straight.drive Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 This is looking like a nightmare of a season for us. It is pretty difficult to reach semifinals with this form and points. What has gone wrong? a) Letting away Rohit sharma was a mistake. Do not know who took this half baked decision What was the logic behind hiring the super useless christian :mad: c) Too many specialist bowlers. 4 specialist bowlers in a T20 game is little too much. d) I have no idea why Leeman is still being put as a coach here. Excellence in season 2 and 3 is more due to rohit, Symo and Gilly. e) DC should have gone flat out for all-rounders in the auction. The current team has just Christian, and he looks like crap.

yoda Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 They have taken over from KKR for the most dumb headed management. They should have retained Gilly and Symonds I believe. BTW Rohit may not have wanted to be retained given the possibility to going back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight.drive Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 ^^ The management is definitely dumb. But the bidding strategy is decided by the coach, and leeman has proved that he is good of being a drinking buddy of pwnting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straight.drive Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 ^^ Yeah...but there is pretty much nothing can be done. This painful performance would continue for next 2 season's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Poor team. Even the very best combination of DC can't do much. First local batting talents are very ordinary. There are not many T20 specialists in their line up. White is grossly out of form. Christian is just okay. ON the positive side you can win with this team as they have decent bowling attack.

Holysmoke Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Relax. They just look so bad because they were playing MI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straight.drive Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 And one more point is that our wicket keeper batsman is not a aggressive slogger. He is just a touch batsman suited for test cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not a good T20 player. Strike rate of 119 is poor. Not like DHoni has better :cantstop: . But Dhoni can simply explode in a way that Sanga can never.

NareshK Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 The bowling looks very good but the batting lineup is really pathetic. Last time around, they had a poor bowling attack. DC management can never seem to get the balance right. Only Pietersen can partly revive this team. But he is nursing his injury back in England. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight.drive Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 ^^ and add to that..they did not sign any replacement. Calypso would have been ideal...:finger: to DC management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girishk14 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 1. Team looked very strong with Sanga, Steyn, White and KP - But a miserably out of form white, injured KP, useless steyn on indian pitches, and an overloaded Sanga (cos of a non-existent top order before him) has really destroyed the team. 2. No back up bowlers, Ishant and Christian are very prone to having bad days, and there is no good back up for them - bring in rusty theron. He would have leaked 5 runs in last two overs, unlike Christian n co who leaked 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kabira Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Decent bowling attack. Good spinners in Mishra and Ojha. They have poor batting with Chipli, Sohel, Teja...They should have kept Rohit atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gult Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 The few good local players are playing for other teams.. Venu, Suman, Rayudu and Laxman. They should have tried hard to retain these players. **** DC. I'm not supporting DC this season because they think we are idiots and expect us to support their stupid decisions. And what is ravi teja doing at that position.. he is an opener and should be given a chance to open.. he is struggling at No.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tekno Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Rayudu did not play for Deccan last time. He played for Mumbai. Laxman has not been that effective for them in the past, he was benched. They need to open with Sangakarra and have Christian at #4 for starters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
