IPL 1st Semi: Delhi Daredevils v Deccan Chargers

[aussie1st]

Delhi Daredevils v Deccan Chargers at Centurion

 

[nikhil_99]

Sehwag played a good last inngs of 50 against MI,if he bats the same way in semis,it will be difficult ofr any team,DC have also strong line up...should be a very good game...cant wait for it...

 

[SaiSrini]

Any team can win this game. On form throughout the tournament, Delhi should probably win it although Deccan are strong enough with guys like Gilchrist, Symonds, Gibbs, Rohit, etc.

I take a punt on Deccan to shock Delhi here.

 

[Cricketman]

Delhi's going to wipe the floor with these guys.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Both teams had a great start in the tournament, but then declined. The openers of Delhi are a problem for their team, although they did well in the last match.

 

[leftarmlegspin]

Surprised David Warner was dropped so quickly. He did well, and to change a batting unit that was very effective was strange.

The IPL fixtures are really unscientific. Both these teams have played a match yesterday. Which means, again two matches in two consecutive days. : Wow! That again a very important event like semi-final. The players are humans, Mr Lalt Modi. : No gap between the last league match and the semi final- what sort of crap is this?

'modi-'fied crap!

I guess DC is going to shock Delhi! Lets see what happens!

 

[King Cricket]

^ Nah. Delhi clearly has the upper hand. DC's batting is too much top order oriented. Now, the big Q is, will McGrath play in this match?

Nope I guess.They will stick with Nannes I beleive.

 

[vickyrox]

i want deccan to win... this match

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Nope I guess.They will stick with Nannes I beleive.

Why won't they just get over with the (I-Was-Hit-For-Runs-Short-Balls-Now!) Nannes! Yeah he has some pace, but pace isn't everything unless its too fast!

Ofcourse I want Delhi to win, but what scares me are Gilly and Symonds from the Deccan lineup. These two guys.

I guess its only fit if Delhi bats second, the likes of De Villiers and Dilshan know how to strategically carry out a run chase.

 

[naresh091]

Yup Delhi are the best run chasers in the competition imo.Dilshan (though I hate him) is in good touch and is consistent for some time now.Same is the case with Devilliers.Hes picking the gaps with precision.Viru and Gauti have shown some glimpses of form in the last game.Guys like Gauti,Dilshan and Karthik perform better than normal conditions when they know the target.
I support Delhi today.:banana2

 

[shantellehynes]

Definitely…Deccan Chargers going to rock in the 1st semifinal against Devils, Gilli, symo, sharma, Gibbs, RP should do better for that.

 

[naresh091]

Delhi are real fools to bench Mcgrath for so long.He isnt happy either.
I may not return next year:Mcgrath
