Btw, whoever Somerset's third reserve keeper or whatever it would be is, he sucks balls. Missed a dozen stumpings it seemed like, plus gave away byes. Reckon even Keiswetter would do better.
KKR are **** btw, would be sunk without RTD. Kallis too old, Yusuf Pathan is ****.

It wasn't so much a signing as a back-up to Adams..you're allowed 4 overseas players in Champs League (only two in NZ) so they qualified Quiney on a one-off basis to boost their numbers that could play in India.
I never knew Quiney had such a sh*te Twenty20 record. You're benching de Grandhomme as a result, who was always good for a 20/25/30 at 200 last season in the HRV (very handy with these lowish scores) plus bowls good changes of pace. Yuck.

I don't care if its T20 or first class, I love it everytime I see Ryan ten Doeschate do well. That guy really deserved to play for an full member side to bring out his true potential.

So two of my preferred teams made the main draw. While Somerset are a good team, Kartik needs a good CLT20, so that the selectors take him seriously, with him being the best spinner in multiple conditions, instead of wasting chances on uninspiring youngsters.
KKR need to realise that they need all eleven players to perform, and can't depend on Kallis and Binga all the time- which is anyway a bad idea in T20. I missed the Somerset innings, but given Shastri's assessment of the difference in fielding, I wonder what the coaching staff is really doing with them. There are no poor fielders in KKR (of the Munaf variety), so someone's not doing the job. Nothing's been done about the poor batting and strike rates- it's like they expect all of the twenty overs to be played by Kallis. There's been no homework, no research and no development- most of KKR batting appear to be T20 misfits! They need to get that sorted out and have Kallis-Yusuf-RTD-Tiwary-Shakib/Haddin as their top five, if they wish to score more.
Who doesn't love Bangalore? They've got Gayle, AB and DIlshan, as also several promising young Indian players who happen to be national prospects.

They're just making this up as they go along."Mumbai Indians saddled with many injured Indian players, and will be allowed to field 5 overseas players."

Is it true???"Mumbai Indians saddled with many injured Indian players, and will be allowed to field 5 overseas players."

Problem with Mumbai is that Malinga and Pollard aside, their other overseas players unless I’m mistaken are not very good. Jacobs is proving to be a one hit wonder, a better talker than hitter, James Franklin is a lower order batsman these days while the Blizzard guy will likely score 20 off 5 balls, but that’s all he is good for. Not like Bangalore or Kolkata who have got serious overseas bench strength.

Shame too. As it could be something worth looking forward too, but as long as silly inequalities like this exist..

Wow they paid a million for him didn't they?
Stupid rule, though it won't be much of an advantage for MI given that their overseas players besides Malinga and Pollard (who was **** in the last IPL), are pretty terrible. Davy Jacobs did really well the last CL though.
