Chennai Super Kings campaign on track?

More than the change in personnel, it was the batting order that did the trick for Chennai Super Kings. Badrinath coming in at No.3 with his intelligent batting inducted a new kind of flow.

However as a Chennai Super Kings(CSK) fan, I wish the team management will effect a couple of more changes. Yes, I join other CSK fans in calling for the sacking of Parthiv Patel and Jacob Oram.

Both these players appear overburdened. Parthiv Patel is trier but that is it, he is incapable of imparting dynamism at the top. Same is the case of Oram, he is either unfit or treating his IPL commitment as an all expenses paid vacation. He is doing just what he is asked. However, his presence in the team means Morkel is batting too low and has insufficient time to make an impact.

I suggest that Makhaya Ntini replace the lackluster Oram. Considering that the pitch for today's match is reputed to be fast Ntini may well turn out to be a trump card against the Delhi Daredevils.
