Should Afridi bat as an Opener???

Decrease text sizeIncrease text size

I think Afridi and Gilly would be the most dangereous batting pair in IPL :)

good luck hyderabadis

good luck hyderabadis

afridi can be asset to DC if

afridi can be asset to DC if he controls his aggression ,which he is not doing and cant do now for remaining matches, if he can, would have done long back,so its best to send him as opener, what ever be the situation he gives later batsmen has to control it weather good or bad, the more he has bat in his hands, is good for the chargers

Afridi can bat at any

Afridi can bat at any position provided he last for 25 balls. He will serve better to team if he decide to play minimum 25 balls.

yes he is dashing opener but

yes he is dashing opener but he fails to play as an opener if he clicks it would be easy to win for deccan chargers i hope that day will come soon.

if afridi will bat first our

if afridi will bat first our team will definetly loose

no it will not loose,afridi

no it will not loose,afridi is a batsman who can take advantage of thirty yards and play lofted shots

venu is playing superbly.

venu is playing superbly. Initially whwn the team sent him as the opener, everybody in this forum complained against DC to drop venu. Had he been persited with him at the opening slot things would have been different. I request DC team management to send venu to open the innings along with gilly.

yes afridi should open no 1

yes afridi should open no 1 with gilchrist and take out styris and put in chamara silva or vaas

Afridi is a gifted batsman

Afridi is a gifted batsman and in my opinion afridi should not open the innings because he is a kind of batsman who likes to go at the ball for every shot. But a good opening batsman should be able to build partnership with the opening batsman, which will help any team post a good total and also makes chasing easier if we have wickets in hand.
Afridi should be used very carefully by the caption so that he is not wasted. He should be sent according to the situation of the game. Especially when the team is in need of a good run rate immediately. This will definitely help solve the teams worries, but never as an opener.

yes afridi should open no 1

yes afridi should open no 1 with rohit sharma

yes i do accept with it !!

yes i do accept with it !! bOOM bOOM AfRIdI has to open with gIIly !! as gIbbSy nd GiiLy cudn`t do well .....afridi has to join gilly nd lead the team.....

Yes, my thinking is Boom

Yes, my thinking is Boom Boom Afridi has to open any cricket

yes.... absolutely yes

yes.... absolutely yes ....He must open 1st with Gilly.....!!!!!!

yes afridi would be best as

yes afridi would be best as an opener. infact i think tht when it cums to 20-20 afridi shud be used and relied upon more as a bowler than a batsman. afridi as a batsman is just a gamble, therefore its best to open wid him as if he clicks the bowling in the initial overs would be ideal for him, and if he doesn't then well the will probably get out really quick and the 3rd batsman will be able to play as an opener.

vaas and zoysa are too old

vaas and zoysa are too old to handle the bowling skills. buy mitchell johnston of australia next year and buy M. Clarke of again australia to bolster the batting. So boys i want your opinion what say? common dudes reply how was the plan for the next year. is it good.

what was the dc doing at the

what was the dc doing at the time of auction? when you have players afridi, gilly, gibbs, styris etc. What every people in the world thinks dat Hyderabad would win the every ipl match. No, if you are saying that it is not possible. You had to have the bowlers who are indians becoz only 4 foreign players should be there in the squad so those should be batsmen. So 4 the next reason dc should buy any of aussie, may be 'mitchell johnston' who is good

yeah man ur absolutely

yeah man ur absolutely rite..thats what i was thinking that they need to buy a superstar, well forming bowler...which will balance the team...and can u tell me for how long the foregin players contract last ?? will they be playing for next season??

FINALLYYYYY ATLAST DC

FINALLYYYYY ATLAST DC committee decided to send Afridi as an Opener and Guys you all saw how much big of a difference it made with his 33 in 13 balls bust Mc Grath who is a consistent economical bowler in IPL but not anymore :) ...Afridi batted sensible, gave a great start and he did his job chasing a huge total ... Afridi did his job and for the huge total it was an execellent start for DC ...some bad luck went through but thats game anthing can happen ... Rohit is awesome and now a days its great watch venu busting some bowling ... Great batting order like up and when Symonds comes back we could replace styris with him and hopefully laxman get back in team ... It was huge total and was a great chase to watch ... Venu got shewag nervous at one point and it was fun to watch ... Anyway hope our bowling improves more and we do need an international bowler like shoaib aktar or someone who can do real good damage to opponent team and also bat well :) ... Great job DC guys even though we lost :)

Listen Deccan

Listen Deccan Chargers.

First of all we thank you for selecting Hyderabad"Deccan Chargers".You are not commenting on teams defeat that's great(see vijay mallya).Hat's of to you deccan chronicle.I think you should add glamour by selecting Power star "Pawan Kalyan" or Prince "Mahesh" as our brand ambassdor for next time onwards.For next time select some good players(all gilly,afridi,gibbs are hitters only ,they don't have any consistency,they give up their wicket easily and styris became old and also foriegn bowlers are also not soo good in our team).if you select team for the next time,conduct a poll who are the members to select for next time.Once thanks a lot for deccan chronicle,Lakshman bhai don't worry we will see next time.Just watch statepeople are supporting our team (in that way we won half battle).
.

I THINK AFRIDI SHOULD OPEN

I THINK AFRIDI SHOULD OPEN BECAUSE HE IS A PERSON WHO LOOKS TO HIT EVERY BALL OUT OF THE GROUND AND IF HE IS SENT TOP OF THE ORDER HE WOULD SURELY UTILISE THE POWER PLAY TO SHOW HIS POWER AND IF COMES IN THE MIDDILE ORDER HE WILL TRY DO THE SAME AT THAT TIME ALSO BUT IF IT IS MISHIT IT IS TROUBLE SO HE MUST GO ON TO OPEN COMMON BOOM BOOM AFRIDI DC WILL CHARGE

if our best players go and

if our best players go and bat first we will loose.

