After some initial sputtering and stuttering DD virtually had a vertical take off to occupy the pole position until Sehwag's delhi mate, Gambhir brought him to ground.In fact so far DD had easy outings and the match against KKR was the first real test for Sehwag in the current IPL which he failed miserably.With KP gone, a unreliable Mahela and an unpredictable Sehwag DD yet again doesn't instil confidence to lift the IPL trophy.KKR on the other hand led from the front by Gamghir appears better placed.The strength of KKR is their bowling attack affording Gambhir the luxury of experimentation to give chance even to his tentative delhi buddies.However the battintg still appears to be a bit of a worry for KKR with mostly Gambhir alone firing so far.
What else can u say of this guy who shoots of his mouth more than his bat.I remember ,he was bragging that he will score first double hundred in ODIs immediately after he scored his first triple hundred in Pak.After that he lost his form & place in the team and had to eat humble pie.But guys like him never change,look at his stats in the last 2 years he averages less than 20,and few knocks in this galli cricket and he is back to his arrogant self.
Many players in this ipl have played blinders than what sehwag has done..none of his knock can be compared to that of devillers knock against hyd.Devillers is more dangerous than this guy but he never underrated the opponents. Sehwag does not have the pressure by opening the innings as compared to that of de villers.High time he respects the opponents and starts being humble
It is pathetic to see the likes of Dhoni and Sehwag speaking English in presentations...they should stick to Hindi like Pakistanis if they are not fluent in English...it looks like Sehwag is speaking in Haryanvi when he speaks English while Dhoni is a typical Hindi-belter with pathetic slang in his words...Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Rahul Dravid etc are good speakers of English...back to city boys in Cricket...

They are not taking class of English. See their game and comment. After all English is not our Mother Tongue.

MainhoonDon wants english speaking people not cricketers to play cricket....
This guy either does not know English or he wants to purposely speak nonsense to attract attention. How can he say this against the best bowler seen in IPL so far? This just shows Sehwag is plain jealous of KKR team and that his Delhi partner is having a good time captaining the team while he himself does not have a resource like Narine in his side. And Sehwag learnt lesson for dropping wicket-taking Agarkar. If Morkel is neutralized, there is nothing else in Delhi bowling.

RR is doubtful of reaching d play-offs. They r facing stiff competition from CSK, RCB
actually viru's english is poor, that is why what he meant regarding his smashing narain has been misunderstood. both dhoni & sehwag are rapidex learners of english,they fumble for the right word & are misunderstood.

Dhone has become dhongi, under the garb of coolness he is indifferent, whether his team wins or looses. Any fool would have given last over to Jadeja when he had bowled excellent 18th over, it required genious of Dhoni to hand over ball to Helfinfaux who bowled lollipops to D Smith, also during the match Bravo was bowling 100% short lenght bowl on off side of the batsman allowing even out of form Sachin and mediocre Rohit Sharma to hit 4's and 6's while our captain cool continued with Bravo, any dumb captain in his place would not have fared worse.

Wow, nowadays blaming has become a fashion for our people. If a person says you are a fool, say that someone else is also a fool instead of accepting the truth. This is in reference to Sunil Vaidya telling about England & Australia being home tigers :) Om Shanti is speaking about the deteriorating quality of our players, while Vaidya is pointing fingers at someone else..... Good man, you are the right person to succeed Cement Bag Srinivasan :)
But Yes, BCCI should never change our tracks to pace just because we lost abroad. But they should provide training to our players on lively tracks but stick to testing the visitors with spin tracks.......

do these countries like england, australia, sa prepare turning tracks...no! they are scared...they get all defenseive and go for the home advantage and prepare fast tracks... of course that also does not always work as we saw when we won against australia after the monkey-gate test as also in sa when sreesanth destroyed them and in the last tour also in the 2nd test our pacers played well and even their preparing fast track boomranged...
