IPL 2016: Kings XI Punjab a really terrible cricket team, and they’re only getting worse

We are sorry. I want to write nice things about Kings XI Punjab. I want more than century is lyrical wax massive sixes and cracked bowling. When I give the task to write something on each game for KXIP Firstpost, I was really excited. Instead, I'm trying to describe an embarrassing loss in interesting ways. Anew. I run out of ideas, and I have the patience. Kings XI Punjab have a really terrible cricket team and they are getting worse.
In their previous games, they at least provide a decent PowerPlay them some hope. Against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday, they had not even that. They put their worst first six overs of the tournament together as they went as a run a ball losing two wickets in the process with less. The only bats that had made more than 100 runs this season, going into this game were the openers, and both Murali Vijay and Manan Vohra were dismissed at the trapping restrictions.
David Miller failed. Anew. This point has come, whether captain or not, his place in this team needs to be debated. He has 46 runs in five innings and looks completely at sea in the fold. On Saturday, he was able to get a bad ball. A short and wide one of Moises Henriques that are earned smashed at the border, the ball was edged by gentle. find Miller ways to get to. He has now played a third of the 2016 IPL and has a high score of 15th
The fragility of Miller emphasizes only the variations in the form of Glenn Maxwell. Here he met his second ball directly into the hands of Mustafizur Rahman at fine leg. He relied on so heavily on Kings XI that his failure when they are blown pass a body every time. A fully expected punch in the nuts, as he caught at depth.
I have said before all this. I've spoken with the weaknesses of the team over and over again. They have a form of the captain, an inconsistent star batsman, not a superstar spinner and no depth in seamers. Also Mohit Sharma, the unshakable CSK is not enough to make them. Any check
They are just bad.
Just when you things not thought worse, Rishi Dhawan made his first appearance of could get the IPL this season, and he did it shaved into his head with his initials. It was, as he had decided to play in the league for the worst team was not embarrassing enough, and he wanted to make it even more painful for yourself.
The KXIP PowerPlay went for 35-2. The Sunrisers got to the end of the first six overs of their innings with the score 65-0. This is the joint highest score PowerPlay this year's tournament to match the efforts Kolkata Knight Riders that. Against, you guessed it, Kings XI Punjab
A shuffling of pack in this game looked Wriddhiman Saha replaced by Nikhil Naik and Pradeep Sahu for Rishi Dhawan and dropped his terrible hairstyle. It made make no difference how they were so easily defeated, that David Warner a bit boring looked like it from 31 balls crossed 59th The only thing that Kings XI cross other last place to be.
was set after only 144 to win after the top order failed again, there was little the bowlers in the face of the form and performance of David Warner do, which was the leading Runscorer in the tournament. When batting them, they came to the brilliance of Mustafizur Rahman, who in his spell of four overs was great, went for just nine runs. Only succeeded Shaun Marsh in the top order, and if it is for a 36 run cameo of Axar Patel was not, things could have been even worse.
It's hard to describe how it is to be observed, this team is to someone who was not through them, but let me try. When I was a 12-year-old Sea Cadet, I was given the job of being the cox of a rowing team. I was put in the role of steering the boat, because I was the worst rowers. Halfway through the race, one of the other 12-year-olds in the boat, a crew member hit on the back with his oar as he. His stroke at the wrong time The boy who had met turned and struck the boy who was sitting behind him. A fight broke out in a small rowboat, and I looked on in horror as the race ended, and we were stranded in the middle of the river. A motorboat had to come and us and the crowd of parents and other children in this motley bunch of kids giggling save away that had been dragged ashore.
It is so.
A loss of five wickets with 13 balls to spare has been earned for the men of Mohali, but the main concern is to know what they will do next. The coach Sanjay Bangar not really anywhere else to go. He could bring in Farhaan Behardian or Marcus Stoinis but neither overseas player sets your heart beat faster. He could replace Sandeep Sharma with Anureet Singh, but this is basically a like for like replacement. He could choose KC Cariappa, but there are few guarantees that it surpass Axar Patel. All other attempts have been made and not to impress.
If Kings XI Punjab a Sunday, were team, they would call their opponents in the morning of the fastening and say that they could not get enough players and must cancel. Maybe they should try that
