No. Just no.

Lalit Modi hints at two IPLs in the same year.

Bull shit. 'Nuff said.

Also, am at home to watch the second semifinal. Chennai vs Bangalore, live. Bring it on!

Chennai have never looked like champions this tournament and I'm frankly surprised that they've made it this far. Absolutely pathetic.

Bangalore on the other hand have also never looked like champions (quite frankly, only Delhi ever did, and we all know now what happened to them), but at least they haven't served up pathetic like Chennai has. And Anil Kumble is on a wild high. And their fielders can actually catch . That's something.

Let's see if the Men in Startlingly Bright Yellow can get their act together at least this time and put all their hands up in a convincing win that belies their run so far in the tournament.

... What? I totally support Chennai. I just believe in tough love.

Also came across an interesting interview of Albie Morkel and he talks about the dressing room team song.... written by Stephen Fleming and George Bailey. I mean, WTF? (I would love to hear it)

I was talking about this to a friend of mine. She was confused. "Don't they already have a team song? I mean, Chennai, Chennai Super -- "

"Nope this is different. Dressing room stuff. Top secret."

A small pause, before, "Oh. Makes total sense. An excellent idea."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, I mean, what if one of them gets lost or something? It's like one of those old movies where long lost brothers find each other by humming the same song. Nifty stuff."

"... Oookaay..."

"Yeah, seriously!" She began to get excited. "Picture this: Dhoni all alone, lost in South Africa, humming the song, and somebody like Albie Morkel happens to hear it, he'll know, right? And then he'll come rushing and go --"

"Emmmm Esssss!" we crowed together, and found coherence through laughter only thirteen minutes and 56 seconds later.

Yes, I'm totally mature and I keep totally mature company, I know. As if you hadn't figured that out already from how mature this blog is.

Aww... c'mon Chennai hasn't been that bad. Even Warnie said they are his faves.

Anyway doesn't look like they'll even reach 150 today. Sniff.

146/5.

Okay. I ain't gonna judge anybody anything right now (except that Dhoni is friggin useless, never liked the idea of him coming in at 3 from the beginning).

What have we got? We got Murali. Jakati. Raina. Right.

Morkel. Oram. Hm.

Gony. He's enough to lose us the game. If not through bowling, surely through a dropped catch or two.

What have they got?

Ross Taylor.Jaques Kallis. Robin Uthappa. Virat Kohli. Hm.

Gotta say, Deccan vs Bangalore for the final looking more than likely.
