Fake IPL Player returns!!
So he decided to change his loyalties to Wayamba and come to India. He also got his good friend and skipper to comment in the T20 league. And what they usually wrote in the newspaper columns or post match presentations is now being uttered in commentary.
FIP is now a Wayamba player and he is Mahela Loserwardhene.
My money for CLT20…
4 days to go.
My money on :
1) Delhi Daredevils : Good platform for VS to get back to the form before the Aussie series. And then further demolition of Mendis and Murali in the series.
2) Royal Challengers, Bangalore : For historical reasons : Seeing Anil lead once more, if he plays. He fell short last time in IPL-2, perhaps playing in home crowd would motivate him to win the T20 award too.
Besides I dont have much info on the foren teams, but I have learnt that one of the teams has 11 international players and many players are from other IPL teams in that foren team. Notably one from KKR, one from Kings XI Punjab. Most prolly he was pissed off on not to have received Preity’s hugs.
Another player supposed to play for that foren team is playing now for Delhi Daredevils, the same man who invented the ice cream Dilscoop shot. By the way he winning the T20 award of the ICC has sent angry signs in Boom Boom’s country.
Dilli would be expected to repeat the heroics of World T20 for Gambhir;s team too. And if he does that the top 3 of DD would read a dangerous look. VS, GG and TD.
Manish Pandey
Mumbai Indians’ loss is RCB gain, the dude played for MUMBAI last season. Today he scores first hundred of IPL-2 (correct me if i m wrong).
Brilliant innings.
The likes of Rahane, Nayar, Takle and Raje Gaje should learn from this lad. Same age group, talent, but the difference in application.
This inning could almost see RCB to the semi final.
Bye Bye Preity. Bye Bye Sreesanth. Cmon Bombay blogger, blog about Pandey….
Semi-finalists and Rameez’s commentary
Saurav Ganguly has seen it all, done it all. Can he do it today ?
A shievering Shiva is down there for us.
A stammering Rameez is sucking us.
MS Dhoni, Mr Kewl. Yeah yeah the same man who beat somebody 4-1 and 3-2 in last 2 ODI series 
Sorry for off the topic. Rameez ‘s verbal potshots. Sounding almost similar to Mbangwa. Huge time, big time, big time, huge time. Mbangwa style.
So the semis are eye wide open. Delhi vs CSK is tempting proposition for final. Batting might of CSK and misfiring Viru and Gauti. Question is who are going to be other 2 ?
1) Rajasthan are 13. If they win against KKR they go 15. Still no guarantee.
2) Deccan Chargers are 14 with positive NRR. 1 game left to play RBC on last day of league games. One win and they are 16. If they lose, they are on brink as well.
3) KXIP have a game against CSK, their final game after today. I fancy CSK. KXIP should win a game to be in race. If they lose they go out.
4) RCB, they have 2 games left. Must win both to get through. DD and DC. Can fancy beating DC. DD are beatable too. I believe they could make it. If RCB win both games they go in. DC depend then on Royals result against KKR, which they should win.
So my pick:
DD
CSK
RR
RCB
Rameez, you are now stinking. Ganguly, subcontinent player finds tough to go in SA, eyes blinking, trying to concentrate on job. He s got lot of nervous energy Siva.
My ass Kameez, did you even know Ganguly’s record in SA ? 2003 success in world cup, 2006 Test series, 2001 tri series. Go check the record mate.
McCullum seems in good nick in chasing 189. Ganguly stuggling and Rameez stinking. Rameez Kameez go away.
Roy’s dismissal.
1) Yuvraj bowls. Roy charges and misses.
2) Sangakara fails to collect the ball and whips the bails off. One bail falls, second stays intact. Till this point Roy is not out and yet to make up to the crease.
3) Sanga collects the ball in 2nd attempt, dives and breaks the stumps. 2nd bail falls. Roy falls short of crease. Sanga and team appeal. Third umpire called in.
4) Umpire ruled him out.
No discrepancy here. 1st attempt the ball fell off the gloves, Roy out of the crease. Not out. 2nd attempt, the 2nd bail falls and Roy is given out.
Fair decision and fair play. Thank God no Mumbai involved else lot of moral dosage and cricket rules would have been dished out on dollar blog.
Wishlist….
Appam is a adopted Punjabi, Sehwag is by birth Jat. So verbals would flow free and unbated. I also wish Sehwag goes out soon. Reverse superstition. You see. Did I mention somewhere that after Saurav and Sachin, Veeru is the man to watch hammering the bowlers. Absolute delight. Whatsoever duration. And the running between wickets is on.
Mahela Speak
“We have enough firepower to win all the games”.
“Every game is crucial”
“We have backed our bowlers. These are good bowlers”.
“She is being with the team. Its great to have support from the Zinta babes. Guys are happy right here.”
Thats Blabba King for you. Captain or no captain, the jargons dont go away. Can somebody from Sri Lanka tell me if this lad has a MBA degree or he is a manager? Manager speak. Say high words, but dont deliver. Only difference bwteeen manager and Mahela is Mahela can score centuries, managers cannot.
I am wanting to have answers. Can somebody answer me for Mahela?
Rameez Raja ‘s Ranjeet moment of the day
When the 2nd wicket for DC fell, Roy came in and Rameez Raja welcomed him with the statement on air while commenting. ” Andrew Symonds played a MATCH WINNING innings of 60 against KXIP on saturday”.
Really? Lost the plot? I thought DC lost it to KXIP when Bret Lee won the game by hitting winning runs and getting Preity di pappiya and jhappiya. It happens mate. When you spend lot of time with Ranjit in the commentary box, you are due to pick some wrong habits. Never mind as long as this is just a slip of tounge. Would ja correct the statement mate?
Delhi DareDevils vs Punjab Kings Update
No McGrath. Why ?
First tactical break now. Sehwag has been in Napier mode for the captaincy. The bowlers he has trusted to get the breakthrough havent been to the mark. They have pitched in too short and that has given free hand to Goel and Bopara to go for runs. 67 runs in 6 overs would mean 150 odd in 12 overs. That would setup a great contest and that would mean the hottest pair (cricket wise) in international cricket would have their task cut out.
And Danny boy strikes off first ball. Bopara gone lbw. Vetts is the best bet for wickets and stopping the runs in T20. In short, the Vetts boy is the best in business for T20. Meanwhile King Sangakara is being troubled by Danny for 2 balls in row. Things seem to be turning now. It would be interesting to see how Yuvraj takes on Danny which most prolly would now happen in 9th over. Spinners have had more success this iPL than fast bowlers. Kumble, Warne, Bhajji, Jaya and now Danny.
Second Innings:
Sehwag and Gambhir are on. No Warner, no McGrath. Delhi batting looks good. Following this 2, there is Dilshan, AB, Tiwary, Karthik (LOL) and Danny boy. First up Pathan and Sanga stands up to the stumps. Will Pathan get some swing and force his way back to this earlier reputation of 2003-05. Now will Gambhir will walk down ? First boundary. Pace is lacking. One more. 9 now in first over. Looking to Sehwag and Gambhir, I rememeber Sholay evergreen song
