Eng vs NZ Test series --- IPL

It was yet another drubbing for the DC and welcome win for the DD after loosing 4 games in a row. It was yet another brilliant knock from Gambhir and Dawan. Then the DD bowlers stuck to their task well and as usual the DC star cricketers in Gibbs,Afridi,Styris,Gili all showed some spark but failed to play a sensible long innings to take the team to victory. Its time that the owners of DC are going to come out in the open with their share of frustration on the lack luster performance.

I was also watching the match between England and the Newzeland Ist test and it was real treat to watch some good cricket. The whether conditions were suitable for swing bowling and the conditions were exploited well by the England fast bowlers. It was real good contest between good bowling and some resilient batting from McCullam and Oram, for purists it was a great start to the new season of some good cricket from the slam bang T20 games. The same McCullam who scored 150+ in the inaugural match of the IPL played some good cricketing shorts and showed patience and character playing against some good seam bowling. In fact i was missing quite a few overs in the IPL game to watch this wonderful contest between bat and ball.

Coming back to IPL, as i mentioned in the previous post the stage is set for some good contests with DD also winning 5 matches, the line up for semi-final is wide open.
