The day 4 and 5 of the IPL 2

Respected Brother
Sadar Charan Sparsh

I know cricket would not be on your focus as you get prepared for your own game. the one that you are best at.. acting in Teen Patti.. I wish you greta times ahead of the shoot..

Yet the news from IPL 2 is still to cheer us Indians as much as we would have expected.. despite all their acts faltering them Kolkata finally could amass a win even if there were no rains.. they would have normally got the required runs to win the game.. it is so sad that Priety's team had to suffer two consecutive losses from as many games.. there are still 12 more to go for them.. yet they must get into the act at the earliest.. the sooner the better..

The other game being completely rainwashed had been some sort of reprieve for RR who were more likely to lose the second game of yesterday.. IPL should have taken weather into consideration before zeroing down on SA as the venue for IPL 2..chalo koi baat nahi.. Had it been in England you might have been available to cheer up the KXIP, I remember Priety had approached you earlier..

Today's game I feel Deccan Chargers have an edge yet as such one should notpredict the result without seeing how the first innings of the game - i.e. the team setting the target has performed say may be in its first ten overs.. now that they have a break of 7 and half minutes at that interval gives the teams and their followers to think and act as per the situation at hand..

If I were the captain of Bangalore I would do few things differently.. I would have preferred Jesse Ryder to one of the Ross Taylor or Jack Kallis and also tried to look for bringing in Sunil Joshi in place of Kumble (his five for five standing..) as I feel that Joshi is no mean a bowler and can be a lusty hitter and comparably a better fielder.. I would also see how I could accommodate Mark Boucher.. he might not have delivered last year.. yet the tournament being played in South Africa.. hs knowledge of conditions should be of some help..

For Deccan chargers I feel there would not be any changes.. unless they decide to play some foreign reserve player ahead of Scott Styris.. I do not know who all are available.. RP Singh and Rohit Sharma had done well in the first game so possibly BRC would have planned some strategies to tackle them differently..

It may be a good game if rains do not again spoil the show.. By the way which team are you supporting or wish to support besides the KXIP, we l\know you did some bites for them at the behest of Priety.. Let us also know your favourite players whom you expect to be heroes in the IPL 2

With more love than before
