************ IPL Season 3 Part (3) ************

looking at the scorecard, none of the middle and low order b'men had given little partnership to rohit...

Avanai thookkittu andha thandam Azhar Bilakhia-vai select panni irukkanga. Enakku therinju avan oru match kooda ozhunga aadunadhu illa. And he has a terrific strike rate - 82.7 Banging Head

RR winning the gaame was actually good for CSK.... It now reduces the competition... Instead of 5 teams fighting for 2 spots it now becomes 4 teams fighting for 2 spots.... Out of which if we dont consider KKR, then it becomes 3 teams fighting for 2 spots... Makes it easy for CSK on what they need to do...
From: Kalyasi on Mon Apr 5 22:37:14 2010.

Nethikku it was really bad that Rohit's effort was in vain... Poor chap... Though he doesn't deserve to be in the T20 squad, the innings he played was a real good one... What the heck was RP doing when 4 runs were required of 4 balls? He wanted to become a hero or what? So silly... Dont you give your players clear instructions on what to do when it was run a ball required...

and somehow i dont feel RR has it in them to win a lot of games on the trot.. DC is capable of that, good they are out... and even if RR comes into semis in the place of RCB good

KXIP gone case. very very tuf for DC. KKR *might* have a chance if Mc Cull plays.. MI and DD are confirmed, b/w CSK, RR and RCB now and RCB looks favorites amongst RR and them coz of their batting

From: sankara70 on Tue Apr 6 1:41:31 2010.

Yesterday's win by SW's team was an example of leadership skills

RR hav not lost any match defending 150

What a record.

Having given 20 runs by Watson in the first over and also as many runs in the 19th over, still manage to give only 115 runs in 18 overs, that too many young players is something unique.

Hats off SW
From: Plum on Tue Apr 6 3:21:14 2010.

Glad to see Gilly Dawk(ubayam bala) humbled.

I dont like Warne and I want to rubbish him but the man's simply giving no room.

That said, I dont like these dog fights that Rajasthan end up winning. As usual, it was opposition errors that made it possible for RR to win. Contrast with the wins of DDD, CSK and MI and even RCB, where they shut out the opposition with their talent.
To modify NOV's signature

"Do not get into a Dog Fight with Dogs. They'll beat you by sheer experience".

Teams need to have self-belief that if they play to potential, then Rajasthan can be f***ed royally.

But annoyingly, there are signs of another magic run for Rajasthan to victory in the tournament.

Malinga to Hayden, SIX, I thought it was a mis-hit but it has sailed over long-on. It was the slower one outside off stump, Hayden leaned forward and at the last moment, decided to sort of flick it on the up. Flick of the wrist and the ball sails over all the way. Incredible.

From: Plum on Wed Apr 7 7:46:16 2010.

How much ever I despise Rajasthan Royals for their tenacity, it is this tenacity that no other team has exhibited as consistently. Much as I am unhappy about it, that is the single reason for their success rate.
I cant remember too many instances where a team broke the dominance of the other team during the day as Rajasthan did today. Even if I do, it all involves them as the team fighting back.

That said:

IPL needs a Federer who can combine aesthetics with tenacity. A combo of DDD/CSK/Sachin and RR is what I want. One more year of RR winning it through sheer tenacity will kill interest. I hope Modi is reading this

Sreesanth - the man who wears his heart on his sleeve - sarcastically claps back at the umpire after the free-hit went for a 4. Dom Cork on air says, that kind of behavior is just not on. Sree even had a go at Lumb, then Yuvi came down to him and told him to calm down. But the question is will he change??

8.5

Pathan to Lumb, FOUR, no respect for Irfan here, walks down the pitch again, and flicks him over midwicket, just a chip shot! He does not feel there is any risk involved in walking down to him, and strange to see the keeper has not come up

8.4

Pathan to Lumb, no run, slower ball, beats him outside off

8.3

Pathan to Lumb, FOUR, pick-up shot, nearly drop-kicks it, walks down again, gets a leg-side half-volley, and flicks it over short fine

yup, sarcasm is the right word, Sehwag did the same kinda behaviour during IPL-1 against deccan IIRC,he even talked regarding that after the match. something like "the same people cheered me when i hit boundaries for India.

Sreesanth fined for Conduct breach
Jaipur, April 7 (IBNS): Kings XI Punjab�s S Sreesanth has been fined for breaching the DLF Indian Premier League�s (IPL) Code of Conduct during his team�s match against the Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur tonight (Wednesday).

Sreesanth pleaded guilty to a Level 1 offence (Article 2.1.3), which relates to �showing dissent at an umpire�s decision�.

The incident took place in the third over of the Rajasthan Royals innings when Sreesanth was twice no-balled while bowling.

As a result, Match Referee Srinivas Venkataraghavan fined Sreesanth 20% percent (US$9,000) of his match fee.

Vinod,
I've met many native Maharashtrians who were against Sachin (mainly 2003-2004).

Any particular (political) reason ?

Quote:

Bayangara sandai ellam nadakkum. I think he has the biggest support base in TN (relative-a paatha).

From my school days I have never seen an anti sachin gang.

I have also come across marathis who dont rate sachin very high and on the other hand their rating about vinod kambli was very high

Gilchrist thanks his flexible friend

Bengaluru: Deccan Chargers captain Adam Gilchrist�s decision to pushed Tirumalasetti Suman up the batting order paid dividends against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday. Suman was promoted from his usual six or seven position to number three, from where he smashed 78 from 57 balls to steer his team to victory. Here is the DC media interaction after the match.

Excerpts:

Suman on his willingness to bat wherever his team needs him: I don�t feel only opening the innings [suits me]� I like any position that the team requires, team interest is what comes first.

Gilchrist then took centre stage in the press conference, starting with the tactic of moving Suman up to number three: It was what we planned. Su (Suman), last year and this year batted in a variety of positions for us and that�s great, he�s quite a flexible player. As we saw tonight he�s got a nice power game when required, but he also has a nice touch at other times too, so, whatever is required. I thought he paced [his innings] beautifully and really thought about his batting tonight.

On the win: Yes, it�s nice to have a win, as I said out in that post-match presentation, that I think we sort of improved about 90% of our game too. The batting was well-paced and obviously to perfection by the end. The bowling, 90% of the bowling was fantastic and then we fell into a little hole, we had the fall. So we [have] still got things to work on but [this is] no doubt a much more pleasing result than what we�ve had in the previous five games.

On whether he thought the game would slip away with Rohit Sharma�s fall: No, no, I felt on that ground, anything was possible. We�ve watched with interest Bangalore chase, I think, 200 against Kings XI. The way Suman was playing - his intent and the way he was hitting the ball - he thought about his batting and, you know, (Andrew) Symonds and Mitchell Marsh and Venu (Venugopal Rao) in the shed, I felt it was still achievable, particularly given how their innings went. It was always going to be a little bit difficult against the new ball on that pitch, but then a flood of runs were always a potential at the end of the innings.

