Any hope for the Bangalore Royal Challengers ?

Question

After losing to Delhi Daredevils today, Royal challengers still remain at the bottom with the worst net run rate. Are they out of the competition after playing their fifth game today or do they still have a chance to make it to the semis and if so can they afford to still lose another game ?

I'm asking because Misbah hasn't played for the last 3 games and they failed especially in the batting department. Now that Taylor is leaving Misbah will hopefully fill in.

Answer 1

no hope

Answer 2

Yeah some.

Answer 3

Ok guys, let me tell u something.... BRC was looked a very good team before the inaugural match and after that once the match has really started they haven't performed. If you see the line up you could see that there are many players who have alot of experince and can really scare the h**l out of the opposition. But its 20/20 dear...you have to play players who have guts to come out of the crease and launch the ball over fence rather than showing a flat bat and hitting the ball just inches nearby your bat into the ground....like what dravid n jaffer are doing... as of now they are super flop...yes indeed a big FAILURE...

But its not over yet, they have likes of Jacks kallis, ross taylor and boucher... so if they play the below team then mallya could really start earning profits because the below team is much better than what the existing team is....

Virat Kohli

Mark Boucher

Misbah Ul Haq

Jacks Kallis

Praveen Kimar

Dale steyn

Zaheer Khan

Jagadeesh Arunkumar

Anil Kumble

Yes only 9 players, other 4 players need to be different than what we see in the squad because no local player is playing good... they have to understand that this is 20/20 and not a test cricket wherein i think these players can prove good and efficient but certainly not in 20/20.

So my additional 2 players who should be brought into this team would be..

Rowland Barrington (Bangalore) -- good player scores very fast

Vinod Kambli -- Better player compared to the remaining guys at least...

So there are not much players in the dug out who can play fast and efficient so Id I really have to bet on any team then I wouln't bet on BRC at all...definately no ROI (Return on Investment).

So I just wana wish them good luck....

Cheers,

SHAN

Answer 4

Sorry they are done.Rahul is not fit for ipl matchs. So they need some changes in the team.

Answer 5

chances is slightly low but misbah ul haq play it will come but not sure because others are very good job did yet so if they work hard will win

Answer 6

They have such a formidable team. Wonder what is wrong with them.

Looks bad just now. But it is T20. They may ounce back.

Answer 7

Why will you make Misbah sit outside man. The guy is a 20-20 expert if he wud have played the results wud have been different. No hope left now

Answer 8

they are  a good team ,but their team composition is going wrong.They must elect players like misbah in their squad.You saw they had often good starts while chasing but made mess of the chase in  last few overs where they are missing pinch hitters.Only a miracle can get them in semis .

Answer 9

I do not think there is any hope. This is my team and I support

them for who and what they are - even though they have disappointed me during the last 2 games. I still do not understand the reason for not playing Misbah. It is frustrating

and I do not know the cause, unless these games are all fixed.

A young player and a hard hitting batsman are much needed.

Sunil Joshi the oldest player in IPL - should just play domestic

cricket and not T20 and ODI games. He does not fit it in this

type of game. RC - if they want to win they better have a good

slugging batsman - Taylor and Boucher cannot repeat every

game and hence they lack in batting depth. Kallis and Dravid

cannot score brisk compared with their counter parts.

Misbah can guide them to an extent and hold one end, but

the other side also need to score....Without Taylor, there is

no one to fill his role. He has been the best of RC so far.

So the bottom line is RC are doomed for failure - even though

they are my team - only for this year.
