Royal Challengers Commit Suicide

So its looking like its going well for the home team at Bangalore against the as-yet-unbeaten Chennai SuperKings. Two batsmen have gotten 50s, and the team needs to score at a comfortable 8 runs an over with 7 wickets in hand. Looks like its going to be an easy win from here for the Bangalore Royal Challengers.

But then, inexplicably, the Royal Challengers just throw away their wickets. Rahul Dravid leads from the front, getting out on the very first ball - Yet Again! This is just absurd. How can a team collapse so thoroughly in just 5 overs?!? They must have been practicing!

The Bangalore Royal Challengers have put on disappointing performance after disappointing performance, with the team absolutely leaderless. Dravid is clearly having a lot of trouble adjusting to the Twenty20 format, both in terms of batting and captaincy. He’d better call up his India team-mate Dhoni, who, by the way, is doing a spectacular job for the Chennai SuperKings with the bat, the gloves and the captaincy hat.

Well done Dhoni! You’ve truly shown that you deserve to be the highest paid cricketer in the IPL!
