As someone very rightly pointed out this final was similar to the World Cup 2003 final between India and Australia. Australia made 359 and India were bowled out for 234.And people across the world felt more bad for India losing it than Australia winning it.Its weird what happens when you do not exhibit humility in everything you do. Sigh.
Musketeers were superb.They conquered on what was supposed to be Invaders strength big time and attacked from the word go.Free hit, no ball, wides,the left handed MoM(palindrome again!!, the ikickfakeqgpplayersass dude was must be dancing) all went in the Musketeers' way. They made 104 alright, but I do not understand one thing.The umpire is not your son in law. If he says "Not out", he means that batsman is not out.This tournament has set high standards for everything but I cant understand how 15000 people can walk into the pitch!Sigh again.
I loved the Coach's bowling personally.What he was today to Invaders was what Ajanta Mendis was to the Indians in the Asia Cup finals. The batsmam's mouth waters as soon as the ball is delievered, you almost think of to which corner you want the hit the ball to, you swing your bat and then after 2 seconds, you see the Coach running around in celebration. That turned the match today.The Grand Prix was gone.
It seems like some of the dead relatives of the real Inzamam-ul-Haq have been buried at AECS ground. The number of run outs in the second innings was astonishing. The Musketeers were really good in their fielding and also did not give away anything extra (The Invaders gave 30+ and they claim bowling is their strength, he he).
The result was inevitable. Musketeers HAD to win. Congratulations to them.
Alright, it was fun writing this. I still have the Pink chaddi with me. I will come back for the next season. And I'm just one person doing this. Its not a group. And as I said before, I am a Warriors fan and will be a Warriors fan.
The following section is just for the ikickfakeqgpplayersass dude. You can choose to read it or ignore it.
Dude, C code to find if the string is a Palindrome. This will keep you busy till season 2:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
// don't call this function
int isPalindromeHelper(char * first, char * last)
{
if(first <= last) return 1;
if(*first != *last) return 0;
return isPalindromeHelper(first + 1, last - 1);
}
// call this function
int isPalindrome(char * str)
{
return isPalindromeHelper(str, str + strlen(str) - 1);
}
Love you all,

Preachy Desai.
Today is the final. After a zillion wides, a billion overthrows and thousands of unwanted loud shouts, we've come to the final. I've enjoyed watching the little bats being handed over to men and women, who have taken them back to office and dumped it in their cupboards. May be we could have done better here too, like giving a Shiv Khera book. (for the dumbheadeds - I'm being sarcastic) About tomorrow, yeah the conditions I think will be overcast and that I feel will go in favour of nobody. Oh come on we're not at WACA!!
Why does everyone have to know who I am? If my name is a palindrome or if I can speak Malayalam? Or if I am actually going to give you the Pink Chaddi? And kick somebody's ass is such a cliche! The last I heard somebody use it in one of the Clint Eastwood movies (and he said that with such attitude!). So get over it and kick some ass in the field today. Period.
This may be my second last blog for this season of QPL. Its been fun. I've heard people talk about me, I've heard people trashing me, I've heard people praise me, I've heard everything. It was damn nice. Alright, wont get preachy. Or Prachi. (Man isn't she cute, the Desai chick)
OK folks, see ya, need to take a Wikileak. Psssssssst.
p.s.: Malayalam is a palindrome. And yes I'm in this picture.

Das Finale: Invaders vs Musketiere
This final reminds of the quarter final between India and Pakistan played at Bangalore. The colors of their jerseys, the 2 fast bowlers of Pakistan(here you know whom I am refering to when I say Waqar and Wasim), the Ajay Jadeja of Invaders(3 sixes, Yappa!!) and hell even the venue!! (Bengaluru,not AECS ground).
No prizes for guessing which team I'm supporting.No, not even the Pink Chaddi, its for the person who hunts me down. The NFVs look pretty strong with 3 bonus points. That says a lot. It very plainly put says that they have a good bowling, a good batting and a good fielding unit. But their biggest strength are their solid,almost opaque ears. Oh and how badly do they need it in the final - I say very badly.(Mr Coach are you listening?)
The Musketeers are a very strong side. They are aggressive, they are talented but they have a bunch of weaknesses. There is a small Pandora's box hidden in all the guy's pockets and girls pockets too. If NFV can do it then it will be fun. Believe me. Actually these two teams deserved to go to the finals.I will be there making my own small little mental notes about the 18 on the field who are going to be the topic of discussion in my upcoming blogs. But have you had a look at the table? I had and this is what happened to me:
The bad side of my mind: Who did we think are the two strongest sides in this tournament?
The good side of my mind: Destroyers and Warriors. :(
Then this happened - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj5LP4LGsME&feature=related
I have a list here below of certain things/people which I compared to certain thing/people. I don't know how much you will agree with this. Actually I don't care.
1) NFV - resemble Chennai Super Kings (Captain Cool :P)
2) Warriors - Kolkata Knight Riders. (Do I need to explain why)
3) Destroyers - Namma RCBs.(somberi nanna makLu - *translated in English* - lazy my children)
4) Assembly Dudes - Mumbai Indians (Just miss)
5) Mr Coach - Shane Warne(Coach/All Rounder/*Arun Nayar is coming to AECS I heard*)
6) The Roger Federer capwala - Wannabe Andre Nel (Do you call that sledging?)
7*and thats why*) FV - Rajasthan Royals (No comments)
And last but not the least,
8) Q(GP)PL - ICL(not IPL)
And finally,
To Whomsoever it may concern,
If you are not enjoying the blogs, let me introduce you to my friend, Sense Of Humour.
Love,

