Rohan495 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Adam Gilchrist led from the front to help the Deccan Chargers upstaged the fancied Chennai Super Kings but the humble Australian said he was only carrying forward the good work done by regular skipper VVS Laxman. Leading the side in absence of the injured Laxman, Gilchrist did not put a foot wrong in tonight`s IPL match against the MS Dhoni-led side. Gilchrist won the toss, marshalled his bowlers well to restrict the opponents to a modest total and then went on to top-score with the bat to guide the side to its second victory. No wonder he walked away with the man of the match award. In the post-match press conference, the Aussie, however, humility personified and said he was enjoying playing under Laxman. "He (Laxman) has put up a strong foundation and I am only carrying that good work," Gilchrist said. Though the win boosted the morale of the side that was at the bottom of the point chart, Gilchrist was not ready to get carried away.

More... I'm only carrying forward Laxman's good work: Gilly Agencies Posted online: Wednesday, May 07, 2008 at 0806 hrs IST Chennai, May 7: : Adam Gilchrist led from the front to help the Deccan Chargers upstaged the fancied Chennai Super Kings but the humble Australian said he was only carrying forward the good work done by regular skipper VVS Laxman. Leading the side in absence of the injured Laxman, Gilchrist did not put a foot wrong in Tuesday night's IPL match against the MS Dhoni-led side. Gilchrist won the toss, marshalled his bowlers well to restrict the opponents to a modest total and then went on to top-score with the bat to guide the side to its second victory. No wonder he walked away with the Man of the Match award. In the post-match press conference, the Aussie, however, humility personified and said he was enjoying playing under Laxman. "He (Laxman) has put up a strong foundation and I am only carrying that good work," Gilchrist said. Though the win boosted the morale of the side that was at the bottom of the point chart, Gilchrist was not ready to get carried away. "We are learning from our mistakes. We are not looking at the points table as I know we are at the bottom. We have improved a lot since our Bangalore match. We hope to continue our good showing in Jaipur too," he said. "We know we have the talent. But it does not guarantee victory. IPL is of international standard and each player has taken it seriously," he said. Gilchrist termed scheduling of matches as tight one. "We find it very difficult but we have to keep up our momentum despite the tight schedule. One has to keep the process of moving forward." The Aussie also praised Shahid Afridi for his all-round performance in Tuesday's match. "He fielded very well and took catches. I am sure he has got his momentum since having bowled well and batted in an explosive manner." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I know this may sound far-fetched, but assuming DC, BRC, KKR and MI are all eliminated before the semis and there's a good chance that might happen, does anyone here see the common thread between the 4 teams?

Rohan495 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 they need to make some good moves for next season. Possibly keep Gilly as captain and Laxman as Vice Captain. Maybe trade Gibbs and Afridi for some quality bowlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hiten. Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 They have all the good players YET they managed to fck up. Total waste of a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohan495 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 They have all the good players YET they managed to fck up. Total waste of a team. totally agreed. but its cardinal that good batting must be supported with good bowlers. and when the big names of the batting line up fail, they make hyderabad even more vulnerable.

Rohan495 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 this team needs a 200 score to defend' date=' not 130.[/quote'] thats exactly what im saying but due to the lack of form of key players such as Gibbs and Afridi Hyderabad is a gone cause because theres no way theyre going to get 200 plus scores.
