Attitude is the key to success

And it showed on how MS and how YS gave the interviews to Rameez in the post match presentation. YS was one who groaned and had no mannerisms whatsoever, MS was grace maximised. Candid as ever, unambiguous as ever. No wonder CSK is thriving under it now and India ever since he took over....

Way to go MS...

No place for regional attitude in Indian cricket

In India some people still suffer the quota or regionalistic attitude when it comes to cricket. Tamil players not selected or Mumbai players being preferred when a Mumbai skipper was captain kinda talks are so common in India. Cynicism and jingoism are at its best when cricket is being discussed in India. Everybody knows the game more than the selectors and the poor jokers are always trampled by the so called experts.

Unfortunately this age REGIONALISM doesnt hold any place in Indian cricket. Dilip Vengsarkar tried to do it but he wasnt successful. Srikanth tried to stuff in his Tamil players in the team but nobody succeeded. Badrinath was automatic replacement for every injured player in 2008 in Srikanth era as was Rohit Sharma during Vengsarkar era. Chennai, Mumbai.

Why do we need to give regional boundaries to CRICKET in India. It stumps me. And then few jingoist bloggers who blindly support a team and trample others (Mumbai supported, others trashed) leave a bad taste in the mouth. Sourav Ganguly changed the mindset of the Indian cricketing setup, unforutnately the public mindset couldnt be changed.

Mantra according to me is perform and earn your place. Doesnt matter if you hail from Mumbai or Morena or Madurai or Delhi or Dehradun or Andaman...Jingoism, cynicism and regional feudal mindset just doesnt have any place in modern day Indian cricket. The days of Raj are over and so are feudal days.

No wonder supporting the pan Indian mindset has shooed away all the commenters on this blog. Regionalism wins. Go find blogs which whine on Mumbai or Tamil Nadu, they would have all comments, not this one. Fuck who bothers about comments.

Dont loose it Aussies!!

Aussies struggling at 9/107 at only T20I against Pakistan should ensure that they dont lose it. Go bonkers, bowl yorkers, bowl bouncers, but win the game for fuck sake. For my pride's sake.

Appam Hammered!!!

Can somebody ensure we dont see him anymore swearing on opposition batsmen ? I loved Appam being hammered by Haydos. Should have been hit for 6 sixes and then a Bhajji like tight slap down his cheek. Fuck he irritates big time. He is a disgrace.


BTW whatta batting by Chennai Super Kings. So sad that the local lads of Chennai flopped and then Northie MS and Aussie Haydos played rockin innings. All for who said Badrinath is a bright star of Indian cricket. First ball duck to Pathan at his slowest speed.

Bopara Ton

eventually shuts down Vaughan and Bell's Ashes dreams. Still England looks a weak team unable to get through the # 7 ranked Test team. So its futile to expect that they would get past # 1 team...

Mumbai Indians vs Deccan Dischargers LIVE!!

Whatta start to the Mumbai Indians. Opening partnerships have been the key for DC in their first 4 games. No strong opening partnership, they lose. So today is one of those days? May be, i wont complaint. I want Sachin Tendulkar to lift the IPL. No Zaheer today. He is out injured. Bad signs for India's crown defence. Poor fielding. Suman hits a four to bowler whom I suspect is Dhawal Kulkarni. Kallu Siva is out in the dug out. He is crap. Dhawal Kulkarni, a fast bowler. LORTFL. 130 max is his speed. He would be bludgoned by attacking batsmen. Interesting to see how he takes on Adam, the baap of all wktkeeper batsmen.

Meanwhile Fidel Edwards is rocking England after his super show in IPL for DC. England tottering at 4/182 at Tea, day 1. Bhajji is on. To Gilly. Back to Lord's Test, KP got his golden duck, may be first in his career. Prior, the jelly bean king and Bopara, the latest Preity's huggie baby are resisting Edwards show. Lage raho. Preity would send in more pappiya and jhappiya from SA for Bopara.

By the way back to IPL, Suman hits Bhajji for a six. Faster ball. One more. 30/1 in 5th over. I dont care how Mumbai local lads perform or even Surya or Bravo or Nayar perform. One more six. Round the wicket and off goes Suman. Kid is having fun at the expense of a bowler who has got 330 Test wkts and 8 IPL wkts, and hit one idiot a tight slap. Bravo is in. Well this game is at Centurion. The same venue where Tendulkar murdered Pakistan in the WC'03 game that shut Pakistan out of the world cup forever. That six to Younis, that six to Shoaib Akhtar, boy orgasmic pleasure. Can Ten hit few more tonight ?

Back to the game, Bravo almost got SUman. and now he gets him. Huge wicket. 2/37 in 6. Fashion guy Rohit Sharma comes in. He is a Mumbai man. A suburb man. Borivali(W) resident. He is touted to be next Tendulkar. hahahaha. Bravo has got good start. Sach is shuffling his bowlers well.