A Love Letter.
Dear Avengers,
I hope you are doing well. There is no way you will be able to sleep peacefully for the next few days, thanks to the one handed stunner. Still I ask, hope you're doing fine.
I will get to the point directly:
1)The No 3 position in any cricket team represents strength of technicality, trustworthy-ness and building the innings. The batsman(read carefully: bats*MAN*) should be able to attack as well as defend. Many men have tried and failed. What were you thinking!!!!!!??????
2)This is not a contest to measure the number of dot balls one can play. No it is not. Its a freakin 8 over game. 48 balls. So get your best guys out(read again:GUYS) and smash the ball around today like Inzy did.(What-a-comeback man).
3)Wounded tigers are dangerous. Never try to hurt them.The dude for whom the Blues boo-ed last evening was ferociously running towards the ball. The same Blues ran towards the dude today. Huh! Cricket, what a game! And who hit the ball there??
Thats it. I hope you are doing well.
Love,

A Green T Shirt.
Yesterday when I was walking back from the Coffee corner with a bottle of water in my hand, I saw a lot of people opening the Blog page and reading it. I don't know what kind of effect the blog is having on the mindset of people but wohooo I'm enjoying it.
I walked a few steps ahead and was almost near the "famous" huddle rooms when I overheard two women having a conversation on my identity. They took five names and I'm not going to tell you what those five names are but yes, I was definitely amongst them. It was like an Academy Award nomination kind of list. I will also tell you I was third on the list. And write this down - I was wearing a green T shirt yesterday on my dark blue jeans. Any idea? ;)
You guys must all have become some sort of private detectives in your own ways of finding out who I am. Nice, I'm touched but I'm sorry to say all your efforts will meet a dead end sometime. But I'm definitely not an arrogant, level-headed kind of a person for me to write these kind of blogs. There is a motive, a reason. It is slightly wicked but hey who doesn't like playing with people's mind a little bit.
I was chatting with one of the Destroyers on my FB page(some new kid recruited recently) and he tells me people actually wait for my blog to be updated. Is it because they think it is funny or is it because they search for more clues there to trace me down? Whatever is happening is happening here. On my laptop. Far far far away from the the QGP crowd.
My coffee is ready and mom is shouting. See you guys.

Yeh kya ho raha hai!!
Hearing the news of Warriors losing the match was one of the most saddest moments of my life. Yes my life.I shut my system down, kicked this stupid chair and went for a coffee.The Destroyers had already lostwhich was pretty much expected. I mean, Musketeers looked really good as a bowling unit to me than a batting unit. And the dudes from Destroyers just couldn't handle it.
The Destroyers dint have the Man from Mangalore but I thought they bowled well initially. Those 2 overs in the middle, one from Inzamam Part 2 and another from a new person(failed to identify) changed it big time. And damn, those trees are becoming so bloody important. Its inside , outside,on the border!! Screw it man just hit straight!
Wow, sledging is back. Saw a lot of them do it today. Its nice as a spectator but I don't know how it feels on the field. "20 from 6" "Go for it" etc were a few I heard. Glad all the MC's and BC's are still in the box. And yes Warriors lost. 3 in a row. They are part of history now. Hey the name Warriors actually suit them.
Time is ticking guys. Login to the FB page and try finding who I am. I'll give you a pink chaddi.

Come on! Spit your thoughts out! (Ignore the name John)
Come on! Spit your thoughts out! (Ignore the name John)
Philosophy
Invaders, Destroyers, Warriors, Avengers and Musketeers. We've all screamed their names throughout and supported one team or the other. We've jumped in joy at a six and we've bit our nails after a wicket. We've made strategies and most of the times not executed them.We've seen a man devastate a team and we've also seen a team, devastate a man. We've fought, we've laughed, we've hit, we've smiled. I still wonder what makes us do this. Division? The sense of belonging to a team? The urge to win? Whatever it is, it amazes me.
When it was announced that this series was going to happen and it would be called Q(GP)PL, I had christened the name YAPL for it already. Yet Another Premier League. We had some strange rules. 2 girls had to play, a girl has to play in the top 4 and I was screaming within myself "Come On!". But look at what it has done. Strategies are being built around it. We've seen team meetings on the 3rd floor doing so. All I can hear people talk is wickets, runs, scores, matches.Wow. If ever there was a survey of the most talked about words on 3rd floor this week it would go like this:
1. Who is FakeQGPPlayer? (I'm secretly happy)
2. Yellow shirt. (Hey man, sup)
3. Inzamam's Post match speeches on youtube (Check them out)
4. Telugu Super Star (I heard he has become very popular)
5. Business Suite (Yes, a couple of people were talking about it)
C is for Cricket but C is for Controversies too. I've heard people talk about the former rarely. The last ball run out, the poor tree near the ground, the (apparently) bad umpiring etc etc. But hey, we need something to talk, we need something to whisper around when somebody passes by, we need a motive to dance around a batsman when he is out, we need sentences which begin like this - "Hey you know what happened today..". Oh yes sir we do. We are not playing Quality Gentlemen Player's Premier League(QGPPL) sir. No no, it is as I said YAPL! So you choose, you want to play Q(GP)PL or YAPL.
It'll all be over in 3 days. So will these blogs. So you have 72 hours to track me down. Your time starts now!

