Slap-gate and Polly's new nightmare

So lets cut it short,and keep it sweet. Huh?

After Preity’s KXI Punjab won against Mumbai Indians(im calling them MI now, that sounds better, way better!)

Sree(to Bhajji): hardluck man

Bhajji: **SLAP**

Now I don’t know what transpired between the two crackheads of Indian cricket earlier, but this was the resonant ending to it. Or the beginning?

So everything looked normal after Preity’s XI had won, but something seemed strange about it, why the hell was Sree crying after postmatch ceremony? Was the question that was floating in every viewer’s mind at that mo.

Everybody drew own conclusions to it- Sree forgot to take his doze of calming pills; Preity didn’t hug Sree; Sree was so damn happy after winning this man,that tears trickled down his cheeks!

But the fact was stranger than fiction (as usual).

So, we all know this slap hurt Sree,and his fans and indian cricket’s fans, etc etc. but more than that, it opened a whole Pandora's box of controversies which had been buried earlier. who can forget about the Bhajji-Symo tiff? The ausies got the chance to open their mouths again. Well i guess, at least now its all out in the open. But Bhajji seriously needs to get his act together.

He has been fined and banned from a certain number of matches, and Sree has been given a warning(a much needed one. the guy goes psychotic on the field).

The slapgate hurt Mumbai Indians greatly, who were already minus Sachin,their usual captain. So after stand in captain Bhajji got banned, Polly took over as captain. The team was literally in tatters. they were losing, their players were getting into unnecessary controversies, and their main player was injured. What could Polly do in such a hellish situation?

What Polly did was exceptional. He not only picked up the pieces, he glued them together again, and guided the team to its winning ways. I think given the tremendous pressure of handling the most expensive team of the IPL was, it was a job well done by Polly. I think he gave some very uselful tips to the likes of Nehra(remember him? yeah the same guy who went into oblivion after performing brilliantly for India at the World Cup 2007) and Kulkarni. Their bowling attack was suddenly looking threatening. They ended DD's winning streak at their home ground, and started their own from that point onwards. So i guess it was a sweet turn around to a horrid tale.

As for Sree, i may sound like a sadist, but i was quite amused with his sobbing and weeping on the ground after he got the slappy treatment from Bhajji. Oh the irony, when compared with the furious, animated and aggressive Sree we usually get to see on the field, hurling a myriad of abuses at the batsmen(even his own team india teammates werent spared).

After this slap, he has appeared to be tame. So i guess the slap wasnt that bad afterall? It did do something beneficial for the game- It shut him(Sree) up. And i hope it's effects last for a long time.
