Co-incidence or What!!

The Champions League T20 final; what an awesome event it has been so for. But no Indian team in the final. The only thing left to do was to hate the Australian team New South Wales Blues and naturally start supporting Trinidad & Tobago. What flair & style have we seen from them! Kieron Pollard, what a player!!

We missed the first innings when NSW was batting since we were in office. Only getting updates over the internet. How pleased we were to see NSW Blues being restricted to a modest total of 159 on the Hyderabad wicket.

We came home expecting it to be an easy going for T & T. Switched on the TV set & started encouraging T & T. Except for one person, my dear friend Neeraj. He seemed to be in different mood altogether.

Cut to the scene where Daren Ganga is on strike. Out of no where Neeraj declares that Ganga would be out the next ball. Ganga square cuts & gets caught!! As expected we curse Neeraj.

Few minutes later, Denesh Ramdin is on strike. Suddenly, there comes another announcement from Neeraj; Ramdin will be caught the next ball. And horror of horrors!! That’s what happens. We literally pounce on Neeraj & beat him up. We just enjoy the moment & dismiss this by saying; “What co-incidences. Neeraj should have bet on the betting sites.”

But things get real weird after this. A few balls after Ramdin is out, another announcement from Neeraj, “The batsman would hit a boundary.” And a straight drive for 4 it is. Now we are shocked. What’s happening? 3 out of 3 predictions correct!!

We try to forget and start enjoying Pollard’s batting. The match is nearing its end. Looks like the only hope for T & T is Pollard. And lo behold!! Another announcement from Neeraj that Pollard will be caught. No prizes to guess what happened. Pollard is caught at the boundary by Bret Lee.

We literally take off our chappals and throw it at Neeraj. We are now really angry at Neeraj & shocked at what is happening right now. But it does not end here. T & T are 9 down. Practically speaking there are no hopes they will win. They still need 41 to avoid defeat. Neeraj again speaks; “NSW Blues will win by 41 runs”.

The very next ball the batsman is caught out. NSW Blues do win by 41 runs!!!

We are all speechless!! Neeraj baba ki jai ho….
