Deccans need either Afridi or Gilly to lead the side.. with laxman i dont think they'll win very matches.

Gilly should be the captain. He seems very cool on the ground.
 
Holy @#$% went to lunch when we were winning how did we conspire to lose???
 
I blame Laxman for pretending to be a captain and Symmo for pretending to be a bowler. The only time Symmo should be allowed to touch the ball is when he's fielding it.
 
Only someone like Laxman could grab defeat from the jaws of victory!

I am absolutely fuming.

There were only 3 overs when you were winning.

I meant the 2nd last over when they needed 20 off 8 deliveries and RP had redeemed himself by taking two tailender wickets. I knew that if Symmo had been chosen to finish the innings he would give it away as he CANNOT bowl.

Why are you so upset? It's only a game mate.

Why would non-Indians care which Indian city wins what game except in order to see their favourite players progress in the tournament?

What was so wrong about what I said that you're so upset about it?


You seem to be the one who got upset about IPL. Relax and enjoy the show.

Hope the lunch was as good as the finish.
 
Geez we're going to need to score 250+ each match I think if we're to win.
 
Laxman should get the axe in my opinion. But that may never happen - and the stupidity will continue.

Its a pity - they have a really good team ; folks like Gibbs are sitting in the reserves!!

Laxman just cannot manage his bowling resources well in the field.

I said I don't care who wins the game but I did enjoy the match because the Pakistani players did well.

What form of logic did you apply to come to the conclusion that I'm upset about IPL? :20:

whom should he have given over too then.

That Kalyankrishnan guy. He was only conceding 10 an over over 3 overs. Or that Ohja guy, even as a noname he's a better spinner than Symmo.
 
Even that left arm spinner would have done well in the last over.

i think this deccan team is better of chasing then defending..

With our crap bowling attack it's clear that we need more than 220+ to defend. This was Rajahstan we were playing against - geez if Warney, Kaif and Pathan can smack our bowling around imagine what will happen when we have to play the likes of Ponting/Tendy/Hussey/Hayden etc. They'll probably score 300!

:)))

I told you that drop Laxman and Symmo. Those two conspired again and lost it for Hyderabad. I think NO team in this universe can lose it from there. What a crap captain and what a crap bowler, the best combo pack available...Deccan chargers rocks :)))

BTW when is this Symo going back home? I will then support the hyd team.
 
they could have even had rohit sharma bowl - in domestic 20/20 he has 17 matches about 20 overs for 123 runs 8 wickets

Most of Pak fans are only following IPL because of Pak players - just like we following Lahore Badshahs and the players in the ocunty cricket. I have not watched more than 40 overs of lives yet....... out of the nine matches so far. Have not watched ANY highlights yet. So... yeh, it may be huge for Indian fans but unless there is a Lahore or Karachi team...or there is a PPL, we don't care which team wins..... but we'll definitely follow Pak players progress/performance.
 
i seriously think afridi was a bargin at $650K for DC - he is their best bowler by far for 20/20

Hyderabad lost to the weakest team (on paper) in the competition

Feel pity fot the terric hyderabadi fans :( .

Immediately drop Laxman and results will follow
 
Laxman, what a captain! This man nullified the brilliance of RP and Afridi single handedly and ****ed DC. As long as he captains the side, I don't support DC.

Have you noticed that Hyd lost all of their matches becoz of Symmo poor bowling and Laxman's stupid captaincy.

You're spot on! This is the first game I've watched for more than 15 overs.

I watched the Deccan innings till Afridi got out, then I watched the Royals innings till Akmal got out. I switched back on when the PP commentary thread said Afridi was on to bowl and then I watched till the end because there were only 2 or 3 over left!

I was really impressed with the hits I saw during his highlights package, how good a bowler is he? He should be in the Indian ODI team for sure!

Its a great excitement for Indian fans as they can now support their local city. But I understand for you its just your players. Thats pretty normal as I would have done the same

i can understand mercenary. even while watching non-deccan matches i did not feel the excitement that i felt for the deccan matches. so its too much of an ask for non-indians to enjoy it unless they root for a team because of their favorate players.

Dude, Ponting scored 164 off 105 balls when OZ scored 434 against SA. He hit 8 sixes in the 2003 WC final. I would put him far far ahead of Fluke Ronchi.

ronchi has been rather unlucky mate

u see in one he was caught, a very hard catch it was. .and in the other game he got run out.

i know ponting is a good hitter.. but not as solid as hayden and all..
