Let’s get it straight

Some of us learnt quite early in our lives that, even in an emergency situation, you don’t piss in your backyard. In fact, you scale the wall and piss in your neighbour’s backyard. But, never in your own. Unfortunately, some people didn’t learn that. Even more unfortunate is that they ended up joining the Indian news media.

Why else would you have the entire Indian news contingent trying to create a problem where none exists? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the Blues and there are no camps or anything of that sort. The only pretender to the throne was the Prince of Patiala, who has also accepted his fait accompli after IPL. As far as the Kakdi-Sheru situation is concerned, Sheru’s shoulder is not match ready. The only point of contention was whether he should stick around with the squad hoping that his shoulder will recover towards the second half of the tournament or not. Sheru felt that he could stick around and Kakdi didn’t. Kakdi also feels that Sheru didn’t completely disclose the extent of his injury and isn’t quite happy about it. Eventually, given the form that Ghati Baba has shown in the tournament, the team management decided that Sheru will be eased off. And that’s where I think the matter, and Sheru, should rest.

But one thing’s for sure. This thing’s really got the cucumber boiling. His reactions these days are less like the Captain Kakdi aka Cool Dude that we know & love and more like the Lordie, whom also we know & love. We have all seen him in press conferences recently. But yesterday, some of us were privy to a rather un-Kakdi like reaction. Rain had delayed the start of the game. Kakdi was on the balcony, his usual, easy going, jovial self. Until, one spectator from down below shouted, “Kakdi, Sheru ko kya hua”. Looks tell a story, but Kakdi’s look was telling an epic. The pictures show him before the jibe from the spectator (top pic) and after (bottom pic. Kakdi is in the background as he moved back after the comment/question). I think it’s best for our team that we stop this nonsense and support them in whatever way we can.

Teri Maa Ki’s (TMK’s) ghost refuses to leave the Dicks. Three of their sponsors – Victoria Better, Johnnie Runner and Wolf Bass – all alcohol brands if you have noticed, have joined hands and are asking the Dickland Board some uncomfortable questions. Was TMK drunk or was he ‘just drinking’? If he was ‘just drinking’, is it really that big a crime and is this the message they are sending to the sponsors’ consumers? After all they have no qualms about taking money from Alcohol companies, wearing their logos on their chests, and actively encouraging the rest of the world to hit the bottle, then why this hypocrisy? The question that the rest of the world is asking is why is a Dicklander being punished for being a Dick?

The Blues play tomorrow. Seeing them go about their work yesterday, a few things are pretty clear. No-Braina had walked out of the pavilion with the openers and walked straight into the dug out. So, if a wicket falls within the first 6 overs, No-Braina would go in at No. 3. After the first 6 overs, we saw a padded up Kakdi walking into the dug out. So, if the first wicket falls after the 6th over, he comes in at No. 3 and nudges his way through the innings, which is a good thing cos he can’t hit those big ones these days anyway. And the XI that played yesterday is the ‘A’ team for the tournament. No changes are expected unless there are some serious form or injury issues.

It’s been a hectic 3 days. Tuesday at Lord’s, Wednesday early morning train to Nottingham. 2 days, 4 matches and no internet access in Nottingham. Train ride back to London, which is where I am now. Thankfully, I stay in London till Tuesday when I head back to Trent Bridge for the Blues’ last Super Eight game. The Championship’s now in the real stage. Hopefully, we’ll see some kick-ass action. And while the world’s best cricketer’s slug it out, the Limp Dicks hang around in cold, windy, rainy Leicester…doing nothing. Serves them right, as most would say.

    So, India are on the brink again. One more defeat and the halo around them will all but burst like an over-inflated balloon.

    That may, of course, still not be the end of MS Dhoni's fairy-tale romance; after all, he needs just one victory and a little help from his best friend — lady luck — to sneak into the World Cup semifinals… through at least the back door. After that, one wouldn't put even a few bobs against him even if one were a billionaire.

    The problem, however, is that India are suddenly looking under-cooked: that is strange as they have been feeling the heat for some time now, even more so since the Virender Sehwag controversy revealed the other facet residing in Captain Cool.

    You can see that the calm in the little ghoulish village called Team India is swirling at the edge; in fact, the squad is once again looking like an amalgam of disparate parts, rather than the finely-tuned, fully loaded fighting machine that it had become in the last couple of years.

