CSK's dismal performance against DC

2020 cricket is not about hitting sixes !! Thats what this match has proved..Its all about maintaining the momentum through out the match.It was an uphill task once DC put up a solid total on the board(191/4).It was a splendid fightback from Symonds and Gibbs earlier which ensured the big total for DC.

Chennai's chase never had any momentum on it.Most of CSK's batsman played like they were Super Heroes.Come dash and go...Chaminda Vaas striked three killer blows on the first 6 overs took CSK's chase literally offline.

Murali Vijay and Badrinath should put their thinking cap on.Both are very good players technically but you have to apply yourself on the game and its circumstances.Remember you won't get opportunities for a longer period of time like this.

Kudos to Gilli,he realized that the spinners are most effective on this pitch and bowled even his part time spinners which proved to be very effective.Ball was holding up on the pitch and Symond's did describe on the halftime that it is not easy to play the shots on this wicket from the word go because of the ball holding up little bit on the wicket.

Looking forward for a good next outing for the CSK..

DC throws match to KKR in IPL 2010 opener

KKR finally managed to open the IPL like 2008 with a win against Deccan Chargers.Last year at IPL for KKR is disastrous.I somehow felt DC gifted the match to KKR after 10 overs in the first innings as well as on the second innings.Nothing can takeaway the credit to Dada who managed to rotate the bowlers in critical time and got the break throughs he required.Meanwhile Dada scored a Duck.

Sachin's 200 Highlights

Sachin Tendulkar re-wrote the record books on Wednesday, hammering the first double century in the history of one-day cricket to add another feather to his well-adorned cap.

The capacity crowd at the Captain Roop Singh Stadium witnessed history on Wednesday as Tendulkar, statistically the greatest batsman the game has ever seen, pushed a Charl Langeveldt delivery through the off-side and ran a single to achieve a feat which no other cricketer has achieved.

Troy

Troy is of reference quality on Blu-ray. Though it is encoded in the somewhat controversial VC-1 encode that is commonplace only on Warner Brothers Blu-ray discs, this 2.40:1, 1080p high definition image is of stunning beauty. The pristine quality of the image is evidenced as soon as the movie begins.

As a single dog walks through a desert field on a bright day, passing a bloody helmet and coming upon a large army, viewers are immediately awestruck by what they are seeing on their displays. The image is very bright with the primary colors being tans, golds, and browns.
