PHL finalists are almost decided. Orissa steelers with there consistent performance have already in to the final with 25 points from 11 matches. They will be most probably joined by shers.
warriors after arrival of jamie dwayer changed there performance and were hunting for the championship. They had a good team but the game maker was missing and jamie dwayer a aussies import was great in this role. He made moves, created lots opportunities and was certainly the best of the lot. His arrival made warriors look a great team. But his departure unsettled warriors to a great level and they lots yesterdays match against steelers by a big margin. Play makers are extremely necessary in any team.
If we look at the steelers they seems to have a team with not many stars, but they play as a team. Thats there plus point. No ego issues. I always liked dilip's spirit and this PHL made me his fan. He is a down to earth genius. He managed his troops really well. One cannot forget the role played by Mario Almada in this steelers line up. He is as important as Dwayer for warriors.
I think sultans are paying because of bad planning and coaching. Mukesh Kumar should not be made a coach in any PHL again. They have a team of stars but ......
Veerans played well in patches and that its about them ....
Lions seems to be a good side , with coach but there seems to be a ego clash or some kind of problem between there strikers Tushar and Rehan. That clash has killed them , even thou they still have a hypothetical chance to enter the finals.
dynamos were just not a good team
My Awards for this years PHL
Best Team : Steelers
Best Defence : Steelers
Best attack : Shers (Gangan and gang did a tremendous job)
Best Striker / Player : Dwayer ( Even tho he played a few matches , but he has shown the class to every one)
Best Goalie : D'Souza and Salman Akbar
I think PHL in coming years will take Indian Hockey to a great heights and there will be a continuous rise in the followers of the game.
One must thank ESPN for a great telecast and the analysis of the matches .....
