Here I am back for this post and don’t know how to start but still any ways I am back – Lets start from the match against Deccan chargers; How in the world could you loose that match where 21 required of last 6 and out of nowhere KKR found a way to loose this one as well. We were all waiting for the Bangla Tiger to roar and come out with some inspirational performance but that wasn’t his night and he got hammered all over the park making Rohit Sharma the Hero of the match.
During the same match; Dada tried to hit the ball very hard and guess what; his having a torrid time out in the center. But we should give a thought to the platform he created after McCullum departed early. But some of the commentators who have not achieved even 10% of what Dada did - criticized him for slow run rate; I mean it’s so easy to make a someone look foolish when you’re in a commentators box; isn’t it.
After this match we believed that this never ending loosing streak wouldn’t end and they would go down with 12 looses while creating a unique record which would have been tough to beat all hands down. Perhaps Baadshah khan was hoping them to do the impossible and they did; loosing a matches out of winning situations and winning a match out of Impossible situation; I hope next time he gives them clear instruction which wouldn’t create ambiguity.
Throughout the match against CSK this is the McCullum we were dying to see all throughout the season; and it all came good in the 13th match; guess too early I must say - of course for the next season; what did you thought…. It was only the batting which made them cross the finish line; or else they had tried all their tested tricks to loose a match with Murli Kartik dropping a sitter and not even trying to attempt on which came to him at short 3rd man. Anupreet, Kartik & Agarkar tried their level best to give them loads of runs with extras embedded with them. God knows what happened to Hussey when he was going good and out of nowhere he found a way to get himself run out thus opening the match again; and never the less he tried again to do the same with Hodgy when he ran for Saha. And the best part is yet to come; haven’t Murali got Ganguly early he would have wasted another 4 overs in reaching double figures and pressurizing McCullum to throw his wicket. Dada looks as if he wants to win it for KKR in 1 over itself by playing every shot closing his eyes and assuming that it would reach the boundary. He is restless, wants to prove a point but he too needs to calm down and please do not rush. After it was confirmed that KKR wouldn’t reach the Semis’ a lot of KKR loyalist (of course like me) want KKR to loose but Ganguly to score and prove a point a shut lot of mouths. But he ain’t got anything to prove; he’s had a Royal career and has been there and destroyed all. Dada your still the captain we think is still best that this country has ever produced.
Even laptop couldn’t believe what it had witnessed; we hear after yesterday’s win; Buchanan’s laptop crashed as that wasn’t it had calculated and predicted a yet another loss (of course it might have got crashed due to over usage pirated software as FIP says….) and all the strategies and plans were destroyed; now we even don’t know who would captain KKR in their last match against the Royals who too are eyeing a spot in Semis. The perfect way to end a tournament would be to make sure that Royals to catch the same flight back to India with KKR team and take the revenge of the Super over from where it all started.
No matter what one would say about KKR; but they lost 6 close matches which would have sure shot got them the Semis berth; But no matter all those 6 matches were close finishes and made every one sit on the edge of their seats; We need to give them the credit for that making out time spent worthy enough for a good cricket match. All those 6 matches gave good return on Investments to all the sponsors and all the companies who were in Line for ads during those matches. Kind khan should be happy about that at least. King Khan should understand that Shaping a Cricket team and selling a product are two different things; Owners need to take lot of care and make sure they spent a lot of time with the team to develop them( it’s just a new born baby; it completely depends on the parents how they grow the baby and what kind of values they want to instinct in their kids – trust me this would not happen overnight) You need to develop a culture around the team to instinct those values; But here the Owners are completely relying on their baby sitters (the Foreign coaches and their support staff) to nurture and grow their team; which would help till certain extent; but the team needs owner in the time of need when they are down and out. Just SMSes from India would not help their cause. I hope these views are passed on to them by some means; I wish I could own one of this cricket team one day (of course that’s my dream to do it)…..
Enough of Philosophy of course people who have bought these teams know what they gonna do….Next match against the Royals and we cannot even guess the teams I guess as the laptop have just crashed; lets see if we are in for a rude shocker in terms of team selection. I hope KKR would make sure that they do something unbelievable and would spoil not few but at least 1 or 2 parties….Game on Knights !!!!!!!
