Deccan Chargers

The fat laughing heads have had enough

April 7, 2010

What is that they say about too much of a good thing? When I was working as a cricket writer, my favourite thing to do when a result didn’t go my way was to cry: “match-fixing”. I’ve been doing that for every single Deccan Chargers game since they seem to have lost the plot. I [...]

Deccan lose….again.

April 2, 2010

I think I only watched about 20 minutes of the game (that’s a lot of cricket for an IPL contest) and all I have is one big sigh. Deccan are becoming increasingly like Arsenal FC – all the talent but just seemingly lacking any sort of desire to follow through or make it count for [...]

A Performance worth forgetting

April 1, 2010

Inter Blog IPL Battle Deccan Chargers vs Mumbai Indians – DY Patil Stradium(DC) With three wins in five games, Deccan seemed restless before they faced Mumbai, knowing that a loss could change things drastically for them. Dropping points against Kolkata was not the wise thing to do first up. Mumbai were formidable as always, but [...]

Deccan continue their slump

March 29, 2010

I’ve been really slack with posting and despite promises of “I’ll post something soon” I just have not had the time. That and my internet at home has been capped. This weekend was not a good weekend for Deccan Supporters. Losing to Rajasthan was cringe-worthy and the game against Mumbai on Sunday was no different. [...]

Deccan win with style, well almost

March 21, 2010

Interblogactic IPL Battle Deccan vs Punjab, Cuttack (home game) I know this is almost in the nick of time, but you got to do what you got to do. Deccan played the low in confidence Punjab team at Cuttack, and were pretty confident of the result. Which is what finally happened, but it was closer [...]

Who let the mongoose out?

March 15, 2010

Matty Hayden seems to be one disturbed guy after today’s game. As disturbed as a guy is after he as committed to a girl he doesn’t love but is in it only for perennial pleasures. Everything was going great till the point the dreaded phone call came. Haydos was chilling with his mates down under [...]

Deccan step it up…

March 15, 2010

…against a remarkably average Chennai. I must admit, after Friday I was concerned. I thought Chennai were a pretty good team. Having the captain of India in your side probably adds to your intimidation level. I was worried nonetheless. But Deccan managed to find their balance as the batsmen sparked and the bowlers followed up. [...]

Deccan Chargers lose for a change

March 13, 2010

Interblogactic IPL Battle – Deccan Chargers’ Perspective Deccan Chargers vs. Kolkata KnightRiders – DY Patil Stadium The Opening Ceremony would be better off if it were not described. With not-so-happy memories of the ritualistic ceremonies of previous seasons, all one could do was hope. Hope one did, and it got shattered. The only reprise would [...]

A chip off the old blog…

March 12, 2010

I am aware of the fact that this is a cricket blog. But when I signed up Paddle told me that I can make it my blog. And I used to write about footie on my blog. Some times. I am also aware of the fact that there are bigger things happening in the world [...]
