Super Sunday ends with Super Over

Well what can I say, I was having a rough day till 7 pm but suddenly the luck changed. First ManU won against Liverpool & went on the top of league table & then Chelsea drew, giving ManU lead of 1 point with ManU Vs Chelsea @ Old Trafford yet to happen. And then the best match of IPL 3; Kings XI registering their 1st win of this season with a come from behind win in a super over. CSK were cruising till the time Raina ran himself out & Kings XI started turning the tide. A special mention here for Theron the lanky South African bowler; who bolwed with good aggression & kept a tight leash on CSK. Has Kings XI got a replacement for Lee, too soon to tell. This was one match where CSK missed Dhoni's finishing abilities & showed why Parthiv Patel is rated as a very poor cricketer. He could have easily chased down the score with singles but tried to do a Haydos & result a tied match.

Super Over: I am not a very big fan of this format as it is unfair to the bowler who will bowl that over for his team. In IPL 1 Mendis paid the price & this time around it was the turn of Murali. Haydos couldn't manage anything with his special 'Mangoose' & CSK set 10 runs for Kings XI to chase. Sending Jayawarenda to face Murali was the best decision Moody took & it paid rich dividend when he hoiked him for a six but then Jaya made a blunder & did a parthiv patel. Yuvi had to finish things off but he was like a fish out of water against Murali; but soon sense prevailed & with unorthodox cricket Kings XI got their frst win of IPL 3.

Can they sustain this momentum & make this IPL interesting; lets wait & watch...
