8 Parthiv Patel
9 Sivaramarkrishnan Vidyut
10 Shadap Jakati
11 Sudeep Tyagi

Have actually decided to drop Gony, has been going for 9.16 an over. Hopefully bringing in Patel for him means Vidyut will bowl for the first time in the tournament too.

Oh dear at the other bowlers.

 

[kears_falcon_9]

Awesome game there, 4 for 11, take that any day, and a handy 30odd to go with. Splendid...

I'm so sorry, man. I thought you were Gough

Surprisingly enough, Goughy is Gough.

Not a great performance but the side has better balance now that Vidyut is bowling. Hope he can step it up.

 

[Blewy]

Chennai manager has lost his marbles, not playing Goff. What is he thinking

Dont happen to have an Indian passport do you? Just cant fit you in the side with only being allowed to play 4 non Indians. Bailey, Kearsley, Hayden and Morkel have been among the best players, although you did do a good job when you played.

We dont have a game next round but our next team will be this. Jakati moved to the top of the order, he made runs for us in IPL version 1 and hasnt had much of a chance with the bat this time around, Hayden's form has dipped a bit so hes pushed down the order.

Here goes nothing.

Gough, Corrin, Steyn unlucky to miss out. I was doing some stat analysis of our losses. The batting seems to be collapsing way too easily. So all the foreigners slots went there, hoping to shore that section up.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Good to get a win up.

Will persevere with the new look top 3 but Jayawardene was dire so Sangakkara gets a second chance. Quite pleased with the bowling.

I've been playing poorly due to Shaun Marsh's horrid body odour. He needs to sort that out ASAP.

More runs and less showboating or you're out IMO. Want you to be top run scorer and you haven't even passed 300 yet FFS.