On DC�s semi-final prospects: Semi-final prospects, haha, we will slow down a little bit, we�ll just savour a win tonight. And obviously we�ve got a hard road as a result of the disappointments of the previous couple of weeks, so we will just refocus after this. We�ve got Chennai in two days time so it�s a busy little schedule for us. But we�ve just got to break it down a little bit, we won�t sit back tonight and start talking semi-finals again all of a sudden. We�ll just start talking about what we did well tonight and Chennai coming up on Saturday.

On having such a difficult schedule (having three home bases of Navi Mumbai, Nagpur and Cuttack): Yes, It has been difficult, I think it has had an effect on the players - just general travel tiredness, it does grind and wear you down a bit. Up to this point I wouldn�t put it down to a reason why we�ve lost matches in the last five games. We don�t like to use tiredness as an excuse - our motto is that there is no such thing as tiredness, but it is difficult, there is no doubt about it. And it�s something we�ll all sit down with the IPL at the end and consider what the options may be if ever that situation arises again and obviously we, as a franchise, will learn from this too. Because I don�t know intricate detail, whether we could have had one city as a base or what the details were. But, yes, it�s been difficult.

On whether he feels he is back to his best (after a 19-ball 32): Yeah, it was good to stay there (in the middle) a bit longer, but whether I get, you know, 30 off a dozen balls or 30 off 20 or 25, it�s not about that individual result, it�s the impact that it has on the game. Sometimes 30 off 12 balls is perfect, some days it�s a bit longer or a bit slower. So I felt�we lost an early wicket so it was good to get that partnership going and that�s what we�ve lacked, partnerships. And Su (Suman) was batting with such great intent, that I was happy to play second fiddle to him for a little while.

On conceding so many runs in the last five overs (77): Oh, no doubt, it�s a concern - something we need to keep ticking over in our mind and looking at ways we can improve on it. I guess we have got to take into account tonight, if you look at their last five overs, I wouldn�t have thought they went for quite as many as us, but it may be similar. So it was obviously that sort of wicket tonight, tough early but a flood of runs at the end. But, yeah, it has been a common threat for us, particularly in those losses. It was evident in some of those wins early on in the tournament, we are still leaking a bit too much at the end.

On his favourite super hero: I�d have to say, on behalf of my son, a character called Ben 10. He�s A grade, he can be about 10 different things at once - it�s modern day. Obviously I would think Superman, but for my son I�ll say Ben 10.

Kumble down but not out

Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Anil Kumble was a dejected man as he faced the media after a second successive loss, this time at the hands of the Deccan Chargers. Despite the latest setback he remains confident of a swift turnaround. Here's more from his interaction with the media.

Excerpts:

On the reason behind the loss after posting 184 on the board: We needed wickets consistently on this pitch. We knew the wicket would play better as the game progressed, we needed wickets to keep the run-rate down and unfortunately we did not get that. Post the 12, 13-over mark we never got a wicket. Having said that, I thought 184 was certainly defendable.

On his team�s chances of making it to the semis: Yeah, I think it was the same last year as well. I guess we are used to this and we need to pull up our socks and ensure that we start winning from here on. It�s not been good in the last four or five games, as a bowling unit I don�t think we have done enough. But I think all the three departments need to come good for us to start clicking.

On dropping Kevin Pietersen: I think when we look at the balance of the team, this was a good balanced team. It�s tough when you have the quality that we have with people like Kevin Pietersen and Mark Boucher [left out], it�s never easy. I mean, Roelof van der Merwe has done exceptionally well for us as well. So it�s very difficult when you have seven or eight players like that and you have to choose only four. Very difficult but I thought whatever team we put out on the park was probably the best team for these conditions. Unfortunately we did not deliver today.

On the team delivering on faster wickets than slower, like the one used today: Yeah, I mean, on this pitch we had the same bowling unit which has delivered in the last four games, so it was one of those things where probably it was slightly sticky when we started batting. It took a bit of time for our batters to get used to it and that�s the reason why we maybe did not get enough runs in the first part of our innings. But, having said that, we finished really well and I thought 184 was defendable and we need to start looking at how we can get better in the bowling department.

On Virat Kohli�s performance � the perfect finish by him (58 off 35 balls): Yeah, he has certainly improved. He�s done well as a player. He has got the confidence now, since he�s more or less a regular member of the Indian team. So I think being a part of the Indian team certainly helps. The international exposure and the quality that he has, he can certainly deliver and today he showed what a quality player he is. And that's probably the positive part from this game but, having said that, we need to start doing really well in all the three departments of the game.

On discussing responsibilities within the team: The side definitely knows what the responsibility is and we were in a similar position last year as well where we had to win every game, every day. So it�s not any different this year and, you know, one day's break and you again come back and try and do your best and hopefully the result will be in our favour.

On this loss not being a big worry, since RCB can still make it to the semis: No, when you lose it�s definitely a worry. You need to try and put together a good winning combination and, unfortunately, we have not been consistent in the last three or four games. So that certainly is a worry. But, having said that, you can�t really sit and brood. You have just one day to re-group and ensure that whatever team you select will certainly deliver. So [I am] hoping that that will happen on the 10th (against KKR).

On not having any plans for Tirumalasetti Suman (who hit 78 not out for DC): He hasn�t probably got the runs this season, something which you don�t expect. But then, having said that, if a player bats at number three then you expect he�s probably their main player. So he did bat really well. We got (Adam) Gilchrist out reasonably early and we knew that he was a dangerman. But then we knew that Rohit Sharma and Andrew Symonds [were also dangermen]. We also got Rohit Sharma today but Suman and Symonds saw them through.

Good observation.
From: steveaustin on Fri Apr 9 22:15:12 2010.

Turning point of the match was Tendulkar's dismissal. I am extremely surpised to see Tendulkar, who is an outstanding player of legspin had fallen thrice to Piyush Chawla so far. Earlier Chawla burst into fame by getting Tendulkar's wicket in the challengers series. Now in this IPL, he has taken Tendulkar's wicket twice. On both occasions, Tendulkar misread Chawla which is too rare considering Tendulkar's immense talent. It reminded me that the Pakistan leggie Mushtaq Ahmed's googlies against Tendulkar in the early 90s. Finally, it was an outstanding spell of Chawla made the difference.

But we cannot compare him with Alu since Alu is a lazy fellow. But I think this fellow is too quick but error of judgement cost him his wicket. After playing so many international matches, his judgement is not good as far as running between wickets and judging the opponents. Sometimes, I think that he underestimates his opposition because of which he is gifting his wicket.

