[nikred]

hmmm.....on one hand i have yuvi the captain of my fantasy team on the other hand he is playing against deccan chargers. whom should i support.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

outfield is lightning fast. a defensive push could even go for four.

 

[Saj]

Zoysa is bowling utter rubbish out there. Why the hell is he playing. Always was rubbish and always will be.

Great bowler is Zoysa, he just got Yuvraj out

 

[Saj]

Back to bowling utter garbage.

4 for Jawawardene first ball.

Adaptability, Flexibility is the key word for a fan

 

[Saj]

75 needed from 54 balls for Kings Punjab or whatever they are called

ahh, Punjab have got this in the bag.. they will easily win.. we are just not good at defending, why does Laxman always choose to defend when he doesnt have the bowling strength to back it up ?

it wasn't Laxman's choice to defend, but Yuvi's to chase

 

[Saj]

The dew seems to be troubling the Hyderabad bowlers

Punjab looking very comfortable here.

56 needed from 40 balls.

Rod Marsh's son doing well out there.

 

[switchblade]

deccan dhakkans would be an apt name for this team....led by the super ******* laxman.

See mate, thats why I wont support DC until VVS caps.. he's not a good decision maker like Dhoni, Warne or Sehwag. Ganguly is havin a rough patch with his batting not firing, but at least he inspires.

 

[Saj]

Deccan seem to have a very weak bowling attack. Perhaps concentrated on too many batsmen at the auction?

nah.. he is Goeff Marsh's son...

 

[Saj]

nah.. he is Goeff Marsh's son...

aah right I see.

Good player was Geoff Marsh.

 

[Shahid A]

will they bring Afridi back for his last over?

 

[dinakar]

can Gilly and Rohith bowl? then only I see a chance for Hyderabad. they are the only ones contributing at the moment. probably they need to take the ball as well.

 

[Shahid A]

why hasnt Afridi bowled quick today? his a better bowler bowling them

Laxman's captaincy is the worst thing happened to cricket.

 

[dinakar]

Laxman's captaincy is the worst thing happened to cricket.

Laxman can't be blamed for today's match. his batsmen are not batting and the bowlers not bowling. today all he could do was just hope that Punjab's batsmen will throw away their wickets.

 

[McBoom]

Captaincy can only be judged by a team's performance in the field. He ought to give his bowlers a decent spell, instead he looks baffled when he is in the field and rotates his bowlers constantly hence not allowing them to settle in any kind of rythm.

 

[switchblade]

Dinakar, if Dhoni or Warne had the same team, they would have beaten any team quite easily..

Come to think of it - bowling is not as bad as it looks.. Vaas, RP and Afridi.. all 3 match winners.. grossly mismanaged.. his bowling changes were asinine. When Kalyankrishna was in full flow, he removes him and makes some bloke like Venugopal Rao bowl.. when Zoysa was doing well, he removed him and gave it to someone else... what an idiot !

 

[Lambu]

Laxman's captaincy is the worst thing happened to cricket.

could not agree more with you.
