Tally of Runs

Or should I say, Laxman vs Afridi?

Mr Big mouth Afridi earlier opened his mouth again and said that "Gilly, not VVS, should lead Deccan Chargers [Source @ http://www.cricketnext.com/news/gilly-not-vvs-should-lead-deccan-chargers/33814-13.html ]"..

I completely agree with Afridi's views - and, I also believe that Laxman is the poorest possible choice for any T20 game.. However, I can't believe that Afridi said this openly in front of media.. as, its management issue - and clearly not good for team-discipline. Especially when Afridi opened his mouth earlier about targetting McCullum's IPL record, and then failed miserably in the whole tournament - he should just 'quietly' focus on his own form, if wants to earn big bucks again & again.

However, Laxman's response is also interesting [Source @ http://www.cricketnext.com/news/gilly-not-vvs-should-lead-deccan-chargers/33814-13.html ].. Even under Gilchrist, Deccans could rarely produce any match-winning performance, and so can't blame captaincy alone. Noone can deny the fact that winning is the team-effort; even when all teams were filled with many own match-winners.

God help these fake Bulls of Hyderabad, who finished at the bottom of IPL table! With Afridi's complete previous failure at IPL, and on top this stupid comments - I doubt he will play ne more games for ipl.. Gilly/Symonds/Gibbs/Vaas/Styris are good enough & better options for overseas players... And also that I believe that weakest link Laxman will continue as Deccan's captain - where I clearly see that change is required.
