Gavaskar always praise Shakib but don't know why they didn't even mention about him yesterday.. Even Harsha who has tweeted about Shakib's inclusion all throughout the season suddenly forgot to mention yesterdays VWPP which was Shakib and someone actually had to remind him that..

Cricinfo expects Shakib to play tomorrow and so do we all.

[World Champs]

you guys remember M Gony in the 1st season of IPL?..he was regarded the next best 1st bowler of india after ipl 2008, was given a india cap and played the asia cup 2008, our own alok kapali took him apart and never played for india. recent example is also ashwin,brilliant in ipl 3 and 4, sucks in int cricket.



R ashwin sucks at international level??? Can you back it up and kindly explain how??

[BengaliPagol]

R ashwin sucks at international level??? Can you back it up and kindly explain how??

Ashwin is a good player.

[Maysun]

I like Ashwin.

[Tiger444]

Ya Ashwin does not suck. He's a good bowler. I agree he has tailed off a bit after a great start but it doesn't mean he sucks. He's also shown his potential with the bat as well. To me he's been a good find for India. Better then Bhajji who has tailed off quite a bit.

[BengaliPagol]

I guess when India get Yadav back then their pace attack will be better. Because the pace attack they had during the Asia Cup was dismal. Kohli and Yadav are my fav Indian players.

[Night_wolf]

supposing shakib wont get to play the final: he played 7 games each on both ipl 11 and 12 and took 11 wickets both year..what a coincidence!

[zinatf]

What a time he's having since December.....3 back to back man of the tournament awards and now he's in the squad for the finalists for KKR in 2012 for the FIRST in IPL history!!!

[Night_wolf]

suppose ipl is the base to determine how good a player is, then shakib is 14 times better then any BD player..lol!

[zinatf]

Ebaro kintu 7 match khele 11 wicket paise Shakib......consistency kahare bole ;)

Fast bowlers may get early swing on chennai pitch but ball comes nicely on bat which is good for batsmen to play shots. Have you seen how brutally pace bowlers got murdered yesterday ? Kulkarni who got 3 wickets gave away 46 runs in 4 overs, Pollard went over 8, Hilfenhaus 11, even slinga malinga went over 10 p/o. Among all bowlers, only bhajji, ashwin, jadeja were economical and all of them are spinners.

Yesterday's playoff was in Bangalore, not in Chennai. Most of the matches in Chennai produced low scoring ones, where wicket kept low and assisted spinners. You just can't drop one of your more potential match winners after just one bad patch, and specially when he won two MoM out of his last 7 games.

Yes, Shak gave around 9 an over in just one match, which wicketless Lee is almost regularly doing ;)

exactly bhai. But knowing KKR Mgt who are mostly accused of making brainless decisions, i wont be surprised if they decide to bench Shakib in this very important match of KKR.

[Jadukor]

Shak would never get dropped for his bowling, however, the KKR management has ample reason to drop him for his batting. In this IPL his batting has been nothing better than a tail-ender and to make matters worse KKR's overall middle order seems really brittle and slow paced. So far it's Gambhir who is carrying the team's batting and even though that has been sufficient so far but it was only because KKR is usually chasing moderate totals. As Delhi showed partially, the KKR spinners including Shakib can be attacked and if a team with a strong middle order like Chennai or Delhi, batting first, scores 160+ against KKR then it will be trouble for KKR

"I don't think he would recover in four days time. Lee should be brought in, that would mean Shakib Al Hasan would have to sit out. (Manoj) Tiwary would make it up in the batting (by replacing Balaji)," he said."

I remember last year Balaji gave away I think 24 runs or so in the last over for which KKR lost but KKR supported Balaji and brought him back the next match.. soo one poor performance shoudn't be an indicator of Shakib's class !!

[riankhan]

More conspiracy

It has been revealed that, Dada Golaguli is losing his popularity to some chyangra Bangladeshi cricketers in Kolkata. In addition, Adu bhai's encouraging creativity (as below), which is well promoted by other forums, made him furious.

http://i50.tinypic.com/24zm7tx.jpg

So he planned for a counterinsurgency. First he initiated his plan by hiring and showing SIXTEEN FINGERS in a row to Tamim. Then putting pressure on Gambhir with his 86 kilo bhuri to drop Shak. Finally, he is planning to put a final nail in the coffin by taking up BD's coaching job (Allah bachaw), as a fielding specialist.

