flamy Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Nah no one cares abt VVS even in Hyderabad. Sure, maybe he is Telugu, but hey, even I don't support him in LOIs. He is just nor right for this format. And yes, no ball for not having enough fielders in the circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumper Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Initially when i didnt know about the "4 international players only" rule, I thought DCs had the best team in the league. The four player limit infact makes them one of the most unbalanced sides in the league. Deccan chargers have quite a few problems. 1) A captain who has to play, but cant contribute 2) Five mediocre Indian players (Rohit Sharma & RPS being exceptions) 3) Limited bowling options. To me, (2) is Deccan charger's biggest issue. Other sides that have done well in the tournament so far have match winners among the seven Indian players. DCs unfortunately dont have this luxury. Rohit Sharma is good, but with Symonds, Gilly in the squad, his role is more of innings building than match winning. The lesser players of DC are so mediocre that they dilute the value of their stars, even when they fire. Venu Gopal Rao, Laxman, Bangar & Arjun Yadav are utter cr@p for this format of the game. Unless the IPL revises the regulation on the no. of international players, DCs will continue to struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umpire Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 wtf has Arjun Yadav done in first class cricket that he has been selected over million other cricketers. His father now has stand in his name? WTF is Shivlal Yadav's contribution to hyderabad cricket. He is reason they lost out on outstanding talent in Rayadu. Arjun Yadav does not give strike to Symonds in last over. Symonds wud have scored more runs than him. Hyderabad is doomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vroomfondel Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 balance will change once the aussies have to go home...then styris can come in for symonds. but i don't see how gibbs is going to get a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs comes in for Symonds - hes a better batsman than Styris (we need good batsmen rather than a team of allrounders) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rohan495 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Very wrong to accuse him of bad captaincy, he was more unlucky than everything. Atleast he made some good captaincy moves to bring Deccan Chargers in the hunt for a win, too bad they lost, and its fair to say they lack one more class bowler, they should of really went after guys like Praveen Kumar, would have solved all the woes.

flamy Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 He should have given the last over to Ojha, who would have turned the ball away from the right-handed Warne, and who after all is more of a bowler than Symonds. However, when the two Aussies leave, it will be a blessing in disguise, as then you can play Styris, who I believe is MVP for the team. Also, Laxman should come as late as possible to bat.

flamy Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 My bad. - Symonds + Styris is great though, just drop Yadav/Bangar and bring in Ravi Teja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rohan495 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 this would be my team: Gilchrist Gibbs Afridi Symonds Laxman Sharma Ravi Teja Bangar RP Singh Ohja Kalyankrishna (Yea i would give him another chance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohan495 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 i think he messed up when he selected himself in the final XI .. he shouldnt be playing t20 period dont quite agree with that, i think Laxman would be a good twenty20 player, but i think captaincy is affecting his game.

flamy Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 but do you understand flamy when i say they lack one more quality bowler? Of course, they lack a quality bowler, but they can get replacements for th players that are unavailable for the rest of the season right? Kings XI Punjab Brett Lee, Simon Katich and Kyle Mills will leave India on April 28. Lee's absence will really hit them hard, considering they don't have a foreign player of such class in the squad. Either VRV Singh, the Indian Test bowler, or the Under-19 bowler Ajitesh Argal will have to step up unless, Tom Moody, the coach, decides to pick an Australian domestic player. Mills is yet to play in a game and though, Katich did play the first game, he is not known for big hitting and his absence won't leave a hole. http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ipl/content/story/347487.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohan495 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 He is without any doubt ' date='he has no idea what is going on.[/quote'] yea thats why his captaincy almost brought a victory out of no where if it wasnt for that dropped catch that ruined all the momentum.

Guest Hiten. Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Laxman cannot be blamed for this loss. Laxman, bowled his prime bowlers in a bid to finish off the innings. Unfortunately for him, symonds didn't bring his experience while bowling the last over. Even a mediocre bowler like jogi knows how to bowl in an final over. Symonds bowled totally rubbish line and length in that final over. I am still pinching myself to know how can a bowler hit Symo for 6,4,6 to finish off the game :hmmmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
