April 08, 2010 By: ab-admin Category: Cricket News, Highlights, IPL 2010 - IPL 3 No Comments →

Sourav Chatterjee Ganguly alias Dada alias Prince of Kolkata alias the God of the Offside, all of the adjectives were spelt out yesterday as Ganguly shined with the bat and in the field in crucial moments to stop the 4 match winning streak of Delhi daredevils.

Kolkata posted a healthy 181 for the loss of 3 wickets with Ganguly scoring a brisk 56 off 46 balls.Gayle(40),Matthews(46 unbeaten) and Tiwary(26 unbeaten) were the other contributors

Delhi started with a shock dismissal of warner for duck who scored an unbeaten century in their previous encounter at Delhi.Then came the favourite duo of Sehwag and Gambhir and put on 99 runs in 9.5 overs to make Delhi cruise to the victory target.

Dada once again came to the fore with a brilliant direct hit from mid off to dismiss Gambhir(47).Agarkar bowled a beauty to dismiss sehwag(64).Delhi lost the match by 14 runs as they scored 167 for the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs

Born Again CSK meets the Formidable Mumbai Indians

April 06, 2010 By: ab-admin Category: Cricket News, Highlights, IPL 2010 - IPL 3 No Comments →

CSK is all poised to face the toughest opponent of the IPL 2010 Mumbai Indians at their own backyard in Chennai on Tuesday.They would do well to get a victory here which would mean that their confidence would go rocket high and they can use that as a springboard for further victories and march to the semifinals.

On the otherhand all is not lost even with a defeat as they can still make the semifinals.CSK have finally got a pacy fast bowler in Doug Bollinger who hits the bat hard with his nagging line,length and bounce.Apart from Bollinger and Murali the rest of the CSK bowling attack have to come good to make a fight of any total they put in.

The batting would revolve around Vijay and Raina as well as Albie Morkel who does have good scores with the bat but looks pathetic with the ball.Dhoni and Hayden needs to come good in this crunch match.

On the Otherside Mumbai Indian have a strong support personnel in Ramji,Robin Singh,TA Sekar who knows the local conditions better and who would look to provide the nuances to the MI for victory in chepauk.And it is the favourite ground for the master blaster Sachin Tendulkar and he would look to once again play the way as many of his favourite innings at the Chepauk.Fingers crossed lets wait for this gruelling encounter at 8 PM

Dada Comes good finally at the Eden Gardens

April 02, 2010 By: ab-admin Category: Highlights, IPL 2010 - IPL 3 No Comments →

Kolkata won their first match of the second round against the Deccan chargers by 24 runs.As Mentioned in those previous articles that its high time, the prince of kolkata had to come good with the bat in their next 2 matches or else he himself needs to take the hard decision,he has replied his harsh criticism in the best possible way by talking with a bat and scoring a rapid 54 ball 88 which included nine boundaries and five sixes.

It was the look of old scenario where Ganguly invariably dances down the track to the spinners to hit over long on,long off or deep midwicket.He does with aplomb even after out of the competitive ODI matches for 3 long years.But still critics would point to his running between the wickets as he let go lots of opportunities to take quick singles or twos.

Deccan Chargers seems to, getting into a no man land where they are the only team in this IPL which nobody can say that they are in form or out of form.They seem to do well most of the things but they cant finish the job well begun in both batting and bowling departments.Gilchrist seems more content in playing cameos or getting out early and he need to put a pause to this pattern which might let the plain old habits creep into you unknowingly.

Gibbs with a 50 and Symonds making 45 was seemingly keeping the match under control in their chase taking the score to 121 in the 15th over but Shane Bond proved his worth in the 15th over of the innings giving away 5 runs and dismissing Gibbs.Then Rohit sharma immediately followed and Andrew Symonds could not force the pace afterwards.

KKR have made a good start to the second half of the tournament and with more matches in their home ground in the second phase,they seem to provide a sense of optimism just as Chennai did against Bangalore

Delhi downs Kolkata as Warner blasts century

March 30, 2010 By: ab-admin Category: Cricket News, Highlights, IPL 2010 - IPL 3 No Comments →

Delhi moves up the ladder to the fourth place by winning hands down against kolkata who looked all at sea when they were chasing a target of 177 runs.The Man who at one stage of the career,in the early part of the decade was one of the top batsman giving his fight to Sachin and Ponting in One day Internationals,the Prince of kolkata Sourav Ganguly looked completely out of place facing the pacy Dirk Nannes.He is doing more harm to his reputation than ever by figuring in this competitive IPL and that too holding the captaincy.
Throughout the series,Kolkata have won three out of the seven games but the losses have been compounded by the fact that their batters have never been able to get out the shell.The matches they won were also a combination of bowling brilliance and some ordinary batting.Even in the Opening match,it was Angelo matthews heroics down the order and with the ball saw them home.The Captain needs to get his act swiftly and need to make a tough decision after a couple of matches,if the trend carries this way.
Meanwhile Delhi displayed a classical way of coming back into the contest after losing 3 wickets in first 3 overs.Warner  and collingwood started slowly to build a partnership and then it was all blasting which took them to a score of 177 which is on par with a score of 220 for the team batting second in that pitch.Everybody would be longing to see the kind of catch David Hussey took to dismiss Collingwood as it is a combination of athleticism,agility and presence of mind.It was a sureshot six and the way he caught in the air put it inside the boundary and dived inside to take it looked awesome to see realtime.Kolkata never looked in the hunt and they have to take a hard look at their batting order as sending in the raw and untested Mandeep singh at Number 3 does not look a great idea.
