All the KING’s men couldn’t help KKR win a match!

May 4th, 2009

ipl_knight_riders_logoFor a team that has more support staff than players; (Head coach ,Assistant- coach, Fielding coach ,Bowling coach, Throwing coach, Wicket keeping coach) and theories abound – multiple captaincy, YO-YO fitness tests and special camps,it is strange that the only form of victory that it has tasted is with a little bit of help from outsidethe weather and the Duckworth- Lewis method!

The Knights seem to have got things horribly wrong this season II of the Indian Premiere League. First the controversy over multiple captaincy theory then the sacking of Saurav Gangully (as captain) at the very last moment to the mystery blogger; they have managed to be in the news for all the wrong reasons… And at the end of five games find themselves languishing at the bottom of the table with one win and one draw.

There are many questions that need to be answered for it is quite strange that the management send home  two senior players after having played them  for only two games!(Aakash chopra -2 and Sanjay Bangar-1) with a comment that cant get stranger than this…

These are two[Aakash Chopra and Sanjay Bangar] very good senior international players so John and the team management thought that if they are not going to have the opportunity [to play]it is unfair to keep them around”. The fact is that both these players are ill-equipped for T20 cricket and shouldn’t have been in the team in the first place.

Secondly they keep a seasoned spin bowler like Murali Kartik on the bench  till it’s too late when we have already seen what the Kumbles, the Warnes and the likes of Bhajjis can do to the opposition. Then ofcourse they buy a player for 600 grands(MashrafeMortaza) and not use him!

It is high time that the KKR management especially its Chief of Cricketing Operations claimed responsibility for the team and did what is right for the Knight Riders. For the season seems to be lost but they must get back to winning ways  and if there is one person who can meet this challenge it is Saurav Gangully! You may hate to admit it, Mr. Buchanan but reinstating the captaincy to Gangully is your only  option at the moment!

    They r taking such untallented players lyk-Yashpal Singh,Laxmi Ratan Shukla,Agarker hu has no form at current tym and Murali Karthik hu took only 1 wiket in 10 matches.
    I was a big fan of dem bt in truth day r losers nd …………………………………………………………………………………………

    Few points that KKR team should consider
    1> DADA should be captain of team
    2> Improve there fielding.
    3> Change Strategies. If you have wicket then start taking risk by hitting bowl out of ground. (I am taking about yesterdays Match Delhi Vs KKR When kKR teams has 69 runs 1 w. on 10 over but still able to score just 155 runs. I think KKR could score more than that.)

    I am form Mumbai and my best wishes are with Mumbai Indians to win IPL 2. east or West Sachin is the best.

    Its sad to watch my favourite team going down to the bottom, whats going wrong with the team? Please put away your tension and disagreement and unite the team and put on your effort with a spirit of game then u will surely win, I know you can do it. I sorry to see the owner soo tense, give him some cheer by winning some game. best of luck.

    dada shud be back as captain of KKR> Kolkata under BMCCULLUM is worse than the team BARMUDA

    I think only option left for Calcutta is to win as many match as possible to restore their pride and self respect and in Cricket you never know may be they finish little higher than last spot. But for this they need to take few actions like:

    Make Sourav Ganguly captain immediately and give him full power
    Sack John Buchanan as coach
    Improve fielding
    Plya positively as still they have outside chance of reaching Semis or atleast not finishing last and restore some pride

    All the Best Dada. Whenever there was injustice with you , you came up more strongly and this is the time to show people that if Sachin, Dravid and Laxman can play for Indian team there was no reasons for you to take force retirement.

    Is Krishnamachary Srikant listening ?

    Shahrukh is stupid who haven’t knowledge about cricket and give suggestions to our indian legend Mr. Sunil Gavaskar. A person who has done batting for 2 or 3 days how that person hasn’t knowledge about only 20 over’s game. and my best of luck is with Mumbai Indians to win IPL 2. east or West Sachin is the best

    CALCUTTA KNIGHT RIDERS OWNERS :
    THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO RESTORE YOUR REPUTATION :
    PLEASE MAKE SOURAV GANGULY CAPTAIN
    THORW JOHN BUCHANAN
    SHAHRUKH YOU BETTER STAY IN INDIA CRICKET IS NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA
    I FEEL SAD WHEN I SEE YOU TENSE FACE IN PAVILION
    DADA – YOU SHOULD ALWAYS OPEN IN ANY FORM OF GAME , YOU HAVE SCORED OVER 10000 RUNS IN ONE DAY CRICKET YOU ARE TOO GOOD
    THERE ARE VERY FEW CRICKETERS WHO CAN HIT THE A STRAIGHT SIX BEHIND BOWLER AS CLEANLY AS YOU
    ONLY YOU NEED TO CONNECT A FEW BALLS BEFORE START HITTING

    BEST OF LUCK . NOW YOU HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ANY LOSS . IF YOU LOSE ANY MORE GAMES NOW YOU WILL BE OUT OF IPL-2009
