But, you know, shit happens. There were probably 5 teams which looked like they had a chance of getting into the semis, and one of them had to go. A series of poor performances by Mumbai led to this.
Meanwhile, Chennai continue to field like a bunch of idiots wearing clown boots, and it's starting to scare me very much. They concede about 20 extra runs a match due to bad fielding on the boundary. It's disturbing.
Albie was alright, Ryan Campbell didn't admit he wants to jump Albie. It's only a matter of time before he does. I swear his eyes glaze over when he talks about Albie. Today Campbell was in form, coming out with the best comments of all:
"If you get funky, you die."
Try relating that back to cricket.
Post-match, Dhoni and Hayden dodge around the topic of Parthiv Patel's general shittiness. They almost made it sound like he's a good player. Luckily, we know better. He was out first ball, a bit of a "fucking hell" moment for him.
And just on a different note, I'm curious about Neil McKenzie. This commentating thing isn't looking like a brief stint, it seems very real. Where is the explanation for it? Does this mean he's... out of it? If it does, what a stupidly quiet way to go. Haydos went out kicking and screaming in a similar situation, but it's like McKenzie just melded into commentating when nobody was looking. I hope he doesn't continue, because he looks like he's at a funeral out there. Some sort of undertaker, really.
Hope you enjoyed Jeremy Coney's "shameleons". I certainly did. And don't forget to vote for Miss Bollywood SA. It's the most important event of all, apparently.

I felt sorry for Sachin Tendulkar. he being part of loser teams has been a sad point in his great career.
Haha, that's a great way to put it.
Maybe he turns them into losers, cus the Indian team sure as hell is winning a lot of games when he's nursing another injury.
BTW, did you see the group of cross-dressers who had come with the "Miss Bollywood South Africa" banner? I think Shahrukh found himself some mates.
The ones hanging out with the Miss Bollywood of the day? They were terrifying.
I've been away for the weekend and reading this post (more specifically Ryan Campbell's quote of the day)cracked me up. I think my time away from the cricket has almost made me miss the dopey bastard...
McKenzie had me wondering too, although compared to 3/4 of the idiots in the commentary box I quite like when he gets a turn on the mic. But his interviews are truly painful.
Sadly enough, Ryan Campbell has grown on me, but only to the extent that I can bear him, nothing more.
McKenzie is a nice fellow and all but he looks a bit out of it when he hangs out near the dugouts. Especially when combined with his propensity to wear odd suits.
