Do you agree that playing Simon Katich in place of Jayawardene was a big folly by Punjab XI?

Question

Katich is a very good player but he cant score at the rate of 20 per over Irfan should have been promoted in his place

Answer 1

well i truly support the Punjab team and what team they select is upto them

but i really congratulate Yuvraj and co. for showing the desire to win

u'll often see teams batting second give up just seeing 200+ on the board but Punjab fought to try and win and that was very pleasing

but yes, Congrats to the Chennai team for their win too

Answer 2

cant blame katich.

he scored at like 150 as his strikerate.

shaun marsh or luke pomersbach wouldve been good.

marsh was top scorer along with david hussey in the state 20/20 comp.

pomersbach can hit pretty hard.

lets hope they get a couple of games.

Answer 3

See, a loss by 33 runs...u can't blame Simon Katich! lemme tell u dat T-20 is all abt clickin' on dat day! i dnt think Jayawardane cud hav done wonders for Kings XI! wat abt Yuvraj?? he's a better smasher...bt failed! n Dhoni?? he departed 4 2!!(i m just giving u an instance, Dhoni is in CSK: i know dat!) i think somebody needed 2 stay dere... dere was nothing wrong wid d team combination.

Lastly,  let's say: winning n losing is wat v call sport!

i hope u agree. isn't it???

Answer 4

No,i think Katich is far better batsman than Jayawerdne.He just failed in one match.I think Mills should have played in place of Kattch but Jaya is too slow.

Answer 5

Since Simon Kaitch is a ODI player for Australia, he he well suited for T20 format as compared to Jayawardene,who is not considered as a big hitter atthe start of the innings. .

Answer 6

They lost to a better team on the day.

Answer 7

Katich IS the better batsman. The only way Jayawardene could be justified ahead of him would be due to his experience as captiain at an international level. Yuvraj did a poor job as captain and ultimately this cost them the game. He needs to call upong the experienced players around him like, Kumar, Katich and Lee

Answer 8

yes katich has really good domestic season
