IPL Practice for ICC World Twenty20

Hi

We kept hearing this from everyone. IPL is going to tire the players for the world cup. Teams coming fresh to the world cup have got more chances and all the crap. Seeing the results of past few games. I think its just the opposite. IPL has prepared the players for the world cup.

See the players who are performing. Most of them have been in IPL. The way Indian side played their first match against Bangladesh I was star struck! They never looked tensed. Just before 15th Over. I started thinking we are going to loose our very first match. And then we saw Yuvi make it look so simple. Not for a moment he looked angry frusted. He looked calm cool. Each of his shots were no slogs. They were clean cut shorts. With 18 ball 41 run. I knew there was no stopping India. See the way New Zealand is playing now. We all know their team to play hard cricket. But I think IPL has certainly helped them a lot. South Africa is totally in command of their game. IPL II was a blessing for them. All their players are sharp and in Twenty20 mood. Yesterday performers in England team were also main players in IPL. This is a slap to all those who thought that IPL will make them weak for the world cup. 

I am looking forward to exciting World Twenty20. I pray we win again. India India India. India bole Ane De.

Why King XI Punjab can never win Against Chennai Super Kings?

Hi,

I am a Sikh. Sardar. Punjabi. But I did not support Kings XI Punjab in IPL. And I will not support them until they change their Captain. I am not saying Kings XI dont have a great team! They Do they have one of the most competative sides in IPL. I am also not saying that Yuvraj is not a good player.  He is an exelent player. But not a captain!

I think Yuvraj always wants to prove a point that he is better than Dhoni. While playing for India its not very much evident cause Dhoni handles his players very nicely. He is know about his players so he is able to get the best out of them. How does he do that ? He gives his players full freedom to do what ever they want! But Just gives them directions. Like when to show aggression  and when not to show aggression. Like Gautam Gambir is an aggressive player. Normally I would tell him go play your game. But in tough situations when wickets are falling I would say “Man you are great Batsman. Very Aggressive but now we have to prove people that you can take some responsibility and Show your class. ” doing this you are even respecting him showing your faith. And also trying to get best out of him.

Yuvraj if you would have seen him in IPL I or II. He shows that he is very Aggressive. Always shout at his team mates on field. Which I think is wrong! He always acts as-if he has a point to prove to BCCI. That he would have been a better captain than Dhoni.

You can see the history it will tell you. KXIP has never won a game against CSK. Its not that CSK have a better team. Its just Dhoni and Captaincy that makes all the difference. So my advice to Yuvraj will be. Be the player you are. Dont try to be something you are not. Step down as captain. Make Jaywardhane or Sangakara as Captain. Play your Game. Go to Anger Management Classes. We will win Matches. And Yeah I will support Punjab.

Why I love Team Rajasthan Royals!

Hi ,

I know It has been very long since I wrote anything on my blog. But this IPL is making me write again. I thank it for that. Hopefully I would countinue Posting new articles even after IPL.

My last post was about Why Kolkota Knight Riders can never win any game. Today I would like to write about a true team! Let me be clear I am do not suport Rajasthan Royals as such. I am a Mumbai Indian supporter. But I love when I see good game of cricket or when I see Masters at work like the last game of Mumbai Indian Vs Rajistan Royals.

I feel RR are the only true team in entire IPL. I bet if there is any close match against RR with anyother team in IPL. They are sure to come out as winners. We just saw that in last match. This team is so amazing that some time i cant have enough of this team. You would have seen their run to Finals and winning last IPL. This time too. You just cant rule out RR. Most of the credit goes to only one man. Shane Warne. He is one of the most amazing cricketer that world would every see. The Man thinks and lives Cricket. You would have heard this line number of time. And I would repeat it again here. He is a Captain that Austerila never had. I thank IPL and Rajasthan Royals for giving him this chance. 

See the way he manages his team. He goes to players who sometime dont know what he is talking to him but even then Is encouraged and always try to exel his abilities. We can see how much respect the team has for him. And he never disappoints his team. Time and again he always leads from front. People would argue who is the best Captain in IPL. Most of them I am sure would point out to MS Dhoni. But I think Shane Warne is far far more better captain than MS Dhoni. MS Dhoni has great players in his team. He gives them responsibilites and the work on it. But RR they dont have great players. Very few Big names. But when you see them play. Damn its refreshing. I remember my school days when we all came together to win Volley Ball Matches. I m sure its same for them.

