Face it lads, without Sachin you ain't nuthin.

CSK's third home match
and they wanted another win
Thank god won the toss,

They opted to bat
they didn't make so much
with 165, it could easily have been a loss.

When Sachin stepped out
he made the chase look so simple
but then he started to crumble.

Dehydration took its hold
the great man retired
and lo, but the Mumbai batting did crumble.

Suddenly Chennai could bowl,
Chennai could field
they took a wicket per over for six.

Withouth their great leader
Mumbai were on 92 - 7
A score even Sachin's return could not fix.

He was soon caught out
then the win was made real
and Chennai moved up to fourth.

Mumbai still sit on top
it'll take more than one loss to stop them
That is what Tendulkar is worth.

Chennai won by 24 runs

I'm getting damn fine at this cricket poetry business. Check it, Paddle.

Do we have to make our comments rhyme?
Because it's gonna take me a bit of time,
Not that I care for the IPL,
Not sure if you could tell,
But I thought I get things underway,
To see what the rest have to say...

If I don't write stupid poetry, my posts on IPL are just boring because I don't have the inspiration to write about it the way I do Aussie cricket.

But, yes; I think I will insist on rhyming comments from here on in.

You could have rhymed that comment Sid. Honestly, I go to all that effort and you spoil it. [sad music]

I will accept nothing less than a rhyming reply. Horrible? Me?

Hhhmm ... ok ...

I just gave Stani a little plug
even though he is a thug
World Cricket Watch will list him next time;
To miss him out would just be a crime.

Happy?

Noooo....

Thug? I'm the loveliest thing you're ever likely to come across out one day surfing on the web. If our dear Amy was still around, God bless her, she'd tell you :P

Plus, since I'm a thug, it won't be World Cricket Watch looking out for me, more like Crime Watch!
