IPL Auction : Updates 3

Australia’s cricket recession was evident in the IPL auction with no buyers for Stuart Clark and withdrawl of Pup led to Modi firing a poor salvo at him. Mumbai Indians was represented by Mrs Mukesh Ambani and when she was asked question why was JP Duminy selected, she was at bay to answer the reason. Now how are this so called intelligent celebrity wives clad in top attire supposed to know the basics of the game ?

Alright there were few Bollywood dumb starlets too but then their homework was done by their respective beaus. Missis Ambani sounded dumb and I was laughing. LMAO. This big intensity. I guess Deccan Chargers lived up to their reputation of being weakest and dumbest team. Mumbai Indians were dumb again though they got Duminy, i guess somebody else would have advised Missis to snap up Jeanie.

Kolkata Knight Riders, my senti favorite are the biggest losers in the second season with no Gul and Akhtar. And Mash raffe is no Gul or even unfit Akhtar. But then they do have the fading Splendis. And Ishant Sharma is in his elements too. Besides its DADA. So anything is possible.

Am not sure how much KP would turn around fortunes of Bangalore Royal challengers given that the team has Kallis and Jaffer in its ranks. Dravid is the skipper, but then he is not unfit for the format. He has over 10k runs in ODIs and has record for fastest Indian 50 in ODI. So those who question the great man over the ability to play fast, would suggest them go find the record books and watch videos.

IPL has started the buzz and I fear that it would fade out the upcoming NZ tour. No we are not even talking of the last ODI in RP, we have won that and the T20 too 🙂

IPL Auctions : Update 1.

As auction reports set in, the new Jeanie has been roped in by Mumbai Indians. Chennai Super Kings have bagged Andy Flintoff for $1.55 million eclipsing MS. And the test side have got Kevin Pietersen for same amount again eclipsing MS. So the 2 maverick players become the costliest pick. One who would never know when he would be unfit and the other who would never know when his king size ego would blow off.

Bret Lee’s pace cousin Shaun Tait goes to his Aussie legend’s team Rajasthan Royals, the defending champions. And Fidel Edwards, the West Indian bowler goes to Gilly’s Deccan Chargers.

Jean Paul Duminy, the new Aussie flesh in the thorn has been bagged by Mumbai Indians. He would flex his muscles with the likes of Bravo, Zaheer, Jayasuriya and of course The legend Tendulkar.

And Owais Shah goes to Delhi Daredevils, my numero uno favorite.
