sarcastic 654 Report post Posted April 30, 2018 I am really surprised and should say very very impressed by the way DD has fought till the last over even though they were chasing a mammoth total and loosing wickets. They may be out of this IPL but they have most of the bases covered for having a very successful campaign next year. They just need to learn the knack of "not loosing" wickets in key times and build patnerships like "Vijay-Pant" one. I felt Prithvi's wicket, Munro's wicket and Shreyas's wicket were unnecessarily lost (i.e. gifted away to opposition). I can see Delhi going only way up from the current state. 2 beetle and Mariyam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

asterix 7,148 Report post Posted April 30, 2018 Before the match I said Doni will never like lose to a young upcoming player as captain. The way he was behaving at the end and was angry at Bravo, Show you the actual egoistic loser he is. You expect him to support young players in the team? There’s a reason why he’s compiled an old men’s club at CSK, so that he can boss over them and everybody suck him dry... Look at the way he was angry at Bravo for giving away runs because he wanted to win this match against a Young team to show his delusional fans how great he is... What would’ve happened if these young kids won? CSK is already at the top of the table. But that show his mean attitude towards young players, make no mistake... Never shown this passion for RPS though. He takes this Micky mouse tournament way too seriously as if he has to give some pleasure to those folks down South who nobody give any attention rest of the year. If only he showed the same passion in International matches for India... I’ve feeling that some team might still manage to poop in his party this year too... 1 5 velu, adi B, Unstable Joe and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one can anticipate if good players will fail Gambhir was selected as captain who has been gr8 in ipl as captain was expected to keep scoring decent runs n to lead the side well . But neither did the runs neither did the team click Cricket at the end is unpredictable game, how many of us expected gayle to do well or even ambati n raydu to have dream seasons?