After last match with Mumbai Indians this is what Rajasthan Royals Team Manager had to say.

The previous match between the two teams was washed out by rains and so, with Tendulkar again on the opposite side on Thursday, there was “no way to stop” Warne, who had his leg strapped up, says the Royals’ director of coaching Darren Berry.

“We — Jeremy (Snape), the physio, and I — warned Shane against playing the game. But with Tendulkar in their team, there was no way to stop him,” Berry said.

“His leg was strapped up but he said he was playing. And when he says he is playing, it doesn’t matter what we are saying,” he was quoted as saying by the official IPL website.

It’s not that he wants to prove anyone that he is one of the Greats Cricket will ever see. But It is pure passion for the game and the Idea to be challeged by someone who is just like him. A Fighter, A great Cricketer And A Legend.

I salute Sharne Warne. One of the Best Cricketers the world would see. And the way he is leading a bunch of young guys. If Mumbai Indians do not make it to Semi Finals. I would be there for Royals to cheer them. And to see this master at work.

And the Reason I love Rajasthan Royals!

1. Shane Warne.

2. Shane Warne.

3. Shane Warne.

4. Team Spirit.

5. Yousaf Pathan.

Why Kolkata Knight Riders Cant Win!

KKR is same team like anyother team in IPL. They have got some great players. Who are very good when playing for their country! But why cant they perform as a team. 

Here are some of my reasons.

1. Because its Bengal!

2. Because its Owned by SRK. Which mean too much Show off nothing in content!!! Same like his movies. Actually exactly like his movies. They are all bull shit. No story. They Sell just because SRK is there in it. Same thing in IPL. They did not even get to Semi Finals but KKR got hightest Profit than any other team.

3. Saurav Ganguly. He might be getting good runs. But I think there is something Negative about him because he did not get Captaincy in IPL.

4. Lot of Ego and too many Big Names in their teams.

5. Team Coach, John Buchanan must resign. He not Innovative enoght for this format of Game. This was proved by Sharne Warne and Sachin with their Captaincy.

6. Team is all about Show off and no work. All they do is Advertisments. I think KKR has highest number of Ads being Aired on TV.

I would welcome any Comments.

BTW I am MI supporter!

Mumbai Meri Jaan : The City Of Dreams III

Hi

I had been following Mumbai Investigation and Progress very closely like everyone here. I had previously writen 2 blogs about the progress of Mumbai Attack(Link1 and Link2). The City and people are throwing out right emotions. People want actions rather than politicaians using this for their personal Votes!

There has been interesting Reactions accross borders too. You would laugh like hell if you some of these videos. Its amazing how people come up with such beautiful stories. I know people are fools but they surely should not go on proving it. Let me start with How they started to fool around with America and got F*&^ed instead.

Hope you remember when War was going on in Afganistan. America said the Taliban and Al-Quaida is in Pakistan Borders. What was the first reaction? No there is no terrorist operating in Pakistan Soil and all bullshit. When after sometime they got all the proff. And America stuck up in their …. They finally aggreed Yes! There might be some terrorist in hiding in some villages. As some village heads were sentimental towards them. I understand cause they are of your own. After sometime you realize all the planning and work is going on in Islamabad. This is when Lal Mazid stuff happened. Who the hell has that many Guns and Ammunation in a Mazid? Everyone prepared to take on Pakistan Army? What the hell ? How did they get in there ? How did so many Guns and Ammunation were there ? Did no one notice all this happening in Capital of their country? Come on! I know there were some boom blast in Delhi too. Its not that the terrorist were trained in Delhi!!! How come you have then in Your Capital ?

I know No one would agree if such things happen. Anyway. Here are some of the videos for good laughter! I am sure you would enjoy them. Link1 and Link2

Here is another AMAZING Link proving the involvement of Certain Group in Pakistan.

Hope you enjoyed that one. Here is the latest update from our side.

MUMBAI REACTS

We all expected Mumbai to be normal the very next day. It was wrong of us and wrong of me too. We just cannot forget whats going around us. If today it was my neighbour tomorrow it can be me! There were processions and peace march every where around the city. I really liked what people came up to say. Politicians does not deserve Z- plus Security. The Citizen of this country does.

