More IPL 2010 Highlights

Deccan Chargers seems to getting back into their rhythm after defeating Chennai Super Kings in the last match. Last year champions started the season by loosing against the Kolkata Kniggt Riders but it seems like their batsman are back in action. The trio Gilchrist, Gibbs and Symmonds are explosive batsman and they coming back in action means tough times for the opposition. Chaminda Vaas also getting back and performed quite well in the last match. SO the chargers are really charged up to give Punjab a tough fight,

Kings XI Punjab have already lost their last 2 matches in the season and now they can’t loose any more games. Bowling have been a major loophole for them because of which skipper Sangakkara is having sleepless nights. Brett Lee the leas pace attack of Punjab is missing the action and the stand in bowlers Sreesanth and Irfan Pathan are not living upto the level. Their batting was quite well in the last match but they need their bowlers to back them as well.

IPL 2010 Highlights, Results….

Delhi Daredevils have started the series quite brilliantly until the last match where Mumbai Indians thrashed them by winning the match by 98 runs. Bowling was very week in the last match and even though they have best batting order they were not able to fire up. Skipper Gambhir already got himself injured and was not able to play the match, and is also doubtful for the game against the Chennai.

Chennai Super Kings on the other hand started off the season by loosing the match against last year defending champions Deccan Chargers but came back well by winning against the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last match. Skipper MS Dhoni was injured in the last match and he will be out of action for 10 days. Suresh Raina will be the stand in captain for the next few games. Chennai needs to play well from here to get them to the top notch.

IPL 2010 Highlights, Results….

Australia have a wonderful season back home where they won 5 test and drawn one and now will be looking to continue the same momentum here in New Zealand as well. The series has been very exciting irght from the start of T20 games. Aussies won the ODI series but it was not an easy one for them.

New Zealand have played well so far in the series despite loosing the ODI series. They have some good batsman and bowlers to give Aussies a tough fight in the 2-match test series starting here at Wellington. New Zealand might be missing retired Shane Bond and Ian O’Brian but they players like Chris Martin, Daryl Tuffey, Tim Southee and Daniel Vettori top handle the bowling department. It will be testing time for players like Tim McIntosh, BJ Watling and Peter Ingram, for whom success against Aussies will guarantee them long lasting career in international cricket.

Vada Pav vs Dili Chaat!

Mumbai has picked up some good cheap batsmen in the middle order. Raidu is a Test class batsman, and Tiwary also looks good. Their wicketkeeper Tare bats a bit like Karthik.  Add to that Bravo or Pollard and its a formidable middle order. With Zaheer and Malinga being very reliable, Delhi would probably need a special innings from one of their top order batsmen to overcome Mumbai.

This is a very delicious contest… dont miss out on this.
