Another DUD

Another day has ended and another loss for the Royal hicccc ..... Challengers . It was known from the very beginning that who was going to win the match and Dr. Mallaya surely knew it. Once the two wickets were gone for two runs the outcome of the match was decided .If it wasn't for Rahul Dravid and Virat Kohli ,the Indian paisa league was bound to see its lowest score today with eight royal challengers getting out with a contribution of only twenty six runs . While five of its batsmen went “quack ,quack ,quack”, sheer lack of coordination between the team showed on the field. Batsmen running without looking where the ball or runner were going . It was sad to see the Royal challengers buckling once again under pressure.

The fatigue due to all the traveling has also started to show on the players .While no team is able to reach the two hundred mark ,number of sixes being hit in each match have also reduced. A good batting pitch is no longer a winning formula for what this league stands for. So the outcome is of coarse struggling batsmen and bowlers bowling wide and no balls, Batsmen getting out while taking runs and poor fielding adding to overall dismal performance . It is no longer that you switch channels and you are going to miss out on some great game.

It is no wonder that players are working overtime .While they are traveling to different destinations on a daily basis ,late night parties after a win or a brainstorming session with the team owner after a lose is taking its toll . In between all this they have to even practice in the scorching sun . Mind you the temperature during the day reach almost 45 degree centigrade and even the early morning are getting hot .

Immediately after the match one of the channels showed Dr. Mallaya in the stadium while the match was on . Boy ,the man surely looked grumpy and it is the first time , I saw him this way . As I have mentioned earlier the man has forgotten how to smile and he made sure to announce his disappointment with the team by not cheering the team at all. While Ms . Kaif stood up and clapped for every four that came after a long haul , trying to do justice to the money given to her as the Brand Ambassador of the RC team ,the redskin cheerleaders sure kept the crowd wanting more . At least some of the RC squad is taking its job seriously. Of course they also fear of loosing their jobs any day now and are working two hundred percent to cheer the man up .

What is wrong with the team RC . It seems every player is playing on his own . In todays match it seemed the batsmen were too keen to get out and hit the bench .It was an effort for them to hit every ball. I think they were more pleased to see their cheerleader dance from the stands and left the job to the next player who would only be too keen to return and pass the buck to the next guy in line . Rahul Dravid of course being the captain of the team was answerable to the team owner and did his part. Virat
Kohli on the other hand needs to get noticed because in the next auction the RC players are going to be dirt cheap with no buyers . With current rankings they are just ahead of Deccan chargers who have been setting the trend for dismal performances by some top class Batsmen.

RC matches are however tending to get predictable and betting junkies can hope not to loose any money by playing on the teams defeat . The odds of their winning may be very high but the chances of winning are pretty less , So only if you want to loose ,bet on RC win seems to be the motto of the Day.
Of course these performances are going to make the Indian paisa league a dud for no one would after some time want to watch a match whose result is predictable from the very first ball of the game.
