Do Not Blame IPL For T-20 Performance!

Dhoni is BCCI's Resident Sex Bomb. "Pawar, Stop Hooting!"

Party and travel can be accounted for India’s exit from T20, not the Indian Premier League or too much cricket, Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has said.

But in the collective soul searching that India must do after the humiliating exit in West Indies, the Captain did say, “Players need to be smart because the IPL is not just about cricket, there are other things going around, you have to travel a lot…so you have to respect your body and at the same time take care of your body, which is important…if you don’t do that then IPL is quite draining…if you are playing late night games, if you go the parties and come back late and travel the next day it takes a toll on your body…”

Therefore the 45 days IPL can’t be held responsible for what led to the debacle in the World T20. If players would have given respect to their bodies then the IPL would not have drained them. As far as the player fitness and freshness is concerned, most players were fit and fresh. read more…

Blazers Of IPL3 Semifinals

Winner Of IPL 2, Can They Repeat history

Its Mumbai vs Bangalore & Deccan vs Chennai

Finally, the air is cleared. Teams entering the semi final spot have been baffling but super Sunday set the points table and the all the teams qualifying the table deserve to be there.

Chennai taking on Punjab couldn’t restrict Punjab to a low total as Marsh blazed away Punjab to 192. They needed Hayden to fire, but the mongoose has still not eaten the snakes. Raina got to a good start but fell along with Vijay. Badrinath came with a fighting cameo, but it was captain courageous who went to win the match.

It was good to see Dhoni firing and soaking the pressure but on the other hand Hayden’s failure has been disappointing. Most importantly Chennai’s bowling has to strengthen.

They have got quality bowlers, but unfortunately almost all the bowlers are running out of form. They are been costly at the death overs, but Ashwin and Raina are able to roll their arms to stop the run flow. read more…

Buried Six Feet Under: Shane Warne Scrambles For The Light

It’s all happening in the IPL. Morning in Bangalore a blast occurred just minutes before the game started and Mumbai blasted Bangalore even in the game.

With Bangalore loosing the match and Kolkata winning the match, the points table has got a slight change as Kolkata still has a chance to make to the semis.

Ganguly’s inspiration has once again proved worthy as the Kolkata Knight Riders beat the Royals convincingly by 8 wickets. Watson been promoted to open was useful as he whacked the bowlers and Shane Warne could had done this job earlier.

With Watson and Pathan falling, the Knight Riders tightened the screws and with some decent bowling restricted the Royals to 131. Jaidev Unadkat was the peak among the bowlers as he got the variation and with crucial wickets was able to do the damage. read more…

Naughty Dirrty Boys: Modi & Shashi

2010 April 17

These Boys Are Good Naughty Boys, Shashi And Modi Are Bad Naughty Boys. Shut Up!

Let us move forward by first adding false information.

Wonder how the ruckus between Modi & Tharoor got so glorified? Well when the initial blame game started there was not much to talk about them. Heck there was not even an issue between them still they were talking & the media was reporting that these two charismatic personalities are banging heads with each other. Now was the time to add some spice. So Tharoor used his influence & got the I-T sleuths to check on Modi. This harrowed Modi and threatened to show his hidden skeletons. Along with punching his reputation. It was an indirect move by a government official that too a minister. The I-T sleuths captured his HQ at BCCI building, his Worli office & even his hotel room. When some un-bribe-able governmental people knock on the bedroom it is a sign of ensuing insult. This is a heavy blow not withstanding of how clean a citizen is a visit from the I-T department never sounds good. read more…

Lalit Modi And His Dirty Laundry: Washed!

Lalit Modi Dressed In His Dirty Linen

The more facets a diamond has the sparkles it makes.

A diamond is judged by the number of facets it has. The more the no. of facets the more appealing it gets. The no. of facets decide the no. of angles it can be viewed from. The golden figure for facets is 58. So ideally there are 58 facets from which light is refracted to give that beautiful look. There are diamonds that are more than 58 faceted diamonds but after a few looks they loose their attention. Let us draw a corroaly the more the facets of a controversy the more sensationalism it creates. The more variables involved in a story the more deep the discussion. The more angles of an account the murkier it gets. The ongoing controversy that embroils the ring master Mr. Lalit Modi is just hitting a no. of facets that is making the controversy jucier by the hour. Indeed our stupidly chosen dumb politicians halted the proceeding of the parliament today on an entirely legal matter. Continuing our IPL saga let us look at this story from its many facets with our protagonist Lalit Modi & antagonist Shashi Tharoor. read more…
