Condemned, doomed, cursed...

Condemned, doomed, cursed, ill fated, unlucky.... any number of such adjectives would summarize KKR for this season. It was supposed to be the turning point with Brendon Mac striking form. But SRK still has to wait before he can book a flight to South Africa. And moreover, he mentioned that he would go back only if KKR "start winning matches". With just 3 more games to go, I don't think KKR will set the IPL on fire but with Hussey in and Mac in form, they might just set the hopes of some semifinal contenders on fire. Anyway SRK! See you in IPL 3 unless you decide to sell the team off. But before you wash your hands off, you better ensure that the "Phoren Babas" involved in Ajay Jadeja's spectacular racism claim are dealt with.
Let us not take away credit from Ross Taylor though. As much as KKR's luck proved to be a factor, we all know that Ajit Agarkar is not one to be trusted to bail you out when a batsman is in murderous form. Keep it going KKR. You may finish last but you can keep in mind Swami Vivekananda's philosophy about being at the bottom to console yourself. As for RCB, it looks like they might better their best performance in the IPL - finishing 7th.
MI and KXIP played a scrappy game. Off the 119 runs that KXIP made, there were 23 extras. Imagine what could have happened had this been a 50 over game. It was an eye candy to watch Sreesanth hammered all over the park. In one over bowled by Super Sree, Bravo tripled the MI score and MI never looked back after that. It was so easy that even Sachin scored a few runs. That was sarcastic but I had to make it for obvious reasons.
Bret Lee sends in a bouncer and Sivaramakrishnan the commentator says that Lee is still rusty from the injury lay-off. I cannot imagine what Lee would have done had be been in perfect condition - bounce the ball all the way to the moon?There is a saying that means it is better to remain silent than gloat and show your ignorance. Before they are picked for commentary, these commentators need to go through multiple screenings.
Sameer "Stone Cold" Kochar has replaced Gaurav Kapoor on the field. At least, he was not shivering. But in trying to be a Gaurav on the field he failed miserably - much like Sunny Deol trying to dance.
