Of course Ganguly was out of question because Buchanan wanted to control the team and with Ganguly as captain, Buchanan would have less powers in his hand.<br /><br />Unfortunately for KKR, Ganguly is much better in motivating a young side and his tactical skills are really good. Just that the same old power struggle led to Ganguly being thrown out as captain.<br /><br />In fact i feel Buchanan announced his multiple captaincy theory just to ease the blow when Ganguly was dropped as captain. Where are the multiple captains now??Raydennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-25865371097065441162009-05-08T16:36:00.000+04:002009-05-08T16:36:00.000+04:00Rayden: what i dont understand is that with 2 int'...Rayden: what i dont understand is that with 2 int'l captains in the line up (Gayle, Ganguly), why McCullum was asked to captain. I dont think he had any prior captaincy experience. Even Hodge, who has a lot of 20-20 experience was a better choice IMO.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-70364696686910392262009-05-08T15:42:00.000+04:002009-05-08T15:42:00.000+04:00Ah so sticky something meant Ricky Ponting.

I think Buchannan wants him because he has good relations with Ponting. <br /><br />I wouldn't mind giving Brendon Mcullum another chance as long as Buchanan is gone. Or else best thing - get back our dada as the captain :-)Raydennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-50139820545278170482009-05-08T04:06:00.000+04:002009-05-08T04:06:00.000+04:00Rayden: i have no idea who he/she/it is.. but I ag...Rayden: i have no idea who he/she/it is.. but I agree.. that whole thing abt McCullum and Buchanan was funny. I too hope it happened.

This happened during the 2-3 days that FIP did not post.<br /><br />This news was flashing across various mediums, and then after 3 days FIP re-emerged with the post saying that he had to lie low cos everyone was looking for him.<br /><br />So before FIP talked abt the witch hunt.. everyone else did, starting with the KKR CEO - Joy Bhattacharya.<br /><br />It was the KKR camp that announced that FIP wud be sent back to India, not FIP himself.<br /><br />I agree with you that FIP has not been able to keep the hype up, but I really think its cos of a reason - a deal has been brokered.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-80713023119899092962009-05-08T04:01:00.000+04:002009-05-08T04:01:00.000+04:00GoodCricketWicket: my point exactly.. and Lalit Mo...GoodCricketWicket: my point exactly.. and Lalit Modi knows that. the thing is that if the officials wanted to find out who it was, I highly doubt they would have trouble in doing so.. with the kind of security and IT tracking there is these days, no one can stay anonymous on the net.. which is why i believe that the IPL people know who it is.. they realise its value and have smartly not disclosed who it is, despite saying that they will.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-75425957324219740282009-05-07T23:08:00.000+04:002009-05-07T23:08:00.000+04:00Ok so who is the Fake IPL Player?

I like his latest post where he talks about Brendon Mcullum telling Buchanan atleast he is not the coach of the waterpolo match or something like that.

There have been so many inaccuracies in his posts, and the convenient excuses about suddenly not getting into the meetings or the like to cover up for them, that I honestly have a hard time believing anything coming out from there. It used to be a fun blog, but as you mention whoever it is thats writing is having a hard time living up to the hype. I'll tell you what, someone getting as many hits as he does has no real need to tie up with Modi or anyone in the IPL!achettuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16177809419856216677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-57934474550792935952009-05-07T16:21:00.000+04:002009-05-07T16:21:00.000+04:00The problem is that Fake's whole popularity lies i...The problem is that Fake's whole popularity lies in the fact that he is letting the IPL's dirty secrets out of the bag.<br /><br />Once he becomes just another part of Lalit's business plan, he loses his appeal - he is just another corporate marketing exercise.<br /><br />Which means that the IPL/KKR/Fake himself will have to keep the identity secret. As soon as it becomes public, the concept dies.GoodCricketWickethttp://goodcricketwicket.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
