Amazing Blog

Just been given the link to this one, its absolutely amazing. Its an actual IPL player who doesnt get a game writing about the whole team and all the rows etc theyve been having in the camp over the last month. Its quite funny if you get some of the names, the team hes talking about is Kolkata and theres some big names in it, Lord Almighty is Sourav Ganguly and Calypso King is Chris Gayle. Of the other teams, Paedophile Priest is Adam Gilchrist, Sheikh of Tweak is Shane Warne and Prince of Patiala is Yuvraj Singh, took me a while to work that one out. Imagine if it were a Premiership player doing this, it would be class. He says how everyone in the camp knows about the blog now and theyve had teams meetings about it too. I reckon its real, he seems to know whats going on too much for it to made up. Its only four days old and look at the interest in it!

  2. Hes the man!

    "there was banter, all in good humour. I tell you, this Calypso King is the most interesting character I have ever met. He is really funny... I mean... rrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeaaallllly funny. And he has this poker faced way of ribbing people that had everyone in splits" THATS CHRIS GAYLE ALL OVER!

    Just been trying to guess who it is on msn with a mate, he reckons its Aakash Chopra.

  3. He fits nicely into the hints he gives away but that might all be directing it away from the real person.

  4. "Play your strokes in the first 6, get to about 50-1. Then Lordie guides the middle order through. Keep wickets till the 15th. And then go hammer and tongs. Brilliant strategy coachie. But for one small problem. What happens if we are 20-3 off 8. We hadn't planned for that. So, one player walks in and starts auditioning for a test match role. When he gets out, the next one walks in and wallops a six off the first ball. And then, predictably gets out. To each his own, that seemed to be the mantra."

    Class..

  5. you're right, it's gold. Not 100% convinced it's a player, but even still, a damn good read. A bit like the Warwick Todd Diaries (piss-take of the Steve Waugh tour diaries) written by an Australian comedian.
