Mendis and Murali, arguably both Sri Lankans, have both bowled super overs – they both lost it for their teams. Captain Raina disagreed, throwing that “cricket is a team sport, and we collectively lost it” logic. Murali disagreed with Raina taking complete credit for the defeat.
When contacted Mendis claimed he did not remember playing in the IPL, leave alone bowling a super over.
Jatman had an altogether different take – appears when the Daredevils hand Dilshan or Maharoof the ball, they are also told, “Do anything, but don’t bowl a super over”
No doubt like the IPL, that’s a good joke, but usually the batsman has the last laugh. Dilshan’s last over was anything but super and went for 6, 6, 6, though not in that order – it was anarchy.
As for Maharoof, like Dilshan, he too has been dropped to concentrate on not bowling a ‘super over’.

NC moment of what match was that
This feels like a job, rambling one moment after the other (esp. when they’re misnomer moments) – but that’s what wine fuel can do. The Daredevils v Punjab game, was there really a moment – it sucked the life out of moments, games such as this give the IPL a bad name. I couldn’t care less if DD lost this, but I was happy when they won it. And I can’t explain that to me, so I won’t try with you.
Ok, there was a moment, manufacturing it anyway – it was when…eh, well, you know…this is tough. Ok, when my favourite Daredevil Manhas, got his and DD’s nose in front – I’ve tweeted that one before, but it was worth a retweet. Love it when the invisible cricketer shines some; would have been happy had Kaif scored a 50 of 9 balls too.
Think the IPL has got beyond teams for me, more into playing favoutites with players now – like was I happy to see Mahroof get a game finally. I mean, how much of a honeymoon do they want him to have?

KhufiaBaaz: Farveez Maharoof’s wedding album
Just returned from Farveez Maharoof’s wedding (pictures at Island Cricket) – see both captain and ex-captain+wags posing with PM. Notice how PM always flashes that same smile as if he’s taking a photograph. Also posing with the PM and wife are Murali, Dilshan, Vaas, and this guy called Attapatu. Then there’s PM with cake and dancing with Mrs PM. Also check out Mendis posing with himself.
