses otherwise time will run away from you.

speak with some sense...if he reverses his decision it will lead to bigger disarray within the team....if you are a true KKR fan encourage them to do well in next few matches....still they have not lost badly except first match....

I am sure that I am speaking sense. The present dissarys can be minimized if some sensible decisions (of course not endorsed by you !!) are taken immediately.Anyway, I am extremely convinced about what I said. Good Day
1. No consistent bowling attack.,..Agarkar the best ODI bowler of India in last 10 years (see the stats) is being undermined and reduced to a part timer...as a result no wickets taken at right time and lots of runs given away to opposition by locals like Dinda and unknowns like Anureet
2. No consistent batting order...why batsmen are moving up and down the order..the teams that are having constant order like DD, MI, DC are doing well.
3. Mccullum needs to consult his senior players...allowing Mendis to bowl super over was pathetic decision....
4. Remove Hodge as soon as possible....have Moises Henriques in his place...but please don't bowl with him as he is not a bowler by any regard
5. Too much hype by SRK on TV...just allow team to settle down...don't know why SRK is doing velagiri in South Africa when he shld be busy shooting films and concentrate on his first business like how Mallya and Ambani are doing....too much attention on him robs the focus of the team's cricketing management....he shld just be a moral guiding force for the team not steal the limelight from the team.

I agree with 2,3,4 and 5.
But Agarkar India's best bowler? He is the biggest joke. He is playing for 10 years and only one match winning performance that was against Australia in Adelaide. So far in IPL he has bowled 2 overs and has given 17 and 14 runs in them. Ashok Dinda is far better than him.

Dude first read my message properly...i said best ODI bowler and not test bowler(the match that he won in Adelaide was a test match)...he has SR of 32 in ODIs which is better than Mcgrath's....he has ER of 5.07 which is okay for a bowler starting his career when 15 over rule of having only 2 fielders outside the circle had already started....he has record for fastest 50, 150, 200 and 250 wickets among Indian bowlers....what more do you want? He has contributed a lot to India in winning ODI matches...tho he has not performed in WC till now but in many ODI matches against the best of teams he has bowled a very good opening spell....

In WC 2007 Jayasurya was plumb LBW on his first bowl but umpire didn't give him out otherwise India could win that match. Jayasurya was highest scorer in that match.

You are right. It was some other match. But Agarkar is an unlucky player. He was best in Aus tour of 2003. But after that Ganguly didn't take him in first 2 ODI's against Pak in Pak because Zaheer called himself fit.
Re: Re: Re: KKR is totally in disarray

I agree with you. Agarkar is India's best ODI bowler. His number of wickets, Econ, SR and average all are fantastic in ODI.

thanks anurag....whenever agarkar has been reposed faith in him by the captain(few examples are Aus tour of 1999 and 2003), WI tour of 2006, he has done superbly...he has some bad fate of always being made the scapegoat for a team's bad performance...if batsmen can get out for zeroes and retain for next match, why is Agarkar always in and out of the team? BTW im not a marathi but am a fan of Agarkar.

Agarkar always becomes whipping boy....But he will bounce back and if he is used as a pinch hitter at no.3 he can be matchwinner!!

Fantastic message Forrest........totally agree with you and i have reason to believe that the dumbo decision to bowl Mendis was taken by Buchanan and not by McCullum or Ganguly or Gayle........
Cos international cricketers like Ganguly will never take such dumb decisions.....
Re: Re: KKR is totally in disarray
by Forrest Gump on Apr 24, 2009 03:43 PM
Thanks spitting...i meant mccullum shld have consulted senior players like gayle and ganguly before deciding on mendis...whatever buchanan says its captain's decision on the field u know.

KKR players are nothing but puppets on a string operated by Shah Rukh off the field and Butchernon on the field! Keep quiet and watch their downfall like Mughal empire!
SRK should apolozise for Removing Dada as Captain and humiliating him!!!!
Just like BCCI ,Chappel and More did to humiliate him...Dada slapped them with his come back performance!!!!!!!
SRK would also meet the samw fate as Chappel!!
Macculum is poor Captain!!!!!!!!!!
SRK humilaited Dada who was best Captain of India,with best record !!!!!!
total 40 centuries & 18000 runs..stupendous performance..
SRK apolozised to Gavasker!!!
SRK should first apolozise to Dada & Kolkata public!!
Traitor Azhar joined congress.
SRK is in congress and a Paki at heart!!!!!!!
Beware India!!!!!!!
ISI of Paki created problems in Punjab in 80s,
..nurtured Dawood,attacked India with help of terrorists...9/11 was done by ISI..
Killed Sheikh Mujib..created problem in Feb in Dhaka with help of Terror outfits like Huji..to oust Sheikh Hasinas secular govt...
Pak is epicenter of terrorism ..everyone knows!!!!!!!!
Even problem created by Jehadis over Taslima in bengal was done by Mulla radicals supported by ISI network.. .SRK is a paki at heart.... anti bong at heart !!!

sorry man/mam....there is something called public accountability, since he is getting his profits from public. Hence, we have every right to voice our concerns!
This Super Over concept is far better than the Bowl Out one. However, why not allow the fielding captain to have a choice of utilising at least two bowlers. He could use only one or both the bowlers to bowl the six deliveries. The batting team is having option of three batsmen. Probably this will make the super over contest more interesting.
SRK is an idiot who challenges people like Gavaskar and listens to white jokers like Buchanan. He should be kicked out of Kolkata forever. He is fit to buy Karachi 11, not a Kolkata 11. That he is a Paki spyy is evident from KKR team having maximum number of Pakiz last year.
Hats off to Dada. Although KKR lost but he proved his mettle once again. A slap on Mulla SRK's face. I am sure if Dada were Captain then the super over results would also have been different. So now is it clear to all that "DADA IS NOT DADU YET".
