Murli Vijay helps keep Chennai Super Kings hope alive; Mumbai Indians on a roller coaster ride

April, 4 2010

The dramatic events of the star-lit IPL 2010 are unfurling at a rapid pace as the IPL 2010 unveiled yet another day of lusty hitting, when Murli Vijay knocked the stuffing out of Deccan Chargers, as he notched up a well compiled ton at a brisk rate and has also helped to keep the hopes of Chennai Super Kings alive. Chennai Super Kings with the victory over Deccan Chargers will have to conjure more twenty 20 tricks in the upcoming twenty 20 matches to stay as strong contenders for the IPL 2010 title.

In another IPL 2010 match, Mumbai Indians put the boot into the beleaguered Deccan Chargers team and has strongly conveyed its intention to clinch the IPL 2010 title by occupying the top position in the IPL points table. A quick fire 55 from Amabati Rayudu laid the platform for yet another convincing victory, with the bowlers doing the rest by dismissing Deccan Chargers for a paltry 115.

The battle for the fourth position for the semi-final spot in the IPL 2010 is reaching new heights, as the Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals battle it out to win the coveted semi-final spot in the IPL 2010 tourney.

Ash, Batters Despised Your ‘Mate’ Call

Check, mate was a bugle call from that Grand Master. The batters turned pawns, and he the captor. My Tribe. And when someone from your tribe shatters the illusion of off-spinners being not intelligent and sharp, you owe him, or certainly I owe him an ode to an off-spinner, our tribe. My tribe has done the cricket world proud, time and again. Ash, Ash Wednesday, it was. Remarkably, a reflection perhaps of how off spinners have defied the notion of them being orchestrators of damp squibs. Or of repentance of my tribe as not to have set the score straight with their brains deceiving the brawn with flight. Your clarion call may have come out of the blue, denied you the solemn farewell, and may have invited thunderous denunciations. So, what? You will find succor to know that your tribe celebrates you – one of the hallowed sons of the tribe. Your display of cognitive superiority, mind-game thrillers, and the stamp of off-spinning authority on the field puts you there among the pantheons. Th...

Playing a Straight Bat - Traditional Batting c Modern Batting b T-20 Live?

  There has always been a riveting talk of traditional batting being blighted by Modern batting. Some whisper the emphatic No, while many bellow the affirmative Yes, or perceptually, it could go the other way. The ongoing craftsmanship vs showmanship game seems to stutter into a draw. But that showmanship of T20 has ignited different avatars of modern batting. And there is also the obvious swap of modern batting for traditional batting in the longer formats of the game. As an anodyne, the mind connects Viv to T-20 cricket live. You can hold Viv Richards as the archetype of T-20 batting. But that’s the story of a craftsman come crowd-pleaser soaked in traditional batting delight. Viv Richards was ace high on traditional bating display. Talking of the infectious modern batting, the flip the script moment on the cricket field awaits. White flanneled colts on the cricket field are a pleasing sight. The roving eyes detect the Cardusian field setup - two slips, a gully, a point, a co...

High and Handsome, An Immortal Sixer-shooter did that in style

Baird would have found this a most gratifying moment. The very toy that he had built was telecasting an absolute cracker of a contest between bat and ball. The one-day match between India and England was cresting to a sensational finish, keeping the audience on the edge of the seats.  Being a Scottish man himself, Baird would have liked England to be the victor than the vanquished in a match that held promises of a close finish. It was a run riot. There was sumptuous meal for the batsmen from this batsman’s paradise. It proved right with England posting their highest ever score in India. The seesaw battle for win saw the game swinging in England’s favor, though a distant Indian win was spotted in the horizon. The last lap of the match had begun and it was a solitary run that separated India from victory. Patrolling the crease was a sly fox in Ashwin ready to lay its trap, this time with the bat. Standing like a gladiator with the bat resting on his shoulder and eyes betra...
