Not even TADA can stop Dada.

STOP PRESS!

He loses his form
He loses his place
He loses his cool
He loses his shirt


But not even TADA
Can stop Dada
For long

He loses his friends
He loses his clout
He loses his crown
He loses his town


But not even TADA
Can stop Dada
For long

He loses his hair
He loses his dare
He loses his flair
He loses his glare


But not even TADA
Can stop Dada
For long

He loses his smile
He loses his guile
He loses his way
He loses his say


But not even TADA
Can stop Dada
For long

He loses his swing
He loses his fling
He loses his mate
He loses his bait


But not even TADA
Can stop Dada
For long

He loses his face
He loses his case
He loses it all
He loses it all


But not even TADA
Can stop Dada
For long

Tada-da-da-da-da-da

(To be performed by Sasha Baron Cohen, ideally)

But you do agree he was as game-changing a captain as Dhoni is today? :)

Gaurav Sethi said...

prefer to compare the two if and when MSD captains in tests.

both are player-changing – they have a way with younger players. Must be the energy they exude.

SB/NC

I am in the process of finishing a post on Dhoni tentatively titled, Why is Dhoni inviolable?

Most probably should be able to complete it by 11.30 a.m.

Would love your comments.

TADA couldn't stop Dada from morphing from a Porsche to a Lada,
The Patriot Act might help him aquire some tact,
Even Borat couldn't match up to the Bongooglee's act!!!Dada's energy exudations were awesome but were more scattered in comparison with 'Mara'dhoni's laser like focus.All's well as long as they have a way with as opposed to having their way with the younger lot!!!

After his latest blabbering in the press you can write

He is losing his bread
He is losing his head

But not even Dada
Can stop Dada
For long

He should have kept quiet until the series was over.

Gaurav Sethi said...

legend alright, but aren't legend and the one day game strange bedfellows? next, T20 legends? and whynot!

Btw it's a bad time for Investments.
