why is VVS giving away singles?

He can win only by taking wickets

Bad judgement on KKR's part...they shud have realized that to blow the chargers, half of their team is good enuf, leave aside doctoring the pitch...go sulk

I think he was expecting the match to go 20 overs and would have used Vaas for that(Not that his record is great in the final over anyway)

i think 2 things happened

1. Symo lost kool , gave away 20 in 2
2. Lax didnt put enough fielders in circle and gave away at least 5 singles in last 3 overs ....that would have turned the wheels on

but Hussey ...hats off to you

Yes.. poor captaincy..
1. Not bowling RS/VR offspin..even AS offspin
2. Should have brought in PO earlier.
3. Setting fields defending boundaries rather than taking wickets
4. ..and what did he do in the last few overs.. the field setting was ridiculous

Rams - who is from Hyderabad - has been saying that he has a good captain's brain. Frankly, I am disappointed. Maybe he had a bad day. 20-20 is a match of 1-2 overs here or there.. each mistake/good decision you make gets magnified!!

It's a difficult pitch to do good captaincy....and low scoring matches can go either way..................but I thought....bringing Vaas( 3 ov 9 runs 2 wiks) instead of spinner Ojha would have been better.................to imagine that the match would go to the 20th over is funny.

It felt very nice to see Symonds being foxed while batting..........he had to scratch and generally scrap around...................even in bowling 2 overs 20 runs isn't commensurate with his top billing.

Ponting had to sober down quite a bit........what, in the company of Wriddhiman Prashanto Saha.....Ashoke Dinda, David Hussey....and all............and 2 low scoring innings to the hilt!
Sometimes he forgets that he isn't the captain...keeps clapping!

VVS is right: Ref
Farokh Engineer endorses Laxman's views on shocking Eden track

By: A Correspondent

MATCH referee Farokh Engineer had no qualms in agreeing with Deccan Chargers' skipper VVS Laxman that the Eden Gardens wicket on which his side lost their DLF Indian Premier League opener was a poor one. "I agree with Laxman. It was not a good track," Engineer told MiD DAY from his hotel room in Kolkata last night.
"It was not a good pitch for any form of the game. It was a shocking wicket. In the Twenty20 format you expect high scores. Though the match became exciting in the end, it was tough for the batsmen to go for shots," Laxman told reporters after the five-wicket loss to Kolkata Knight Riders.
"Twenty20 cricket is all about strokes and you need tracks which will help strokeplay," Engineer said. "However, it was the same pitch for both teams and a disadvantage to both. Also, no one got seriously injured. But yes, we don't want to see a pitch like this is in the remainder of the tournament"
Yesterday's match was disrupted for a while when the floodlights went off due to a power snag. "We checked the Duckworth Lewis system and it was even stevens but it would have probably end up in a bowl-out," said Engineer.
Laxman felt the interruption affected his team's rhythm.
"The interruption definitely affected us. The momentum was towards us. And the bowlers were in great rhythm. But having said that, I must say that the bowlers were in great rhythm when play resumed," the Hyderabadi said.
His team could not stop Kolkata Knight Riders, who were helped immensely by David Hussey's 38. On Saturday, his brother Michael slammed a 54-ball 116 for Chennai Super Kings against Punjab Kings in Mohali.
"I like fast, bouncy wickets better. I thought there will be more bounce, more pace in the wicket," David said.
Hussey admitted the power-cut was good for his side. "It was a good break for us. We got to collect our thoughts, have a drink and re-adjust our game plans and that probably worked in our favour."
Brief scores
Deccan Chargers 110 all out in 18.4 overs (AC Gilchrist 23, A Symonds 32, YV Rao 14; Ajit Agarkar 2-19, M.Kartik 3-17) lost to Kolkata Knight Riders 112 for five in 19 overs (SC Ganguly 14, DJ Hussey 38; C Vaas 2-9, PP Ojha 2-18) by five wickets.

Two hurt during Kolkata Knight Riders-Deccan Chargers match

Kolkata (PTI): In two separate incidents, two persons were injured during the Indian Premier League match between the Kolkata Knight Riders and Deccan Chargers here at Eden Gardens on Sunday, police said.

Bablu Kamat, 32, suffered injury in the upper portion of his left eye when a ball from the bat of Andrew Symonds of Deccan Charges hit him at the stands.

"The injury of the person was serious and he has been rushed to the hospital. He is being treated there," Additional Commissioner of Police (I), Subrata Narayan Sarkar said.

In another accident, a person fell from the stands when he was trying to lean and see Bollywood star and the owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders, Shah Rukh Khan.

"At around 4.15 pm in the evening, Md Selim, 38, a resident of Topsia in North Kolkata injured his legs when he fell from the stands. He has been immediately rushed to Calcutta National Medical College," Sarkar said.

However, police said Selim had no fracture and he was discharged after treatment.