Quote:

Who says the good folks at the IPL have no sense of humour? Following in the tradition of the famous April Fools' pranks played every year by the Times, the BBC and Google, the IPL has admitted to pulling off the greatest April Fools' joke of all time - the Kolkata Knight Riders' victory against the Deccan Chargers on the - you guessed it - 1st of April.
Apparently the entire match was a carefully planned gag intended to fool millions of TV viewers. Those watching on TV were under the impression that Kolkata won the toss, elected to bat, and posted a strong 181, powered by 88 from Sourav Ganguly and helped by a useful 31 from David Hussey. They then restricted Deccan to 157, aided by some economical bowling by Angelo Mathews, Murali Kartik and Ajit Agarkar (the last one should have been a dead giveaway, but nobody spotted it).
However, what actually happened was much more believable. Ganguly began by hitting three consecutive sixes off Andrew Symonds before retiring hurt due to an itchy toe, and Deccan finally won a thriller when Y Venugopal Rao switched into "Nagarjuna Mode" and took 67 runs off the final over from Agarkar. Kolkata owner Shah Rukh Khan also managed to strike his famous "I'm really upset but I'm still smiling" expression, where he manages to align his eyebrows at an angle of approximately 43 degrees to his eerily twisted upper lip.
"Hahahaha. If people are willing to believe that KKR can beat DC, they'll believe anything," said a pleased-as-punch Lalit Modi, the brains behind the joke. "The IPL has always been fantastic at fooling lots of people," he gloated, before immediately regretting his words and looking around shiftily.
Meanwhile, the rumours regarding the present owners of the beleaguered Kings XI Punjab franchise have gathered new steam with whispers regarding the identity of another potential buyer - World Wrestling Entertainment owner Vince McMahon. Apparently, Mr McMahon believes the IPL shares many qualities he admires in pro-wrestling, such as a love of crass commercialism, priority for cheesy entertainment over actual sport, and TV presenters who act as if they're about to explode with pointless excitement.
"I love the IPL. It's not that different from the WWE, really - it's got great entertainment, the fans aren't annoyingly bright, and it's completely free from interference from those pesky guys at WADA. Plus, it makes bundles of money for the guy who owns it, right?" asked Mr McMahon, flashing a "thumbs-up" sign in a manner reminiscent of Country Club chairman Mr Y Rajeev Reddy.
"I think we should give the team owners and players cool catchphrases, and sell action figures and videogames based on them. How cool would that be?" he said, revealing his plans for the future. Apparently designs are already in place for an action figure of Matthew Hayden that says, "I'm going to cook your (mon)goose!", one of Yuvraj Singh that constantly grows larger and sulkier, and one of Kieron Pollard that does absolutely nothing.
The Delhi Daredevils are also rumoured to be on the lookout for buyers, but are clear that they do not want to change the "DD" brand name. Among the interested parties are India's national broadcaster, Doordarshan, and a mysterious individual known only as Devangshu Datta.

Gambhir nose-cries about Delhi pitch. Whose fault is it that his batsmen didnt understand what is a fighting total in their own home ground? You know it is slow and low, so why did you choose to throw away wickets indiscriminately instead of taking singles and twos and putting together 130-140 instead of aiming for 200?

Infact, if you use it well, that special quality of the pitch can be an advantage to you. Instead, you are whining about it.

Indian Premier League

ICC rules out window for IPL

Cricinfo staff

April 12, 2010

The ICC has ruled out creating a separate window in the FTP for lucrative domestic leagues like the IPL, despite increasing calls for the game's governing body to figure out a way to allow players to participate without disrupting their international commitments.

"We don't envisage a separate window for a domestic event like the IPL," Haroon Lorgat, the ICC's CEO, said in New Delhi at the unveiling of the ICC World Twenty20 trophy. "We cannot incorporate all domestic events into the FTP. It is just not possible as there would be implications for all other member boards."

Players from Australia, New Zealand and West Indies had to miss the first few games of the IPL this season as they were busy playing for their countries. Australia and New Zealand were involved in a bilateral series and the players couldn't reach India before April 1. Former Australian wicketkeeper and captain of Deccan Chargers, Adam Gilchrist, was the latest to join the chorus for an IPL window, pointing to the financial rewards for the players.

Commenting on the Twenty20-heavy calendar, Lorgat said he wasn't too concerned about possible player burnout once players assemble in the West Indies for the World Twenty20. The tournament begins on April 30, just five days after the conclusion of the six-week IPL. He pointed to the success of last year's World Twenty20 in England, which followed just after the IPL.

"The World Cup in England last year came immediately after the IPL. But it was extremely successful. We saw a full house at all the venues. I think the IPL is a great forerunner to the World Cup," he said. "Players are in Twenty20 mode and we are hopeful of an equally successful World Cup this time around."

The World Twenty20 is supposed to be held once every two years, but the fact that this edition follows barely a year after the previous one is an anomaly, which the ICC is trying to fix. "The fact that it is the third T20 World Cup in four years is a bit of an anomaly," Lorgat said. "We are trying to rectify the scheduling and set it right."

He also brushed aside concerns that the popularity of Twenty20 will overshadow that for Tests and ODIs. "Its popularity has gone beyond expectations but other formats are also popular. There was a lot of negativity around the other formats, but in the last 12-18 months we have seen some fascinating 50-over games," Lorgat said. "When (India's) Sachin Tendulkar scored 200, most people were of the view that 50-overs cricket would definitely survive."

Nerd, I said I was wary of Rogith because he is a matchwinner in ipl and I don't want dc to qualify for semis - last time also they qualified on the basis of rogith knocks and gilly walked away with all credit. If they enter semis nowan they'll end up winning the tournament or finals and gilly will get undue credit agaqin.

Kumble regrets missed opportunity

Nagpur: Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Anil Kumble did not mince words when speaking to the media after the loss at the hands of Deccan Chargers. Here's more from his interaction with the media.

Excerpts:

On the defeat:

It was just a matter of pressure building, possibly. They (RCB batsmen) could have probably selected better strokes. But I thought, this was a game which was in our hands and we just let things go by.

On playing Jacques Kallis and his approach:

It�s just that he gives you that option of bowling option. But he won us a couple of games. Today he did get stuck (27 off 37 balls). He should have probably gone after the bowling in the first six overs, which didn�t happen. But, you know, it�s just one of those days where he should have moved on. That really put pressure on the guys coming in. And it�s not every day that someone like Robin (Uthappa) can see you through.

On whether Rahul Dravid could have accelerated:

I don�t think so. If he plays properly, people say he is too mild and he is not aggressive. Probably he was the one who gave us the initiative in the first six overs, after losing a wicket off the first ball. He gave us a start, he was the one who was instrumental in putting us on course. And it was just unfortunate that he got out, possibly at the wrong time. But then there was a lot of overs, lot of good batsmen to come through as well. Really disappointing that we were not able to finish.

On inconsistency, a win followed by a loss:

I think that�s definitely a worry, when you have done well in the previous game and you win. And you come here and then Dale Steyn runs in, charges in and then picks up three wickets early on. Then, you restrict Deccan Chargers to 150 on a good wicket. It did get slow but then, you know, it was gettable. And you�re on course till the ninth-10th over, and then you just fell apart. It certainly disappoints the way we have played in the last couple of games.

