| Delhi Daredevils and their Misery |
|
It seems like Delhi Daredevils has lost it's good standing with the 'Gods' of IPL. Obviously. Why would a team with no 'Superstars' be chosen to win the IPL?
Mumbai has Sachin.Jaipur is Mr.Modi's hometown. Chennai has Dhoni. Mohali has Yuvraj.
Why would any of the other teams be required to win for a successful first IPL season? Delhi is going to lose, and in my opinion it wouldn't even make the Final 4, even though it's my favorite team, I say this. Their good start was to make things interesting all throughout IPL, and to make sure that 'one-sidedness' wasn't seen in the initial stages of the tournament.
Amazing storyline to the IPL.
I also had a feeling to the World T20 cup being fixed, looking at how India and Pakistan reached the finals by winning lost matches and then Pakistan throwing it away by that infamous Misbah shot which any sane cricketer wouldn't have played in the final over of a World Cup. Besides, what better way to kick-start T20 with a India-Pakistan final, which has almost a billion people watching.
Delhi Daredevils...What a shame. A good team. But losing questionable matches..Sehwag choosing to bat first today on a night he knew could have rain. Hmm. And those last ball defeats he's had..The sudden collapses of the batting against bowling attacks that may as well throw coconuts instead of balls.
Questionable, isn't it?
