Ha, ha!

 

[Dhonifan]

Bgl team echoing the pathetic state of it's captain...

Our WALL clean bowls himself to a Ganguly googly, stands around looking dazed while Gangs does the salsa around the pitch. Hasta la vista. Cricinfo says

9.1 Ganguly to Dravid, OUT, and he's cleaned up up, too cute from Dravid and he misses the paddle-sweep, leg stump is out of the ground and Ganguly is like Greek hero in Olympia, running through the ground as if he's won the marathon, he's loving this wicket, Dravid looks back in anguish. The Ganguly v Dravid battle is over. And there's been only one winner

 

[161]

Waited till the last minute to accelerate.

Ganguly 3 0 7 1


If I were a Bangalore fan I'd be tearing my hair out at the above figures.

To paraphrase the classic Tango ad:

"You know when you've been Gangullied!"

BTW what happened to Tango? Haven't seen that on the supermarket shelves for years!!!

 

[asifp]

Misbah was missed. Banglore must be cussing itself for choosing an amazing icon player

They must have stopped using Ganguly in the ads. Bad move there by Tango people. Ganguly rules

Even if Misbah played, he wouldnt have gotten a chance to play coz their captain would push him to 6 down or something.

BRC problems are with their batting order and their defensive minded Cap - who makes Laxman look like Sehwag

Dravid was supposedly known for his cricketing acumen, yet here he made a big blunder even when he was handed a golden opportunity to sort out the batting order. Jaffer injured (thank god), he should have opened himself alongside the 'dasher' Arunkumar.

Misbah should have played at 4/5 instead of Chanderpaul.

He has one T20 specialist of proven international stock (Misbah), another who has played a few international and Pro20 domestic games (Boucher) and a third proven performer in domestic T20 gmes (Cameron White).

How hard is it for him to select the above three plus ONE more foriegn player -- preferably Steyn.

Speaking about Hoggs. Why isn't Brad Hogg the wrist spinner picked up by any of the franchises? Lots of batsmen have trouble picking his variations. Not a bad batsman either.

Hogg didn't want to play IPL. I know this is heresy to some Indians but some players are not interested in the IPL.

""They always s'pported me, always cheered for me, look at the people, such electrifying, I'm itching to play." Shoaib comes on the giant screen and Eden goes bananas."



Shoaib is worth every penny of that $1.6 million.

Next season when the IPL salaries go up I can see Shoaib being the highest paid non-Indian.

) ) They might want to pay for cricketers who actually play and perform once in a while

 

[siddharth]

I thought Akhtar is above IPL or ICL .....well he is not ?

 

[OZGOD]

The Bangalore Royal Chumps aren't proving to be much of a challenge for anyone so far, eh.
