The side-shows...

Midway through the tournament, CI has come up with a report card. Hmm.
So I decided to talk not-quite-but-yet-cricket.

1. First lets just get this out of the way: God/it/goddess/whatever is a pervert. Poor KKR. Isshh! What a mess! I reached for a box of kleenex when I read this; the Prince is officially now a pauper.

2. I am not sure what it is, but MI lack the X-factor. Is it Mission Impossible for them as far as the semi-final spot is concerned?

3. The Zintas must be glad that their opener scored a 100. Oh wait. That was against the Windies. Did someone say IPL is bad for international players??

4. Dirty Nanny for President. Yes. Thanks to him, I think...I think Gideon Haigh praised the IPL.
I think.

Strategic timeout:

A praise the lord moment for all Desis. I mean really. We. Must. Thank. The. Supreme. Thinggy.
Really. For sure.
Because Modi hasn't put an Englishman's wife on his knee. Yet. I think. Well in public anyway.

Can you imagine how much IPL/India/Modi-hate that would generate??
(*SHUDDER*)

5. Ms. Shetty has toned down her giggles. She has.

6. MSD isn't pathetic anymore. Actually he never was. Never will be. Ok me is stopping.

7. DC is like gongura chutney. Those who don't know what it is, must try it.

8. "Ooh I like it." (That is Boucherspeak for the uninitiated.) And that is what I am feeling about BRC's chances. Maybe I'll start liking the Saffers. Maybe.

That be all.