On whether the big ground made a difference:

It does, the boundaries are big. When you have eight runs an over, nine runs an over, it doesn�t really matter whether the ground is big or small. You still need to play good cricketing shots if you want to clear the boundary. You can�t say that if this match was at Bangalore, then a couple of catches which [they] took on the boundary line would have gone for six. You can�t really talk like that. I mean, you have enough quality and experience in that middle-order that we have. I am sure they have all played in different grounds, probably bigger sizes. And they have won games. It�s just that today they bowled well. Deccan Chargers did bowl well. But we probably allowed them a bit in the middle overs.

On whether scheduling affected the team:

Nothing of that sort will happen. I mean, players are responsible and they know their responsibility. And it�s not that�you are not playing matches back to back. IPL is all about that. And I don�t think that�s a reason. I don�t want to give that as an excuse. It�s just that we didn�t play sensibly in those last seven overs. That was probably the cause for our loss.

Shashi Tharoor hits back at Lalit Modi

The controversy over the Kochi IPL team continues with Shashi Tharoor hitting back at Lalit Modi and accusing him of pressuring the Rendezvous-led consortium to abandon their bid for the Kochi IPL team. This comes after IPL Commissioner Modi had not only publicly disclosed the names of some of the owners of the consortium that bought the franchisee for $333 million but has also alleged that he was told by Tharoor not to ask who these shareholders were.

Modi's startling claim assumed significance since at the heart of the controversy is the reported 19% stake owned by Sunanda Pushkar in the 25% free equity owned by Rendezvous Sports World Pvt Ltd, the company that led the consortium that finally won the team. The value of Pushkar's stake is $15.82 million (about Rs 70 crore).

Pushkar is known to be close to Tharoor who, in fact, has been seen introducing her in social circles as his 'fiancee'. Currently married - and in the process of separation - Tharoor had earlier said he only offered encouragement, blessings and expert advice to the Kochi bidders.

In a statement released, Tharoor denied Modi's allegation that he called him during his meeting with investors in the Kochi consortium in Bangalore on Saturday night in order to press him not to question the composition of the consortium.

He explained his involvement in the bid by stating, "A consortium led by Rendezvous was set up to bid for an IPL team. They approached me for help and guidance. I steered them towards Kerala. Rendezvous includes a number of people, including many I have never met, and Sunanda Pushkar, whom I know well."

He added, "I called Mr. Modi to ask why he was further delaying the approval of the franchise when all the legal requirements had been fulfilled. Mr. Modi had held up approval by the IPL of the franchisee agreement earlier in the day, by insisting on the reversal of a change in the document that he himself had earlier suggested. This change was made, the consortium members flew to Bangalore and met with Mr. Modi after that nights IPL game for what they had been told would be a routine exercise. Instead they were submitted to a barrage of questions which led some to suspect that Mr. Modi was seeking a further excuse to delay approval. This was the reason for my intervention with Mr. Modi. Had he conducted himself in good faith throughout, no call would have been necessary."

On the question of Tharoor's interests in the franchise he adds, "I repeat that I am proud to have helped the consortium come to Kerala. I have neither invested nor received a rupee for my mentorship of the team. Whatever my personal relationships with any of the consortium members, I do not intend to benefit in any way financially from my association with the team now or at a later stage."

"A Kerala IPL team is a dream of many young people in and from the state. It has the potential to bring great material and psychological benefits to Kerala's economy and society. The unethical efforts that have been made by Mr. Modi and others to thwart the Kerala franchise which had been won fair and square in a transparent bidding process are disgraceful. It has been clear for some time that the real motive is to assign this IPL team elsewhere than Kerala. All of us in Kerala hope that the BCCI will not permit statements and activities which seek to discredit the Kerala team before it has even had a chance to prove its worth. The public attempts by Mr. Modi to besmirch the consortium in fact bring the IPL itself into disrepute," his statement reads.

Also, Tharoor's aide Jacob Joseph tweeted on Lalit Modi and the controversy. Jacob has posted a news report link on Modi's past drug offense in the US. Before that he tweets on how Lalit Modi's brother-in-law is co-owner of Rajasthan Royals, while Gaurav Burman, Modi's step son-in-law is a co-owner of Punjab franchise.

The e-mail trail between the BCCI and Lalit Modi exposes what exactly transpired between Modi and Tharoor. Modi in his email to BCCI Chief Shashank Manohar clearly states it was Tharoor who called him and instructed him not to reveal identities of the stakeholders of Kochi IPL franchisee. He also alleged that the Kochi franchisee has "a lot to hide and as such have lied about who is the actual owner of the shares (in the consortium that bought the team)."

The trigger for Modi's email was a complaint by Vivek Venugopal, co-owner of Kochi franchisee on behalf of all the consortium partners, seeking Manohar's intervention into what he termed as "a serious breach of trust" on the part of Modi.

The BCCI in return told Modi he was at fault for breaching code of conduct by revealing names on a public networking site.

'Our batsmen are finding their rhythm'

Mumbai: The best way to find out about a team�s strategy is by speaking to its coach. And especially for a team that is to face the table-toppers after having lost to the cellar-dwellers of the league.

Delhi Daredevils, still smarting from their loss to Kings XI Punjab at home, take on the in-form Mumbai Indians. But their coach Greg Shipperd is cool as cucumber and unperturbed by the opposition. He is completely focused on only improving his team�s performance.

Speaking at a pre-match media interaction, Shipperd stressed on the importance of playing at one�s best no matter who the opposition is.

Asked about facing a side that has already qualified for the semis, the DD coach responded, �We are certainly the ones desperate to make the semi-finals. Obviously, Mumbai will be relaxed in their mind having qualified already. But knowing that they are a professional outfit they would not like to take their foot off the pedal and would like to continue to build momentum towards the finals. It is up to us to play our best game of cricket against them and hopefully that will be good enough to achieve a win.�

Coming off a batting collapse at home, the coach rubbished the idea that the cave-in had been due to complacency over facing the bottom placed team. He instead attributed the loss to the nature of the Kotla wicket. He felt that since the season was nearing its end the wicket was getting slow and tired.

He, though refused to use the wicket as an excuse for the loss, and said that they could not complain about the pitch since they had three straight wins on the same pitch, not long back.

The Daredevils ranks are likely to be bolstered by the possible return of their pace spearhead Dirk Nannes and middle-order batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan both of whom had been out with injuries.

Shipperd refuted the media�s claims of the two overseas players being part of the playing XI against Mumbai Indians.

