IPL Indian Premier League - General Discussion

I think last over has worked for Chennai.
Again after the departure of Hayden and Hussey Chennai look so ordinary in Batting.
Dhoni should have promoted Morekel over him because if he would have played that 31 balls than He would have managed more 30 runs for Chennai.

 

[pavanbharadwaj]

Dhoni played a worser innings than any Dravid or Laxman or even Jaffer.

:laugh
Right so.
Hope Gilly and Gibbs would finish this without loosing a wicket.
Require rate is not so high as around 6 so Hope Deccan makes sure to do comeback here.

Go Kolkata Knight Riders, shoaibs back.

Also Bangawhore turns out to be a bad team . Even though Dravid is the best..

a much needed win for the chargers,hopefully this will continue and they ll put up a good show....maybe all thats needed is for laxman to sit out a few more matches and gilly continuing as the captain.

mumbai takes on rajasthan roiyals tomoro and unfortunately for mumbai sachin is still unavailable....jayasuriya and uthappa need to fire and pollock has to continue being brilliant.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Ya Laxman has played a big role in today's win for Deccan by keeping himself out of the game.
If He would do same for next few weeks,i can see Deccan coming back in to business.

 

[irottev]

Stephen Fleming is a lameduck replacement for Hayden.

He's not as good as Hayden, but most batsmen aren't. Big shows to fill. He's looked in pretty rusty form. Pretty disappointing. Hopefully he finds form soon.

Sooo true, thats the comment I made straight away! He has found a bit of batting form though, but Gilly as captain could work wonders for Deccan. Will Laxmann be back for the next game? (Hopefully not!)

Hmmm, we need stability up the order and half our problems will disappear. We have seen our batsman going crazy, so we just need to start and then continue creating launch pads. Also, bad time to hit bad form, Badri.

1. Fleming
2. Vidyut
3. Raina
4/5/6. Dhoni
4/5/6. Badri
5/6. Morkel
7/8. Ashwin
7/8. Joginder
9. Gony
10. Ntini
11. Murali

That would be my time, possibly even play Anirudha isntead of Ashwin and give the guy another go, but Raina HAS to bat at three, he is on sparkling form.

 

[harishankar]

CSK's batting is so weak it doesn't need to be weakened further by dropping a performer like Vidyut.

I hope they bring in more local talent for the next games.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

I don't think CSK has problem with any of single performer.
It just lack of intensity after Hayden and Hussey.
I don't see they are winning any Matches further except against Banglore.

Anyway Mumbai has done well with Toss by electing Bowl.
One more wicket of Watson and Mumbai will be on Top.
Great to see Pollock as a Captain.

 

[angryangy]

Dhoni should open, Fleming should either be swapped or dropped down. It's no good having all your key players batting after no. 3.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Not a Bad strategy but Dhoni opening the innings doesn't make me sense.
First he is the only Batsman of Chennai who can slog the bowlers at end overs.
Another point is inability of Dhoni to play swing.
I think better CSK try Morekel upper down the order. He has good technique and powerful arm.

Anyway Mumbai is back with a Bang and they have thrashed Rajastan here.
RR 103 all out. :laugh

 

[sohum]

Yay Mumbai! Hope we don't mess this up.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

No chance Sohum.
Its easy run for Mumbai now.
Hope We make this with 10 wickets in hand.

@to low scores

key foreign players are gone. So 200+ scores will be very few in future.
