Oh, my god - they won!

The toss was lost by Dhoni
And Kumble sent his boys out to bat;
He's got a poor record in this, has Dhoni
Ponting, what do you think about that?

Uthappa went out and bitchslapped Morks
He was sent away to field in disgrace
Uthappa would have been out but for a drop
To the bowlers he said, "in your face!"

Big fat Kallis managed to take 50
although our Murali made him work damn hard,
but who needs bad fielding with KP around
He ran his mate out with 52 on the card.

In came Cam White, on an opposing team for a change
so I can take the piss out him as much as I please,
But he was so damn good, it's hard to do;
He, Morks and KP took it to 161 with ease.

Hayden and Vijay didn't piss about
they went out hard and fast;
but this is Hayden we're talking about
I knew it couldn't last.

Vijay, however, didn't go so quick
he was determined to stick around,
Bangalore even let KP bowl
and Vijay took him to town.

Until he was out, then the captain came in
and the batting was still looking good;
51 to get from 42 balls
in their way only Kumble really stood.

With ordinary bowling and sloppy fielding,
Dhoni and Raina could've walked it home.
It wasn't to be, though, because the captain went
and Morks came out to bat some.

He didn't last long, and neither did Badri
but Raina would not be held back,
As the win snuck closer, the excitement grew
the ball Raina continued to smack.

It was finally over, the win in the bag
and Kumble was very much not fine.
The crowd was going mad though, and CSK were relieved,
All I could think was "about bloody time".

cheers, Paddle.

Gee, Purna - you really meant it!!

I'm struggling to get excited now that CSK are losing all the time, so bad teenage style poetry is the best way to inspire me.

I got over-excited...

That's not something you hear about IPL very often from a non Indian.
