Yet another another, yet another MOM for Paul Valthaty, proving it wasn't completely a fluke the other day. Not only did Paul smash 75 in 40 odd balls, he also contributed strongly with the ball, taking 4 for 29. Of course, 3 of those came through his secret split finger slow ball, and it will be interesting to see how he copes with the teams who have now watched him and understood his secret.
Been a good IPL so far, with or without Modi. Most fans though are still confused about loyalties, especially after most franchisees went for a complete makeover from the teams in the first 3 seasons. KKR are looking strong under Gambhir, leaving Calcutta fans with a unique problem - protest because of Dada's absence or enjoy the resurgence of the team? And if Dada had finally got his break with Kochi (which didn't happen due to tournament rules..), it would have been a serious question of loyalties for Calcuttans, and SRK + Dada fans like me! The games have been good, the action has been rivetting, and while Kochi has not yet come to the party, Pune Warriors have added some good spice to the action. So now I have an added question - support my home team, or my SRK team? And with Captain Dhoni in CSK, the Pune-Chennai encounter will seriously test me :) And for the normal Puneite, who adores Sachin, the Mumbai-Pune match will border on blasphemy!
No wonder, I am an athiest! :)
