1. Spirit is volatile and it doesn’t last the whole nine yards;
2. Vijay Mallya has got the right men but in wrong places. For instance, Adrian Sutil spins more than Anil Kumble, while Rahul Dravid drives better than Giancarlo Fisichella;
3. You don’t open a cola bottle with Praveen Kumar but BRC can open their batting with him!
4. Ray Jennings has complained to Mallya that Jesse Ryder has not attended a single net session and is often spotted flirting with a particular Mischief Gal;
5. BRC looked a Test team in IPL I and resembles an ODI outfit in IPL II. In other words, the T20 metamorphosis is still some distance away;
6. Virat Kohli has an ego problem with spinning balls;
7. Business magnates have a penchant for bouncing cricketers’ WAGs on their knees – medics call it Stanford Syndrome -- and that explains the hurry of the BRC players to return to the pavilion.
thanks som,
ReplyDeletenow i know why BRC won't win IPL II ;)
Jesse Ryder? Flirting?
ReplyDeleteAnkit, I guess everyone knew they won't win. I knew the precise reasons:)
ReplyDeleteAmy, you think there is some problem with Jesse! Outrageous!
ReplyDeletethey were smart enough for not bringing wags in first place...
ReplyDeletei wonder the hurry is for getting hand on mallya's 'collection'... ;-))
SP, now that's why Mallya built a Test squad, so that they hang on in the middle and don't return early!
ReplyDeleteNot at all, Jesse's a sexy man. It's the drinking and non-existent neck that do it. And those bandanas...
ReplyDeleteAmy, to be honest, I sort of liked his bandanas:)
ReplyDelete2 is brilliant. I haven't checked any of the other websites, but I know the BRC have a dedicated section to their cheerleaders. I even think I spotted KP with the pom poms.
ReplyDeleteMallya is such a witty guy what with "Royal Challengers" and "White Mischief" girls... pretty smart too trading Zaheer for Uthappa.
Achettup, I thought Mallya exhausted half the money behind those Pom Poms:)
ReplyDeleteWhat I need from you is a list of 7 people who could be Fake IPL Player and why...
ReplyDeleteUnless its you ofcourse ;-)
Q, I don't doubt the fakeness of the 'Fake IPL Player'. He can't be a player and I didn't find any scoop either. Too few information, seems cooked up. And he got couple of major scoops terribly wrong. I can vouch that this guy is a Bengali (me too!) but I can assure you that none of the KKR player, Bengali or not, is so literally endowed, not even Aakash Chopra. I'm getting big J of the blogger:) But all in all, interesting stuff, even if not intriguing:)
ReplyDeleteBut a post is still in order Som.
ReplyDeleteJesse? Maybe that's why he gets bowled... Must be weak kneed now.
ReplyDeleteQ, recovering from KKR-RR Super Over fever. I guess you have to wait:)
ReplyDeleteScorpi, weak=kneed or not can't say, but has an obvious weakness for sure.
ReplyDeleteYou might have email this reasons to Mallaiya. He might have give you a chance as manager in the IPL 3
ReplyDeleteWelcome Sehwag and keep coming:)
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, I won't do worse as BRC manager!
