Adam Gilchrist all praise for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Lawson-Miller-c53037 and Sandeep Sharma – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 skipper, is delighted with his team’s recent performances in the sixth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and understands that his franchise still possesses a slight chance to qualify for the play-offs.
Kings XI defeated http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils last night by seven runs in the 67th fixture of the current season at Dharamsala to remain in the race to make it to the last four.
Delhi won the toss and opted to bowl first on a batting track. The decision did not turn out to be the right one as Gilchrist and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SE-Marsh-c2470 were off to a brilliant start, scoring 60 runs for the first-wicket partnership. Punjab scored 171 runs for the
loss of four wickets in their allotted 20 overs, with Gilchrist, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-James-Marshall-c90362 and David Miller making handy contributions.
In reply, the Daredevils fell short of the target by seven runs. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sandeep-Sharma-c88505 was the pick of the bowlers, grabbing three scalps after conceding 23 runs in his quota of four overs.
While expressing his views in the post-match presentation ceremony, the former Australian wicketkeeper/batsman praised the performance of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Miller-c76318 and Sharma. Gilchrist feels that Miller has emerged as a world-class batsman in the current season; whereas,
Sharma has a bright future ahead of him.
“Slight chance yep, watch with interest what happens next couple of days. There's no better place to play cricket in the world than this, it's a beautiful place here,” said the Kings XI captain. “Miller's come off age this season, the world now knows his
value. Not surprised with Sandeep's success, he's aggressive and you want to keep an eye on it.”
Miller, who was named as the Player of the Match for scoring an unbeaten 44 off 24 balls, said that the key to his success was hitting the ball straight.
“Enjoyed hitting the straighter six more than the others. It's a small ground here and if you can hit hard enough, the mis-hits can go for a six too. In nets, try and practice as close as possible to the game situation,” expressed the South African left-handed
batsman.
