So, SKR's team KKR not goimg to the semis.
OINK!!!!
It seems very weired to me (not that KKR is a great team)..but because the owner is SRK, who was coaxed into pumping money by both lalit Modi and the rest of BCCI, so that IPL can get the right buzz for launch. So, how come lalit Modi can desert SRK at this moment.? Cant get my matchs/analysis clear at the moment.

IPL: Ha-Ha-Ha
Did I not say CSK will "loss" a few more matches?! And what about Mumbai Indians "winning" against the winning teams? Yeah they will keep doing just that to the run upto the semis...by the grace of Ambani, Modi and Co. Its so obvious, its getting onto my nerves! Its like what the book "FReakonomics" talk about SUMO wrestlers, the point system the game has and when do they have the "incentive" to throw up games. Read the book and you can more or less predict the results of most of the matches in IPL in the coming two weeks even before they are played!
IPL: Impact of FIRANGI Captain
Firangi Captain seems to bring the best of luck to the teams in the DLF IPL. First Shane Warne, then Shaun Pollock and now Adam Gilchrist! Guess, Deccan Chargers might pray and keep VVS Laxman out of the tournamnet for the time being so that DC can win some matches under the captaincy of Gilchrist!
About Sachin, I know he wont play till the very last maybe before the semis or very well in the meis.. He is afraid, that if the team loses, and he is the captain, he will have to face the music. So let others battle it out and thn when the dust has settled, he will walk gloriously. I know that kind of player---One of the best players in the world but one of the worst captains in the universe!

IPL: Are some matches fixed?
It was there in the back of my mind when the City-franchisees were bought..so much money thrown around. Will the owners sit quite and let go of their money just like that?
Like for instance SRK, who I'm pretty sure Rajiv Shukla and Lalit Modi requested him to buy one team, cause it will add the buzz nad the glamour required to kickstart this big BCCI dream called IPL. It happened, maybe , when the Indian Team won the T20- WC, 2007 and SRK happen to be present there to cheer for the team. Also, at that time Chak De happened and it became a hit. So SRK buying an IPL team would be the best bet to get all the buzz going in favour of IPL, when it was recieveing many flakes from different quarters of the game. Also, it was SRk's best bet to make his "retirement" secure. He could use his team to do promos for his future productions and also earn revenue through sponsorship. But, there is this catch, if the Team isnt performing, will one can sponsorship? For how long?
As I have been watching it closely, some of the games seem so "fixed". Like take the Team MUMBAI, its the costliest team bought by one of the richest men in the world! Its not that bad a team, but it is also a not a very winning combination. So, when it started to lose one game after another, it came as no surprise to any one. It was the day before Mumbai team( after 4 consecutive losses) were to take on the KKR in their own home ground and everyone felt, match will definitely to be won by KKR. I was feeling, maybe not, cause if Mumbai would have lost that day to KKR, they would surely be "out" of the race for Semis, even thought they would hv to play on...and will the owner of the costliest team in the IPL, allow that to happen. Is he such a mad man? I knew then and there KKR will lose the match and keep the interest in the Mumbai Teams alive and also in the IPL.
More prediction of mine came true when I told people again that now CSK will lose some game and Mumbai Team will win the match against Team Delhi, cause its important to keep the matches in IPL interesting. Otherwise Four clear winners for semis will emerge out very fast and people will lose interest in the future games and IPL. Also, so many big names investing so much of their money, will they just let it go down the drain???? I'm pretty sure, IPL people and some of the big owners will try and keep the interest going in the matches by fixing some of the matches for sure. I'm also confident that they will try and might come up with Two genuine clear Semifinalist Teams by 21st May around, while for the other Two semifinalist, they will try and make it more interesting till the very end of the tournament. So, expect some very unexpected (or expected shall we say )defeat of performing teams by non performing teams. Like maybe, today, RCB might just "win" over Punjab , so that RCB can make "room" for KKR on Thursday's game. Or it could also happen that KKR might have some straight "wins " in the future. Now Lalit Modi can't upset SRK, or can he? He cant upset Ambani either, so expect some "wins" by Mumbai Team also in the tournament. Ambani might be given a place in the semis as, well and if not that, atleast 5th position or so.....lets see what happens? I would very much like to be proved wrong! Cause, Its another face of IPL, I am starting to dislike...

To KKR- Letter from an ex-fan
Dear KKR Team,
Somehow I always felt that you were a weak team when the auction happened. However, since I belong to the place you represent in IPL, I had all the emotions attached to a home team. In the first match, Mccullum's runs gave the bowlers confidence and you had a convincing victory and I rejoiced. In the second match I thought you would loss given Deccan Chargers were a very very strong team. However, luck played a role and you won. I always worried about your batting line up and yes its the batting that is letting you down all the time from that match onwards. And it has not improved an iota! Bowling is a good from your side but how can you expect your bowlers to defend a palrty score of 130-140 in a T20 match?
I somehow feel ..you are not going to win a single match in future and will be out of the tournament even before Mumbai Indians does.
Its really frustrating to watch, all team fighting to win and you are fighting how not to win. Disappointing to say the least!
Shame on me for changing my first opinoin of your team before the start of the tournament. It was the right opinion. Just like SRK' s movies- much hyped but no substance same with his team KKR- all hype and no quality play. I think both SRK and his team KKR should go and take a hike!
