Sree, let me dispel any false notions. God's gift to women, you are not.
PS: your only girlfriend (cricket) who happens to be a good friend of mine, mentioned that she was not pleased with you either for getting hammered for 3 sixes by Hayden and general bowling at the death. That relationship is in jeopardy.

Time outs
Modi may change the timeout method for the semis and finals.
- Teams are finally getting used to 7.5 mins "strategy break", and there is a thought of switching it for this year's finale? If it is not for commercial reasons (as no one is watching the IPL during the break), why would they consider switching it at the end of the tournament.
- If common sense prevails, a new rule will not tested in the semis and finals.
- Lastly 2.5 mins of ads is still enough of a incentive to watch/do something else. Wonder if the advertisers will buy into this concept.

Yuki Bhambri wins another title
Have been reading on and off about this young tennis player. Appears to be performing consistently well. Well done Yuki! He has also won the Australian open junior title. BTW, does anyone know if he was brought up in India or abroad?
New plot
Chris Gayle has been granted permission to stay an extra day or two in the IPL before he flies to join his team which he captains.
Incidentally, this was quoted on the official website (from McCullum's interview). "On his conversation with the umpires before the start of the 19th over: One of the guys (Graham Napier) had a flight to catch. They were asking if they can take him off and get another player out there. Obviously they needed our approval or they would have to field out there with 10 players. Once we found out the reason was, we said he could go and they could bring a replacement."
Should you be allowed to play a man who has to leave before a match ends. What would have happened if he had been batting?
Back to Chris Gayle and in true bollywood fashion with the idea from Stanford, here is a storyline.
The stadium is packed, but no sign of the captain. Anxious friends, fans and family pray fervently. Then he is sighted, in a helicopter, padded and with a bat in hand and a suitcase full of IPL earnings. Everyone applauds, but the helicopter can't land as the players are already in the field -- more anxious moments. But he does a Akki like stunt from the helicopter, leaps to the crease, and hits the first ball for six...

"... Ganguly bowled by a duck" heard in the news yesterday -- (I believe on cnn-ibn).
Given KKR's struggles, anything is possible...?
