CSK vs DD, IPL 2014

-
 Today, its time for CSK vs DD
Hope all the Monday work is rested by this entertaining match!

   The CSK ( Chennai Super Kings). 
Not a good start to their campaign, but if u know when Chennai starts their first match with a loss, they comeback beautifully in the tournament. Concerns about D. Bravo's availability in todays game will give a chance to Samuel Badree. He should have played the last match too, Perhaps he would have got Maxwell out early as he did in the WT20. Bowling did not impress last time around, many fielding errors, cost them the match last time. Ashish Nehra should be replaced by Ishwar Pandey. And if Bravo's not playing, Samuel Badree should be played instead of a batsman. Loss of Bravo is huge of Chennai. He bowls yorkers at the death and can bat deep down and score useful runs. CSK will be hoping he is all right and ready to go today. The fielding needs to ameliorate quick time. Dhoni has to keep his best fielders at the right place.
Bravo, Raina are some fantastic fielders in their side. Last time around, Suresh Raina did not get the chance to express himself, he is the player to watch out for CSK.
Playing eleven-
1. D. Smith
2. B. Mcculum
3. S. Raina
4. M. Dhoni (c) (wk)
5. D. Bravo (if he is fit) or B. Aparijith
6. F. Du Plessis
7. R. Jadeja
8. R. Ashwin
9. S. Badree (if bravo is not playing)
10. I. Pandey
11. Mohit Sharma


  The DD ( Delhi Daredevils). Last match, a big win for them with the help of the Double D's (Dinesh and Duminy). Duminy is in his form of life. If KP comes in today, DD will have a good batting line up. Ross Taylor hasn't looked to his best, but given the opportunity and the situation, this guy can strike form. The firs match was a pressure one for Karthik, suddenly given the captaincy because of KP's injury, Karthik looked in trouble in all sorts. DD will be hoping that KP recovers quickly and is fit to play today's match. They need to get their bowling right. Tough in this format, but bowling has to be perfect. One change can be made is that Q. de Kock may be given an opportunity in place of Ross Taylor. If KP's comes in today, they need to get one foreign player out. For me, it will be Neesham who should sit.
With Q. de kock or ross taylor, Duminy, KP and Coulter Nile should be the players.
The player to watch out for is KP
Playing eleven-
1. M. Vijay
2. M. Agarwal
3. K.Pietersen (c)
3. R. Taylor
4. JP. Duminy
5. D. Karthik (wk)
6. M. Tiwary
7. K. Jadhav
8. N. Coulter Nile
9. R. Sharma
10. M. Shami
11. S. Nadeem

Head to head:

Mighty hash - The end of the road

                                                                       Picure credits: www.bbc.com The last week or so has been tough as an avid follower of the sport. First, Dale Steyn announced his retirement from Test cricket, and not so long after Hashim Amla announced his retirement from all forms of the game. These two have impacted and served South Africa cricket for a lot of years and their contribution has been immense to the standing of South Africa in international cricket today Hashim Amla, born in Surat, India - the "Mighty Hash" as they call him went on to become a legend in the sport playing cricket for South Africa. They say numbers don't lie and it is true in Hashim Amla's case. He's the second highest run scorer for South Africa in Tests, behind Jacques Kallis, with 9282 runs in ...

Sachin Tendulkar vs. Steve Smith

                                                                  Picture Credits: www.ibtimes.co.in I've been a huge Sachin Tendulkar fan for years and still am, so much so that I've argued with my friends, family, fought with them and I can't listen to anything against Sachin Tendulkar. In the end, he's the God. In fact, he's the reason why I started watching cricket in the first place. As a batsman and as a person, he has been inspiring generations after generations. On the other hand, there's a boy from Australia who comes up to the international arena and believed by many as the next Shane Warne and a few years later is being regarded as the next Sir Donald Bradman. He's Steve Smith, who with his unorthodox style of batting has taken the world of cricket by storm. The Ashes 2019 belonged to him and it's not th...

MI vs SRH, IPL 2014

-
  Today, is the battle of the two teams lying at the bottom. While the SRH have managed to win at least 1, the MI, the defending champions are winless so far in the tournament.   The MI (Mumbai Indians) . Poor from the start. Poor at the auctions. Ponting is the advisor for the team, Sachin is the icon for the team, Anil kumble the mentor. Time for these guys to come up and give a motivational speech as SRK did in Chak de India. Today, is their chance to get a win against the vulnerable looking SRH. They tried doing things differently in the last match. Rohit Sharma opened the innings and I liked it. M. Hussey is completely out of form. With, Lendl Simmons is returning for injured Jalaj Saxena, I guess MI should play him or Ben Dunk, the Australian dasher in place of Mike Hussey. But, given the sub continent conditions, I will go with Lendl Simmons. Bowling is also a big concern for them. Lasith Malinga hasn't looked so good, its because of the batting, Bowlers are coming und...