Yep BOOM BOOM Afridi should

Yep BOOM BOOM Afridi should open with gilly and hopefully he gets back in team and DC management come on use him in top order ... Its a GAMBLE but will pay off if he clicks in the opening overs ... If he plays in middle order and gets out soon, there will be more pressure for the team in lower order ... Rather GAMBLE him as a opener than in middle order

From now on venu should pair

From now on venu should pair with gilly for openinig. Venu should be rewarded for his good work.For Afridi it does not matter if he is batting in the first over or 20th. We are very dissaoppinted to know that VVS will be out of action for 2 weeks.We wish him sppedy recovery.

all the player r gud hitters

all the player r gud hitters but they should control their wickets till 10 overs then they can hit shot. thats my opinion

HI All; Iam just wondering

HI All;

Iam just wondering does these msgs are reaching to Team & its management; if not its a request to pass them pls.

It doesnt make sense ( at least for me) when things aren't working u shud try something new to make them work, when Gibsy cant explode in opening in last several matches u shud have used Afridi for sure,its too late for semis though, at least for salvage of pride & prestige for remaining matches; given the fact being expensive franchise with volcanic batting; ( its time didn't ripe to erupt).

Mangement think again if u want to save some pride, heres ur mantra " Let Afridi Open".

Go....Go....Go....Go....Go....Go....Go....DC Chargers. show us the sky

hi i also agree with all,

hi i also agree with all, send afridi as an opner with gilly then see the magic of afridi he not a middle order batsman as all we know afridi cant handle the pressure so let him opening the innings where there is no pressure in the begingig and the players r in circle in 1st five overs then afridi can swing is bat freely and up to filed restriction finished afridi might have done the maximum damage to the oposition.

I was looking from the first

I was looking from the first match after afridi came in..Management of deccan chargers plz send Afridi as an opener.Based on the first wicket fall next batsman can be taken in..If afridi and gilly starts superb thn nobody can take the match away from us..

Plz try to anlyse this comments..

What is this? no afridi? he

What is this? no afridi? he was the man of series during the world twenty20 for the skills of his bowling. what was gibbs doing in the squad. He is a national discard from the south african team, That is why he was not present in the squad which played india in the test series. scott styris also is a national discard. Afridi should be picked because of his bowling skills. The score would not have been 205 if afridi was present.

Team management please

Team management please listen to the majority of fans who want to see Afridi to open. If this move clicks (at least this is a better plan than all of other plans that have failed) DC can win all the games and move to the Semis and if that happens, DC will be the favourite to win the championship......We want Afridi..........We want Afridi........We want Afridi...............

plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz end afridi as opener

correct

correct

Deccan Chargers should allow

Deccan Chargers should allow Afridi to open the innings with Gilly.He has good records as an opener.The team should shuffle it's batting order . Styris should be first down while Gibbs be second down.Rohit should come at No.5 for the team.

Afridi only play his natural

Afridi only play his natural cricket when he is on open. He will be most effective as opener becasue of the power play field. If its my call i either drop him or if pick him he will only open and nothing else because he could provide the start that every team would want.

Hi, Even i think the same.

Hi,

Even i think the same. Afridi should be given a chance to open along with Gilly.

i have been observing this

i have been observing this from the begning and also feels that Afridi should open with Gilly followed by Gibbs... if the Moderator's have noticed then you can see all teh Fans are replying to the msg were it's said Afridi should oopen... now time for devils to live in fear for 20 over.. and time for us to help them R.I.P

afridi bowls a good line and

afridi bowls a good line and length to the batsmen. see vaas and scott styris. they doesnt know how to bowl.

no afridi today i am

no afridi today i am supporting kolkata knightriders.

GILLY OR LAXMAN (CAPTAIN)

GILLY OR LAXMAN (CAPTAIN) PLEASE READ THIS 1

I think that by sending afridi on 6 or 7 u r asking him to just go for everything.see if u sent him as opener i am sure he wil give u atleast 25 and that too ur strike rate will be abv 200.and taking into consideration that if dc win all the remaining matches after loosing to kkr hey hav 95 % of entering semis so the following line up suits very best AND I BEG GILLY TO SENT THIS LINE UP

1 GILLY
2 AFRIDI
3 R SHRMA
4 GIBBS
5 SYRIS
6 VENU
7 BANGAR
8 ZOYSA(BEST IN CHARGERS)
9 RP SINGH OR VIJAY KUMAR
10 C VAAS
11 P OJHA

THANKS

Your team is good but I want

Your team is good but I want Chemira Silva to be given a chance because he is a sub continent batsman and understands the conditions very well in India.
Replace Styris with C.Silva.

Best OF Luck Shahid bhai

afridi should be sent as a

afridi should be sent as a opener....so that gibbs can keep wickets intact.......what afridi thinks of himself.....he should play according to the situations rather than playing
as he likes.......

Afridi can be batted as an

Afridi can be batted as an opener. but now it will not be the right time to give chance to afridi to bat as an opener. I think gilly should come up with Rohit to make a good stand,..... then Gibbs and Afridi can be the superman for chargers....

If they decide to make

If they decide to make Afridi play he should only open. He will be most effective as opener becasue of the power play field. If its my call i either drop him or if pick him he will only open and nothing else because he could provide the start that every team would want.
