The name Pune Warriors need to be changed and the sponsor also should be changed . It should be "Pune Chickens" sponsored by Venky's Chicken , the Pune based company. This team who are all chickens when it comes to matches against any team including Deccan needs to be beaten in all their remaining matches. they don;t deserve to win. Saurav ganguly should not be taken into the team any more. He is the decelerator of the team . Like Steyn has been unfortunate to be part of Deccan Team, Steve Smith is unfortunate in being part of this Chickens team.

As there is no second chance for a batsman, if he judged out wrongly, umpires decision should be reviewed. If a bowler bowl a full toss and struck six he can bowled the batsman in the next ball as he has many chances. In a critical match like yesterday between PWI and KKR , Smith was clearly not out as ball struck a thick edge at bat, but Umpire Tarapore gave him out. Smith may or may not win the match but what is the quality of Umpiring in such a big tournament? In yesterdays match clearly Tarapore was the villain who is responsible for PWI loss. In fact if Billy Bowden would be the umpire, Smith definitely would not be out. This is the quality of Indian umpire, nobody is in elite panel of ICC. In such a money oriented tournament like IPL and so called honesty of Indian Umpires there must be DRS to challenge umpires decision. We have watched previously many Indian and Pakistani Umpires decision in favor of own country and may be here in IPL some provincial or influence by higher or for some other personal benefit as we Indians are very much honest and there is no match fixing here! Anna should be exiled.
Also there is no champions luck with PWI as they are loosing marginally. Agaist KKR they gave 12 runs from no and wide, Dinda dropped a catch, Clarke out unluckily, Manhas played a childish shot to out, Smith out by wrong decision of Umpire. In previous matches Nehra gave 24 runs in last over, Daily Uthhappa missing catches and stampings, batted slow in a match(60 from

58), Ganguly batted slow in some, moreover Sahara is the main villain not to take part in the auction and all key players were taken by other teams. As a captain is as good as his team, what more Ganguly can do, due to his shrewd captaincy and team performance PWI win some matches and also he perform well against DD, but to qualify for semi captaincy will not be enough, it needs performance from full team. When Ganguly was in KKR in 2010 he and Gayle was the highest scorer , due to coach Bukanon with his multiple captain theory KKR was loosing , if SRK was so confident why did not he kept the same team with Bukanon except Ganguly and show winning performance. Some politics was there to not included them in any team which they proved afterwards.
please replace Dhoni with Gambhir at the earliest. He is a fighter and can lead India much better than Dhoni in test cricket. Day by day. Am becoming a big fan of Gambhir. Moreover his thinking and English speaking skills is modern too unlike small towner Dhoni.
