RCB through to Eights.
2 Indian IPL teams now in Super 8. One Aussie.
Tomorrow one more Aussie team would be in the Super 8s. SL and NZ would end their campaign soon.
Character kings would have got some experience in India, so lets see how they play in their upcoming tour to this country.
Uthappa should find his way back to the team in Blue to play his original scoop shot which was hijacked by Dilly Billy.
Great stuff. Robin should play now in place of Yusuf Pathan in the ODIs and prolly in T20s too. Its just 6 months for the T20 WC and for India to regain their title.
Yet another Lanka tour to Bangladesh
Yet another tour to Bangladesh. So Murali is going to skip Australian T20 domestic tourney.
Yeh log nahi sudharenge.
Koi na deshis, dikha do inko u have character and can beat them.
Yeh log bechare garib cricketing nations ki maarte hai and NZ, England ke samne bheegi billi.
Man of the hour
Let me tell you who is not.
No Samarweera or Bug bear…
No Mendis who was huge last year this tem.
No Younis Khan or Boom Boom womanizer.
No Fab Four group member. No Indian either.
Its somebody unfamiliar. Somebody who won the Ashes yet wasnt given the credit. Who was disgraced by every blogger all over the world.
I bet my 10 cents on his team and his team is in the semi finals.
He is Andrew Strauss.
One day he recalls a loser when he was out.
Second day he denies a real hero a runner when he needed the most.
Graeme Smith is second. Angelo Matthews is first.
I would beat the heat out of Strauss for denying Smith a runner.
Smith is a real hero. Forgot his heroics in Sydney last innings ? Out with bat in a broken hand ? Time and again he has been the lone ranger in his team’s wins and defeats.
So the man of the moment is Gream C Smith. Poorna wont like it. But she has to. Real heroes are liked by everybody.
And I noticed my blog isnt so popular in Sri Lanka. I have noticed in google that they say something about me in their local language.
What do i say ? Something which Dancing baby adores :
‘Naan oru thadava sonna nooru thadava sonna mathiri” Sri Lanka s a boring team to watch and so is their cricket in the backyard where no body cheers on boundaries but just a boring band keeps playing….
Raj and Prabhu can decode wot i wrote in the quotes above. Rajanikanth dialouge which says If i say it once, its like saying it 100 times. Lol. That I think would be my punch line of the blog.
Btw, the man of the hour is Graeme Smith for his heroics yet again.
Sri Lanka thumped…..
If Saffas lose today, Kiwis just need to beat England and if they lose, they go in a tussle with the Lankans and Saffas on NRR which they should have edge on the hosts and characterless men now made bare in back to back defeats….
Keep blabbering Sanga Silva and Mahela Jaywardhene.
I am relaxed that this guys now would shut their ass up and go sit in the corner with mouths taped.
And adios to Sanath Jayasurya.
England prevail
One more win to England and they are through to the semis.
Good going lads. Keep it up!!
England with a chance to win the game….
Kandamby is their Bevan and Yuvraj in making. Or even Hussey. The lad is underrated, doesnt speak much about the usual processes in their cricket. Quietly delivers. And thats so kewl. Mahela Jayawardhene, the worst speaker, is back to his scoring spree. Thats how he is keeping his place in the team. Amazing man. This lad had 3 ducks in row against BD and Zim last year in ODIs.
England could still lose this game. If they negotiate the Ms well, they could win it but someone will have to bat through. One of Colly and Straussy would need to do it. England are my favorite team after India and Australia.
Jimmy did fire and Swann didnt. Yet Lankans fell for 212. I wont judge England on their recent 1-6 scoreline against the Aussies. They have to win just 3 more sessions of play and they are through to the semis. I am fancying them and Saffers to reach the semis. If England win today, they would make the group interesting should SL beat Kiwis and England beat one of the Kiwis and Saffas.
Yenjai the game and cherish the wikaats Mendhis and Murali, the Jack do not take.
SL win the first game in lottery
BAW WAW Mendis took 3 wkts or 4 to prove that Saffers cannot play spin. Is Mendis back ? Ask Pakistanis or Indians. Answer aiwai mil jayega.
Unfortunately for Saffers, time wasnt theirs as AB and Dale Steyn said. Mahila, supposedly an abundance character man sparkled once in a million times and his time was today. So the next games now he would be back to his scoring pattern.
