Styris isn't a specialist bowler.

 

[SaiSrini]

Styris isn't a specialist bowler.

He is almost equal to one. He is a very skilled specialist bowler.

 

[crazyrahul]

Gambhir should have been opened the innings.

----------

KKR has upper hand so far. What a start by Kallis and Bisla !!!

Southee turning expensive here. 3 consecutive boundaries from Kallis.

I can't believe it's all started so soon, I logged on to cricinfo out of habit more than anything, thought "oh yeah the county championship starts today." then noticed australia had already played their warm up in bangladesh and there was an IPL game going on.

I am all circketed out for a few weeks I think.

 

[Sartaj]

Will be interesting to see for how long Dhoni shows faith in Morkel,given his poor form,especially with the ball.

Is Dwayne Bravo not available for CSK?
What about Hilfenhaus?

Both would be better than Styris or Randiv.

And why is RTD not playing for Kolkata?

 

[s2sschan]

I am All for inviting Pakistan players in the IPL. Let's work on solving problems between the two countries and improving relations between the two people.

Bravo is not available. Hilfenhaus is out of the tournament.

 

[STLIndian]

Bravo is not available. Hilfenhaus is out of the tournament.

When will bravo be available? (If at all)
IIRC, Bollinger is out too, right?

Sorry about all the questions haha.

 

[Zidanes]

Awesome knock by the Riders. They will easily win this game.

Yeah, Southee came in as a replacement. Not sure when Bravo's back though.

 

[Haarithan]

Yeah, Southee came in as a replacement. Not sure when Bravo's back though.

Southee replaced Hilfenhaus and Tharanga replaced Bailey . Bollinger will only miss a few games for CSK .

 

[Gaurav_7]

Southee replaced Hilfenhaus and Tharanga replaced Bailey . Bollinger will only miss a few games for CSK .

Indian Premier League 2011: Chennai sign up Tim Southee | Cricket News | Indian Premier League 2011 | ESPN Cricinfo

This says Southee replaced Bollinger. Though, you're right about him missing only a few games.

 

[SaiSrini]

Awesome run out by the Maestro MSD!!!! Yusuf gone, and its a BIG BLOW!!! Come on CSK! Super over from Randiv. Almost got Pathan stumped and then MSD got him from the other end.

 

[simsanta123]

What is Gambhir thinking? Sending Tiwary?? Is it because of the off-spinners?
