Ass on fire : Miandad and Ijaz Butt
Middle finger to you Miandad fuckin asshole. He just sucks. He says that India is not safe to host ICC World Cup 2011. Fuck you Miandad, son of a monkey. Remember 1992 World Cup when he mocked Kiran More.
Lets not count the threat to the state of Pakistan by its own bred Taliban and stuff. Shut your mouth asshole, else we will need to set your ass on fire. Not to forget Ijaz Butt. Burn your butt Butt.
Bangalore Comes of Age
Bangalore finally have come into their own elements. Yesterday they thumped a strong bowling attack of Mumbai by 9 wkts which had 3 international bowlers, 2 of them from India. Not only now they are looking good to reach the semis path, but they are also looking a different team altogether after the change of guard and finally coming of age by Jacques Kallis in his own home turf. KP was clueless in his captaincy and I believe the painful experience of losing England captaincy earlier this year hasn’t left KP totally yet. I didn’t see the game as I was travelling in bus with no TV access, but the omens were visible in the game against Punjab when Anil Kumble himself led the charge in final overs. He was the ODI bowler of 90s when Azhar would throw the ball to him within the first 15 overs and then at the end of innings (2nd or 1st) and expect a wicket. Uthappa managed to get some runs albeit a bit late as he lost out on the opportunity to make it to the World T20 squad. Kallis ’s return to the form would also make him in the reckoning in the spot for SA team for World T20.
Right now Bangalore are hanging at # 4. Some more upsets today would see them go at the top of the table. That won’t be a surprise though, now that Rahul is back too, the team should fancy itself for a semi-final spot. Today’s game is a bit of fancy ride for Chennai. If they win this, they go at the top of the table with 9 points and Bangalore drop to 5. If Deccans win then they maintain their top spot and nothing changes in the standings. The top 4 spots are too crowded and too tight to be in the comfort zone for anybody to sit and relax. Mumbai Indians are suffering for their lack of decisive punch. Harbhajan is out of form and Zaheer is hot and cold. They can’t just win on basis of 3 players – Tendulkar, Duminy and Malinga. At least 4 or 5 players need to fire and one of them big time. Who else than their best batsman. Time is running out for Mumbai Indians. Also need for them to throw out the likes of Takwale, Raje and Kulkarni who at best are liabilities and don’t inspire winning confidence in the team. They have 2 more days to recuperate and go back to the drawing board to reformulate their strategies. And for that Tendulkar will need to drop his anchor role and assume the prima donna role of savage harvester of runs as he is in the international circuit.

Indian squad for World T20
The T20 World Cup defense squad for India doesn’t hold any surprise. All the major elements expected to be in the team have found out a favor of the selectors. Performance or no performance in the ongoing IPL doesn’t matter. I doubt that now how much motivation is to be taken away by the fringe players like Karan Goel, Abhishek Nayar etc. The major stars of the Indian team have not delivered in the tourney and the form of some of the big names is going to be a big worry ahead of the title defense. More so for the skipper, Sehwag and Gambhir. It’s a relief to see no Munafa and no Karthik in the team even though the lad has performed well for Delhi in the IPL. Munaf was waiting to be axed and it is the right step. Uthappa had a chance to be in the reckoning but he messed up with his chances in the first 6 games with Royal Challengers.
Yesterday’s innings came a bit too late. Jadeja, Ojha, Praveen Pehelwan, Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma are the new faces that are in the team from the 2007 team which won the title. The ones to miss out the bus from that team are Agarkar (no longer in national radar), Joginder Sharma (same), Sreesanth (injured or disciplined don’t know. One can still find him break dancing in the KXIP dug out) and Uthappa.
The starting XI could well be:
Sehwag
Gambhir
Raina
Yuvraj
Dhoni
Sharma
Pathan Y
Harbhajan
Pathan I / Ishant
Zaheer Khan
RP Singh
RP Singh was the most deserved entrant after an impressive show in the first 6 games of IPL for Deccan. Based on the current form the semi-finalists would be India, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.
Identity for Fake IPL player.
Fake IPL player would disclose his identity on last match day of KKR i.e. on 20th May 2009. The date can’t get funnier than this. He also suggests he would retire from all forms of the game after IPL. Who bothers except knowing his identity. I have arrived on one. It can be wrong only if the bloggie turns out to be from the support staff or the owner himself, to which I don’t lay any claim. One thing for sure, next IPL season (if) we won’t see KKR, even if we see then we won’t see Sourav a part of it. I think he had enough of Aussie mess with him and enough of muscle pulling from entities that know little of the game called cricket which the proud lad has been playing since 1987. For now the only interest in KKR team is how many matches they lose without a fight and whether Brendie McCullum would ever captain any other team in the future? And of course who is this Fake IPL player (I know who he is, but then I need confirmation J)

