IPL | Hyderabad Deccan Chargers vs Delhi Daredevils | Hyderabad | 22/04/08

haha symonds has been thorougly embarassed. Small consolation to what he did to India a couple of months ago.

12.6 Symonds to Sehwag, SIX
12.5 Symonds to Sehwag, FOUR, oh this is like X-box cricket! Four more, pulled over midwicket, what an over!
12.4 Symonds to Sehwag, SIX, good grief, now he's smashed him over cover! Sehwag is on a roll, just stepping aside and carving the ball for another flat six
12.3 Symonds to Sehwag, FOUR, banged in short, he gets up on one leg and rolls the wrists, pulling into the ground behind square leg and the sweeper running around, Ojha, dives and lets the ball go away
12.2 Symonds to Sehwag, SIX, flat six, as Sehwag just picks the length up and carries through with a pull over square leg, lovely stuff
12.1 Symonds to Sehwag, FOUR, hooooooooooo! Sehwag wants to fly out of Hyderabad as soon as possible, again clearing the front leg and slamming Symonds over extra cover

darn sehwag can't get a century, it's tie game. Dhawan would have to just sit there and gvie bowler maiden over for sehwg to get a crakc.
 
happy to see my second fav team win ..... the chargers are all hype , bangalores test team going to maul these guys . :D
 
wow deccan chargesr seem horribly overrated, a horrible batting performance first game, and only ishants knock saved htem again today.

Delhi wins by 9 wickets with 7 freakin overs to spare.
 
sehwag has led from the front and inspired his team to victory.

his team is looking very good and stand a good chance of winning this if they continue to play like this

:))) I bet they seem to be the worst in this tourny. Think if Rohit would nt have played that beauty , match would have been over in 20 overs (total)

Laxman please drop yourself and relieve us with the pain :D
 
well you cant win if you drop Halwa catches. Catches win matches be in 20/20 or Test Match.
 
this just shows that even for T20 you need proper batsman and not beasts. :12:

I wannna see what laxman blames today - pitch, light, bowl, bat, crowd, commentators :D Man why dont he just drop himself, he is such a poor captain. Let afridi lead the side
 
awesome leadership and batting by Viru. WON IN ONLY 13 OVERS.

I want to see Delhi beat up Kolkata now

Doesn't matter. It is where he learnt his cricket is important.

It is anything but hyderabad. Players like Laxman, Azharuddin are not known for too many lofted shots. Rohit plays much like Mumbaites who doesn't mind occasionaly lofted shots.

mmm his wife will have a chappal in her hand waiting for him at the door step.

also the cameramen were over doing it. they were taking the camera to such angles that u could see upskirts of the cheer leaders. cricket is no more the game that we used to know. i wonder where their hindu fanatics r??
 
nikred said:
yup i wont blame afridi....its the million dollar baby whats he doing. :12:


Ya, give Afridi a break, he just prolly is shaking off some cobwebs and dint had not enough practice against quality bowling for a while now.

Am sure he will fire soon.

Ya ...our million dollar SYMMO... turning out to be a white elephant :12:

If I were team owners, I would fire Laxman and make GILLY the captain.

Yeah, Rohit sharma is a Telugu.
 
Rohit's Telugu roots

Telugu connection to Twenty20 World Cup
Staff Reporter

New find Rohit Sharma’s mother hails from Vizag and he speaks fluent Telugu


HYDERABAD: People of Andhra Pradesh distraught over not having a representation in the current Indian cricket team playing in the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa need not despair.

In fact, there is a Telugu connection to the team’s victorious campaign. Promising new find Rohit Sharma of Mumbai has his roots in Visakhapatnam as his mother Purnima Sharma originally hails from there.

The youngster too can speak Telugu pretty comfortably if not fluently. “We never thought that he would be there in a World Cup final honestly. But, now we should all pray that India should win the Cup,” said a delighted Purnima in a chat.

its not about the lofted shots , but typical lazy elegance of hyderabadi batsmen which rohit plays with !
 
afridis has raped my SS standings in cricinfo along with the million dollar monkey

its time for the beast to be unleashed in the next match
 
Pathetic day for my Fantasy team, where 5 of my players played! Only decent one was Maharoof, and would have been AWESOME if he didn't go for 26 runs in his last over!

This whole IPL thing is just about fantasy cricket for me.

Ye I get wat u mean, these days Indians are becomin too westernised and forgettin their own culture

cool, so Rohit is Telugu, bats like a Hyderabadi, has the attitude of a Mumbaikar and flamboyance of a Dilliwallah. :14:

Jadeja has played like him. As far as Hyderbad goes.. how many players are there really in the last few years. Azhar and Laxman. That's all. Jaisimha played long back. He looks more a mumbai batsman like sandip patil, vengsarkar with his shots than the wristy Laxman or Azharuddin.

Btw.. unless you model yourself on some of other batsman we cannot generalize. Sehwag modelled himself on Tendulkar. So we cannot say Sehwag is from Mumbai.Honing the skills got nothing to do with where he is from.

Dont see any trace of arrogance in him like a typical mumbaikar cricketor :D

And DIlliwllahs dont have flamboyance, just exaggerated luck like Sehwag :p
