The IPL Of Delhi Vs Chennai Final Match 2012

At the beginning of the IPL season, every Delhi Daredevils press conference seemed to have two major themes  the strength of their newly acquired batting line-up and the seeming weakness of their nice spin bowlers.

The batsmen and the pacers acquitted themselves more often than not through the league phase, taking them to the top of the table, but the spin question returned to haunt them against team Kolkata Knight Riders in the first Qualifier match on a slow pitch in Pune.

Kolkata team packed their XI with three spinners plus the slow-medium pace of player Rajat Bhatia, and the extra pace of Delhi's fast bowlers work out to the advantage of player Gautam Gambhir's side.

Now, in the knockout match against two-time defending champions Chennai Super Kings 2012 looming on Friday, skipper player Virender Sehwag and the Daredevils think tank must be in a quandary whether to stick to their strength or bring a second specialist spinner into the line-up.

While there are risks in picking unproven talent witness player Theo Walcott's inclusion in England's 2006 World Cup squad Oxlade-Chamberlain has done enough in his short career to suggest that his selection might pay off. Used sparingly by Arsenal this game season following his transfer from Southampton, the 18-year-old demonstrated frequent flashes of precociousness in his 16 first team appearances.

A sparkling nice  performance for Arsenal in their 3-0 Champions League win over AC Milan in February persuaded England manager Roy Hodgson that the attacking midfielder deserved a place in his squad.

Hodgson is adamant that player Oxlade-Chamberlain's selection will not be a repeat of Walcott's ill-fated sojourn in Germany six years ago, when the teenager never kicked a ball during England's campaign game.

At last times, the frustration showed, and for more than getting nice caught in the middle of player Danny Granger's phony-tough-guy routine or Lance Stephenson's choke task. As you sit court side, the do-something glances to the Erik Spoelstra are undeniable. Not because there is best a player-coach rift, or even unease between the two, but because of what player James had been surrounded with since the first half of the first game of this series, when player Chris Bosh was sidelined with a lower-abdominal strain.