OBAMA INDIA HAS RIGHT TO PROTECT ITSELF

Rightly said Mr.Obama. India does have rights to protect itself. And its high time that Politicians realize that too. We must not allow any of our Neighbours to plot attacks against us. There has been news lately that Terrorists are even being trined in Bangladesh. Didn’t we give freedom to that country. And now they come back and try to F&^% around with us? The best solution to this is Attack the terrorist camps where we think they are. If anyone question us. We can say it wasn’t us. Give us proff. If they give us proof then we will say again it wasn’t us. Simple after 6 months no one will remember. Simple Easy Solution.

PRANAB MUKARJEE TALK TOUGH

Finally there was someone who talked something. It felt atleast little better when Pranab Mukarjee told that we are not ruling out miltary action agaist Terrorist Camps accross Border. It would be even more better if we attacked. Put words to Action.

PAKISTAN MEDIA REACTION

Most of the pakistan media’s reaction is that India planned this attack on themselves! Some said the terrorist caught is a Sikh! I know there was terrorism in Punjab. I dont think there is anything like that now. We are Indians and would not do anything against our Country. And hopefully you all already checked out the links above. 

BOLLYWOOD, CRICKET WORLD RECATIONS

Hope you all heard this story. This country has never honoured its real heroes. You saw what Kerala Chief Minester told about Major Unnikrishnan when his father did not allow him to enter his house. I am 100% sure he came  here just for Publicity. Which I am sure he got. He told not even Dog will go to his funeral ? How come such a cheap remark come? That to for a person who died doing duty for this country? Major Unnikrishnan died protecting his own men and trying to rescue people from TAJ and this is what a Chief Minister has to say ? Does any Chief Minister has his son in Army protecting his country ? NO!

When India won T20 World Cup I know it was great. I loved every moment of it but when I see kind of money given to Cricketers and kind of money Army and Defence get it makes me sick to my stomach! What do we think are criketers greater than these men who fought for us? Is that the message we are sending? If govenment want its people to join Defence they better start working on it. They wasted our money on Cricketers. But did not pay these NSG Police and Army people enough. Hope we start thinking that our Tax money is in better hands.

Our IPL cheif and BCCI is worried about how are they going to make money. How things are going to change after this rather than thinking about the security of people. All they think about is Money thats all. Once Taj was captured back. They started planning on their schedules. I know we have to think beyond this and not let terrorist control our living. But you must have feeling for people of Mumbai too. Who have just come out of such a terible truma.

Entertainment world like us I would say started writing blogs. I dont write for media to read it. Its more like expressing my feeling to people around. But I dont think its same with Actors. I saw news people talk about Amithab’s Blog instead of listening to reaction of common people. Celebrities does  not come in common people they are not! I knew there would be reaction in media world with some of people asking Pakistani Actors and performers to leave India. In some News Channel I saw Abjeet asking Pakistani Performers to leave our country. Come on its not they who planned the attack. It was just a publicity Stunt by him. Probably some great singers from our neighbouring country cost him his singing Job. Though if there is any connection that they are supporting then they must be thrown out of our country.(Pakistanis – See We are not too negative people. We just hate your policies of supporting terrorist to attack us. Or trying to claim Kashmir which is Our State. Other than that you are allowed to come here show your talent. I do agree there are some great singers from Pakistan who make a lot of money here.)

INDIAN MUSLIM PEACE MARCH.

Indian Muslims showing the way to the world that what every Al-Quida or any terrorist orgainsation doing in the name of Islam is wrong. I feel that Muslims in our country are one of the most true followers of Islam. They dont try to prech hate against west. They try to live in harmony. Though there are some misleaded people. But I have a feeling that there are people misleaded every where. The reaction not to bury the terrorist bodies in Indian Soil was like a music to my ears I tell you. Islam does not peach hate and killing of innocent people. No religion does! Hopefully people accross borders try to go in their foot step.

PAKISTAN CRACK DOWN ON LeT

Finally Pakistan is reacting! There has been reports that all the training centres of LeT is in Armies Control. Hopefully it stays like this. LeT Chief is arrested. That is another good news. Its good that they have reacted to this. I always believed if you dig a hole for others to fall into, sooner or later you are going to fall into it. They should react fast to growing terrorist in Pakistan or it is going to end up like Palastain and Somalia. I pray it does not happen to them like that. It would create bigger problem to us and them.

Jai Hind
