Well first let me congratulate you and your team for 2009 IPL champs. Great going, DC truley deserved it atleast this year. For DD, i can say this much we will be back, we got out played in the semis by gilly not so much by DC. but nevermind thats how it goes in 20 20. never the less we will see you in the champions league. Hope there we two and in the finals and we can have our sweet revenge :) Enjoy you victory good luck

Goodluck to DC for the finals....Hope to see a good contest.

But i'm sure you would have liked a DD-DC final...Maybe next year.

Well Nijas,
i definitely remember my words & whatever i said is still a FACT.

You did say DC will win semis but you also said that before in the league phase...you were twice wrong; once right...So whats the big deal?
DD played well after the first over BUT one man Gilly won the game, the rest didn't do much...

And when someone of Gilly's stature says this:"Tonight this was the most important knock of my life. I think I just pulled it out in a big match situation not only in the World Cup (2007) final but also here. Back then I knew I had Punter (Ricky Ponting), Symo (Andrew Symonds) and others to follow, but today since we were chasing, I wanted to finish it off. In T20s it is by far my best knock"

I can only take my hats off...Great Guy. DD was the better team in the semis against DC but it was Gilly's day...Well done, i have no issues since he is my favourite alltime keeper.
Atleast it took a lifetime knock from Gilly to stop us...Thats a big achievement....Not many teams can boast of that.
Hard Luck for us, but it was great to watch Gilly(such a knock is very very rare in T20).
Superb! But be sure we will be back next year...Since we are the two-time semi-finalists->maybe next time we will go one step closer.

Hello nijas,
I too feel like that Harmet Singh is lucky charm for DC ad should be played inall the remaining matches i.e. Vs RC Semi and the Final

21 needed off the last over. Kolkata have the clear advantage here. Mashrafe to bowl
19.1 Mashrafe Mortaza to Sharma, (no ball) FOUR, Rohit's taken four of those, full toss on middle, pulled away to the deep square-leg boundary, called a no-ball by the leg umpire as there are only three fielders in the ring, what a slip up, drama right at the death. McCullum isn't happy, but if there were just three inside the circle, the call is a right one. The Kolkata captain is disputing the decision, and continues arguing with the umpire, but the decision's been made. It's a no-ball, that's final. An extra ball conceded. How costly will it prove?
19.1 Mashrafe Mortaza to Sharma, 1 leg bye, misses out, full just a fraction outside off, moves across to paddle it fine, is it on the pads, just a run
19.2 Mashrafe Mortaza to Venugopal Rao, 1 run, a scare there, full and wide, made room to cream that through the covers, got a thick outside edge that landed on the bounce to third man, just a single
14 off 4
19.3 Mashrafe Mortaza to Sharma, SIX, meaty, juicy full toss on middle, the worst ball you can bowl under the circumstances, heaved away over midwicket for a massive six, what a timely blow, 8 off 3 now, 115 metres that, one of the biggest of the tournament
8 needed off 3. Doable, what a slip-up. The ball's lost, and they're getting a replacement. Nice, hard thump that. All's sorted. Here it comes. Rohit's ready to face.
19.4 Mashrafe Mortaza to Sharma, 1 wide, wide, Mashrafe, what the hell are you doing? Hurls it well wide of the offstump, Rohit lets it go wisely and the umpire frees his arms
7 off 3
19.4 Mashrafe Mortaza to Sharma, 2 runs, full and wide, swatted down to long-on, scampers back for the second, Rao runs well to finish the run
5 off 2
19.5 Mashrafe Mortaza to Sharma, FOUR, four, four, four, Mashrafe has spoilt it for Kolkata, full and wide, makes room and carts it wide of a diving cover to beat long-off to the boundary
1 needed off the last ball. Scores level. Can Kolkata salvage a super over here? Here it comes. Hold your seats. A short cover, a short fine
19.6 Mashrafe Mortaza to Sharma, SIX, it's all over, short on middle, pulls it away well over the fine-leg boundary to seal a thrilling victory, can Kolkata ever win?

Hi Nijas, i will be more than happy if you guys bounce back and reach the semis, and wish luck to DC to do so. Also hope to meet you in the semis. Hmm .. on a completely different note a fact for you : delhi has never lost to DC

Hey dude don't ever forget:

DD has beaten DC all 4 times in the history of the IPL...So REMEMBER THAT!

DC has never beaten us!

But atleast DD didn't RUN as you were saying before...we kept fighting & LUCK always favours the brave.
We survived Gilly & Symmo onslaught & finished the game well...it was a better team effor from DD.

Also luck wanst the only factor .. its called playing well under pressure ... for your info this is not the first time DC have chocked at the last hurdle... Delhi has remained calm no matter the situation .. and thus they are where they are ... Hope to see you guys in Semis that is if you can make it...
