The case of the pseudo home crowd

One more insipid performance from DC. What was "Rogue hit" thinking when he hit that last shot? That the fielder would drop the catch? You must be a @#$#@$ to play that shot rogie!! You just got your slice of luck when Harmeet just crossed over the previous ball!!! And what was it with Symmo and RP? What kind of glory were they looking for?
Playing in front of pseudo home crowds does have its effect. Take for example the Nagpur crowd. It was supposed to be DC's home stadium! You must have heard the roar when Yusuf walked in and the hushed silence when he was dismissed. Were DC playing at home? Same was the case on Saturday as well. You can't play your home game against Mumbai at Mumbai? Not one soul at the stadium was a Charger!!
By the way - hasn't anyone told Gaurav about the beard? Come on SET. You spend so much for the 10 year rights to telecast the IPL. Can't you spend 20 bucks on a shave?
Now that DC have ensured that they can only fight for the wooden spoon, it is time to target a team and derail its semifinal chance. To put it short - It is time to play spoilsport Gilly. Do that at least!!
And finally - it looks like the old and the new of the IPL are about to begin a war as this report suggests. But if the IPL is going to say that come next year the players that represented your favorite team for 3 years are not going to be there anymore - what happens to the fun of following your favorite team?