Sanga Singh who is now the “aaankho ka dulara” for every sub continental cricket writer (exclude Indians) was among runs too. I havent digged his post match interview. I saw the scoreline in the office on my iPhone and first word i said was “Damn” when SA scored read 4/121 in 21 overs.
A lot of euphoria has been generated around the statements made by Sanga Singh and people call them as mind games. Whatever they are, they are most boring and repititive. He should learn some new stuff before saying the same stuff which in a short is ” We are trying to win every game , have a process and have a long term goals”. Give us a breather man. We aint robots to listen to the same shit every time you open your mouth.
Learn something from Dhoni who would be ruthlessly honest in stunning the team, media and fans by quoting that bowling was bad, batting was good, XX player was fine or bad. Ah man. India boosting. Yup.
Saffers, as Q says are hopeless in multi team tournaments. I believe this is one game SA played with SL after 2003 tie game which kicked them out of the tournament and ended Pollock’s captaincy.
If thats true 6 years and no game in SA. Alright thats true. SL havent toured SA since 2002. Amazing. Have toured Bangladesh 3 times and Zimbabwe 2 times. No wonder they have inflated averages.
South Africa wont be affected that much as they next play England and New Zealand. SA and SL should be good to go to the semis, though I would hope England and NZ show a bit more character in taking out the character out of the SL team.
Sanga and Mahela’s characterstic fixation on ‘character’
It gives me an impression that SL team is richest in character and other teams are studs or sluts
. Almost with no character.
And if you compare this lads’ performance with others then this 2 greats on flat pitches lack character which is shown by ageless Sanath Jaisurya or Dilly Dolly Dilshan or for that matter Kadamby. In my view Mendis, Mahela and Sanga are characterless and useless characters in richly characterstic SL team which has the most interesting caricature in the world cricket — Malinga who also shows a huge character in growing his hair in weird styles, yet he performs. He shows character in giving 81 runs or even 3 or 4 wkts…..
Not the types who puke character and score 1 and get out on a teesra of a chautha grade bowler or get hit wicker
.
I need somebody with huge guts and highest character to show character and put a tape on Sanga / Mahela’s characterstic mouth when they utter character.
Bhaiya Sanga aur Mahila ki maane to baaki sab teams charitraheen hai aur Lanka ki team sushil saumya saubhagyawati team hai.
Lol.
An incredible victory
That should be the end of DK for long time to come unless he doesnt get his boots going. Just like Rohit Sharma.
Alright so GOD scores 44th 100. Rahul comes at 2 and MS comes at 3. Yuvraj at 4.
India go hit 319 for 5 and win a tri0-series final in years. Last one they won………..ahem ahem ahem dont remember. Got it, CB series 2008, their best ever tri-series win after 2002 Lord’s.
Finals jinx resolved. A tight slap to those who say Sachin doesnt play in finals. Go fag yourself. A whacking fatak (Kaminey isshtyle) to those idiots who say Sachin cant score a 100 in a final.
And a note to the critics of Bhajji . He got a 5-for just for 3rd time in his career. First against other team than England and though it was tail enders whose wkts came to Bhajji, it would lessen the chances of Mishra to sneak into the team.
A final well won and a sweet revenge for the humiliating 139 run loss on Saturday. Would like to see the character of Mahela now who has now got 3 failures in the series and SJ got back to runs about whom he had talked something like pressure on him………..Only thing he would keep playing and he wont be thrown out.
And as again Mendis was neutralised and dusted.
Send DK to a fishing party !!
It hurts. Perhaps it would hurt Dhoni and Yuvraj even more than us lesser beings. So we can expect this lads to go all over on the Monday final and win a triseries in years and especially take care of this Angelo Mathews kid.
3 and 16 proves why dancing baby should cool off heels in the hell and not in the middle wherever Blues play and practice. He is a distraction and he is a misfit. A total misfit. I am not sure what he does to the people who gun for him to be in the team.
Alright, he did great stuff in IPL-2, the West Indies misfit tour, but how long he is going to eat the pancakes out of that booty ? He is got to show he belongs to that level, else he should be knocking the doors of those realty TV shows perhaps Big Boss or even Sach Ka Samna that he is a jerk and ridiculous when he steps on to the batting field with all his yawning mannerisms and good for nothing stay in the middle.
Go fish DK.
