I think Rahul Dravid to be a better captain of RR. They are forward-looking captain. Dhoni, who was promoted to captain and himself left the captaincy. Watson should come to bat after 10 overs and Need to score quickly.
I think so we have to take sanath jaisurya or make him captain. Cuz old is gold like warne and give chance to only young attacking players.or botha may have good choice to be captain in this team. And requset to Dravid paji he have to do wicket keeping for his long future and for my fav. RR.

Yes Rahul Dravid will be the finest person to lead RR, in view of his experience,tolerance,leads the team member, performer, and highly respected in the cricketing field, and he is next to Tendulkar in aggregate runs scored both in tests and in one days.
Re: Why 14 Matches only

Google for it. A little complicated. The 10 teams are divided into two groups of 5 (though the groups are not mentioned). Everyone in each group plays each other twice. Then each team in one group plays each team in the other group once. They also play two teams from the other group picked at random. Something of this sort :-)

@ Digvijay no sir...according to you there will be 13 matches for every team (4x2 5x1). There may be some grouping but..weird as I don't know about. yes..may be google can help in this! But the structure is what I mentioned earlier!
Re: Why 14 Matches only
by naveen dhanerwal on May 12, 2011 12:27 PM
it's because every team is playing 2 matches with 5 teams and 1 match each with the remaining 4! lets say team nos are 1-10 Then 1 no team will play 2 matches with teams no 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and single matches with teams no 7-10! It's nothing! This time they have planed the way to final diferent also. No 1 and No 2 team will play 1st final. Winner will go through to final. No 3 & no 4 will play PLAY Off match and the winner will have to play the 2nd semi final match against the loser of 1st final match and then the winner will go through to final! So..you can say no 1 & no 2 teams are benifited here! phew! Complicated..isn't it?

I think the play off matches is a good idea. It is fairer to give the top two teams another chance even if they lose the first playoff match, as they have done well over 14 matches.
this is right decision for RR to give captaincy to Shane Watson. though Australian team is not giving him at least try with RR. ALL THE SUCCESS TO MR. SHANE WATSON. HOPE YOU WILL CARRY IPL 5 TROPHY on behalf of legend spin master SHANE WARNE
