IPL: Comedy, tragedy,numbers and Ishant Sharma
I can’t fathom what’s more comic or tragic— depending on your perspective.
Saurav Ganguly fans, who keep hoping for some miracle that will enable their hero to participate in the IPL this year.
Or the split verdict announced by the Supreme Court on a petition filed by former BCCI President A C Muthiah challenging amendment of clause 6.2.4 allegedly promulgated to allow BCCI Secretary N Srinivasan to continues as an office-bearer while owning a stake in the Chennai Super Kings franchise.
At least, Dada fans’ hearts are in the right place—in Ganguly’s opinion.
But what can you say about a clear conflict of interest? Should N Srinivasan govern as an interested party?
Ricky Ponting smashes another television set (Satire)
Ricky Ponting smashed another television set—this time at home.
The provocation for this act of ‘vandalism’ was the news that Duncan Fletcher has been appointed coach of the Indian cricket team.
It is learned from reliable, unnamed sources that the former Australian captain was in the running for arguably “the most difficult job in the sub-continent”. Negotiations with the BCCI were on-going—under the radar.

Greg Chappell takes over as coach from Bob Houghton (Satire)

Greg Chappell had expressed his desire to return to coaching an Indian team ;the AIFF responded by inviting him to take over the mantle from ousted Houghton.
AIFF general secretary, Kushal Das, said, “We need a coach who is out-spoken, enjoys the confidence of the players and who does not shy away from controversy.”
What they said and what they definitely didn’t mean: Ray Jennings
What he said:
“What he’s produced tonight scares the hell out of me and hopefully will scare others going forward.”
RCB Coach Ray Jennings on Chris Gayle’s extraordinary opening act in this year’s IPL.
What he meant:
“If this is how he (Gayle) plays jet-lagged and after a scrap with the WICB, I wish he’d have them (scraps) every day.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“Scary Movie X, here come Gayle and RCB as starring cast.”
Sachin Tendulkar named Sathya Sai Baba’s successor (Satire)
In his will discovered late last evening, Sri Sathya Sai Baba has anointed Sachin Tendulkar as his successor.
The master batsman has been named the sole beneficiary in the godman’s last testament.
The codicil states: “I have always been a huge fan of Sachin. He is a God to millions of Indians, just like I am. He has devotees cutting across state lines and so do I. He does not need money and neither did I.”
SRK, KKR and Kajol, Rani and Bipasha at the IPL (Humour)
Shah Rukh Khan is at the end of his tether.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, will convince Dada fans that SRK loves Sourav Ganguly (and Bengalis) and that’s why he let him go.
Slashing the price of tickets for forthcoming KKR games has not quite had the desired effect as evidenced by fan reaction on the team web-site.
What they said and what they definitely didn’t mean: Siddharth Mallya

“It is like a sugar-free candy bar. Because it does the same thing. It tastes the same. But then there is always that one thing that’s missing.”

What he meant:
“Lalit Modi’s the sugar missing from the IPL candy bar.”
What he definitely didn’t mean:
“Lalit Modi’s my sugar daddy.”
