The Bangalore "Royal Challengers" have some of the most exciting batsmen in the competition in Cameron White, Misbah Ul-Haq, Ross Taylor and Mark Boucher. But they also have two of the slowest test batsmen going around (Dravid and Jaffer). Dravid with his wealth of experience will be hoping he can shake off his tag as "the wall" and trade up to something a bit more aggressive. The wealth of experience in Jacques Kallis, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Dravid and Kumble should give the Bangalore team an excellent brains trust in the middle. They'll have a strong bowling line-up to call upon including Zaheer Kahn , Nathan Bracken and Dale Steyn. Bangalore look set to do better than most are expecting
Cameron White's T20 record suggests he is very unlucky not to be maintaining a regular spot in the Australian side, a fact which only adds to his utility in the Indian League. He averages 43.90 in T20s with a strike rate of 160 and his sole International T20 saw him get 40 not out at an impressive two runs a ball. Combine this with 17 wickets at 21.94 and Bangalore have the complete twenty20 player.
