Pink Slip HITS the blogger
Ladies and Gentlemen,
yours truly might go missing in action soon.
It's time for job hunting.
Till then, the excess costs need to be curtailed.
The internet being one of them, and hence no blogging.
But, i shall be back as soon as things start falling in place.
Cheers!!

MI fail at Maths and the match too
should sachin really have bowled himself at that point of time.
His last effort against RCB only helped Uthappa get set to launch the assault.
Someone got his maths all wrong.
AB is one of the leading run scorers in the IPL.
But, if Bravo still had 3 overs left after the 19th, did Sachin really need to take such a risk?
I know it's easy to point fingers, but facts are facts
Frankly speaking,
it was sachin's over that blew MI's chance
Another chance wasted by the Mumbai Impossibles.
I'm beginning to feel like a Knight rider fan now.
What the heck! i'll still be in front of the tv for the next one.
it's My Mumbai. Come hell or high waters.
might not take the pain of over by over blogging though.

WI get the S(t)inking feeling
Another appalling attempt at pun.
Alright, back to cricket.
WI have been rolled over for 256 in the second innings.
England needed 32 to win.
That's it for the first test then.
Onions, Swann and Broad played major roles with the ball.
Bopara has very much sealed the number 3 spot for the time being.
Nash, Ramdin tried to save face for WI but couldn't avoid a 10 wicket defeat
Castro has to be givena special mention for his outstanding spell in the first innings.
Poms 1- WI 0

Here we go!
WTF, sachin came in shorts for the toss.
c'mon sachin where's your respect for the game n all that jazz
Sachin wins the toss. MI bat first.
No Sanath, Luke Ronchi gets a game
DD are still minus Viru.
After my conversion to sehwagology, i was in a fix over which team to support.
But since God isn't playing... i have found my path..
Damn it, it's drizzling. The start might be a bit delayed
ALRIGHT! here we go!
Beast Nannes to begin,
Ronchi and Duminy, to open for MI.
MI are ringin in the changes today.

Pinal Shah's in,
Duminy snicks one to Karthik, Beast Man has bowled a good first over MI 1/2 courtesy a wide from Nannes
Nehra starts off with a wide.
Gosh, it's awful to watch Shah.

8 off the over. MI 9/2
DD are putting the choke on MI.
Beast Man is making Pinal look silly. 2 off the over.
MI 11/2 after 3
Sangwan replaces Nehra,
Shah continues to look ugly. Someone end his misery.
Sangwan bowls one down the leg side. Wides seem to be doing all the scoring for Mumbai.
MI 16 for 2 after 4. No boundaries yet. curses! where's my Gautam voodoo doll. must get more pins
Nehra to bowl the 5th.
Shah hits one straight up in the air, Sangwan runs all the way from midoff to midon to parry it out of Gambhir's reach. The voodo's working. But i would have preffered Shah getting out.
Sachin crashes one past point....... 4!!! About time.
Another one through the leg side ....4 more!!!
MI 25/2 After 5.
Sangwan continues,
MI need to use the last over of the powerplay
Sachin plays the ol' chinese cut and runs, But Karthik gathers it and throws down the stumps.

MI 30/3 after 6
Mishra to bowl now,
2 off the over, MI in a bit of a hole here.
32/3 after 7
Bhatia's here with his dibbly dobblies.
Shah hits one in the air, straight to Mishra at long on.
Somehow i'm happy to watch him go.
4 off that one. MI 36/4 after 8
we're soooo finished
Bravo and Nayar don't look like they have any clue whatsoever of what Mishra is bowling..
39/4... 9 gone
MI continues to crawl. Bhatia continues with dobbly shit and get away.
43/4 after 10
Tactical Timeout.
MI look set to make 100 max
Mishra continues.
MI are playing run out.
Its fun if you can run your partner out.
MI 47/4 ...... 11 gone
Cmon guys get a move on!! run rate of 4 in a t20!!

Sangwan is back.
Bravo's dropped by Karthik. was difficult though.
watching MI is a torture now.

More dobblers from Bhatia.
Finally Bravo gives him what he deserves. Driven over cover for 4!!
more blocking from MI.

Nayar skies one...... AB pouches that.(is there any one else who catches a ball for DD)
6 down now.
Very much over for MI now.
Might as well not come out to bowl.
91/6 after 17
Nannes' last over.
Rahane plays the old swipe over the keeper for 4.
Closer to 3 figures now.
Be careful guys, dont overshoot the target now.

MI reach 100, quite an achievement that.
105/6 18 GONE.
Rahane begins the 19th with a squirt past point.
Karthik drops a regulation skier. another shitty fielding effort.
The standard of fieldimg is pathetic in the IPL.
No ball, FREE HIT.
Bhajji nicks the free hit, Karthik parries it past the post. Delhi WIN!!
oh wait we're playing cricket here. Karthik makes it look like football.
Nehra let's DK know what he thinks of his keeping.
Bhajji gets a good yorker next. TIMBER!!
19 gone 114/8
Bhatia to dobble the 20th.
Raje's castled first ball.
Good stuff.
Rahane slices one straight to Sangwan.
Kulkarni runs himself out on the last ball.
2 off the 20th
MI 116 all out.
That's it for the Live blog i guess.
I wouldn't wanna put myself through the misery of writing over by over as we lose.
WE ALL KNOW THE RESULT
Damn, I need a beer or 2 or maybe 3....... heck i gotta get sloshed to sleep.

Rain halts the Cookery Show
Well, i tried every onion pun, and it had been used already.
the involvement of Cook, Baker..... get the drift?
damn, I'm losing it big time......
anyways WI are staring at 1-0
with an innings defeat
Gayle's commitment will be questioned, but FYI the others(barring Edwards) weren't playing in the IPL. were they?