He clarified, �Dirk is having his first serious ball in the nets after quite a couple of weeks now so we think he won�t available for this game, but hopefully for the Chennai game that his finger would have healed sufficiently. He had quite a deep flesh wound which required stitches and required some time to heal so he should be all right by the Chennai game.�

When asked about when Dilshan was expected to join the team, he had a quick reply, �He is flying into Mumbai today, so I hope he has got the all clear on all of his medical issues and we look forward to having him back in the squad and available to us with the last couple of games, [as they are] going to be very important for us.�

Ending on a positive note, Shipperd was nonchalant about facing any opposition. The coach asserted, �It makes no difference to me what the other team is thinking. It is important what our team is thinking and unfortunately in our last couple of games our batsmen haven�t really got the job done for us. So, we will be hoping that our batters can fire in the game tomorrow.�

Gilchrist content as a team player

Nagpur: Deccan Chargers skipper Adam Gilchrist knows his side is on a roll, and so was a contented man as he fronted the media after their latest victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Excerpts:

On the win: Yeah, look, all the way through I had felt that total (151) was defendable. We had experienced a couple of awkward run-chases in the previous two games. But you never felt like, wow, here�s a small total, you are going to cruise here. It�s a difficult wicket to play the big shots on. I wasn�t disappointed to bat first. That�s the third time that wicket was being used. So it was always going to be very difficult by the end of the third game. So, all credit to our batsmen to get us to that total from the position we were in. And then the boys came out and did a great job [in the field]. So there was nothing specific in the time-out talk. It was just trying to work out what will be the next best move.

On the turning point: You ask a lot of turning point�don�t you? (laughs). Look�there�s not one key moment in a game. There�s not one. There are lots of key moments. There are lots of different guys that contribute. But, obviously, there�s a standout performer. Harmeet was just outstanding in those tight situations, where it�s evenly balanced. You look for someone to come in and make an impact. Pragyan Ojha was brilliant again. Harmeet in particular came on in a difficult pressure situation and did it beautifully.

On his form with the bat (Gilchrist was dismissed for a first-ball 0 on Monday): No, look, that�s the beautiful thing about this game�as I said out there. Where else can you get out first ball that you faced and still come into a changing room and feel so happy and thrilled to be in a team sport. That�s what team sports are all about and that�s what we promote in our team - enjoy the successes with each other and you support each other through the lows. So�I actually said to myself this morning...I was thinking about it - I thought I would take a duck as long as we win. I didn�t think (laughs)�it would be a first ball duck. But anyway (laughs)�you take everything in your stride. As I said the other night, I have played enough cricket to worry about�wondering whether how I am going..it�s still more about the whole group. We are still alive in the tournament and that�s a great feeling.

On the Indian players doing well: Yeah, definitely. As I [have] said a few times, we don�t look at our team as Indian or Non-Indian. It�s just everyone in there playing for the Deccan Chargers. We will leave it to everyone else to assess whether the overseas guys have done their job or the Indians. But It doesn�t matter. At the end of the day it is two points, a win. Sometimes�it has been a journey�it has been a good journey this year and last year. And we don�t sit back and analyse who did what as long as the team�s getting there. We have had a run where we weren�t getting the job done. So we have all looked at what we were doing and now�we have had a good little run of wins. So we will continue to look at what we are doing well.

On the spirit in the camp: I guess it has brought it out in us as a group. And there is still room for improvement, that�s an exciting thing. Obviously I haven�t contributed and that�s something I will continue to work on, there�s no denying that I haven�t contributed well with the bat. And there are other little areas that we will continue to think we can get better [in]. But it is improving, the last three games we have got better and better and better. We have got a little bit of a feel and the spirit is continuing to flow. And that�s what you use to get yourself up each time, it�s the spirit within the group. There�s no other option, we have just got to keep winning. There should not�there shouldn�t be any lack of intensity because just the fact that we have got to win is enough to motivate.

On the possibility of batting down the order: No, I haven�t no. No�look I got a pretty good delivery today. When you nick one like that, first ball..It�s sort of out of your control a bit. Nicked one..the other night against Chennai�No doubt the last half of the tournament�I have not scored the runs I would like to. But I will keep working at it. I will have the faith that I can contribute to the team at some stage.

On the spinners doing well: Yeah, you are right. I mean, they have bowled well and they have used the conditions well. That said, a bloke that bowls 150 kilometres an hour had a very big impact on the game today in the opening spell that was outstanding (Dale Steyn). I think whatever you are doing with the ball, at whatever pace, you have got to put it in the right spot, the correct spot. On these wickets, the margin for error is very small. So that�s been the difference I think. The guys that have taken the pace off the ball and the spinners have been able to be accurate with their delivery. It�s the medium-pacers and quicks who have just erred on the full side or short side, they are getting really taxed by the batsmen, particularly on smaller grounds. I have been particularly thrilled to play on a full-sized ground. It brings the cricket skills really back into play. The mishits don�t go for six. I think it adds another dimension to the game of Twenty20 cricket. I would encourage it wherever it�s possible to have a full-sized boundary.

On playing away games, at a new venue (Dharamsala) and on the Delhi wicket: No�I don�t know..we haven�t been there. I haven�t seen either wicket. I have played at the Kotla ground before and I have watched on TV that will be�it�s a little difficult pitch, obviously, to play on. But it�s the same for both teams. I can�t really comment on that, until I get there. As far as them being away games, we have had a dozen of them already (laughs).

On whether the batsmen are dictating the use of spinners: No�no, I think it�s more the wickets. The wickets are responding well to that sort of bowling. And that�s why the bowlers are going that way. Guys like Shane Bond or Jacques Kallis even..or any of the quick bowlers can all bowl at 145, but they are choosing to take the pace off the ball a lot. The guys that bowl generally at 138-135 are choosing to bowl the majority of their balls at 120 and 125. It�s just sensible cricket in these conditions. I don�t think it�s so much the batsmen licking their lips and thinking that they are going to have a field day (laughs).

Harmeet shows nerves of steel

Man-of-the-Match Harmeet Singh was a happy man after his major role in Deccan�s win. With 18 runs needed from 12 balls, the seamer took two wickets for one run in the penultimate over to swing the game decisively.

On bowling the 19th over: I was like�I knew that I have bowled three overs and one over was left for me. I had in my mind that the captain�s going to call me to bowl the 19th over. I was already prepared. He (Robin Uthappa) was hitting the quick balls very well, so I thought�to go for the slower balls to him and it worked.

On his variation: It�s just another slower ball, reduce the pace of the ball and try to use the variations.

Sachin was little frustrated few times, but didn't over react. The only thing he did in anger was throwing the ball down after taking a catch.

yeah that was coz he had dropped one earlier layaa? thts perfectly fine Smile

MI have shown us the way - Ross Taylor

So far Ive enjoyed every moment of the IPL,albeit I would have liked a few more runs. I've really appreciated the interaction with Indian and overseas players and the crowds have been fantastic. I have sampled plenty of local dishes;my favourite is chicken tikka and dal.So far a great tournament.

Naturally,we were hugely disappointed to lose to Deccan Chargers in Nagpur on Monday night. I felt our preparation for the match was really good,but it was disappointing to be on the losing side. Royal Challengers started off well in the match by getting early breakthroughs from Dale Steyn with three wickets and a run out! But Rohit Sharma played a tremendous innings to bail his team out of trouble.His innings ensured the Chargers stayed on track.

