Chennai have the same problem as Delhi - way too many foreigners, who, because of the rule, will have to warm the bench. Clearly, the four best foreigners are Hayden, Hussey, Oram and Murali, so they'll start. And L Balaji's lack of fitness, and Sreesanth going to Mohali, and Ntini's likely benching means that Chennai will go in without a real ( Read more... )

i'm purely relying on cricinfo for my news and so missing out on a lot of stuff - they don't publish unless ABSOLUTELY CONFIRMED

but it's good that they've gotten tyagi. basically they dont' have any decent fast bowler apart from Ntini. none of the TN ranji bowlers are also quick - even yo is dibbly dobbly types

I think they should play Albie instead of Murli -- also adds to the batting strength.

And maybe bring Dhoni up to 4, play Hussey at 5 and Badri at 6.

no way they'll drop murali - all the closet LTTE folk in madras will go berserk then

and yeah - the batting order needs to be flexible. early wickets might mean they put in badri up front...

Jacob Oram wont be available for the whole series.. so Morkel is going to play in all the matches.. With Hayden too available for only a few matches, we can expect Fleming/Ntini taking up his spot..
