It is said that cricket is a game of uncertainities and T20 cricket makes this pronounced in the best possible way. Talking about thursday. This was perhaps the best day in IPL(including the 1st season). Two matches and what thrilling encounters. Both matches going down to the wire, infact one of them resulting in a tie!!!If the afternoon belonged to AB De Villiars, Nightshow was shared by Dada and pathan, after a steady bowling show by the Knighriders. AB De, as Mandira said on her show, made batting look like abcde!!! Talking of dada, he was simply awsome. Its really amazing, the way this man coducts himself. Thousand of controversies surrouding him still he delivers the best when out in the middle. As mentioned in one of my earlier post this IPL has been the hunting season for the oldies, so today was definately dada's day out!!! The concept of super over probably used for the first time in cricket was bizzaire. Division of points is certainly a better option. One positive for KKR from this match was the resurgence of Saurav Ganguly. The Royals have found a true slinger in kamran Khan. If Warne nurtures him properly(He certainly will), he will develop into a bright prospect for India in the near future.
Chennai were relly unlucky after losing the match from the position they were in at the half time(tactical break). It was heartening to see Delhi fight back. It was probably not Albie's day. Nothing he did went right. Wish him better luck in the future. All the teams have opened their account in the points table, with an exception of Punjab. Seeing the presnt condition its hard to predict the semi finalists. But one thing is certain. This is a no mercy game. Even slightest of errors may cost one a match. But whatever may be the case cricket should emerge as the true winner!!!

ReplyDeleteYousuf Pathan -really a champ in sixes. the decision of sending Mendis against an Indian Batsman is not a very wise decision..