Check tomorrow's Kaler Kantha for details.

Dont see Shakib playing tomorrow . They will go for Brett '50 runs in 4 overs' Lee , to strengthen their pace department .

This strategy , will play straight into the hands of CSK . They have batsman who LOVE pace bowling. We seen yesterday how Aaron went for 60 odd runs against the likes of Vijay , dhoni and Bravo .

Comparing Aaron with Brett Lee is simply ludicrous. Why don't you see the Delhi spinners' figure in the second play-off? You have to bowl in the right areas to contain batsmen in a T-20 match. Vijay is just a regular opener with average of 17.81 and 17.42 in ODI's and T-20's. Gambhir himself is 200% better than Vijay.

I don't want to be pessimistic but if Shakib plays tomorrow he will be targeted. The plan is simple for CSK target everyone except S.Narine. of-course Shakib can bring his A-game and may able to pick lot of wickets but either-way it will not be a ordinary day for Shakib if he gets selected.

Yeap you are right.. CSK will target all the bowlers before Narine comes in.. that's what happened in the last game.. I too think most of the CSK batsmen are very good player of spin so starting with spin attack won't be wise but then again KKR doesn't have a lethal fast bowler.. I think Balaji is better than Lee in subcontinent pitch but if Balaji is not fit then KKR will go with Lee, who will definitely have to play out of his skin !!

I don't like KKR's over dependence on Gambhir and Narine, that's where CSK will win it as they have more game changers than KKR..

[KnightBD]

At least, some sensible advices... :applause:

Greater Role for Shakib Al Hasan:
Kolkata must not only include Shakib in the final XI, but his bowling and batting skills must be utilized in a better manner. If there has been any flaw in Gambhir’s strategy, it would be of not handling Shakib well. Out of the 16 matches KKR played this year, the Bangladeshi all-rounder has taken part in just 7 matches. One of the premier all-rounders of the world, Shakib can be a vital cog in Gambhir’s strategy for the final. He can bat anywhere in the batting order and can bowl at any situation. He can attack from the word go as well as drop anchor while batting. As a bowler, he can take wickets and at the same time strangle batsmen for runs. Gambhir can surprise the oppositions by using Shakib as surprise weapon wherever he feels.

[Night_wolf]

Shakib is easily the best bowler among the all rounders of the two team. But Bravo has the best AR stats by far..i just dont know what happens to shakib's batting in ipl..he hasn't had one conclusive innings in ipl..that 42 of 30 balls was full of chances..he could have been out for 5 and 11..in Ipl and County t20 it looks he cant bat at all

[Banglatiger84]

Radio call-ins today morning were full of arrogant Chennai fans claiming they "vill trashh KKR" and "wonly Chennai will win", and "it is is our home stadium so we will win" (some Bavarian team said something similar recently:)

WOuldn't it be ironic if they got food poisoning or a bad bout of gastro from overindulgence

I think raina would play shak well, dhoni ain't as subtle, more an axe murderer

But I wouldn't midn seeing Bhorta Lee score his 3rd or 4th fifty within 24 balls and again claim as he did in aninterview that he has been
"Bolwing excellently"

Support KKR but not because of the rival teams' fans.

2011--bowled 25.3 overs in 7 innings,11 wiks at avg 15.9 SR 13.9 eco 6.86...Only had 3 chances in batting High score=26 of 16

2012--bowled 30 overs in 8 innings,12 wiks at avg 16.25 SR 15 eco 6.50...high score=42 of 30

So bowling wise almost the same..but certainly had a better batting season this year..with shakib you know he'll improve..so next year is going to be a better one

[mar umpire]

I got nothing against CSK man- they have a good balanced team, don't have the politics and controversies of the other teams, and a good captain in MSD the Axe Murderer (it's a compliment)

Lee nonetheless had a partial shot
"that's why Kallis is the best allrounder in the world"
No doubt Kallis is a class above after so many yrs but shak has dserved his current ranking and the parting shot was more from sour grapes at shak replacing him-even in aus lee hd a go at clarkey who I regard as a captain

Again Lee went for 42

As I said before people have ben too afraid to go after narine, once they go for him, he is susceptible like any other bowler-no doubt he has been the best KKR bowler but not by as a huge a margin as the media has made it out to be

12 Nekre :D

Maybe stat-wise not much of a difference, but unlike last year this year he got 2 MoM awards and a DLF maximum 6 award and also, Karbonn Kamal(It had to be Kamal :facepalm:) Catch award. He was also a very key figure behind the team's reaching the finals and then winning it!

