MATCH 2 ||The Warriors vs The Cosmos || EDEN GARDENS

First topic message reminder :



The Supreme Titans smashed the Champions in the opening match of CW Twenty20 Boom and now we are here at the EDEN GARDENS for the second match of the tournament which will be between The Warriors and The Cosmos. Both the teams are filled with loads of international stars.

Players to Watch-out for:

The Warriors -
Chris Gayle - Made 2 50+ scores in the 2 practice matches he played for his then team World Dominators.

Shane Warne - Picked up 8 wickets in a practice match. Phew !!!!! How many tomorrow ?

The Cosmos -
Shane Watson - The 1 Man army from Australia will be the 1 to look out for the Cosmos. With his slogging abilities + his economical bowling, he will be highly valuable for the Cosmos in tomorrows encounter.

Lasith Malinga - What to say about him? The Slinga Malinga has all in him to finish the match in his alloted 4 overs of bowling. Pace , accuracy and YORKERS !!!

PITCH CONDITIONS:
-------------
Pitch Speed(1-10): 7
Pitch Grip(1-10):5
Pitch Bounce(1-10): 8
Pitch Variation(1-10): 5
Pitch Deterioration(1-10): 2

So that looks like a Great Batting surface providing some assistance to the spinners. The wicket will remain the same throughout the match unlike today where the ball was keeping way too low and it was impossible to score runs in the later parts.

Lets have quick glance over team Analysis:
Cosmos Analysis:
Good and strong looking Cosmos
team. Their main weapon is the bowling attack they have got. Steyn,
Malinga and Afridi , well on this track it wont help them much but still
they will try to boil eggs. Bowling at these conditions is just like
cracking an egg with a nail. BAtting as said openers got to play the
role, try to take full advantage of these perfect batting
conditions.Shane Watson is the key with the bat and if he starts scoring
i thing so Cosmos can find it easy clearing the bushes. Surprising
thing was not including Vettori and including Cooper / Mahmudullah for
him. He was a major player though but yes on this track he might not
have made an impact. Sending Afridi at no.3 was surprising too . Every
one was expecting him to come at no.5 orno.6 but the captain maybe
believes that Afridi might score more runs earlier.Its gonna be a
toughie for sure.

Warriors Analysis:
Warriors seem to be quite a
strong team, Their batting their bowling just looking to be too
dominating. Chris Gayle as said before all eyes on his performance as he
will be the key of Warriors batting, If he works no pressure on
Warriors middle order but if he doesn't then Yuvraj and Ab needs to take
control. What seems bad is that maybe sending Tamim earlier could be
better, he is a batsmen who is aggressive and in field restrictions he
could have found gaps really well but Sanga never less, he will be
looking to give the most strike to Gayle in the first six overs and He
should. Shoaib Akhtar and Bond can surely break two or three batsmens
legs with their enormous pace. A real strong bowling , Shoaib and Bond
with an aggressive mentality could take wickets and Warne can stop the
flow of runs for sure.

Well around 10 minutes to go. Sanjay Manjekar has caught Shane Watson On the ground

Sanjay: So Shane , ready for the big match.
Watson: Yeah Sure, we are ready for all sorts of challenges. WE will try to dominate and show our best out of the best.
Sanjay: So hows the track for you.
Watson: The track can be described with the word of beauty for batsmen. I think so of we bat first a total of atleast 180 should be possible and yeah we can take over the opposition on this track too.
Sanjay: What has been ur captain telling to do. Any plans against Gayle.
Watson: Bowling with good lenght and line will surely stop Gayle. The seamers are working hard and surely the wind is there and there might be some swing, so making batsmen struggle is what we will do and the captain has been really frank, helping us alot.
Sanjay: Thank you Shane and best of luck

well it looks the stadium is geared up for a great evening..

Holding: How has it been going with ur team mates. Saw u with Dominators before, U ahd great body language but how is this new team.
Gayle: Warriors i think so is a great team. Great Captain, always helping, coach is always advising and team mates are really co-operative.
Holding: Ready to face Malinga and Steyn.
Gayle: I m always ready for any challenge. As i said before i am here to play for my team and i will try my best to score here and help my team win.