On the other hand,a winning target of 152 was very much achievable. Despite losing Manish Pandey early,both Jacques Kallis and Rahul Dravid held the Challengers innings together.Robin Uthappa also played a good innings.But we came up short.

I dont want to blame the pitch for what happened in the middle.The Nagpur track was a tough one to start with,but later on it was good to play on,so we can't complain about it. It was our batting effort that ultimately let us down.I was disappointed with my dismissal but I'm looking at the next game against Royals.

With a few games still left in the league phase,the pressure is on us to deliver,and we are ready for it. We know Rajasthan Royals are a very competitive side on their home turf,but Mumbai Indians have already shown the way by beating them there. We hope to do the same. Its been tough for us to lose close matches,but as professionals,we are expected to leave behind the disappointment.

In the game against RR, Sachin asked Sathish to run a non-run and sacrifice his wicket, if you remember.

There was a run here. Pietersen was half the pitch up, and couldn't turn back. Since the throw was going to near-end, he could safely reach there.

Swearing at team mate is wrong, yes. But it's alright to be pissed in this situation. I saw Dhoni do some major bollocking to Tyagi (and of course didn't use F-words while he was mighty pissed against Badri in that run out situation - I'm sure the unmentionables were flowing inside) in one of the recent games.

Of course, I hate Pietersen. KP = Dharidharam IMHO..

Much as I dislike Kohli, he is entitled to feel aggrieved today.
The context was different but even if it was exactly the same, the gap in talent between sachin and sathish >>>>> gap between kp and kohli. So, without prejudice, sathish should sacrifice his wicket ten out of ten times to tendulkar irrespective of context.

Though its a wrong call from Pietersen, Kohli should have sacrificed his wicket for Pietersen. Because the percentage of winning chance is more with Pietersen at crease than Kohli. And also Bangalore already experienced its tail end players failure in last match and lost miserably. If Sachin was in Pietersen condition, we would be bashing Kohli.

but the results so far we witnessed were totally unpredictable. Bangalore badly needs a win as well as a high run rate too. And what Pietersen done in just 29 balls is simply an extraordinary effort. At this point of important time, each decimal increase of run rate is more important to find a decent place in Semis. வெற்றியை எட்டும் வரையில் Kohli களத்தில் நின்றிருந்தால் கூட நன்றாக இருந்திருக்கும்.

18 to win from 50 balls ie 8.2 overs.

Kohli nudged the ball took just one step and signalled kp to stay there but kp was busy just running. I mean he was just running and didnt even look at his partner. If kp had stayed there he could have very well waited for the next over and finished with 7 overs to spare. His hasty running has costed bangalore a good run rate.

There was absolutely no need for that run. Kohli was right in standing his ground.

Feddy,
KP came on after Kallis got out very early, and started firing from the first ball. As you said he scored 62 of just 29 balls. The pitch wasn't particular easy for batsmen. It was a vital innings in more ways than one. The batsmen in the other end weren't middling the ball at all.

When you say,"18 to win from 50 balls ie 8.2 overs." Shouldn't you consider it was KP who contributed much to it, and shortened the NRR. If you negate his score and balls faced, it's 80 from 79 balls.

From: kid-glove on Wed Apr 14 17:37:02 2010.

I was just using an example of Sachin-Sathish for MI against RR. Sathish, in good spirt, ran under command by Sachin (who came half-way down the pitch already). As Feddy and plum have said, it's Sachin we are talking about (and Sathish worships him like any Indian) and the context also varies (especially agree that the gap between Sachin-Sathish is far greater than KP-Kohli).

I have nothing against Sachin just as I have no bias whatsoever for KP. In fact, I think KP brings bad fortune to all the teams he has played in. He's one of the worst captains in International and IPL history. He's also one of the most self-indulgent players in England, gets routinely bashed for his prima-donna personality. But wanted to give a fair assessment of the situation.

Besides of course, I was watching with Bangalore supporters. They were badmouthing Kohli like anything. And of course, I hate Kohli too (maybe more than KP)
From: ajithfederer on Wed Apr 14 17:46:12 2010.

KP's contribution was match-winning. No second thoughts. Kohli was batting on 10 off 4 balls. The 5th ball KP was runout. Incidentally they have already scored 10 off that over untill that ball.

What was KP thinking to do when Kohli had already scored 10 runs in that over?. They were going at 9/over at that time. If KP hadn't run he could have taken strike in the next over and finished the match in the next 2 overs or even less. His runout caused an unneccessary delay in the pace of scoring and hence the r/r.

Enna comparisonO? Running without looking at yur partner is a schoolboy error - and lordu labakku daas should not expect his partner to sacrifice his wicket unless the team depends solely on you

And people here are talking as if pietersen was more likely to score faster. As af said, this is not borne out by facts. Besides, digest this - kp was playing a comeback match. Why? Because he scored slowly in the last match he played and was dropped. Kohli is as likely to score fast as kp.
Bringing in sachin is a pathetic attempt at implying that sachin is a holy cow.
First of all, the issue was about swearing on which no defence can be made. And no implications can be made on sachin.
Secondly, it is not like Sachin fans will expect anyone to sacrifice the wicket. Anyone will sacrifice. Because Sachin commands respect. KP demanded it. And didn't get it.

The semi-final ready reckoner : Cricinfo.com

A look at what each team needs to do to make it to the IPL semi-finals.

Mumbai Indians: Already through to the semi-finals

Royal Challengers Bangalore: Bangalore's win against Rajasthan, and their high net run rate, means they're almost certainly through to the next stage. Their worst case scenario will be losing to Mumbai, and if other results follow a pattern, there could be five teams tied on 14 points, fighting for three places. Even then, it's extremely difficult to imagine Bangalore's net run rate not being among the top three out of those five.

Chennai Super Kings: A win in one of their next two matches will almost certainly see Chennai through to the semis, since their net run rate is so high. If they lose both, though, they'll be on a sticky wicket, and will need to depend on other results: Deccan will have to lose both their matches, while Kolkata will need to beat Rajasthan but lose to Mumbai. In that case, Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore will be through, while four teams - Deccan, Chennai, Kolkata and Rajasthan - will be stuck on 12 points each. The team with the highest net run rate will make the cut, which will give Chennai a decent chance, though two defeats will mean their NRR will come down from its current high.

Delhi Daredevils: Delhi's net run rate isn't as good as Bangalore's or Chennai's, which is why they'll need to win both their matches (or win at least one very convincingly) to assure themselves of qualification. Even if they beat Chennai, a loss in the last game against Deccan could make things difficult for them. If Deccan win their last two they'll move to 16, and there could be a scenario where Delhi are tied on 14 and fighting for one of the last two spots with Bangalore, Chennai and Rajasthan (or Kolkata). Both Bangalore and Chennai currently have a much better NRR than Delhi, and hence the worry for Delhi.