It Just got interesting.
2 matches. Pretty one sided. I'm least bothered about what the score is or who hit a six. The Avengers are losing their steam and Musketeers have virtually booked their place in the finals. Destroyers are looking for their second win tomorrow and I'm worried about the team I am supporting.Come on Warriors!!
Whats wrong with Inzamam and his ladke!! They showed lot of promise against Destroyers and all of a sudden they are in the danger of being kicked out!!What are you guys Assembling these days?? There is no rhythm no teamwork.Their batting line up reminds of the current NZ ODI team. Or only their girls batted? Anyway, total disappointment!
Second one I thought had all the makings of a thriller. The Warriors hurt by the
loss yesterday would go win it I thought but a couple of important wickets let them down. They were always in the hunt when Sobers and Tendulkar were batting but alas it was not suppose to be their day, again. I'm sad. Very sad. And Musketeers, here's a tip - Overconfidence is a bad kid of confidence.
Lot of people talking about who I am. Nice. It just got interesting. Believe me its not what you think who it is. Period.

The Return
The Return
Alright, I think you were waiting for me to update the blog, so here it is. When the first mail was sent, the whole floor askedso many questions. Everybody wanted to know who it was! I'm so sorry guys, so damn sorry.
So we had a fine morning, good wicket to bat on, good wicket to field on, good wicket to bowl on but not a good day for the wickets themselves!! The middle stump was all over the place. The storm which had gulped down the greats (read:Telugu SS, the Gavaskar of Destroyer etc) meowed like a helpless cat. I heard somebody blame the traffic for the Avengers loss! He he, RO(3rd)FL seriously!
6 dot balls!! SIX DOT BALLS!!! The bowler and the batsman were equally good and bad, respectively, but VI DOT BALLS!!! The tall left hander made 43 look paltry and batted with consistency, but has anybody seen his left foot move when the ball is pitched up? Hmmm. Point to think.
And yes, the AP government has decided to give a public holiday tomorrow on account of the superstar's return. 3000 litres of liquor will be sold additionally. WHHATTACOMEBACK!!! The Warriors(he he) were destroyed, literally (pun intended). And yes guys, the caps do look cool.
Get a load of this though -
Person1(female) *catch dropped* by Person2(male) *bowled* by Person3(male)
Today we will just call it,The Return.

That guy in Yellow shirt!
Phew!Day 1 was sensational and how!Avengers smashed Destroyers out of the park. Funny they call themselves Destroyers, adding a "Self" before it makes sense. It looked like
the destroyers were a bunch of chicken ready to be killed, fried and eaten!
I was sitting there, right behind a few Destroyers(pun intended) who were trying to make everything look cool.
Designer caps, unwanted loud cheering and 2 boxes of cigarettes and all that.Sorry mate, that cant make you all look cool. You know what does? An Inzamam-ul-haq kind of a player from the opposite team who makes you search the ball in the bushes everytime he connects the ball to the bat. Oh I was so disappointed when he dint begin his MoM speech with "Ya- Alla - Bismilaah.. ladkon ne aaj achcha khela"
The Telugu superstar's bowling figure 1-0-21-0. Period.
The next match was a better one.Out of the 141 runs scored totally 58 runs came in form of extras (read wides).And I'll tell you why. The darker sex bowling to the fairer sex unrevealed a very important side of human nature - we can not be straight when it comes to women!God save the wifes of the bowlers who bowled today to the women cricketers.
And yes! the guy in yellow shirt who made the difference! Was it out, was it not, God knows!
Can somebody check his account balance please? ;)

The Beginning
There is no reason why you should believe in me. I do not expect you to believe me in. But I am sure you will definitely talk about me, about what I am going to write here. Good or bad I don't care. You might have glanced at my name and you would have thought "oh! I've read this name somewhere!" The guy who who wrote the c**p finally revealed himself out but I'm not going to do that.
I just came back from an over-the-top, over-ambitious, pretending desi press conferences. The same questions were asked, and like hell the same answers were given. I mean I do not expect anything extravagant but come on! They could have done much better. I'll give you a 5.5 on 10 sir but thats it!
The matches start tomorrow, with the Destroyers taking on Avengers (the names actually seem like a rip off from some Michael Bay movie titles!) in the opener. Good fun for the housewives staying in AECS layout. Come on aunties, take your sunglasses out! See you there!
And yes! girls are playing. Yes I know how you feel. Yes I know.
