IPL 5

Its not a win, its the way one’s win! Pune have to reach CSK standard… wait make its own SIVAJI Standard

Pune has won… Dada has won. But wait! Last time also Pune won the first two game sand then everything went down form there. But that was last year and a memory.

In these two games the team is wining, and has been led from the front by S.G aka Dada. In the last game i felt that the combinationwas not right and some tweak is needed. I had expected Tamim and Ryder to open…. ok Ryder and Dada looks ok for now. Ryder can be dangerous when he gets his confidence and DADA gave him overs to ball to get his game going. For Dada one knock of 40+ in quick time will get his guns firing again for the tournament. This will happen.

The turning point of the game was the 19th over in PWI innigs which wnet for 25 runs…. something crazy that over. If Pakistani was bowling that over, some section would say spot fixing…. who knows?

Another news… Nehra came back, it’s a weak link in field and batting, but is able to bowl to some length. This will be tested against teams like CSK. So this weak link has to be tackled. And if Pune has to make an impact in the IPL5, then they have reach CSK standard.  One of the strengths  coming out from Pune Warrior side is the bowling. They have variety and not all guns have been used till now.  Mr Ice Man has been a revalation, and hope the becomes colder with time 🙂

The road is still long ahead…. but it may the IPL of the undergods – Dada and The Wall, both out to prove a point. RR is also making its own sweet story by defeating and crushing KKR comphrensively. KKR still not getting in the Bangla lion, at their own peril. Well… hope they learn that and introduce him. It will give them some spine which their captain seems missing. If there are 2 more defeats… there will be infighting in their camps reminescent of IPL2, and the multiple captain theory.

Har team mein ek gunda chaiye… correct, but team mein Captain bhi chaiye. and my fellow scorpion was …. Pstttt…. was caught smoking in a public place  check this like: http://twitter.com/#!/kvpops/status/188985127668432897/photo/1 and the photo is   her. See how Mr Happy is may be trying to caution him that he is on TV. Public smoking is banned in India. May be for KKR management Stadium is personal home. Well if it was Eden garden then may be… but will someone take action. No need… SRK is god!

Till then…. SRK can only say… chalo paint karo!

And another observation, the CKS non owner our Mr Satyanas… was in TV for a moment, just a moment and the camera zoomed off like he had given instruction not to focus. I don’t know… I just speculate.

To Sum it up from a twitter account: No one can replace Dada even if he scores Zero in all 16 matches. Once a Gangulian always a Gangulian.

PWI Weakness: Complacency… got to tighten it…. Come on Warriors. Jai Maharashtra.

Dada – Showed why multiple captain theory of KKR Buchanan was stupid!!!!!

/ clarkprasad / Leave a comment

They said they were the underdogs….

They said he did not have chance….

All called for his retirement…

His home team did not pick him up!

Well they always said that…. but the Bengal Tiger showed his burning bright eyes what a CAPTAIN he is…. for PUNE WARRIORS.

Pune Warrior scoring a low 130 score, and it looked done and dusted. But Jadeja said if Mumbai is 24/3 like Pune, Ganguly will not let it go! And he was right.

Ganguly kept a slip on despite the low score and the second over Dinda gave a ball, which Raydu misjudged and it went to Karthik at first slip. Karthik did his best and took crucial wickets. The first one in the first over….

The field changes were great and worked out. Mumbai did fight back, but it was not enought. Steven Smith, Uthappa did good to bring some respect to Pune Warriors score…. AND Karthick gave a final impetus with a six and four which may have made a difference to the presure.

Now lets see how the players rally around Dada and Pune. This was Captain’s victory… how he called that the pitch would turn, how he picked up five spinners in his side and used four of them…. how he placed the field.

Those who played under him, those who watched him captain… knows that Sourav Ganguly aka Dada, will fight until the last breath. He has been a fighter and always will be. It is never about the money it’s about self-esteem! I hope SRK and other owners who did not pick him up last time understands that… think about IPL2 to remove him the theory of multiple captains came up. They said 20-20 did not need one captain. Question is….. how many time have you captained and played?????

Thank you Subroto Roy to have the courage to give the mantle to Dada. We the Dada followers will support your team no matter what. I do not know if we win or not. But I do know that Dada will make one last roar…. against the Non Believers!

Where was Shakib Al Hasan? Time to call Bob Biswas to the rescue?

M de Lange vs Shakib Al Hasan. The East Bengal Tigers, mauled the Indians, Sri lankans and almost the Pakitanis in the recently concluded Asia cup. Shakib Al Hasan should have been playing, but the KKR manament went for M de Lange the fast bowler, whose economy rate was more then 9.  He gave away 36 runs in 3 overs. The reason to pick him – well the same reason Buchanan wanted the multiple captains in IPL2, just to remove Dada. This is called the GSKA Syndrome. Shakib Al Hasan also appeals now in SRK style. So please pick him up in the next game. He will do well!

The match was poised evenly with KKR hitting those neat sixes. Without those lusty hiting it would have been a no score. Delhi looked organized in the chase and the promotion of Irfan Pathan was a good one. What impressed me was Finch, who kept the ball on the ground and rotated the strike.

The good news was that the stadium was at full capacity, which surprised me. And CM, Mamta Didi was there. May be she should allow SRK to paint the stadium blue also 🙂

Early days yet but IPL5 should give us a new champion and good stories. and SRK will say… Picture ABHI BAKI HAI!!! And will use the new secret weapn now. Nomoskor Ek Min!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other Cricket News: Pieterson hit his 20th test century, 151 vs 165 balls. and also got warned for the switch hit. England grinded and fought… all top 4 countributed. Good fight back after the first test loss.

Game 1: CSK vs MI – Booooringgggg!!!!! Kya C%^%#pa Hai?

The highlight of today’s game was the ‘electronic mosquito trap’. I have shocked around 15 of them (don’t know their gender), and say them go up in smoke. That was the only excitement I got today.

The key takeaway from the game was the 50%+ empty stadium. The first game….in the champions place…and people don’t show up. And the rest 40% crowd which come half of them may be having passes or entourage from the sponsors.

Is IPL going to be a success? I hope so… it is a different concept and brings players together, but I wish other leagues also get going and monopoly of the holy board ends.

Back to the game… finally saw Richard Levi in action. He has some clean hits and can go a long way. My call, swing balling will give him problem. MI, team looked as if it has depth and CSK looked dependent on Rania factor. SRT got injured and some balls did jump from Bollinger, he can be a handful as Sharmaji balls felt going to ground ;).

Congrats Mumbai, congrats Anu Malik…wish more page 3 crowd was there. One smashing face was present in the crowd it went away soon… did anyone catch her. She was dusky :).

And back to the highlight: see the link: http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/electronic-mosquito-trap.html

Will help on killing boring time…..grrrrrrrr!

Hope KKR looses tomorrow….. what hope…. they will loose tomorrow. Go Delhi, Sada Delhi!
