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?
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.”
What they said and what they definitely didn’t mean: Siddharth Mallya
What he said:
“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.”
Siddharth Mallya on the IPL without Lalit Modi.
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.”
Liz Hurley and Sakshi Dhoni promote WAGS IPL (Satire)
Quick on the heels of Anjum Chopra’s request to the BCCI to hold an IPL for women cricketers, the premier sports administrative body in the country received another appeal— this time for an IPL constituting wives and girlfriends (WAGS) of cricketers.
The move is spearheaded by Australian spinner Shane Warne’s current love interest, Elizabeth Hurley and MS Dhoni’s wife, Sakshi.
IPL 2011: Of Paul Valthaty, Preity Zinta and professionalism
Who is Paul Valthaty?
Who is this guy, who appears out of nowhere, and single-handedly takes the reigning IPL champions, Chennai Super Kings, to the cleaners?
188 ought to have been good enough—a match-winning total.
But no, Paul “Blazing” Valthaty had other ideas.
Like his Biblical namesake, he rewarded the faith in him with an explosive knock under pressure.
Shane Warne and Liz Hurley to tie the knot after IPL 2011 (Satire)
British actress Elizabeth Hurley and current beau Shane Warne intend to tie the knot soon after IPL 2011—should Warne’s team, Rajasthan Royals, win the tournament.
The blonde leg-spinner led RR to the title in the inaugural edition of the IPL, in 2008.
Liz Hurley is finalising her divorce from Indian businessman Arun Nayar.
Team owners decide to simulate missing players in IPL (Satire)
IPL franchisee owners are clamouring for change.
Fed-up of being short-changed by the non-availability of key players, team honchos have decided to drive changes in the format of the IPL.
“After paying superstars millions of dollars, the least you could expect is that they would be on hand for the duration of the tournament.
But no such luck.”
“National team commitments are deemed more important”, complains a prominent unnamed IPL co-owner.
