Deccan chargers - The stoppables

All the star power in one team is not doing any good to the Deccan Chargers. Three consecutive matches lost by the Deccan Chargers. I feel that the bowling is too weak and some innovative captaincy is required from the Deccan team to bounce back. Something is just not working for the team even though they play well. The line of loosing and winning is too thin in Twenty20 and the need to be on the side of winning is what one needs to master in Twenty20.

The match between Super Kings and Mumbai Indians also had a thrilling finish. Super Kings held their nerves to notch a victory. The same scene repeats for Deccan Chargers need to defend 17 runs in their last over and Shane warne belts to glory making the chargers as ‘The Stoppables’ compared to their tag line of ‘The Unstoppables’.

Deccan Chargers need some re-org and need to have some good bowling replacement ordered at the earliest. Few things what Deccan chargers may think of doing…

1. Get a good bowler who can bowl along with RP (Wonder who is available from the International arena)
2. Captaincy to Gilchrist
3. Always bat second when it is a good batting pitch as the bowling is weak
4. Bowl smart
5. May be try Nuwan Zoysa for a match instead of Vassy
