MSDed the Cup

I am amongst the unfortunate few to have seen the Blue Brigade getting battered into the Black and Blue brigade... N yes, the news channels are smacking their lips. I'm pretty sure that some of them were salivating at the mere thought of this... N now to have this happen, must be feeling orgasmic. Thats the really unfortunate part of cricket in India.. God one day, and god-in-reverse the other.

I really like the appear-disappear routine some of these er... 'experts' have mastered over time. Rohan Gavaskar for eg, dunno how he was pulled out of the deep freezer.. He still had frost on him as he spoke abt the debacle. It was hillarious to hear him speak of batting... shaking off the frost and shivering from time to time... and then mumbling "yeah, it was shoddy.. Look at my pa, take a lesson or two in scoring quickly!"

But watching them debate for a long time abt where India went wrong, i realized they have all got it wrong.. They are all overlooking some key pts, which I have picked up (hehehuhuhaha!!)

1. Hair yesterday, gone today
There was something abt Dhoni and his mane (and i dont mean 'men' from a gujju's vocab) that made him look like Conan the Barbarian.. and really.. sans his long locks he jst looks like a timid mama's boy, and even the cheerleaders fancied a bowl against him. I mean, the moment Dhoni got rid of his hair, he knew wat was coming.. He was soon bending spoons while an old lady bends a tawa, having running races with girls (and losing), skipping practice to be on Facebook and getting his tummy worked up with overdoses of Lays.. Now, i do realize that all this advertising is very much part and parcel of the game. But tell me, if it werent for an inckling of wat was to come, would he be doing ads for PSPO?? Huh? see the point.. Desperation! He knws his charm is gone and there aint nothing he can do about it!

2. Nike:
When the guys at Nike said they'd give us the jerseys, no one signed up to look like a bunch of ma-kis (can't say monkey, coz for some reason, monkey is identified as a human race, and hence is racist!) Other than species of ma-kis, i cant remember seeing anything... anything with a prominently bright coloured posterior... Part of the reason that the batsmen were in a hurry to get out was the constant giggling from square leg. After all, an umpire cant stay serious all the time! I remember seeing them the first time in that and laughin out "hehehehe! orange undies! and his trousers are torn!!!" and then to my horror, i found INDIA on that orange piece of crap, and worse.. THERE WAS NO TEAR!

3. Lashkar and ISI:
No, i can't think of the reason, but arent they always responsible for everything wrong that happens to or in India?

Now, real reason for the debacle is blah blah blum bumble bumble and also some more bumble bumble.. No one needs that! We lost and thats it!

Hmm... this blog felt like a warm shower on a cold winter evening.. Nah! i cant relate to that... It felt like having pani puri at Elco.. Oh, elco... yummm!
