Awards Night and Farewell

While the IPL closing ceremony is on, I am pleased to share with you an exciting piece of news. IPL’s FIP Reader’s Choice Awards will be given in a glittering function at the Buckingham Palace Lawns on 4th June. The Queen and the Prince have declined their presence because of prior engagements. However, the rest [...]

Rest in pieces

It ain’t over till it’s over folks. I was all set to rest in peace after my ‘don’t tell all’ video, but the ferocity of comments has shattered my rest to pieces and compelled me to return for this one last post for this IPL season. I can take anything you guys hurl at me, [...]

FIP RIP

View at leisure

Straight from the Centurion

Not sitting in the dugout tonight. Man, it’s freezing cold out there. Am just to the right of the dressing room right now and there’s 2 wi-fi enabled laptops here. We leave for Durban tomorrow, so may not get to post before wednesday. Here’s a quick one. Dildo’s managed to find some investors. He will [...]

The last leg

Time’s really running out for us now and we need to catch up on so many important things. Like last minute shopping, enjoying the massages and spas, trying our luck with the ladies etc. Many of the boys have been busy doing a combination of all of these with varying degrees of success. In between [...]

Get Shorty

This one’s really going to be a short one cos I have very little time on my hands right now. For some reason, it took me a long time to get the poll thing working today. And it’s kind of eaten into the time I had to write. Will send a detailed one later.
Last evening, [...]

This and that

This will probably be a quickie. No, no. Not the type that the Sheikh prefers. I meant this will be a short and quick post.
The hunt for FIP has been renewed after a brief ceasefire. So, I can write only when I am absolutely safe and out of reach.
All of us have been asked to [...]

The long and short of it

We play at the Centurion tomorrow. I can already see the Bevdaas standing in queue salivating…no, not at the booze stupid… but at the prospect of playing the one team they can always hope to beat. The most exciting part about these couple of days is that there are 3 other teams with us in [...]

It’s decision time folks

Yet another intense fielding session. And not surprisingly, hardly any dropped catches during practice. Looks like we always save our best for the real thing
2-3 changes are expected in the side for this game. But, it’s almost sure that that Lordie’s playing. Don’t know whether Skipper pushed it through, or a late night call from [...]

Fights, flights and conspiracies

In Jo’burg now. The plot seems to be thickening. On the flight, Lordie, Bhookha and Skipper were sitting in different corners. No words exchanged between any of them. Bhookha and coach had another round of discussions with Dildo. Apparently, they tried to explain to Dildo how Lordie doesn’t fit into the scheme of things anymore. [...]
