Anymore posts in here from now not to do with the IPL will be deleted. Good knock from Haydos this morning, I had a choice between him and Hussey and I choose Hussey Was a really poor bowling performance from both teams, although the outfield was quite damp so they have a bit of an excuse.

I agree Matt, except for the pitches. There was only 1 shotty pitch, plus, shotty pitches makes it interesting anyway!!

Laxman Captaincy Reminiscent of CPCC 16/17s at Plateau Park
If Deccan are serious about achieving anything in the IPL, they need to take a long hard look at the captain of their team. Not that this is needed, a simple quick glance at his failures of the first 2 games should have be enough, but apparently not, as he once again last night brilliantly captained his side to their 3rd straight loss. The side that, before the tournament, were favourites to take out the title are now stooping at the very bottom of the tournament table.
Last night Laxman made a number of blunders in organising his team. To start off with, Gilchrist and Symonds were constantly signalling to fielders, changing things around. Is this not the sort of stuff we expect is a disorganised park team? At times it was quite difficult to clearly see how was captaining the side, and when this is happening it is hard for any team to suceed.
Secondly he made a HUGE mistake in having too many fielders outside the circle. This could have been a direct result of having too many players trying to be captain, or it may have just been a big blunder by the actual captain himself. This cost his team a 2 runs plus an extra ball.
Moving on, the main reason that Deccan lost last night was the inept bowling changes. Shahid Afridi was just beginning to tie things down, when Symonds was brought back on at the other end just to get absolutely tonked and to get the run rate back on track again. Afridi came back and did the hard yards again to put Deccan into a winning position and with 1 over to go and 16 runs to get, with Warne and some singh guy at the crease, victory looked the most likely outcome. Laxman says, bah, lets make this interesting, and bring Symonds back on again! After bowling rubbish all tournament, the victory was put into his hands. Laxman opted against the bowlers Ojha and Kalyankrishna, who hadn't been to crash hot either, but had MUCH better figures than Symonds. Bang bang bang, Warney tonked Symonds and the Royals pulled it off.
Laxman must be dropped as captain, if not from the team all together, if Deccan are to suceed. Why wouldn't you have a quality Twenty20 player, with a huge amount of captaincy experience in Adam Gilchrist as skipper?

So he should step down them, Gilly is rightful Deccan captain.
Ojha and Kalyankrishna are in the team for there bowling, one of them had 1 over left the other had 2. Before the last over their figures were better than Symonds, they hadn't bowled THAT bad. I cant understand why one of them didn't get a chance.

its frustrating clearly laxmann is not a captain or even a 2020 player he should step down as captain and as a player.

Now Harbys in trouble for "striking" Sreesanth while the players were shaking hands after the match. Something needs to be done about this tool.

Misbah not playing for Bangalore!!! That all but confirms my betting victory. Especially with Watson with 2 wickets already. Warney's Rajastan look like they might have another victory on their hands here.
Good knock from Taylor (oh dear this will get Davo going) 44 off 19 balls!
