KKR playing DC
Just as when Sharukh Khan was thinking of calling his travel agent to book his ticket to South Africa, Mashrafe Mortaza decided to save some cost for the team.
A day when the adage "Every dog has its day" was coming close to reality for the KKR pack, when one saw Ajit Agarkar defy his usual self and bowl a brilliant 19th, McCullum smile on field, Kartik bowling a good spell of 4 tight overs. When one started feeling that KKR are ducking the trend to win one, Mashrafe thought otherwise.
I would ask the KKR team to may be try their luck with book cricket first. And when they do that, I would recommend that they borrow a book from Scorpicity. That seems to be the only way KKR can win one.

B the moment of the match
Baz McCullum and the Buddhiman Baba
No, this is not a Harry Potter spin-off. This is about the Kolkata Knight Riders and how they made a bigger asshole a**h**e of themselves by playing well today.
Brendon Baz McCullum had underperformed till now. He is a kiwi cricketer, he knows all about losing. He knows how it feels when the sport you play loses out to rugby. He knows how it feels when you end up as the 9th best side in the world, no matter what the rankings say.
He was the perfect choice for skipper because Buchanan knew that if you are destined to lose, better do it with a captain who can take it in his stride. I bet another book is on the cards for the pacman-loving coach. (of course, what else do you think is on his laptop)
Sachin Tendulkar has gone on record saying that he would not play under John Buchanan even if he is offered 100 billion dollars.
The above is not true. I used my journalistic liberties, but you get the point of course.
When it mattered, everyone failed. When it doesn’t matter, look at them. They are playing for PRIDE. If there was any pride in them, they would have taken their practice sessions seriously.
All this team does is hides behind controversies, fake blogs, bad coaching, and even racism. It seems Akash Chopra was called an Indian by Andy Bichel and he cried all the way back to India and told his friend Ajay comedy-judge Jadeja. SRK of course is not impressed.
Still, a hilarious word of praise for Wriddhiman Saha. Here is why. During the last over, when Kallis bowled a no ball and McCullum pushed it to extra cover, the latter refused a run, and preferred to take strike for the free hit. This did not go down well with the racially challenged bangali hello spirit hello of the Buddhiman Baba. So, when Baba himself finally got the strike for the last ball, he did what the skip could not even dream that he could do.
Concentrating all his angst on the ball, he sent it soaring above the long on boundary. Way to go, INDIAN!!! What was gestured to the skipper after the ball by the INDIAN is still not known, but I am sure the fake IPL Player would be working on it.
I am a seasoned marksman
At odds with John Buchanan during his brief and turbulent reign as county coach, Ramprakash endured a torrid time as Middlesex captain between 1997 and 1999. In 2001 he crossed the Thames, partly to play in the first division (relegation in 2005 was not in the script), partly in despair at what he considered Middlesex's lack of ambition. Joining a star-laden Surrey team was "the best decision I've ever made". The pressure, crucially, "was not all on me, which helped me relax and express myself ".
We saw what the mark of a cricketer looked like, on top we see what a marksman of good cricketers looks like.
Ramps is a strong man, determined to play cricket till date, and score all those hundreds at will... At 39+ (age and not average!!)
Is Brendan McCullum strong enough??
