Liam, howcome the Australian players are unavailable at the start?

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I'll be needing team managers to post their 1st XI. Note that this is largely a formality, in case a team is not posted in time before a game is simmed.

Bangalore Royal Challengers - Venkatesh Prasad = Dan R.
Chennai Super Kings - Kepler Wessels = Simon
Delhi Daredevils - Greg Shipperd = Kev
Hyderabad - Robin Singh = JR Gray
Kolkata Knight Riders - John Buchanan = G Sriram
Mohali - Tom Moody = Trav
Rajasthan Royals - Shane Warne = Dan S.
Mumbai Indians - Sachin Tendulkar = Mat

Note that a maximum of 4 overseas players are allowed. Batting and bowling orders must be posted, using the WCC-approved format.

e.g.
1 - Bowler A, Bowler B
3 - Bowler C
4 - Bowler D
5 - Bowler E, Bowler F

etc.

[Agent TBY]

Kolkata really should have Pujara in their squad. You do realise they don't have 4 U-22 players?

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Liam, howcome the Australian players are unavailable at the start?

Ponting made a comment about the Australian players likely to be unavailable for the IPL for the first couple of years. I've taken this to mean that they're unavailable for this one at the very least. That said, that status may change before or during the IPL season. Nathan Bracken, however, is recovering from surgery and unlikely to take part in it at any stage.

I meant to add Pujara. Will do so now.

I was under the impression that Cricket Australia had approved players to take part in the first two weeks of this years tournament before they head into camp before the West Indies tour...

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That wasn't the indication of Ponting. But then Ponting made his comments immediately after the first bid, meaning that it was very early in the process.

EDIT: Availability of Aussies adjusted.

[Jamee999]

So I have to have no more than 4 overseas, and how many Under-22?

[Simon]

Chennai Super Kings
1 M Hayden (Aus)
2 L Camps (CW)
3 MS Dhoni+*
4 S Badrinath
5 S Raina
6 J Oram (NZ)
7 A Mukund
8 S Tyagi
9 S Jakati
10 J Sharma
11 M Ntini (RSA)

Bowling Orders
1 M Ntini, K Wright
2 H Davis, J Sharma, R Dunn
3 J Oram, M Muralitharan, L Camps, C Obuya
4 S Tygai, S Jakati, A Morkel, R Ashwin
5 S Badrinath
6 M Hussey

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

So I have to have no more than 4 overseas, and how many Under-22?

Not sure what the official rule is, but for ease of management, will allow any number of U-22s in an XI.

[Agent TBY]

Kolkata Knight Riders - First XI

CH Gayle (WI)
AP Chaulk (+) (CW)
RT Ponting (Aus)
PR Sajith
CA Pujara
SC Ganguly (*)
A Chopra
SI Abdulla
M Shah
Umar Gul (Pak)
I Sharma

Bowling Orders

1 - I Sharma, Shoaib Akhtar
2 - M Shah, A Agarkar, S Kaul
3 - Umar Gul, Mohammad Hafeez
4 - CH Gayle, SI Abdulla
5 - M Kartik, GN Nayak, EAP McNamara
6 - SC Ganguly, PR Sajith, CA Pujara

Whoever's listed 1-5 and playing HAS to bowl out their overs, unless going at over 8 RPO. So in the first XI: Sharma, Shah, Gul, Gayle and Abdulla will bowl out their allotted quota.

I hope that makes sense, because I'm not used to this WCC-style bowling order format.
