Kochi gets local boy Sreesanth, list of players
Posted on January 8th, 2011Below is list of players purchased, retained or bought in the live auction being held at Bangalore by Kochi IPL Team. Please refer to below table for list. This was first time Kochi was in for Live Auction. They were new but still calm in the auction. They were with their coach Lawson. They bagged 11 players and still have $2 million to spend. Most funny part of the Kochi auction was Sreesanth. They bid for him at the last movement not for penny but for 900,000 USD thats pretty huge looking at his performance in the previous IPL. So, they did balance with solid team and local support.

not as catching as rcb
9 bowlers are not enough for kochi team try some more bowlers. kochy thinktank is so dirty.
good selection,requires good fielders two or three… hard young strickers one or two and need good cooperation in between and during play off… think ‘ur the best’.. good wishes.. best of luck.. our team..
IT IS NOT A SATISFIED TEAM
will surprise a lot of people but not me…a balanced squad.
kochi are too unlucky that they had to go for sreesanth. definetely not a T20 bowler…vvvs laxman whoever thought of getting him….no young player or any attacking player….really stupid choice
DADA will balance the team…
I feel lack of allrounders will have an impact on the team ….. But team is well balanced …… Sreesanth according to me is gud pick.. because…. even though recently he was a bit economical at times….. he can change things…..Vinay kumar too….
I think,,Kochi is the best bowling team from these 10 teams..no doubt in that..combination of SREE,RP and MURALI is really great…VINAY and JADEJA will do the work of allrounders…..i think JAYAWARDENE will ride the team…lack of firework players with 120 above strike rate except Mc CULLUM…LAXMAN is special as a pillar for kochi team…i suggest to select SONY CHERVATHUR from kerala to the team…in my opinion,,kochi is really a nice team and the power is bowling…now waiting for the sweet name for kochi….best wishes kochi…
:-)
nice selection…………………congratulation
its have to be a t20 team not a team of gali cricket………..i think the selectors were drunken when they were in the
auction……………..kun bejatti karwane ko ho………….kochi team ………….su……….k
gud choice to select sreeshant ,we dont want his tears
be aware sresanth we donot want your tears
Kochi is the best team. Maiya(Mahela) is the most suitable captain as he captained the Sri Lanka team to become runners up in Cricket World Cup-2007.(Sri Lankans are the real winners. Australians cheated the world using a scosh ball.) Don`t be afraid , Maiya-world`s no 1 batsman with unique qualities , Murali-no doubt,world`s no1 bowler , Thisara-the young Jayasuriya will do their best to make Kochi the winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!
call DADA…………………………….
very poor team selection only mccullum & owais shah are good batting line is really weak
Very good balanced team…… seven indian palyers are mandatory to play…….hence, most are reknowed indian players in the list……..specially they can fulfill the criteria of playing 7 indian players with their best abilities……the foreign players’ list also good…………just the team needs DADA………….then the will come with enormous potentiality…. after joining DADA the team will get huge support from 10 matches among 18………..9 from the team’s home ground and 1 will be added in KOLKATA EDEN GARDENS………………KOLKATA is with the team always who have DADA…………………we r waiting for the moment………….thanks.
wat the fuck selection….
i 100% bet this will not be in the top 4 …..
fucking kochi teams
Pls call gail
Its really disappointing that great players like Saurav Ganguly not getting a place in IPL In spite of giving good performance in last season of IPL its seems to be he came under conspiracy of politics so this is my appeal to the Kochi owner call dada and become heart of millions of Bengali and I am sure dada will turn to be one of the best player in IPL4
I need Mahela to be the captian and Brad Hodge to be the vice captian.I also need Brendon McCullum to be the wicket keeper.We have many all rounders in the team and Muttiah the highest wicket taker in tests
( Best ) Bowling Team , (Bad) Batting Team ! also a good fielding team
McCullum was a good pick but Chris gayle should have been there ! ! ! ! ! !
Overall An Average Team ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

there is a missing name of saurav ganguly
Fucking team… Too many bowlers… no Indian batsmen… VVS Laxman is not a gud player for t20, we could buy Ganguly with the same money that spent for Laxman… Also he will be a gud captain for d team… Foreign players are gud but the fact is that only 4 of dem can play at a time… We don’t have Indian batsmen… So we should depend upon 4 foreign batsmen… Very bad team selection…
I hate kochi team. They stole muralitharan from csk. Anyway you are not dominate and weak team, i sure you will finesh down the table. The csk hold the cup! Loser!!!!!
DADA is a fool…please stop trying to call him…
m kaif …is fit for this team…..sallection is very poor
Brendon McCullum is real captain of team…
call kevin o brian…………..
kochi team name mattanam teamil allroundears illa
its such a gud team, brendon mccullum is an excellent w keeper and a batsman,jayawardene would do his best captaincy, owais shah cn change the game well & a world class spinner murali would wack off !!! the stumps. hence we didnt needed sreesanth, it was a bit bad selection of sreesanth. bowlers r enough mor than the batsmen.so no probs kochi players wd do there best. come on KOCHI TUSKERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lack of middle order batsman like raina , yuvaraj is a proble for Cochin team. any way all the best to TUSKERS
mahela is a best player of the ochi team,he good captin kochi won season 4 trophy,bt ganguly troble for this team,
very gooood team kochi will take the cupppp
it”s nice ………………………….
the team has 6 2 7 indian players.it”s nice 2222222222222222222222
missing a leader in the team…..call dada
