Bangalore were the obvious team to fall apart in the IPL.
They spent too much one on players who are not 2020 players, and then played their non performing players ahead of the only two 2020 players they have.
Their captain, and main selector, is a dinosaur.
I love Rahul Dravid.
Back in his day the boy could bat the house down.
The IPL is long removed from his day.
Now he is a plodder. Not even a probot, he is just a middle order test batsman who refuses to play shots or go out.
But as a one day batsman, or as a 2020 batsman, he is a non event.
As a 2020 captain, he is a disaster.
The team has no vision, no attacking instincts, and are only called a “team” because they all wear the same uniform.
But all this is the fault of whoever picked Dravid as iCON, I’m assuming Vijay Mallya, the owner.
What is Dravid’s fault is the squad selection , Kallis, Jaffer, Kumble, and Chandrepaul.
He picked a squad who could never play against proper 2020 teams.
So that is why Dravid should have been fired before the CEO.
Or dropped.
Cameron White is in the squad, he is the captain of the best 2020 domestic team in the world.
He is also a far better 2020 batsman than Dravid.
The next major mistake was whoever kept Misbah Ul Haq out of the team.
Misbah came into the side late, but the team was already horrible, he had to be the first player picked.
Instead he was kept on the bench for 2 games.
Who made that mistake?
So to recap.
Vijay Mallya, should sell the team for fu©king up in the first place, he should sell it to a Russian mafia billionaire.
Rahul Dravid should step down for not being up to it as captain or batsman, and should retire gracefully, before people remember him as the nervous looking dude who can’t score for hours .
And whoever left Misbah out of the team should be fired, and possibly spanked.
So like all professional sports teams they fired the CEO, who I assume had little to do with any of these mistakes.
Coach, next, manager after that.
