Cricket Moments:Ganguly Silences critics in IPL

This is a "Praise ganguly Post" .... read on if you are a ganguly fan.

The match with Deccan chargers (11th May) should silence all the critics of GANGULY who say that he is not a good player for this format of the game. He has been the person every fan of his admires. He has hit some beautiful shots through the offside and lot of sixes straight on. He even hit some sixes on the legside. It was awesome. He has proved that it is not about blind hitting but some clever cricket that can help in scoring runs. He along with hussey score about 100 runs in the last overs ... this turned the game completely towards kolkata's side ... no questions asked!!! He truly deserved a century in this match but fell 9 runs short of it.

Except for some heroics from venugopal rao it was all about completing the formalities in the bowling department which has been performing brilliantly through out the tournament.

He made some important changes for this match .... improved the batting line up for the match by getting salman butt in the team ... though he did not help in the end it did not matter(thanks to ganguly). He got rid of agarkar(he gets hit to the boundary a lot). He used his bowlers cleverly ... even he himself set an example to the other bowlers. His fielding has also improved :D :D :D :D

Now all we are waiting for is rajasthan royal to defeat delhi daredevils and then Kolkata Knight Riders are in the top 4 teams of the tournament(only runrate can be an issue).

I have a few points that are bad about the KolkataKR's but am not going to mention it in this post(maybe in the next post about Kolkata Knight Riders)

Any more doubts!!!!!!
BTW how many cricketers in this tournament have won 2 Man of the Match awards??? Sehwag Gambhir etc etc around 4 and ganguly is one of them.

The other Match today is between Delhi daredevils and rajesthan royals ....
Shane warne is a great man .... the rajasthan team has managed to restrict the delhi daredevils to a mere 156 even after a brilliant start from gambhir and sehwag. When the openers fell the rajesthan royals were quick to apply brakes on the runrate and did a good job till the end ... except for maharoof hitting shane warne over the fence a few times in 1 over. 156 is an easily gettable target and I sure hope that they will get it easily.
