Baz Woes

leave a comment »

Baz just doesnt get seem to get rid of the Buchanan curse. His IPL’sque form continues in T20 too. Whatta a slide for the man who set the IPL rolling with a 73 ball 158 in first ever iPL game.

KKR sack Buchanan.

leave a comment »

End of Buchanan. End of management in cricket. May be next year it would be plain cricketing stuff. Simple tactics. Bat vs ball. Mind vs Mind.

Perhaps relief for Buch too, India or anything Indian is never good for him. He never could win a series against India comprehensively as against other teams. He could never succeed in IPL.

End of agony for KKR. How much that translates to turnaround of its fortunes in IPL-3 if it survives would be interesting to watch.

Fancying Kiwis and India

with 4 comments

Kiwis love blue. They have a boogie over blues. Indian blues. Let the Kiwis see Indians in Srilankans, for they also wear blue. They also have yellow patch on their dress. That is something Australian. So Kiwis have enough motivation and reason to go beat SL and go to Semis, their most obvious place in ICC tourneys (except 2003, they have gone in Semis of every world cup)…..

McCullum was skipper of Mendis in KKR days and he didnt play much, so who is gonna take revenge? As of now blabba king and Sanga having a ball in the middle. I bet my money on Kiwis. And on battered and bruised Indians in the game later today. But in the longer run, I fancy Saffers to unchoke and win the tourney to cap off an excellent season for them. Choke today, not later. Lose today, win later.

as for Indians, win today and win always to slap the critics and the ass media back home. Heal your bruised ego by thumping the to be champions and make Micky repent on his comments that we are team of individuals who play for ourselves. Just do it guys. Sensible Indians are with you.

FIP discloses himself.

with 9 comments

FIP is not a cricket player, neither he is SRK, neither he is a local Indian player. He is a fucking journalist who must have had some insider info and then posted on a blog with intentions to get some cheap publicity.

From his accent he is not an Bong, he is a Bollywood journo with some fucking intentions to spoil the game of cricket. He seems to speak good Hindi and he knows Bollywood stuff. So imho he must be some fly on the wall who attends and follows the SRK.

He ends his RIP speech with KANK. He must be a die hard SRK hater or a lover.

WHatever he was, he has left Cricket bruised and hurt with the unproved allegations of match fixing. He began with pretending himself to be unaware of blog technology (he said he wasnt sure of how to post visitor count) , then as a sidekick player who hasnt got a talent or 2 to play a game or get a game. Yeah right, how can a sick Bollywood journo get a game. He nicknamed all players, he ripped them apart and then his language went on changing. From naive to a smart jackass.

I just wish he is flushed out whenever he is unearthed. I doubt if his identity ever would come across. And if it comes, he wont be alive for long. He might have earned lot of enemies. For sure SRK would be after this thug.

Fuck FIP. Disgrace. I just hope today ownwards FIP wont be mentioned in the traditional cricket. He might be discussed in the “social circuit” by the party hoppers, but thats not what bothers me. I just wish this kind of negative blogging doesnt become a fad for every Test series or a major tournament.

Royals out of the tournament.

with 3 comments

Local Indian lads kicked Mumbai Indians out of the IPL 2. And the local Indian lads do it for Rajasthan Royals it too. 4 runs in last over. A single off first, 2 of the next for a misfield and one more off he 3rd ball sends Royals out of the IPL.

An underrated ex Indian player and a something who could be kapil dev but who couldnt be even a Jimmy player do it for Kolkata. KKR would go with some pride, but they would need to look up for their team selection for next season 3. They got to answer why Langveldt wasnt played who made all the difference today. Most probably no Aussie coach, support staff and perhaps no Ganguly too.

Selection errors for RR, dropping of Smith (not sure if he was injured / dropped), poor batting performance and then poor fielding by Indian lads throw Warne magic out of the IPL. Warne joins McCullum and Tendulkar in the list of ousted captains.

Now all depends on the next big game : CSK vs Punjab. CSK favorites but for their poor bowling and even poorer fielding. I hope they dont play Balaji any more.

Balaji dheere chalna!!

leave a comment »

Damn. Whatever it is, Balaji must play no more games in the remainder of the tournament. He is ridiculous. Bowling either full tosses or juicy half volleys. 4 full tosses. 19 runs off the over. Why so blind faith in slow low Balaji? He is past force. Look beyond him. 40 off 3 overs. MS would be furious.!!

And finally KKR win something. Relief for a disgraced team. Somethin finally. Something.

650000 dollars go down the drain

with 11 comments

$650,000 are worth 24 runs in final over and a match lost from winning stage. More disgrace to an already disgraced state….

Steve Waugh for KKR ?

leave a comment »

Fake IPL player suggests in his blog that next year Steve Waugh would be part of KKR either as player or a coach. Dont know if this is true.

“Talks are on with another former Aussie player with very close ties with our city even as I write this. It seems bringing him on board will help assuage public anger. Also, Sticky has backed the idea of bringing him on. Which also means that Lordie may have no role to play next yr given his own relations (or the lack of it) with the new Messiah being brought in.”

Steve Waugh with Udayan. Thank God he has got no nick name as Pedophile Gilly or Sticky Ricky Ponting Something.

FIP is nothing more than sensationalism. He doesnt mention in his blog that if he got a game or not. That strengthens my hunch that the FIP is no body but Ghosh babu himself. Ki bolbo Ghosh bobu?

KKR !!

leave a comment »

KKR are a disgrace now. Nothing works for them. As a batting team and fielding team. IF batting clicked, the bowling let them down. Ishant Sharma’s form concerns me. He has been off color and thats bothering given the assignments ahead. KKR should seriously consider withdrawing from the IPL this season and not demoralize the players who also play for national teams. FIP is useless, he would make few more sensations and then fizz out.

FIP gets a game. Messes it up

with 12 comments

Fake IPL player gets a game today, comes at # 3 ahead of David Hussey, makes a mess of the rare chances, goes out for 7.

Now dude you got a game. Now shut your shit up and lay dormant sideways. You should be making high noises only when you perform.
