losing 2 indian bats with no ready made replacements is a big loss.
only really got Kedar jadhav in the batting fronts.
RCB probably won't make the playoff they will have the big auction next year where all the dead weights are replaced.
doesn't help that they spent the entire auction worrying about the bowlers.
Suspect if KL rahul and Kohli were fit Gayle and watson would be dropped with them playing AB, Mills, Badree, Stanlake/milne
probably one gun overseas player short though,


of course losing kohli and rahul is a big loss but they are still paying Gayle and Watson a decent whack of money based on the players they used to be and what they bring to the table from their names rather than their current cricketing ability

if they weren't doing that they would have had more money available at the auction and might have been able to go after better a better quality of overseas player than billy stanlake

if Kohli and Rahul were available and Watson and Gayle are dropped they are still on the payroll and still taking up squad spots which was the point i was making

Releasing Gayle wouldn't really be a good tactic considering he was brought for his base price, RCB didn't buy him from the Auction and in the subsequent Auction he was retained by RCB so not really sure how IPL can decide how much RCB will get back for him and if they do decide a figure would be a pretty low figure for RCB to actually get a top overseas replacement in the Auction.
only had a base price of $400,000 as well.
Watson could be released though, but they probably thought he might be decent since he was doing well last year for them with the ball and RCB only really need to wait one more season where all the players get released again and all franchises get the same Wage cap again.

Just remembered your comment about imagining a bowling attack with Vinay Kumar, Dinda and Aaron in a T20 game.

Morgan probably been in the bench more than actually playing games.
been with 4 franchises as well, can't even remember the time he was with RCB as well.
he generally been one of those players being used to give players a rest or when the players are out of form he comes in for a few games.

TBH not that hard.
Dhoni wasn't really the greatest keeper to pace men.
Saha probably the best keeper I seen to pace men from the indian keepers, still poor to the spinners though which is where Dhoni was supreme.
Also Dhoni was an average keeper, wouldn't really want people to compare keeping to him unless it is for Stumping.
For a keeper is catching was below average and probably saved himself from Criticism for not even going for catches.

Not sure it was wise for him to rush it today.
Wright said he was surprised he was playing today since Mills told him he was still a week away from full fitness.
guessing if he didn't play today, he might not play in the next 3 games.
looking at the schedule IPL got 4 days of 2 games a day during the Easter weekend.
