Devastated Albie has cost Chennai dearly

Just when you think you can probably pass the loss off to something like bowling, VB Chandrasekar comes out and pegs it as that dropped catch:
We are a good side but one fielding error in the two games we have lost has cost us dear... Our real chance to pull back was lost with Albie flooring AB.
Immediately after the game, the two losers of Chennai had a "moment":
Albie looked devastated with a bad day in office, but I was happy to see Freddie walk across to sit by his side. Albie looked comforted momentarily. Surely, it was a lesson in team sport.
Comforted. Thank god it was only momentarily. Now he can go back to hating himself. Because he's South African and we all know the best way to make a South African perform is to rip their guts out and remind them of just how shit they are and how badly they're going to be pulverised the next match.

So next match, Albie will either come out swinging or he will be broken.
Freddie will just smile and comfort people. I bet he doesn't really care whether he does well or not, it's just a lot of money for very little work. It's Albie who will feel the real pain.

Perhaps next year, CSK can trade Freddie with Irfan?

Only then, Freddie would miraculously take Punjab to the finals and Chennai would lament their loss.

Is there some Fake CSK player supplying you with insider information about who comforts whom and who blames whom for the loss?

My heart breaks for poor Albs just reading this. Poor bugger, lets hope he comes out firing next match. I think the weight of expectations may have finally caught up with him. JP is a bit the same.

12th, haha, I wish! It's actually from VB's blog, which I linked to the first time I mentioned it. After that, I got lazy and just quoted from it directly. By the way, there's a "12th man" who blogs for CSK on their site. Very mysterious.

Esra, we know Albie can perform well under pressure. It's just a matter of when he does it. Meanwhile, AB will hit another dozen centuries in the tournament.

Bloody impostor! I have been the official 12th Man of the cricket blogosphere since early 2008!

He's trying to steal your identity. Do you have an arch nemesis?

I have been such a nice guy here. Most of the daily blog acquaintainces know only me as the 12th Man.But I don't have a reputation as such, which he can steal and make something out of.

Flintoff's bones are again disturbed !!! I think he was designed by Henry Ford along with his first assemble made car ...What a bloody waste of 1-5 million. They should have purchased Shakib AL Hassan instead of him and spend the rest of million for redesigning their shitty costumes
