thank you, lalit

It is easy to take the piss out of Lalit Modi.

Look he is a greedy wanker who once pleaded guilty to kidnapping.

Look he has paid people to listen to him now the camera is on.

Look he is talking on two phones at once.

Look at his face, he is clearly the Ricky Ponting of Sports Admin.

But, think about what he has done for us.

He has given us three cricket sides that cost roughly 300 Million USD to be put together.

Only 170 Million of that was on the Deccan theme tune.

Then he put these three teams into a tournament especially set up so that they would have a second chance to shine.

He invited others for the hell of it.

And then his 3 millionaire clubs all fell down.

Not one of these sides has even made the semi finals.

That is quite an effort.

Instead we have the great story of the Trinidad & Tobago team captained by the smooth drink of water that is Daren Ganga.

And 3 other teams.

Lalit, i thank you for allowing all of us to laugh at millionaires and IPL teams, while giving us the gift of Ganga.

You are truly a good hearted man.

Daren for world supreme leader

During the L Ron Stanford Super Series thing, one man stood out as a captain, a leader, and someone with a level of proper dignity in him that seemed so removed from the rest of the circus.

His name was Daren Ganga.

While Gayle behaved like a spoilt stepson of a millionaire, and KP like a pretentious old school English wanker, Ganga seemed to accept the series for what it was to Trinidad and Tobago, a chance to earn some money and get some national pride.

They went within one run of England in one of their warm ups, and then in the final T&T restricted Middlesex to 117 and got the runs at the start of the last over with 5 wickets in hand.

In neither game did Ganga make any runs.

As a batsman he is hardly favoured by the nature of 2020 cricket, but as a captain he was a golden god.

He seems to have a natural understanding of cricket, he gets the most out of his players, and makes the tough calls when he has to.

Myself and my occasional Guyanese taxi driver always bond over our love of his captaincy.

In the Champion’s league he has just increased my man love for him.

Now that the West Indies board and the WIPA have decided to settle their differences, they must stop wasting time on captains who do not know how to do the job, or just don’t want to do it.

Ganga is the man for West Indies cricket.

If they give the captaincy to anyone else, they are just wasting their time.

Obviously in this tournament I want Victoria to win, but if T&T do win, I can’t say I’d be any happier than if Victoria win it.

Here is this small domestic team taking on the world cricket’s millionaires, and so far, winning.

Only Dwayne Bravo is a certainty for the Windies, and yet they have beaten the import heavy Somerset, and now the IPL winning Deccan Chargers.

They have spirit, they have belief, and they have Daren Ganga.

I want the Windies to have this as well.

Fuck I want everyone to have it, right now I would vote Daren in as world supreme leader.

Go T&T, take them all down.

Boxing Day Test #2

The second Test match in progress, beginning on Boxing day is out of South Africa, with the home nation hosting the once mighty West Indies.

The West Indies were sent in and quite suprisingly have made a very strong fist of things up until tea time. Gayle and Ganga, a ying and yang combination if you have ever seen one, put on a very solid and relatively risk free 98 for the first wicket. Gayle contributed 66 and Ganga 33.

Dale Steyn has continued his good form bowling fast, but at times a little wayward. Marlon Samuels has moved onto a well made 45 and the great rock Chanderpaul has just joined him at the crease. This pair has seen the score move onto 3/193.

The immortal Graeme Smith has reached a milestone, captaining South Africa for the 50th time in Test cricket……..quite amazing for a no talent thug wanna be. He moves within 3 Tests of tieing the equally impressive individual, the late great Hansie Cronje, who we all remember for almost single handedly ruining the great game of Test cricket.

This one may be worth watching in the coming days, if the West Indies can hold their nerve………
