Deccan Chargers have one of the best balanced teams. All the players have proven record and Hyderabad will be a good competitive team

While iam an ardent fan of

While iam an ardent fan of Deccan Chargers, i cant help but think the ridiculous way in which our team perished..Honestly, it didnt luk like a TEAM at all...group of individuals whos just there to earn some money...
Lets Break it down and analyze
Batting : Some good starts,good opening partnerships(especially in the last 2 games) but no middle order support...Deccan Chronicle should try to bring in some good indian lads for this job..luk at other teams, they have gud indian youngsters..abhishek nayar,raina,pathan,asnodkar,shikhar dhawan,gony..we have no such performers amongst out ranks..If the Deccan Chronicle guys really bother to read this, please please get some good youngsters in the team for next season..

Bowling: I know RP Singh is amongst wicket takers, but most of his wikcets came at the fag end of the innings where the batsmen r just luking to hit anything and everything. This is T20, of course bowlers are going to go for runs, but u need at least one bowler in the team to get some quick wickets,and one more to compliment him.bottom line, we dnt have the firepower.

Fielding : Fielding has been okay...could improve better.

Coaching : will someone please tell me what the coach's role was for this team??
every other coach seemed to have some role in the teams success or failure, but Robin Singh has been disappointing...no real motivation from him

Lastly this is not a post from an angry fan, but a post born out of anguish of having to see my fav team lose 12 matches out of 14.

Yeah yeah yeah, best

Yeah yeah yeah, best team..but only on the paper..
Afridi should be dropped for the next season(Hope theres not contract)
Thanks to DC for keeping Laxman off the field on fitness grounds ;)
Promote one indian youngster up the order..not venugopal rao..thats not his position.
someone like ravi teja(Ambati Tirupati Rayudu wud've made a fine addition,sad hes in ICL)
Except for gilchrist, none of the team members luk like a UNIT
Please and for gods sake, keep Arjun Yadav out of the team, hes clearly not for 20-20.cant bowl,fields awfully, looks woefully gone when batting..few edges,few mishits and his score will be 20 frm 10 balls..thts not 20-20

Only Star in the Team..

Only Star in the Team.. ROHIT SHARMA..!!
later in the tournament we found another star in the form of Venu Gopal Rao. But it was too late. Gilly not up to his reputation. Laxman palyed a couple of innings and made 50's. Gilly and Laxman captaincy was not good. One example.. they not used spin bowler Pragyan fully. The bowler proved his metal when ever he got chance. But in most of the matches he didnt get the ball to bown even he is well in the 11. This is disgusting. most of the time he did not complete his full quota even his economy rate in low.
One more drawback of our team is openers. We have to find 2 good openers for our team next year. Gibsy i dont know whether he bounce back next time or not. This time he failed cheaply. RP.. one of the best wicket taking bowler in the IPL. But his economy rate is too high. It cost alot for the Chargers. He has to control giving awy runs. And local players didnot get much support and chance this time. Expecting they will get more chances next time... Any how all the best Chargers next time.

today's loss against royals

today's loss against royals has really left me down............i hope vvs laxman is dropped from the side and give the captaincy to..............adam gilchrist...............and we must also bring in ravi teja..........drop arjun yadav.and bring in aa impact makin bowler....vassy , rudra , afridi, ojha, bangar and some one .........is needed to balance our team..........in bowling department...........

After today's loss...i don't

After today's loss...i don't think Lax man removal from captaincy made any difference to the team..as even gilly captaincy had no made any difference......its all the batsman's fault...like gilly, gibbs...and afridi and styris who are highly paid...so they should be sacked from the team.or they should pay some money back for every loose because of there dirty batting ..and young guys should be given more chance...at least loosing they will get some exposure.....of international cricket....

Absoultely right...we need

Absoultely right...we need some good bowler for our side to win.... why is the team not opting for good bowlers or change of bowler... we got good ones like Ojha, Bangar, Afridi.....as mentioned... .and Sarveesh too.. he is very nice with the ball......I just hope he is given one chance...let him play a match and see how he does.. hope they make some chnage in the team and hope they win the MATCH tomorrow .... !!!! crossing our fingers ...:)

Gilly should take up the

Gilly should take up the captaincy and Laxman should be dropped from the team. Replace Laxman with a better bowler and get S.Styris instead of Vaas.

My team would be: Gilly, Afridi/Gibbs, Symonds, Rohit, Styris, Bhangar, Yadav, RP Singh, Ojha, Kalyan/Vijay

Please Please put Laxman

Please Please put Laxman aside.... The Time has come to shuffle all theplayers in the side...
What the hell is Laxman doing as a captain?
HE doesn't bat well,
HE doesn't know how may fielders were inside the ring
HE doesn't know how to use his Bowlers...
HE doesn't know how to inspire the team...

Then why the hell is he inside the team???????????

Please Please don't let us down.... I beg you...TEAM MANAGEMENT should take a stiff stand.

Excellent team waste

Excellent team waste captain.

No point blaming the

No point blaming the captain, its just that the bowling lacks the variety and experiance to support laxman.

hey guyz wassup i hope all

hey guyz wassup i hope all watched 2day match.....i really think VVS shud drop down frm captaincy & make sum other guy as captain.. i really dont understand y DC selected VVS. first of all he is a test player...he doesnt have experience of captancy & not a play of 50-50 match..i dont know wht made DC to select VVS really tht was bad selection

Anyhow its only a game.One will win the contest.Let us hope that HC's will be the winner.why not we are having good players to battle.as per my opinion, following the rotation method will gives the success.It allows all the players to play,who r in squad.So hope each and everybody will get a chance to play.

I cant wait for the game to

I cant wait for the game to begin. Where are the team T shirts??