Rajasthan Royals: Even a win in their final match, against Kolkata, won't assure them of qualification, as there could be a scenario with five teams - Rajasthan, Chennai, Bangalore, Deccan and Delhi - being tied on 14, fighting for three places. Rajasthan's NRR of -0.421 puts them at a distinct disadvantage. Their best case will be if they beat Kolkata, and the following happens: Delhi win their last two matches, while Chennai and Deccan lose theirs. Then Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Rajasthan will go through without NRR coming into play.

Even if Rajasthan lose their last match they could be fighting for the last place if Delhi win their last two, while Deccan and Chennai lose theirs, and if Kolkata lose to Mumbai. Then, Deccan, Chennai, Kolkata, Rajasthan and Punjab will all have 12 points, and NRR will decide the final slot.

Deccan Chargers: Deccan's poor NRR means they'll need to win their last two to feel comfortable about qualification. If they win only one, they'll want to get through on points, so that NRR don't come into play. That's possible if Delhi win their last two, while Chennai and Rajasthan lose their remaining games, and if Kolkata lose to Mumbai. Then Mumbai, Delhi, Deccan and Bangalore will go through on points.

Kolkata Knight Riders: Like Deccan, they'll want the semi-final slots to be decided on points, not NRR, since they're languishing at -0.632. Kolkata's best chance is for Delhi to win their last two and for Chennai and Deccan to lose theirs. Then, if Kolkata win both their games, they'll be through on points with Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore.

Kings XI Punjab: Their only chance, a very remote one, is to fight for the last slot on NRR. Refer second paragraph for Rajasthan Royals.
From: Kalyasi on Thu Apr 15 6:24:12 2010.

�Run-outs did us in�

Jaipur: Rajasthan Royals captain Shane Warne was a disappointed man as he addressed the media after his team�s comprehensive defeat against an upbeat Royal Challengers Bangalore.

On the biggest reason for the defeat

Look, it�s very disappointing, I�m very depressed tonight. We just did not [get it right] you know. Every time we�ve made 150 or more, we�ve never lost batting first in IPL. The wicket and conditions tonight compared [with those] the other night. The other night we bowled first. We did gave away [too many in] the last few overs and got off to a horror start so we addressed that, we worked on that. Tonight we looked at the wicket so batting first [the obvious choice] under the dew wasn�t going to be too much of an issue tonight. It was a bat first wicket and you know we were off to a horror start again in the first six overs in the last two games. That is one of the reasons why we lost both games - because of the start we had. [At] none for fourteen off two overs [we were] actually looking pretty good but it wasn�t to be. I think we were three for fifteen again or three for twenty, so [it�s] hard to recover from that. So credit to Bangalore, but silly run-out again. I think we�ve had twenty odd run-outs or more. [I�m] just really disappointed being run-out like that, and we [faltered in] such a big game. It�s about calmness, we spoke about calm heads under pressure and unfortunately there was a little bit of a panic and we got off to a bad start. [A few players] got run-out and [we] lost a couple of wickets straight away so I think it was very hard to recover from that. I actually think we did pretty well to make 131, [it] looked like we are going to make a 100. Adam Voges and Abhishek Raut batted beautifully at the end to give us something to bowl at. If we had got off to a good start, got them at 3 for 30 or something like that, we thought we could win the game but we got the early wicket and Kevin Pietersen came out. He decided he would just absolutely try and take every one down and he got away with it and played beautifully and that is where a game is probably won or lost. We fought back, you know, taking the game to the sixteenth over - we did pretty well too.

On the players appearing unprepared for the big game

I definitely think we were up for it. As I said, we got off to a horrible start, credit to Bangalore - but it was just a stupid run-out. We have had twenty odd run-outs or something like that. You cannot afford to do that especially in the first six. Our boys were up for it, ready for it. The attitude I think both sides went into [the game] with was that whoever loses was basically out. I mean mathematically we can still get in but hopefully a miracle [will occur] and we get a chance and we play Kolkata.

On IPL 2010 being more intensely competitive than the previous two seasons

All three years have been pretty good. I have enjoyed [the tournament]. I think all the teams have always been quite [competitive]. The format of the Twenty20 game [implies] any team could beat any team on a given day. But as we are seeing in this tournament, every team is pretty close - probably six sides, seven sides that are pretty good. Kings XI can beat anyone as well - they just had a bad start. But I think all the teams [are well matched] - anyone can beat anyone as I said. It�s been a pretty good competition as I said to Ravi [Shastri]. I think our guys have learnt a lot and they will be better for it.

On introducing himself a little too late into the attack

[If] you look at the wicket and the way the wicket was, the fast bowlers [were likely to succeed] � [the picth] was a little bit up and down. I thought the fast bowlers could get some wickets and I could save myself for the middle overs � [to introduce myself into the attack between overs] 8 to 15 was our plan [�] at the start. Unfortunately, the way Kevin [Pietersen] came out and played it was good and we still thought the quicks could maybe get him out [�] So once [the plan] was wasn�t working it was do or die, that�s when I come on.

On whether batting first was the correct choice

No, I would�ve batted first for sure. I think if we would�ve got 150-160 we were right in the game � [and we were in for] as long as the 16th over. They got into [the game] in the 16th over so if we had got 160 it would have been a really good game. We were just 20-30 [runs] short with the bat. [�] This was a used wicket and batting first I think was the right thing to do.

On whether the dew came into play

No, not tonight - that�s why we batted first.

Back with a bang

Jaipur: Royal Challengers Bangalore's star batsman Kevin Pietersen shone for his side in their victory against Rajasthan Royals, thumping 62 off 29 balls. In doing so he showed once again why leaving him out of the XI earlier on in the tournament was a mistake. Here are the highlights of his interaction with the media after the game.

Excerpts:

On his disappointment after being run-out
Yeah I was disappointed, because I think if we had finished the game before the 15th over then we would have definitely been through [to the semis]. I know it looks now like we are definitely through, but I really wanted to finish the game and, at the end of the day I hate getting out and it was a bit of a silly way to get out.

On whether he felt his run-out was Virat Kohli�s fault:
[A] run-out is a run-out - irrelevant.

On the team�s performance
Very, very satisfied. We set our plans, we set out our goals to come to hit the Rajasthan Royals hard [and] to bowl aggressively, like the boys did against them in the first game in Bangalore. And we won that game convincingly, and we came out here and our bowlers, I thought, were fantastic [and] everyone held their catches. And I think all round it was a great team performance this evening in a very, very pressurised situation.

On the plan to score quick runs from the outset � la Suresh Raina for CSK vs KKR
I think when we played the Deccan Chargers the other day, we took a bit too long to get ourselves sorted. I think, as we saw last night, Suresh Raina came in and played an incredible knock and the way that Suresh played, that was similar to how I wanted to come and play this evening. And fortunately it worked, some days it works, some days it doesn�t work.

