swinging fortunes in the IPL

So far the IPL hasn't been very predictable. thanx to the great comebacks from Delhi daredevils and rajasthan royals. There was a lot of hype around the deccan chargers when they buzzed the world with huge signings like Symmonds,Afridi,Gibbs,all of which are known for their ruthless hitting.but they were largely inefficient which i feel is because of Laxman's lack of experience as captain. The kolkata knight riders have an impressive bowling attack even without the rawalpindi express. They have set the flame and a very high benchmark of hitting standards. infact its wrong when i say they because even his teammates were a mere audience and could only support him. Yes, i am talking about Brendon Mc.cullum. Bangalore ,however, did not create any sensation by winning ;). I should say they would make a better test side. Mohali hasn't lived upto the expectations with a strong batting lineup. Chennai super kings stated off very well with consecutive wins under lucky person Dhoni, but with Hayden and Hussey out of the side to play for their home country the side looks depleted. Delhi 's batting seems largely banked on the likes of gambhir and sehwag.

after a few matches of what looked to be a formidable batting lineup, Delhi has shown that its line up is as vulnerable as any of the other teams,only that sehwag and gambhir haven't provided the middle order any chance to show their weaknesses by through the 20 overs all by themselves. hardly had the other teams had a look at the others' batting performance.

kolkata seemed to me as a one match wonder. brendon mc cullum could not produce another blistering knock,not even a decent knock. And with Brendon gone for series against england their problems seem to be aggravated. despite two of their bowlers being among the best averaged bowlers in the tournament, they faced defeats in their last three encounters. thats enough to explain how ineffective their batting is. Ganguly at the top of the order not being among the runs so far troubles the team very much.

chennai were very impressive in their first few games when everyone contributed to the total. So they were able to manage with a weak bowling. i donno whether hey lost their morale when hayden and hussey were out of team on their country's cause, that runs have dried up ever since.now with Ntini in the team they have a better bowling and should do well.