Very nice blend of players

Very nice blend of players in the team. It will be nice if we can add a nice spinner as well. Symonds and afridi can fill up that gap tough. My choice of the playing XI should be:

-Gilchrist
-Ravi Teja
-Gibbs
-Lakshman
-RohitSharma
-Symonds
-Afridi
-SraveeshKumar
-KalyanKrishna
-RP Singh
-VijayKumar

no bowlers mama let us have

no bowlers mama let us have at least one more bowler instead of SraveeshKumar

it's a nice team, but one

it's a nice team, but one cannot leave out mail strike bowler like vaaz. therfore it is better to leave out Gibbs and take in Vaaz. For a simple reason I would prefer afridi, because he is good spin bowler.

very very nice team

very very nice team combination, still we need to take on pragnan ojha really who can be trusted to shatter the partnerships.

hey Gibbs should open

hey Gibbs should open

Hey DC get the merchandise

Hey DC get the merchandise out .I am waiting to dress out in my DC jersey here in the US,Go......Chargersssss..........

Live Life Kingsize!

Wonder what the uniform

Wonder what the uniform looks like.... cant wait for the merchandise to come out =P
Hope its better organised than BCCI with India merchandise ... cant buy that gear anywhere =(

oh and I LOVE THE LOGO!!! SOOO AWESOME! <3

The openers should be

The openers should be Gilchrist & D.B.Raviteja who proved very good in Ranji Matches besides representing India in U-19 in many countries.

Youngester like him must be elevated to give an entertaining & confidant cricket.

thats absolutely correct i

thats absolutely correct i think that will help the team alot

very very special laxman

very very special laxman leading a very very special team ( the best fire works in cricket world ) ,
deccanchargers gonna thrash all other teams, i can not wait to see it

Rohith will Rocks T20

Rohith will Rocks T20

well dont under estimate

well dont under estimate shahid afridi and dont forget he was number 1 twenty20 bowler in T20 world cup recently, so normaly he is accurate n unorthodox, can destroy any bowling with bat if he apply brain and stay on wicket. Symond is failed T20 bowler but must batsman cuz apart from hitting he can stay on wicket which is destructing as well, gilli being wicket keeper has to play n can open the batting n will more likely to make score more often then not, 4rth one can be zoysa or chaminda, chaminda can be prefered being experienced. Thats my 4 international players for game one n then replace them with others if any one of them lacking form, what do u think guys ?

Batting & Keeping Hyderabad

Batting & Keeping Hyderabad are awesome....

But bowling is weak. mate.

Hyd Rocks...We will win the

Hyd Rocks...We will win the CUP.... 20-20 at its best when this team fires.

G) D CHARGRES GO...GO.......

My 11
Adam Gilchrist - Opener N W Keeper
Afridi - Opener N Spin Bowler (All Rounder)
Laxman - Main Stay (Have to play through the innings)
Symonds Just Hit (Smasher N Spin Bowler- All Rounder)
Rohit Sharma (Keep one end up)
Other
Chaminda Vaas Late innings Hitter N Opening Bowler
RP Singh Opening Bowler
Others

Based on form...Gibbs and Styris in place of Afridi and Vaas

Thanks for the comment..

Thanks for the comment..

Shahid...above all

Teams looks very good on batting side.... i think in t20 batting is mortant than bowling...

The bull reminds me of

The bull reminds me of 'Sye'... so to all the competition in IPL, ICL, Ford Rangers Cup, Pura Cup... simply "SYEE !!!!"

Yup....It is ine if the most

Yup....It is ine if the most Dangerous Team

DECCAN CHARGERS VIDEO IS

DECCAN CHARGERS VIDEO IS ALSO IS VERY NICE AND TEAM WILL ALSO BE A GOOD TEAM...FIRST I WILL SAY THANKS TO LAXMAN..BEST OF LUCK TO VVS LAXMAN TEAM...

IPL Should allow more

IPL Should allow more international players,
i donno how its going to work.
gilly,symo,afridi,gibbs here are four international players.
there is no room for bowlers man.

Dont worry abt those rules

Dont worry abt those rules dude...... every other team faces the same problem.......
just have a look below.....

Openers
1. A. Gilchrist(VICE CAPTAIN) (wk)
2. H.Gibbs/ S. Afridi (Afridi can spin)

No.2 'n 3.
3. D. Raviteja
4.A. Symonds / S. Styris (can spin / can bowl medium fast)

Middle order
5. Rohit Sharma (can come in handy with ball)
6. VVS Laxman (CAPTAIN)
7. Sanjay Bangar (fast bowler)/ Arjun Shivlal Yadav

Bowling attack
8. R.P Singh (fast)
9. Chaminda vaas / N.Joysa
10. Pragyan Ahuja (spin)
11. N. Sarveesh Kumar (U-19)

Back up
-K. krishnan (Bowler)
-Chamra Silva (middle order batsman, has less chances of getting in)
-Halhadar das (wk)
-Venugopal rao (all rounder)

This way we have obeyed the rules of letting only 4 intl players and have enough bowling power........

Summary might give a more clear cut idea-

Hard hitters - A.Gilchrist, H.Gibbs, S.Afridi, D.Raviteja
Strong middle order batsmen- S.Styris, A.Symonds, R.Sharma, Sanjay Bangar
Strong bowling attack- R.P Singh, C. Vaas, Pragyan Ahuja, Sanjay Bangar, S.Afridi
Strong fielding attack- Rohit Sharma, A.Symonds, H.Gibbs, C.Vaas
Wicket keeping- Gilly.... do we need to say more....!
Handy players- VVS. Laxman, N. Sarveesh Kumar,

And these are all according to my final 11......! I dont think any other combination wud be better.......
