Desperate times

It is not often that MSD hopes for help from other teams. But a desperate MSD said that he hoped for DC to lose a match in order to qualify for the semis of the IPL. Understandable MSD but still desperate times eh?. But seriously, what happened in yesterday's match? It was your home pitch and the pitch was supposed to be slow. You are suppose to know the conditions very well! We expected you to have Murali in the team!!! What were you even thinking? You are supposed to be Captain Marvel!
With DD scraping through against a meager target, the NRRs haven't taken any beating for either side yesterday. That leaves DC with the ominous task of having to win both their remaining matches. And unfortunately they are heading towards KXIP who are finally on a roll now and seem certain to topple a few apple carts. Would it be DC's cart this time?
Lastly, the Kochi IPL fiasco seems set to make a serious dent in the image of the IPL. Just when the IPL was looking to come good as a brand, the ugly head of politics has pushed it back more than a couple of steps. Time for a rethink may be? Time for BCCI to take control? Time for L-Mod to go?
Here's a new expansion for IPL - Indian Paisa League.
