Deccan Chargers batting first!!! Pleaseeeee BEAST fire today

doubt he will his batting is just a bonus were all concentrating on his bowling
 
I'll cheer for DC today, they badly need a win. VVS needs to make at least 20 (and quickfire) and save some face!
 
Time for dakkan Sloggers to win one.

Not as good as they were hyped but also they are not as bad as to loose 4 in row !!
 
Deccans fielding first. Interesting decision, seeing as its a hard, fast pitch where batting first was recommended. We have a big batting line-up though; something we can definitely chase with.

Same line-up, save for Vaas out this time.
 
So its pronounced Ronki, not Raunchy as I was pronouncing his name :)

RP Singh to bowl the first delivery.

Must win game virtually for both teams.
 
I think that no ball call was a bit harsh...

Afridi takes out Uthappa!!! The beastly Juggernaut keeps rolling!!
 
Super over from Afridi, considering his first ball was a noball then a 4 off the free hit.
 
Run rate 4.5/over and going down. Don't see that very often in 20-20.
 
Afridi's taken off after just one successful over. Laxman's showing mercy to the Mumbai Indians.
 
Laxman demonstrates his great captaincy again and takes Afridi off after Afridi got a wicket!

I assume he means to use Afridi in one or two over spells when the game is getting tight because he's his best bowler but a bowler needs to build up some rhythm and momentum through bowling in spells.
 
10 overs gone now, 3 left by Afridi. Unless laxman wants to bowl Afridi at the death he should bring him on now.
 
Boy this Afridi is something special eh? 2 overs 2 key wickets. And there's still 3 delivieris to go in his second over.

What is Laxman playing at here.

I dont want to believe it because it sounds really stupid but I get the impression Laxman wants to use Afridi in 4 one over spells. Whenever the other team are getting away he can stick Afridi in and Afridi will sort everything out!

I think Laxman is really DM

I guess I was right, Mumbai score 30 runs in 2 overs and LaxDM brings Afridi back!
 
Laxman leaves the ball to the other fielder to field.

afridi:"Laxmanji aapka hai"
 
haha, Afridi yeling at Laxman. Now thats beastly.
 
afridi said to laxman.

tum kahan hein?

where r u this was after laxman just stood their and didnt move when the bowl was his to field
 
hopefully they can get 150-160.

afridi last two overs went for 25 mostly down to poor fielding

I cant believe I was right, how dumb is this guy!!
 
Laxman is the worst captain in the history of mankind, he makes Malik look like Steve Waugh.

I'll tell you how you can use a spinner for one-over spells. When you have a spinner that operates like some massively fatal atomic nuclear weapon that only needs to be employed sparingly :D
