Some teams keeping wickets in hand, others firing from the word go...<BR/><BR/>There were some strategies on display in the T20 WC last year as well.<BR/><BR/>Captaincy I don't agree. <BR/><BR/>Warne surely has done amazingly well with an average team.<BR/><BR/>KKR have thus far won due to individual brilliance rather than captaincy - their 5 victories have come cause of McCullum, Hussey. Ganguly, Ganguly, and Akhtar. <BR/><BR/>Delhi have won because of a very strong top order and McGraths miserly bowling.<BR/><BR/>Punjab have a very bad captain - Yuvraj has been really bad. But Sanga, Pathan, Sreesanth, Marsh have led them to good wins.<BR/><BR/>Chennai initially won cos of Hayden and Hussey. When they left Chennai lost 3 in a row. Then they won 2 close games cos of Dhoni.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-24238444190367794732008-05-14T18:21:00.000+04:002008-05-14T18:21:00.000+04:00I also agree with Scorpicity the best way to enjoy...I also agree with Scorpicity the best way to enjoy this tournament is to to not Support any team as one good performance can beat an All Star team, the format is too short, one or two players can take away the game from the other team.<BR/><BR/>When the tournament began, I was mostly supporting DC and KKR and I had a fear of Punjab XI, I completely discounted Rajasthan infact I criticized their selection the most besides Banglore on my blog.I think the teams and players are still learning and pretty soon we will see T20 will also have strategies and plans and teams will get selected accordingly.<BR/><BR/>KKR unless they solve their batting issue can't win it all.<BR/>The X factor in this tournament is the good captains, Ganguly,Warne and Dhoni have been excellent captains and we might see their teams in the final four.<BR/><BR/>Delhi has a very good team but Sehwag as a captain is too relaxed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-56159516265860110452008-05-14T17:03:00.000+04:002008-05-14T17:03:00.000+04:00Pleasure John.Where are you where theres no live c...Pleasure John.<BR/><BR/>Where are you where theres no live coverage?<BR/><BR/>Hop on over to the Well Pitched Facebook page - link on right side bar.