DC 2/37 in 6. Bhajji back to Gilly. Interesting to see how Sharma plays Bhajji. I would fancy Bhajji get Sharma. Shiba is saying Gibbs and Suman have not taken out their pads. Cos they are disappointed on score so far. But Dhakkan Shiva, how come Gibbs and Suman would increase the scorecard? They are dismissed. So they wont be coming out to bat again. No batsman on crease is injured, so no runners. Huge six by Gilly and then a lbw appeal. Doosra. Not illegal one. 2/46 in 7.

Rohan Raje the joker is on. Another dibbly bodly wobly bowler. Doesnt Mumbai have any genuine pacer? Is it short of bowling resources? Are this tweakers like Rohan Raje or Dhawal Kulkarni the future of Mumbai cricket? Ass. Six. 100 kmph, Sharma hits Raje to a six. Why the hell is Raje playing? BTW Rameez Raja is back commenting. Welcome to the INDIAN premier league sir. Raje dives after the ball passes him. 2/56 in 8 overs. Gilly is in for big score. He is playing anchor. Would be fun to see him go aafter bowling in later overs. Dharmsena is the umpire. ROTFL. Great fielding by Harbhajan pappe.

Deccan are losing the plot. 2/59 in 9. Rameez gets age of Surya wrong. 37 in place of 39. Appeal for runout, not headed. Freaking hell. Raje gets Gilly. Ah man. Shameful to see Raje getting Gilly. Ahh SRK ad. Go off dude.

3/63 at TACTICAL AD TIMEOUT. Chances of rain in 2nd innings. 4/118 in 17th over. 150 should be the target. Pity that Sharma didnt hit Kulkarni out of the attack. Jaya bowling still good at his age. Deccan have no specialist spinner as Ojha is injured (3rd one of Team India). Lankan slinga is back. And whatta catch.......Dwayne Bravooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Orgasmiccccccccccccc.....Sharma gone. Chuck gets a wicket. Not Murali, but Slinga Malinga. You beauty!!!! 6/145. Not bad given the start Deccans got. Tendulkar needs to fire and i m waiting with holded breath!!! Go Sachin go!!!

Mumbai Indians are back to batting. Rameez Raja is commenting as if its a debut game for Tendulkar in the world cricket. Boy in this age too, he runs like a heir or hare. Off goes Jayasurya. 4 off 5th ball. 6/0 in 1. 140 to win in 19 overs. Tendulkar to face RP now. Jayasuriya gone. Damn!!!!!! RP strikes. Good catch by Harris. Pinal Shah comes in and Sachin is gone. RP bowls him. Biggest wicket of his goddamn career. Off goes the live post. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn............

Delhi go on top

Delhi Daredevils showed their daring and jumped to the top of the points table after a crazy victory over embarrasing Riders. They were joke today. Fielding, bowling and batting. What was Ganguly doing in the team? Why wasnt he asked to bat and bowl? Whats he upto? Another conspiracy theory against him? Isnt he the most experienced of the lot in KKR? I hate to write this and again. Catches were dropped lke millionares.

Only good thing out of this farce was Gambhir got some runs in his belt and thats a good sign for Daredevils in the tourney. Play the tournament with 7 teams. We would get close games.

KKR are disgrace to the spirits of cricket (read management and owner).

Fake IPL player drops a catch!!

Fake IPL player who has got a game today just dropped a catch of Gambhir off Ishant Sharma....I feel pity for Brendon McCullum. He is a wonderful cricketer. And Buch and SRK have dished out a ridiculous team to him!! I hope he and Sourav drop off the IPL asap.

Ranjith Fernando rants in full flow.

Ranjith Fernando is in full song today. Lot of screams, no copy pastes, no tounge in cheeks, no repeat of fellow commentators comments, lot of DLF maximums, lot of shots down the boundary.

Poor Shastri outcommented today. He is just quiet. But one good thing he is doing. He is not playing a Ranjith today. That is, he is ignoring Ranjith's rants and going on altogether DLF tracks.

KKR showing good game today. Ridiculous not to find DADA at 1,2,3 or 4. I just wish he fires in all games and KKR lose all games. I dont bother how KKR fares, but repo of DADA shouldnt be affected, else I would think to sue KKR owners. And give the money i would get to Ranjith to work on his oratory and commenting skills.

Fake IPL is quiet!!

Fake IPL blogger has been toned down, no more scathing comments, no more insults, no mention of Lordie, gives doubts that its Lordie's creation (one of the comments here). RIdiculous. But hunt for him has gone up. Lot of googling around. He hasnt got a game in today. Somebody claims its Rohan Banerjee. Not sure if he is too literate to know about blogspot. Arindam Bose has no snap on the profile. Fixing?