On batting well after being left out recently
I needed to field well, I needed to do everything to try and keep my place in the team. At the end of the day, it was disappointing to miss out on three games, so, to come out, there was a bit of pressure on me as well to perform today - to keep my spot � [and] hopefully I�ve done that.

On his IPL experience and the World T20
I love the IPL, the IPL is a fantastic tournament. It�s a brilliant concept, Lalit (Modi) has done a fantastic job, the vision of the man is superb and it�s a tournament where you really feel like you�re on the international stage. And for the young Indian players that play with all the internationals, it�s brilliant. It�s a very, very steep learning curve for those guys and for Indian cricket I think it�s fantastic. Going to the World T20 - I think all of us international players and the Indian players will take a lot from these conditions to the Caribbean because they are pretty similar.

On his form
Yeah, I think I am doing okay at the moment.

�Hoping to make a comeback on the cricket field, former Test cricketer Vinod Kambli may be seen in action with his old friend and teammate Sachin Tendulkar in the cash-awash Indian Premier League,� reported the Indian Express. The daily quoted Vinod Kambli as saying, �I am going to be associated with the Indian Premier League soon and hope to walk into the field with Sachin again."

EDIT: per disussion with thalaivar B(K), I acknowledge that over and above this, there is this instinct called self-preservation, which has to provide final approval. idhaiyellAm mIri, unakku sacrifice pandradhu en kadamainu(naane azhinju ponaalum sari-nu) thONaNumnA, you have to be Sachin Tendulkar or an equivalent. idhu dhAn I am trying to say.

In-form Deccan look to simplify semis march
Big Picture

The IPL welcomes its newest venue, Dharamsala, nestled in the Himalayas, in the closing stages of its third season. It is classified as a 'home ground' for Kings XI Punjab, and fans will have to travel up north to Himachal Pradesh to witness the biggest game of its kind in the home of the Dalai Lama. The match is of little consequence to Punjab, who are all but out of the tournament, but crucial to Deccan Chargers, who are still afloat in the closest semi-final battle the IPL has seen so far.

Mumbai are already in the semis, but only five of the remaining seven teams have realistic chances of joining them there. Deccan have 12 points from as many games, and will ideally like to win both their games to stand a good chance of qualifying, since they have a poor net run rate (-0.438). After a hard-fought win against Chennai, Delhi have snuck ahead of the pack to join Bangalore on 14 points. Chennai and Rajasthan are also on 12 points, but Deccan, despite being behind both on net run-rate, have an extra game in hand. If Deccan win only one of their last two games, they can still go through, but that will depend on how the other teams perform. If Delhi win their final game (16 points), while Chennai and Rajasthan lose their remaining games (both on 12), and if Kolkata lose to Mumbai, then Deccan will go through. A victory tomorrow against the weakest team in the tournament will give them some peace of mind before their final game.

Though Punjab are right at the bottom, with eight points and two games to play, they're still in the race, technically. If they win their last two, they will end on 12 points and may be lucky enough to battle for the final slot on net run rate. But for that to happen, they will have to rely on Deccan, Chennai, Rajasthan and Kolkata to lose all their remaining games, which is an unrealistic scenario. A backdoor entry isn't the best way to sneak through. Punjab will continue playing for pride, as they have done for a while now - they have won three of their last four games.

Form guide (most recent first)

Kings XI Punjab WWLWL
Deccan Chargers WWWLL

Team talk

In hindsight, Brett Lee needn't have shown up at all. He arrived in India after recovering from an elbow injury, failed to take a wicket in four games, and is now heading back home after suffering a hairline fracture to his thumb. Punjab may have to replace one of their foreign players from the XI, with the West Indian Adrian Barath in doubt with a stomach ailment. In that case, Ravi Bopara may get a recall.

Previously�

Punjab 4 Deccan 1
Deccan finally broke their jinx against Punjab the last time they met in this edition, in Cuttack. After posting 170, they ought to have won it comfortably having reduced Punjab to 104 for 7. Irfan Pathan's fireworks gave Deccan a scare but they eventually won by 6 runs.

In the spotlight

Herschelle Gibbs hasn't performed consistently enough for Deccan in this tournament. In nine games, he has managed only one fifty in 249 runs, at an average of 27.66. He had his ups and downs last year as well but played the most valuable knock in the final, where he was the top scorer among both teams. Will he turn out to be the big-game player again?

The Dharamsala pitch has never been tested yet in this tournament, so both teams are basically venturing into the unknown. It will be interesting to see what the captain chooses to do after winning the toss. Inserting the opposition will be the most natural thing to do, but the North Zone players in both should be able to give a fair insight as to what to expect from the surface. The ground has regularly hosted first-class games so some of the players will have a fair idea of the conditions. The venue is considered the most picturesque in India, with snow-capped hills in the backdrop - a pleasant change from other grounds.

Prime numbers and trivia

�Kings XI is the only team whose fast bowlers have leaked more than 9 runs per over. They concede 9.12 runs per over (Rajasthan are next at 8.99). Punjab's fast bowlers average 35.72 runs per wkt, which is the worst in the tournament

�Among fast bowlers who've bowled more than 75 balls, only three have an economy rate of more than 10, and two are from Punjab - Brett Lee (10.27) and Sreesanth (10.05).

�The HPCA Stadium will be hosting its first ever Twenty20 match tomorrow.

�South Africa A and Sialkot are the only visiting teams to have played here. The Pakistanis were scheduled to play a tour game here in 2005 but the match was abandoned due to poor weather.

The chatter

"Our players are peaking at the right time in the tournament. Every player of the team is contributing in team's good performance."
Adam Gilchrist, is happy with his side's strong recovery.

"He hopes that the injury will not threaten his chances for the World Twenty20. I hope not as we know he is a world-class performer and we would like him to be back fit soon."
Kumar Sangakkara, wishes Brett Lee the best.

I liked the way how Symo was this season. The couple of matches I watched he was giving 100% effort in all the dept.s I even noticed how he gave tips to local bowlers from his place in Mid on or Mid off and how often he discussed with Gilli regarding field setups.

Singh to Jayawardene, FOUR, make that five fours in a row, it was a good delivery form RP this time, a yorker just outside off, Jayawardene squeezes it past Rahul Sharma at short fine for a boundary

16.5

Singh to Jayawardene, FOUR, Jayawardene on fire, short ball and wide, batsman stands tall and whacks it over extra cover for another boundary

16.4

Singh to Jayawardene, FOUR, RP serves up a full toss this time, Jayawardene doesn't time it too well but there's enough power to get it to the wide long-on boundary

16.3

Singh to Jayawardene, FOUR, full and outside off, Jayawardene gets back-to-back boundaries, driven over point this time, that was a half-volley

16.2

Singh to Jayawardene, FOUR, innovative from Jayawardene, short ball outside off, MJ uppercuts it over backward point for four to bring up his half-century