The mysetry of Narine will be over soon-good bowler but he was one of the weaker links today

Maybe stat-wise not much of a difference, but unlike last year this year he got 2 MoM awards and a DLF maximum 6 award and also, Karbonn Kamal(It had to be Kamal :facepalm:) Catch award. He was also a very key figure behind the team's reaching the finals and then winning it!

21 virtual wickets, 12 real ones

one good thing about CSK is the bounce-back ability. We will get in to the play-offs next season come what may.

CSK have been the mst consistent side and the best side over all the IPL seasons so I can see them having another good season next year

As it is I've always like Bisla and it's good to see him do well

[ahnaf]

The mysetry of Narine will be over soon-good bowler but he was one of the weaker links today

But as always Bhorta Lee lived up to his name

yeah..batsman just needs to use their foot properly as well as needs to play positively like raina.

Honestly if KKR have a player like Bisla who can make big scores then there is no need for KKR to have McCullum. KKR dont need openers. They need a solid middle order batsmen like Cameron White, Dave Hussey, JP Duminy or maybe even Kevin Pieterson. This players are solid batsmen and will get the runs for us in the middle order. If we dont buy a player like that then we could use someone like Eoin Morgan or ten Doeschate.

So i suggest we get rid off McCullum as he isnt needed. If Bisla get injured then we have Brad Haddin to back up.

Brett Lee seems to be expensive in his bowling. Im dont know even Yusuf Pathan even deserves to be in the team. KKR's strength is spin so they should stick with that more.

KKR would be a much better team if they have a team like this
1. Gambhir
2. Kallis
3. Bisla
4. Duminy/White/Pieterson/Hussey/Morgan/ten Doeschate
5. Shakib
6. Tiwary
7. Das
8. Bhatia/Shukla
9. Abdulla
10. Narine
11. Balaji

Thank you kindly ahnaf-not everyone gets some of my tongue in cheek comments

Shakib started his 2012 IPL journey with a dropped catch and finished it with a Karbon Kamal catch :D

Good call just realised

That would be great :)

That's the best thing about Shakib he just can't accept failure.. if he fails in any department he will make sure to come with a best performance next time.. remember his pathetic batting form during the Pak ODI and next time we see a wonderful 144 innings from him :).. again we got worried about his bowling in Asia Cup and we see him among the top spinners in IPL !! and we still label him as lazy :facepalm:

[Jadukor]

Shakib had a very ordinary IPL with the bat and yet he was still able to hold his place in a very strong KKR side. I am sure he will take a lot of confidence from this outing and comeback much more strongly with the bat in the next edition.

I have a feeling he has learnt his lesson by getting dropped. After he made a comeback, didn't see him play the mind boggling slogs.

[Zeeshan]

@mason

how on earth is that learning a lesson?

[Maysun]

@mason

how on earth is that learning a lesson?

What I meant was, he has taken some sort of responsibility now than just going for his slogs aimlessly. That was the whole reason he was dropped for in the first place right? When they were cruising against KXIP, and Shakib just threw his wicket and they ended up losing the match.

Even if you look at Shakib's batting performance for the Worcs in T20, he played without any responsibility whatsoever, just went for his shots from the word go. Didn't value his wicket enough.

So, what I'm trying to convey his, after making a comeback to the KKR XI, he has played with some responsibility and authority. Maybe, sitting in the dug outs for a while did good for his T20 batting.

[Maysun]

Seems like Shakib won't get to play much this season

^^ If that's the case, why retain him? KKR could have released him....don't know guess we'll have to wait till IPL starts and see...

Because it feels safe to have the no.1 all-rounder in your bench? :lol:

;)

[zinatf]

^^Hmm...time will say...

[Ajfar]

We have Zim tour around that time. Shakib won't be available for the entire season anyway. So not much to worry about there. Just one more season and I'm sure Shakib will het the hell out of KKR. I hope he will get a team with much better management next season.

[laila]

i think shakib will be ready before IPL.

[Jadukor]

Shakib should rest and prepare for Zim series
