  • MSD....THE TRUE WARRIOR!!
It helps to stick to one team throughout. Today with CSK down at the middle stage and then turning the table like this! What a thriller !! CSK had said to have discovered the act of bringing shine to the ball after 15 overs, whcih they had initially forgotten, as per MSD. That move said to have clicked as masterpiece!
Is MSD Intellegent or Lucky? very tricky question.
But the simple question is, RD is a DUMB CAP. How can he think of Kallis ahead of Misbah? This is a typical 'senior preferred to junior' attitude by RD. THIS IS PRECISELY WHY I HATE RD FROM THE HEART. Apart from his slugginsh batting he is the one who kills the apetite of the budding players. When MSD came to limelight with a MOM vs Srilanka series in 2005 end and mainly by playing at no3; he was leterarly burried under the ground during next series vs england, where he got just one chance to excell at top order (when he scored 96 at jamshedpur when RD was not in team) rest all series he batted too lower down and that has made him habbitual to do so even now. Today if he would have come ahead of raina ie 5 more overs; he would have struck a ton and CSK had 200+! well that will not be far now as OZs leave.
And RD 000000.00000 was icing on cake!! ( but sometimes i feel he should have lasted 10/12 balls at least in both last inngs to generate more occassions of critism!)

brc lost a won mach today but dont feel that it was anything to do with captaincy.the team chosen ws keeping in mind the wicket and the help to fast bowlers,i think it is here the decision to play kallis and not misbah came from and frankly it was an ok decision though one can easliy slam it as we have  the benefit of retrospection.on the other hand in reality it was msd decision that was strange as he choose all fast bowlers and still decided ot bat on a helpful wicket and if brc had pulled out a victory this would have been a bad decision but then he bailed out because of brc.
overall if one is not too critical of brc then they did play to a plan though lost the plot in the end.also rd should have come earlier.he came bit too late when brc had lost a few quick wickets and him coming earlier might have stopped the rot,

Teams without icon-burden ...CSK and RR .. doing well. (DC not making VVS icon doesn't count.. he is still captaining the team.. which is a huge burden on the team).

Thats not entirely true. Delhi, calcutta and Mohali are doing OK.

But,Teams with Indian Coaches are sucking big time. Hyderbad, Mumbai and Bangalore.

BTW, this was an excellent 20-20 pitch. The fact that it had something for the bowlers made the game very interesting

To hasten the end!

I do not think playing Kallis ahead of Misbah -ul -haq was a bad decision . Infact with Kumble unavailable we just did not have more choices and played Kallis . Anyway Misbah will play from the next match onwards though losing Taylor is a bigger blow then I anticipated at the start of the tournament . Dravid should not bat at 7 . It will be better of if he reverts back to opening alongside a  suprisingly very good Jaffer. My choice for tomorrow's game would be Kumble (if fit), Shreevats Goswani/Devraj Patil , White and Misbah instead of Akhil,Taylor,Chipli and Boucher(give him a small break).

Its definitely difficult to drop a player of Kallis stature. But I guess BRC have to do it now. He is just not delivering.

true kallis should be dropped and yes rd should definately bat higher up.today's match could have been won had rd batted higher up say 4/5.but still feel lots left to play and it will get better.its after all a learning curve.

unfortunately RD still seems low on confidence. i do believe a good old season of county cricket in rural england with no idiots analyzing his every move is just the tonic that he needs.

You think our DG can't watch/analyze county cricket?  :nono:
Remember how every match SG played in county was being analyzed here when he was trying to come back.
