Butler is a better player than Pollard. Unless they take into account Pollard's bowling (which is shite anyway) then Butler should be above Pollard in the pecking order.
IPL 2016
- Thread starter prath92
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
IPL's fantasy league is pretty good tbh.
Delhi's team should be
Iyer
DeKock
Aggarwal
Nair
Duminy
Samson
Morris/Braithwaite
Negi
Tahir
Mishra
Zaheer/Shami
Depending on the pitch ofcourse. Don't know why they've shelled out so much on Negi, but they can always drop Duminy and play both Morris and Braithwaite.

Will be supporting RCB as always but bowling looks weak. They have not strengthened it. I am from Pune, so might support Pune too this time. Reaching India on 18th May, so might try and go for the 21st May game in Pune. One of the eliminators is there too. Hope to go for my first IPL game this year.
Surprised no one has gone for Badree. Was he part of the auction?
A bit too much spin though? Mishra Tahir Negi and Duminy? Zak sure to start being captain so might as well put shami in for one of Tahir or Mishra
Another IPL and more pain for Delhi fans like me, hope we avoid a bottom place finish. Hoping for big things from De kock
Pollard's also been out injured since the world cup, and was fat as feck last time I saw him on the TV.
That RCB Batting line up looks insane 
Get out of here!!!!
Get out of here!!!!Since there is no CSK this year, Im rooting for RCB.
Korbo lorbo morboKorbo lorbo jeetbo re.
I find it impossible to support a particular team either tbh, that makes the whole thing more enjoyable. Supported KKR and MI due to Dada and Sachin but with them gone, it isn't close to being the same.
Part of the RCB squad. Which makes it strong, but a couple of foreigners too many maybe.
Gayle
Watson
Kohli
AB
Sarfaraz
KL Rahul
Binny
Harshal Patel
Chahal
Aaron
Starc/Badree
Strong spine but the Indian fillers are average at best

Chahal is good so I'm not sure Badree will play but given the sorry state of the fast bowling contingent (except Watson) they might as well pick 2 spinners.
If RCB bat to anywhere near their potential the bowling probably won't matter but they normally find a way to feck up and not even qualify. I mean that top 4 is just absurdly good. Plus they probably have the best youngster in Indian cricket atm at no 5.

Reports are that Starc won't be given the green light to play given his injury problems I thought?
Not too clued in to that tbh.
Whats the best app for cricket for the iphone? I want a proper app like the ESPN does for the team you choose. Every fixture, every game, every news update I want to get for the country I support.
Starc isn't playing.
Really looking forward to seeing Buttler in this. Hope he has a great tournament.
someone said earlier this edition of the IPL just doesn't feel right, with it being so close after the WC. It's the opposite for me...I haven't watched very many games in the last 3/4 years, but, plan on watching quite a few this time around.
Got the T20 bug proper

I have actually created a league. The website is http://www.iplt20.com. The name is Redcafe and the code is 81880-15514. Just have your team name the same as your redcafe name so its easier to keep track.

Totally in. Although, you might want to split those tags. I didn't get an alert. Max is 10 per post I think.

This is my first year actually following the IPL in detail from the start. How does choosing the international players work? Why isn't someone like Root in there but his teammates are? Also doesn't look like every country takes part?
Thanks for the invite mate but I don't follow it seriously enough to have a fantasy team in.
I haven't watched the IPL since the first iteration. Like I am an expert.
. Just join, if you win, you get the chance to gloat like an ass! . I'm in it just for that.Didn't you see my post? This is my first year following the IPL properly. Im just going off my knowledge with what I saw in the T20 WC last month.

Alright then, that's me sold
Flat Track Bullies XI is proud to join RedCafe league.
Because Root is a test player. England play tests early next month and I guess Root will be playing county cricket for the next few weeks to prepare for the summer.
Morgan doesn't play tests and Buttler got dropped from the team a few months back. I'm a bit surprised Buttler is there, would have thought he wanted to reclaim his test place. The domestic season is getting underway this weekend so it isn't like the Rashid situation where the options are limited to either sending him to Big Bash or carrying the drinks for the test team.
As for the auction you nominate yourself I think with a base price. Then it's up to the franchises to decide if they want to bid on you.
England have had a conservative approach to the IPL. Looks a bit more relaxed now with their new coaching staff, bigger emphasis on limited overs cricket. Pakistan players haven't been picked since the first edition of the IPL because of the Mumbai (?) attacks in 2008 or 2009.

How is Negi going to do this year?
Negi was decent for CSK and DD before. Took a fifer in a match and played some decent shots towards the end of the innings in many games. One of the better Indian young all rounders
Think it's 5, I didn't get an alert
