IPL Match 12: Deccan Chargers vs Kings XI Punjab

[AkshayS]

It is a match between the champions of 2009 season vs a team that is looking weak losing both the matches.
Chargers are looking the only contender but KXIP can bounce any time.

There is no weakness looking in the chargers side while KXIP is lacking quality bowling.

Players to watch out:
Chaminda Vaas- He is at the top in the rally of wickets and economy. Will he be able to show his qualities against KXIP.
Bopara/Sreesanth-Bopara is looking in form and has done pretty well till now.
While Sree will be leading the KXIP bowling.

If you're going to be picky you might want to pick up on the fact that it's Deccan Chargers not Deccan Charger.

 

[Aussie Team]

Will Marsh play???

 

[AkshayS]

^I think no, either there can be Marsh or Bopara.
For sure, Bopara would be picked.

 

[Varun]

Yeah, Bopara is in brilliant form.But I still reckon that Deccan will win.

Interesting decision of taking in Barath , will see how the young lad fires.

 

[AkshayS]

Barath in, let's see how he manages here.

 

[SciD]

Had Gilly stayed for 10 more overs, DC would have made first 300 score in IPL.

 

[LongLegs?]

I don't get why Punjab won't try Rusty Theron. Wasn't he the best bowler, or one of the best, in South Africa's domestic competitions this year? Seems a better pick than Abdulla.

Barath isn't in the best of form either. But, hoping he plays well.

Edit: On another note, Laxman's injury could be a blessing in disguise if he's out for a few matches. Monish Mishra should come in, he averages 50 in List A and 41 in domestic T20s(not including ICL matches). Been waiting to watch him play myself.

 

[SciD]

Idiot selectors of this team.

Love Abhlish one of good ICL player for Lions and had decent Ranji sesaon is sitting on bench. Salbh Srivastav gets a game.

Sodhi is tailor made for this cricket and he is sitting at home in Patiala.

 

[LongLegs?]

Oh wow, yes, Love Ablish! Can't believe he's not playing. And, Sodhi is gun pretty much.

 

[Varun]

Had Gilly stayed for 10 more overs, DC would have made first 300 score in IPL.

He always plays like this. Hard hitting till 30-70 runs and then out. Great player though!

 

[AkshayS]

^Laxman will be out for some matches now, I guess.
Better for Chargers.
