Comings Soon: 5 IPL Movies

So the IPL is finally over... Sigh ! Thanks everybody and thank you Sachin !
Saurabh Tiwari is poster boy of IPL Bosses for finishing off with a DLF Maximum !

So now it is time for some entertainment.
And what way better than with some movies ?
Cricket and Cinema drive this nation crazy.
So here are 5 movies inspired by the IPL...
Coming Soon...


Pirate of the Caribbean
The Pirate 'Finally' Falls
Jilted by the West Indian Cricket board, an irate Christopher Henry wrecks Gayle storms in East Indian Cricket show piece. He slaughters the hapless bowlers before 'Finally' falling for the Super King's guile ! He walks away with individual laurels even as the Super Kings celebrate.


The Mommy Returns
The Turbanator and The Mommy !
The Turbanator lifted the Mommy last time around. Still the Mommy went home without a win. The claim was they lost 160 millions in 2010. They wanted a sequel with a hope to rake in the moolah. This time too, The Mommy Returns; Empty-handed !


Father and Son
Father and Son
The Father and Son live in a world of their own; a gigantic world. They sell beer and fly Kingfisher with beautiful girls. The son has a 'Dum Belle' in tow. They even rope in the Pirate as their hit-man. But when it comes to the final hurdle, the King of good times falls in to bad times, the Prince becomes Pauper and the Belle sings "Dumb maaro Dumb".



Beastly
The Beastly Slinga !
The terrorized batsmen ran for safety to save their toes as the 'Slinga' went berserk through IPL. But may be he went weak in the knee during the final week. The Mommy returned home sad for the God !


The Hangover II
The Hangover Spills Over to Galleries !
What do you do when you already have a hit which has broken many records ? You make a sequel. But the trick is to make it bigger, better and more banging. This is exactly what Hangover II attempts, and manages competently. The Yellows had the Reds for a swallow. This will linger on for the Cricket Crazy Chennai fans ! This is the 'Biggest Hit' in Tamilnadu that doesn't have Rajnikanth in it !


The End !

What do I do when low on Cricket Adrenaline ?

Team India are the reigning World Champions in ODI Cricket.

We also have the World No. 1 Test Team since over a year.

IPL attracts more eyeballs than most of the International series.

Rahul Sharma and Sreenath Aravind have bowled with promise.

Ambati Rayudu and Paul Valthaty have enlivened the proceedings.

Shane Warne believes Rohit Sharma is a Master in the making.

Tendulkar is still hungry for runs and Dravid isn't finished either.

Virat Kohli is batting well and shows guts as Captain of men.

Sehwagging reached epitome before he was shouldered out.

Gambhir is taking both Captaincy and his name too seriously.

Ashish Nehra continues to recover from one injury after another.

Yuvi continues to prove he is a different player in Indian Colors.

Munaf bowled well till he lost his head and match to Amit Mishra.

Sreesanth excels as Sreesanth and bowls 5 good balls in an over.

Bhajji hasn't slapped Sree and called Symonds a Gentleman... Man !

So much happening and Mumbai Indians choking before the Finals !

So much of action, fun and excitement has not really excited me. Why ?

Why am I dormant compared to my normal over-talkative standards ?

Very often this happens to me during those never-ending ODI series.

Every single IPL season, I have felt it as it comes to the business end.

Tendulkar may be God to millions and many who don't believe in God.

Sehwag may be the most destructive batsman in all forms of Cricket.

Gayle may have redefined the IPL Batsmanship taking it to a new height.

I realized something today. I am going through a trough in Crickinterest.

I realized today that I am missing something, rather missing someone !

Fortunately I know what to do when I feel so low on Cricket Adrenaline...

I just watch THIS !




Post Script: I can sit through an entire day and then through the night watching VVS bat with the tail in tow than suffer some of that 'Cricket' played by the likes of Sunny Sohal and Manish Pandey; the Masters of Inelegance !

The Best IPL Knock I have seen !

Some Factistics [Factual Statistics]

Pitch playing a ripper and Sreesanth bowling almost underground.
4 down for 2 in the second over and later 35 for 3 in the seventh.
7 team-mates scored 61 runs of 75 balls with 3 fours and 2 sixes.
Take out 33 from 20 by Pathan and Britt during slog and it becomes 28 from 55 balls.
The ball managed to cross the ropes only twice from the other end when he batted.
All other batsmen together managed 9 fours and 5 sixes of 188 balls scoring 173 runs.

