Jatman: Never tell a Sri Lankan to bowl a super over
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’.
Yuvraj school of rock.
Yuvraj wins the World Cup…er a match for Punjab. This is a special gift, that only a few special players have – Yuvi is one of them, Yuvraj Singh another. Whenever they win a game for India it is special – when they win one for their IPL team, it is doubly special. A reverse sweep down square leg, fine leg, third man – where the ##@ did it go, yaar? Yeah, CSK didn’t know either. They were looking like the game was over, which it was. Hayden’s face and bat both shrunk. Raina walked down to midwicket, and asked – “why did you do this to me?”
But Yuvi and Yuvraj Singh – how they barked at the impertinence of the press and twitter. He rolled all the worlds MCs, BCs into one big MCBC (it was heartfelt like some Ossibissa song) – but you won’t get the point, will you?
Earlier Yuvi had rolled his MCs BCs into one when that Bisla-who-does-he-think…refused him a suicidal single for the greater good of Yuvi and Yuvraj Singh’s Punjab. Bisla shrunk, he almost curled into his uniform and vanished. He then played a dot ball.
Worth a think, which was better – Yuvi lashing Bisla, or Yuvraj Singh lashing the world in that super over? Where is Bhajji when you need him?