    Does this have anything to do with the IPL? Has it stoked too many egos or spilled so much bad blood that the players are struggling to sail on the same wavelength? Are they trying to outdo each other rather than just do well for the team?

    Well, that is, of course, an extreme scenario: the players are all professional and know exactly what to do to survive in a tournament like this. But the point is the batting doesn't look settled and the bowling incisive enough.

    As one watched the Super Eight match against West Indies one couldn't help but wonder who would bowl the last over. In the earlier two games, Ishant and Harbhajan had done the needful. Sadly, the answer remained a mystery as Bravo finished the match in the penultimate over itself.

    The question is, however, critical: Zaheer had bowled the 19th over; but as many as three bowlers (Irfan, Ishant and Ojha) still had an over left. Is Dhoni keeping it smart, and leaving himself with a lot of options? Or is he gambling with his luck and taking too many chances?

    One has to look at the overall picture to understand India's gameplan, though: in all the games so far, no bowler has been given more that two overs at a stretch. More often than not each one is bowling a single over before a new one is unleashed on the batsmen.

    Clearly, it is a case of distribution of workload, pressure: the format is so dangerous that it is not smart to expect one bowler to take care of the death overs all the time. In a way, it gives everyone breathing space and not burn out while attempting to escape the mayhem at the end.

    At one level, it is a brilliant ploy: every bowler has to be ready to bowl at any time; it doesn't allow the opposition to plan its final onslaught either. It, however, didn't work perfectly on Friday as India hadn't scored enough runs. And that is where the main problem really lies.

    It is, however, also interesting to note that neither Suresh Raina nor Rohit Sharma has bowled a single over so far; Yuvraj too has bowled only one over. And all three of them were amazingly successful in the IPL.

    Interestingly, Yusuf bowled all his four overs against West Indies and as many as three against Bangladesh; but against Ireland, he didn't get a single over. These are strange tactics, to say the least. But then, the defending champions often like to play from the brink.

    Wow, I thought I was the only onefeeling that way. Glad to hear I am on the same page as FIP. I think Jornos, esp TOI jornos are on a power trip, they have launched a crusade against Dhoni, probably to teach him a lesson for not bowing to them at press conference. TOI 2-bit journos are too drunk with their power they think Indian public are stupid followers of their reporting and they can lead them anywhere they want.
    FIP, you have the power… please call these idiots at TOI out. Democracy to the grassroot bloggers, down with the arrogant media.

    Hindoos ki maa ki choot mein punjabion da lauda! Laloo Prasad manmohan singh sey chudwata hai apni gaand.

    All hindoos are fucked up hyped up ass holes. Wanna challenge my opinion?

    Tell me you hindoo bastuuurds, how many children your Sheeva Rapist bhaagwaan has? You will say 2 – Kuttey waley mu (Ganasha) and Murugan aka (MURUGANdu). You will hide about his 3rd son. Yes, you will. If you dont know your mother or pundit wont tell you.

    Sheeva's 3rd son is Ayyappaaa. Of course they have different names in different cities. His templlles and prayers gather millions in south india.

    Next question, who is Ayaaappaaa's mother. Surprise, surprise. Is is Sree CKrisshna the playboy bastuurd.

    Was this a gay marriage? Then how the baby came about? Ckrishna change autar, became a girl and Sheeva rapped him/ her in the jungle. He did not tell them that Sheeva will be ahsamed so he/she let Sheeva continue to rape him.

    After the incident, the moron could not change to become a boy back because he/ she was pregnant. 9 months later Ayyaapppaa came out.

    Go ask you pundit of the hold story of the 3rd son of Sheeva the rapish maderchod!

    If you find this to be true, change your fake religion. Stop drinking cow piss. Start learning urdu. It is phir not fir, you ass holes.

    Bhindie movies are famour because 98% is speaking urdu not hindi. Can tell me 1 fuqin song which does only have hindi words, no urdu? You dont say dhaneywaad… you keep on saying shukria.

    Why? Because you asss holes are dam fuqed up. Borm moron.

    Behnchod Pakis gone to final? How? This can not happen to these ass hole team. Where are blues – oic… makin blue films with their mothers, aunts, granny, betiya, bahu and their annimals.

    Now, sab milkey eik awaz mein bolo… FIP ki maa ki phateyli choot mein SRK dey pio di bhains da kaal lauda aur FIP ki bahen ki phateyli phuddi wich Hanu-man de bandad la lauda!