He got out at his team score of 132 but not before making 80 runs of 47 balls.
5 scintillating sixes and 8 fabulous fours at a strike rate of 170 [10 RPO].
People might say a lot of things. They might talk about Valthaty and Gayle.
Kohli holds the orange cap. Sachin the most consistent. Many have fired.
Rohit has played well too and David Hussey hit the longest six so far.

He was honest and accepted his team was suffering because he had failed to fire.
And in spite of a bad shoulder and a worse pitch, he needed to fire !
Delhi languishing at the bottom of the table needed the Captain for resurrection.

Harsha Bhogle tweeted Yuveraj and Sehwag are better India players than IPL players.
He was right. Well, mostly. Somehow Sehwag prefers the bigger stage to ignite.

The partisan crowd at Kochi didn't realize how fortunate they were today.
They have witnessed one of the rarest of the rare Gems today on a tough pitch.
In conditions like this where their own team has lost 20 wickets for a total of 187 runs...
Resurrection Man !
And the de facto Fact - QED:
Virendar Sehwag's 80 today is easily 'The Best' IPL knock I have seen so far !
I rest my case !

Yuckmal and other World Cup Trivia - Part-1

The Cricket World Cup is on and I landed back on Terra Firma with a resounding thud this evening. My second favorite team was Kamraned initially and then Taylored. From then it went all Southee-wards. So now we have some fun on the KumRun and Pakistan is back to being Pakistan.

Here is a random look at some of the trivia from the action up till now.

Finally... He caught something !
It is reported that 'KumRun' Akmal finally 'caught' something. Well, it turned out to be a stomach bug. And he 'dropped' again; this time in his pants ! His team-mates now call him Yuckmal !

Shoaib Aqthar recommended for Nobel Peace Prize. For not mugging Yuckmal.

People are unnecessarily being harsh on Kakmal. He confessed to his younger brother that he was just being nice to the Birthday Boy. But he is cut up with Taylor for not reciprocating the gesture.

Bollywood stunt masters have used boxing gloves, hockey sticks, stumps and even a basketball to wreck violence on celluloid. They now have added an exciting new weapon, "The Groin Protector" !

Bangladesh fans believed their team was full of 'Rock Stars'. But the team played as if they belonged to the 'Stone age'. So the 'Stones Rocked' and there was a Gayle storm on Twitter.
Chris Gayle
This is some bullshit.....Bangladesh stoning our bus!!! Freaking glass Break!!! This is crap,can't believe..what next bullets!!!! Kiss teeth 4 Mar 

Piyush Chawla is taking his batting seriously. Well, who is taking his bowling seriously ?

Dhoni planning to promote Yusuf in the batting order. Then which position will he win matches from any position ?

Munaf Patel lauded by Dhoni for a fine effort in the field. He managed to beat the ball to the fence and picked it outside the ropes.

Ashish Nehra fit to play. He actually walked from the Team Bus to the ground on his own legs.

Sreesanth heard talking to a friend about cutting a music CD. Dhoni mistook it for LCD and gave Sree a public dressing down.

The Pepsi ad is doomed. 'Palti hit' has herniated. 'Upar Cut' isn't going Upar enough. 'Doosra' is missing in action. 'Pallu scoop' isn't Dilshining. Most importantly the 'Helicopter' hasn't taken wings and the 'Fan' is stuck.

But Indian Captain has rejected outright, the theory that he has lost the flair. Dhoni explained, "Helicopter is also called Chopper. You all must have noticed I am chopping a lot these days. So you still can watch me play 'Chopper Shots'. In the end, we all mature over a period of time"

Kohli is the newest addition to the 'Atheists' gang. He Viratified the Sachin LBW verdict and then asked the God to take a walk !

South Africa have rubbished the reports that they choked against England. Smith said, "We played our natural game and will continue to do so in future" !

Afridi is reported to be upset and asked Umar Gul, "How could you get How out ?". Jamie How made 4 runs of 29 balls with a striking strike rate of 13.79.

Umar Gul took the only catch in the New Zealand innings. All other catches went in One direction.

"Our bowling is weak" say Indian experts. An in depth analysis has revealed the reason. All our batsmen are on some kind of energy boosters. Like Sachin on Boost. But none of the bowlers are on anything. That explains Yuveraj's new found vigor. He has been "Revitalized" !

I just noticed I have completed a Century on "Doctoring the Balls". But to prevent this post from becoming a calamity like the 47th over of New Zealand innings, I declare here. I will come back, as random as random comes !
