Cricket: Riders feel the Charge

As I said Cricket and T20 are like two subjects too be prepared from the text book, but the maxims of the two games remains the same. I think even the punters know this fact. I didn’t see the curtailed match as I opted for the siesta instead. But yeah Sehwag did fire, he has had one of the most interesting last 18 months and his opening partner too seem to have a run full time. I think Delhi and Chennai have the most potent bowling attack hence favourites to win. Others are good but remain untest.

I saw the Knight Riders vs Decaan Chargers match. So here are 20 point blog from the match Knight Riders vs Deccan Chargers.

  1. Fidel Edwards 6 in four overs, brilliant, gearing up to see Edwards vs Malinga.
  2. All hype of Gayle, McCullum and Ganguly was settled in first 20 minutes of the game, all three in the hut and KKR reeling soon.
  3. The variety of reasons may have taken IPL away from India but lots many things in terms of must-do-basics-of-cricket have between bought closer.
  4. Did I see turn on SAf pitches? Ojha and Karthik would be still rubbing there eyes in some disbelief.
  5. Scott Styris was saved from the blushes by two brilliant catches by Gibbs and Sharma.
  6. Gibbs the swash-buckler he is tuned it on big time, scored a meaty 53 not out, made sure the driver advantage is bought all the way to deliver point.
  7. The onus is on Rohit Sharma tough, he need to prove both fitness and form and temperament and technique, there is no doubt over the quality of talent.
  8. RP rips apart Kolkatta Knight Riders with four wickets.
  9. Ganguly missing Eden gardens and tailor made pitches there.
  10. There is a case of going back to the basics and have specialist openers for this IPL-2.
  11. Agarkar, the question his can he bowl without embarrassing his captain?
  12. Laxmi Ratan Shukla, well, he smacked a couple but was deceived by stupid and turning orthodox left arm spin.
  13. Laxman should read “For Dummies - How to run between the wickets?”
  14. But he need no master class in batting, the six off Ishant was very very special.
  15. Deccan Chargers are really in some different colour altogether.
  16. It is matter of time before Dada comes good atleast once, though he needs some soul searching to do, something he looked to be doing when facing Fidel.
  17. I think almost all team needs to fine tune their batting order, almost all have screwed up, but it is just one match.
  18. I think Harmeet Singh bowled well and impressed, look sgood but would do good to add pace.
  19. Where was Mushraffe Mortaza for Kolkatta Knight Riders?
  20. I think all of us viewers should enjoy what is happening rather than reminiscence on what has happened last year, this IPL is on, with a difference.
