Should gilly be the captain

Decrease text sizeIncrease text size

i think gilly should be retained of his captaincy becoz i felt his captaincy skills are better than laxman's skills as compared in match against chennai super kings...

I do not think Gilly should

I do not think Gilly should lead the team. For all his life he had been no.2 and not no.1. Good for advising but not for Captain. His knowledge of sub-continent pitches and ideal game plan for T20 is all he lacks. Afridi is playing T20 for last more than 10 years in Karachi. Yes T20 matches were being played in Pakistan since end of 70's and not now. He probably played T20 first and then ODIs. Secondly specially Afridi is being under utilised as bowler. Because Gilly does not know how to use spinners in this form of cricket. They should bowl their overs in one go. Batting order should be Afridi, Gilly, Gibbs, Rohit Sharma and Styris. Then in order of batting prowess. There is no need of left arm spinner if you have an off spinner. Bangar should be replaced by some younger player who can bowl faster than him to share new ball or as third seamer.

yup Gillv shud lead d team

yup Gillv shud lead d team but i think the team shud discuss n make a strategy ders no plan

yes gilly should be as

yes gilly should be as captain he know well field restrictions and he is aussie minded he is aggressive with his bat laxman is not good as captain he is not having comanding

Gilly is not imaginative in

Gilly is not imaginative in his field placing because he does not know how to use spinners in this form of Cricket on sub-continent pitches. Laxman does not qualify as T20 player. That leaves Afridi who captained Karachi in T20 and reached finals which they could not win as he had left for Hajj in 2006. Afridi is hardly 27 and has played about 300 ODIs (More than 250 for definite) with strike rate of more than 105 and has hit more 6s than Jaysuriya who has played 100 more ODIs than him. He was named Player of the Tournament in first T20 World Cup recently. His team reached finals and missed championship with a whisker.

Gilly will be righ choice

Gilly will be righ choice for captaincy. He can help to bring up the team.

yes gilchrist should be the

yes gilchrist should be the captain that doesnt mean laxman is not a good player it just means that gilchrist is a better captain.

I feel Laxman is a very good

I feel Laxman is a very good captain. It is true he made few blunders in this tournament as captain, mainly trusting Symonds capabilities as a bowler in crucial situations. But over all his bowling changes and keeping the situations under his control, he has shown his maturity as a captain.
If you measure his performance as captain based on the team's losses in this IPL, then we have to remember one thing, a captain is only as good as a team.

The main reason for Deccan's failure are, except for Rohit Sharma, VVS and couple of knocks from Gilly, none of the top order batsman clicked to their potential. The bowlers of Deccan does not seems to have the talent to bowl the opponent out.

Infact i have seen the most unmotivated Deccan team on field was against Rajasthan Royals on May 8th under Gilly's captaincy.

Laxman knows these conditions and the players better than Gilly. Please dont downgrade our own talent.

There is no wrong in V.V.S.

There is no wrong in V.V.S. as captain.

At the time of maturing as a captain laxman got injured and he stepped down as captain in other way he sacrifice his place for team sake , infact he has done this 2 times 1) by rejecting icon status to get good players 2) by not playing crucial matches and giving chances to other players hoping they may perform better than him.But over all his bowling changes and keeping the situations under his control is perfect compare to gilly.The bowlers of Deccan does not seems to have the talent to bowl the opponent out.They have the talent but proper planning and motivation is missing.And moreover laxman knows these conditions and about players better than Gilly.Coming to Afridi only god knows when he hits, that is only 1 day out of 100.He needs to use his brain while hitting the ball, no doubt he is good bowler but not at all a good hitter.It's surprise that Gibbs is not at his best.Sad 2 say D.C. is strong on paper but not so strong on ground.

Gilly should be captain not

Gilly should be captain not any one else....................

yup gilly should be the

yup gilly should be the skipper because he s got much experinece than laxman
but dont forget that gilly led the Aussie team before
hey its nothing against laxman but gilly s got much experience in this format of the game than laxman as Captain

Gilly should lead DC but

Gilly should lead DC but Laxman should play . Gilly`s captaincy is better than Laxman . Don`t forget that Gilly led the Australian side many times . I`m not opposing Laxman`s captaincy but Gilly is better than Laxman in leading the side .

yes,gilly should lead the

yes,gilly should lead the team because he had a expierence in leading the 20-20 world cup and he lead the australia team .........he had the ability to take the "DECCAN CHARGERS" to the semi final......i am not opposing the laxman captancy but i think gilly can do better then laxman.

