Day 2: IPL2- Strategy break may break momentum of the batting teams.

The second day at IPL2 is underway.After the brilliant opening ceremony last night the stage is all set for this season to become a huge success.
The weather Gods seem to be a little angry today.The first match between Kings 11 Punjab and Delhi Daredevils was a little bit of a disappointment. Imagine only 18 overs in all and the first team had 12 and the next team gets just 6 overs with a score of 54 to get(after D/L).Common this is one of the issues of a T20/IPL Game where sometimes I feel the entire potential of the entire team is not exactly tapped to decide the fate of the game. More so in a rain curtailed game.
To be fair in such a rail curtailed match, team batting second does get undue advantage though the Duckworth Lewis is meant to be in lines of the interest of the team batting first. It was surprising to see the playing eleven of the Delhi daredevils with Glenn Mc-Grath and Paul Collingwood sitting on the bench.I wonder if IPL could relook at having 5 international players in one team.Food for thought.
Also another interesting feature has been the 7 and a half minute strategy break after half the no of overs of a sides innings.I think it really broke the momentum for Kings 11 Punjab.Also the fact that Daniel Vettori one of the worlds most intelligent yet underrated slow left arm spinner was given the ball immediately after the break.He was simply immaculate with his flight and line. Commercially very beneficial , lets see what the actual impact of these strategy breaks would be in future matches.
Virender Sehwag did have his hands full when the opening pair was blasting their bowlers away and Daniel vettori simply got them back into the game.Delhi Daredevils seem to have a great team with Sehwag,Gambhir and David Warner the Australian rookie who is all set to become one of the biggest stars of this format of cricket.Their spin department with Daniel Vettori and ably supported with Glenn McGrath they should be a good team to beat.Priety Zinta being such a good actress couldn’t simply control her emotions. Joy,despair,anxiety,happiness she had it all apart from looking gorgeous as usual.
Kings 11 Punjab seem to have a well balanced batting line up. However their bowling line up seems a little wanting.In piyush chawla they have an exciting legspinner but they seem to be lacking is a good bowling allrounder.Sreesanth being injured and Brett Lee being out of cricket for a while they have some catching up to do.No wonder Preity Zinta and Juhi Chawla had their hands full when they were bidding for Mushrafe Mortaza that eventually went to Kolkatta for $600000.
All in all lets wait and watch the Kolkatta Knight Riders vs the Deccan Chargers as I post this.
