RCB
went down to DC in IPL 5.0 yesterday. Repeated clips of opinion surveys telecasted
during the show indicated that almost 78% favored RCB to go through the
playoffs by beating DC who have been offcolor during this tournament.
RCB
surprisingly went down chasing a modest total once again exposing a major chink in their middle
order. Their batting order number 1, 2 & 3 is solid but if it is cracked
open especially under pressure, the mushy middle order spills out like a gooey.
But
in the final analysis RCB were done more by arrogance than anything else ,
the players seemed to carry the attitude
of their owner brat Siddharth Mallya on
to the field. The manner in which Gayle got out was nothing less cavalier than
his tweeting Boss who earlier 'Twit' ted about Zohal hamid in the most distasteful
fashion. Only a spoilt superbrat could have mustered the arrogance to tweet
such a dumb piece of opinion when the
country was aghast at the sexploits of the marauding Aussie.
Mallya
Sr. will not have any more predicaments while making a choice between IPL &
Monaco grand prix. He would have had a tough choice on hand had his cricket
team made it to the playoffs & then to the finals.