Gilly is Best Captain in

Gilly is Best Captain in IPL

Gilly is better than Laxamn.becuse he used attck the bowerles end to end.and place fileders as side to bowelrs suggestions accroding their suggustions.and good batting lineup chnaging according to runrate.the main thing about gilly batting is superb and extraordinary.so gilly is better.Give a chance to Ravi Teja in place of Arjuan Yadav.

no doubt gilchrist is only

no doubt gilchrist is only captain laxman should play but gilly should captain

The Demolition Nan

definately ...Gilly should b

definately ...Gilly should b the captain .... he is a better captain than Laxman ... I think Laxman should give up his captaincy ..n should play with good team spirit without hurting his ego .. i respect Laxman's seniority n his batting talent .. but as a captain he is not better than Gilly ....... Gilly should captain the team for rest of the matches for us to survive the tourney ....

EAST OR WEST GILLY IS THE

EAST OR WEST GILLY IS THE BEST, Gilly would be the best choice for DECCAN because he Captained the one Match and they won he is very experienced player and he deserved. From Jahanzaib GIZRI

true....as all of u.... i

true....as all of u.... i agree gilly should be the captain as laxman lacks aggression... i hope the management takes in this advice and makes gilly the captain of deccan chargers... i would love to see it winning.. but due to its losing streak many of them changed their team of preference from Deccan chargers to others... i hope this should be considered seriously..

there is nothing bad in

there is nothing bad in making gilly as captain. laxman as a captain is good but gilly is more experienced as a captain,in the last match against csk gilly made a innovative feild setting which pressurised csk's left hand batsman,even cskcould score only 58 runs between 11-19 over.These all shows the exelence of giilys captainship

Hi.. I think Laxman

Hi..
I think Laxman Should not open innings in the coming matches and he should replace venu and he should bat only after Gilly...Gibbs..Styris..Rohit and Afridi and please remove that Arun Yadav from the team he has attitude problem..If the team follows this batting order i bet no one can beat us ....Kodus to the blowers too...

Venu and Arjun should not be

Venu and Arjun should not be in the team. Gibbs should open with Gilly. Bring on Ravi Teja in place of arjun

gilly should be the captain

gilly should be the captain for DC because he did well against the dangerous CSK who won 4 consecutively.Gilly is batting well to when he was under pressure because he was captain

what is aggression take off

what is aggression take off your shirt and wave or gift to someone???? what is the need for a professional to tell what he should do??? laxman rocks and he should open the innings .....its not great in hitting a bad ball to fence but its magic to punch a good length ball to fence that not only gets runs but forces the bowler to do something different....and talking of strike rate please check afridi's and tell when he won a match owth his bat????.......laxman we are with you and we are still hopeful that luck will start favoring us

We are not playing TEST

We are not playing TEST cricket and in T20 only the strike rate matters. 32 runs of 30 balls will not win you a match. 20 runs from 6 balls (afridi) won the match

Aggression may not be required but laid back attitude is always dangerous

after getting the momentem

after getting the momentem back the dc should carry out with the same team for remaining matches with gilly as captain.if laxman plays in the team he should play as a member but not as a captain.

plz take RAVI TEJA instead

plz take RAVI TEJA instead of VENUGOPAL.we even saw ASNODKAR , a young talented chap in rajasthan royals;he batted very well. i think venu gopal should be replaced by RAVI TEJA and give him an oppurtunity to prove.

let GILLY be the captain .he will win DLF IPL for us & we will get going with him as leader.

laxman lacks d aggression

laxman lacks d aggression dat a captain needs!!!gilly waz jst awsme in his captaining!!!!hpe he getz chance in nxt match too!!!!!i think dat laxman z suited 4 test captaining only!!!!??!!!!!CONGRATZ 2 DC 4 AN AUSM WIN!!!!!CHEERZ!!!!!!!!

gilly cud be kept as the captain for the jaipur match and vvs can come in as a normal player.

hi!!i totally agree with u

hi!!i totally agree with u dat gilly must b kept as a captain and laxman can cme afterwardz!!!!!gillyz captaincy waz jst awsm!!!!!

yes he should be the captain

yes he should be the captain

In test matches i would like

In test matches i would like to have eleven laxmans in my team...can take him in onedays too....but T20!!!!..man thats not cricket at all ....ICC should have comeup with a name like T20 slogging!!!......we need butchers like sehwag and not classy players like laxman.Slogging doesn't come to him easy, and he is trying hard with ones and twos..but i guess T20 is all about fours and sixes.