Sach is the power of 10
Homer wishes MI win 10 on 10 games. Absolutely fuckinwesome idea but only when the 10 bats for long long time may be forever. Here is what I said
10 in 10 wins and runs from 10's bat. that is 10some delight. even after 2*10 years of watching this phenomenon the 10some and 10ful delight just doesnt stop!
go 10!! My life runs full throttle when 10 bats and comes to a standstill when 10 gets out. Sach is the power of 10. Ever since 2 * 10 years when this 10 blowed away the likes of 10th grade pass Abdy Qadir and Qar Younis (not Khan).....his magic is just increasing 10 fold every time......

Match 25 and 26 updates
Victory of Rajasthan Royals has made the IPL interesting. And Soopher Queens would make it even more intriguing. That would mean that the top 2 wud have lost 2 games each. That would put some more pressure tomorrow on Mumbai Indians against the Bangalore Royal Challengers who are on a revival path with a proud Indian coming back to lead the side.
Shane Warne the wily old fox needs to return to the Aussie fold for their most obsessed fight with the Poms :) Aussies need Haydos and Warney.
From Indian team perspective only RP Singh, P Ojha, Suresh Raina have come good (T20 team). Failure of skipper, Gautam Gambhir and Ishant Sharma would be a cause of concern!!!
BTW Yousuf Pathan is loving the Safari!!!

Yousuf Flip Flop
Yousuf Youhanna's flip flop on ICL or Pakistan has begun again. This is funny in fact. ICL says they have released him temporarily. Younis says he has resigned permanently. Another court battle beckons. I find it funny. In a moment he goes to ICL, then comes back, then goes again and then comes back. Bhaiya Pakistan ke liye itna hi prem hai, to why did you go in first place ? Not just once but 2 times? Selfish motives.. Differences with Malik first and now jab apna yaar Younis captain hai, to ghar wali baat ho gayi :)
Things cant get interesting than in Pakistan and Knight Riders :)
IPL at an interesting stage
Bangalore Royal Challengers have turned the table around and have made IPL a bit interesting at this stage. Right now Delhi and Deccan seem sureities in the semis. Mumbai Indians led by greatest batsman of all times should be the 3rd team if they get over on and off performance. They now have an in condifence bowler Hazeer Khan. The fourth team would be one of the Punjab, Bangalore or Chennai Soopher Kings.
Kolkata have been an embarrasment. Barring Ganguly they have nobody worth a mention. And with retreat of Gayle, they look even thinner.
Kumble's leadership seems to have put some fighting spirit in Bengaluru team. May be its too early to say, but here is man with pride and excellence to demonstrate the leadership with an example. Out of the captains leading this IPL only the golden oldies who have stamped their authorities over the years have been the performers. Look at Gilly, Tendulkar , Warne and Kumble. Except Yuvraj to an extent for Punjab, the others have been a flop show. More so for Dhoni, Sehwag, Pieterson and McCullum.
Few more upsets and the battle for top 4 would be intriguing. A royals win and a Chennai win would further complicate the combos. Thats what we want :)
