Such a typical Viru dismissal. An upset here would hurt Delhi badly.

Gambhir taking RP to the cleaners.

Domestic cricket here isn't popular by any definition (crowds, TV audiences, word of mouth). Hasn't been truly popular since the crowds flocked to see Bradman in the 30s. I could be living in a different country though.

You're not, it really isn't popular and people who think it is are kidding themselves.

Oh and this pitch looks a belter right now. With due to play a factor I reckon the Chargers can win even if they have to get 180.

 

[Arjun]

Part-time tripe continues. Why Gilchrist even bothers giving the ball to Venu, I don't know.

One more on the list of part-timers taken to the cleaners.

 

[Arjun]

Dilshan tries to run over the superior arm of Gilchrist, yet again...

...and gets run-out, yet again.

 

[sunilreddy]

Yet another fifty for RP Singh!

 

[Arjun]

Asif is not far behind...I wonder how many picked him in their CFG teams...

One more selection that backfired is Sehwag- and it pinches, when he was in the running for Orange Cap not too long ago. Not to mention AB de Villiers.

Awesome last over by Mishra. Top win by the Daredevils.

 

[silentstriker]

Haha yea - crazy hat trick that could only happen in these circumstances.

 

[unccricket]

deccan chargers seriously need to retool their squad if they are going to be any good:

only gilly, rohit sharma, venugopal rao, and to a lesser extent RP singh and VVS laxman deserve to be in the team.

time to scout england, south africa, and australian domestic comps for new blood. people like hershelle gibbs, vaas, and styris shouldn't be considered.

Mallya's meddling leaves Challengers hobbled

Unfortunately? Is Mallya suggesting that he was better equipped than Dravid to select a side? Things may not have gone Bangalore's way for a variety of reasons, but Dravid has forgotten more about cricket than Mallya and his number-crunchers, some of whom have allegedly been sitting in on team meetings, will ever know.

Shaun Marsh and Rohit Sharma have been so awesome to watch during this tournament. Brilliant cricket strokes, hitting through the line, very stylish, yet effective. (You can say the same for Watson too but I don't like him cos he's annoying)

 

[Jonty Lathwal]

gr8 bowling by mishra.........

by far most valuable for daredevils..........

 

[Jonty Lathwal]

sehwag continuing his gr8 form.............


2 ducks in a row..........

Agreed. Although Rohit seems to be finding new ways to get himself out. When he doesn't try to be over elaborate it looks impossible to get him out.

And loving Gautam ever since the T20 in South Africa. That first pull for six was soooo awesome and he's running away with the orange cap now.

More impressive if the batsman at the top of run-scorers wears the cap while batting.

 

[Manee]

I am really liking the look of Amit Mishra, he seems like a most impressive leg spinner. His control of flight and spin is impressive.

Looks a good player. Him and Piyush for Kumble's spot once he steps down will be a good battle. Both can handle the bat too.

And following in the footsteps of Cricket Australia the PCB have announced that they are planning a possible Pakistan Premier League