There is no doubt tht Gilly

There is no doubt tht Gilly should b made d captain. we saw his skills in d last game. Laxman is d weakest link in d team. he is nt fit 4 20-20. nor he can bat fast, nor feild well (except slips) nor can he ball......

Gilli should be the captain

Gilli should be the captain for the rest of the tournament.
He keeps well.
He Bats well.
He is an aggressive batsman.
Thats what DECCAN CHARGERS NEED......Chalte rahooooooo

Yes Gilli should Be the

Yes Gilli should Be the captain,

I dont know if DC checks this but wat happened y'day clearly shows that Gilly is a better captain than gilchrist. Laxman is good, but wat we need in this tournament is agression with the right strategy. The squad we have should be utilized in a right way and who else but Gilly can do it.

DC please have Gilly as the captain.

YES GILLY IS BEST. 4

YES GILLY IS BEST.

4 GILLY,GIBBS,STYRIS,AFRIDI IN ROW ARE ABLE TO demolish any team in world.

With LAXMAN the problem is even if he scores 48(37). what he misses is he leaves and scores 1 or 2 on the balls where a boundary can be scored easily in first 6 overs. His that attitude leaves the ending bats in great dilemma so the whole team struggle to reach 160-180 which has potential to score 200+.

NO doubt laxman world class player but He is not FIT AT ALL for 20-20. Just like NADAL in tennis can do history in Clay court while in grass court he fails. SO LAXMAN RELAX AND WATCH YOUR TEAM WIN SITTING IN DRESSING ROOM.

REGARDS,,

Yes ,Gilli should be the

Yes ,Gilli should be the captain of deccan chargers because ,laxman lacks aggression ,knowledge as a captain .T20 is about mind game, the captain should think what the batsman going to do in tat particular over. I think laxman should not be considered in playing 11 selection .If Gilli will b the captain we can win the remaining matches and also IPL tournment.

Yes, Gilly should be the

Yes, Gilly should be the captain, He really did a nice job againist Chenai. The way of utilizing the bowlers an the way he was played really superb. And indian bowlers really doing well. please maintain the same team. But instead of venugopal take the laxman. Gibbs or Afridi can open the innings. yester batting order really good

Congrats to Gilli

Congrats to Gilli

Because He Captaied the One Match..Very Good Captaincy By Gilly.Changing Bowlers and Changing Batting Order is Good..i think Gilly Should be Captained to other Matches Also.Why dont give Chnace to Raviteja instead of venu.(who has a failed candidate)

laxman lacks the aggression

laxman lacks the aggression and is not dominating as a captain..infact that wud create unnec burden on hi..let him display his battin skills and gilly who has experienced captainin aussies be the captain..we too might start performin like the royals then..

It makes no difference in my

It makes no difference in my opinion since its how the team comes together in the match. Plus we did lose 2 matches with 1 ball the first was against the rajasthan royals when warne hammered for 6s & the banglore match where we couldnt get a 6 so seal the win & the kolkatta game was in our hands a bit but we lost & got owned in the delhi game.

I dont mind if it means we will win more matches though lol but laxman has done a good job so far.

Yes Gilly would be the best

Yes Gilly would be the best choice for DC as a captian.

Gooooo....The Deccan

Gooooo....The Deccan Chargers.Yes, I totally agree with you. Gilly would be the best and surely took the challange up and lead the team in to good direction. Hope this winning vibe prevails till the end. Cheers.

hands down its gilly who

hands down its gilly who should lead.Infact its blessing in disguise...however laxman is a world class player and good person, so the issue is will laxman take cue from gilly and with example, scoring over 150.00 strike rate..kindly see that ..its important opener maintains strike rate of 150.00 plus...make sure u take cue from gilly in field placements and extra.
