After losing their first game, Mumbai Indians gather for a private screening of MI (Mission Impossible). Prior to the screening, there’s an argument between the cricketers
Pollard: Awww Maaan, I already seen dat movie
Bhajji: Sachin has selected it Kiran…
Bravo: Can’t we see MI2 maan
Bhajji: Next Tiwary will say can’t we see MI in Hindi…
Tiwary: Can’t we see MI in Hindi…
Bhajji is exasperated and draws for his hand to slap someone, he flinches, twitches, is about to…when Sachin walks in…and with him a cool breeze..
Bhajji: Thank You Sachin for coming…we can’t decide on which version of MI to play
Sachin: Oh that…yeah, selection kept me awake at night.. I was thinking…(looks at Saurabh Tiwary)…ok, you wanna play?
Tiwary: Hindi version…
Sachin: Tiwary, we’ve been through this before…we can’t play a Hindi version…we have to play 4 foreigners…Pollard, what do you say?
Pollard: Awww man, I dunno…I was telling Bhajji, I’ve seen it all…
Sachin: Oh, you want a totally new version…an untried side because MI didn’t come off…Bravo??
Bravo: MI2 is cool with me Sach
Sachin: Bhajji, what do you say, MI or MI2?
Bhajji is going nuts, but he can’t insult or contradict Sachin – instead he slaps himself.

Sway
This wasn’t a game you invest an evening in, and feel bad about later. I invested 4 balls, and I’m feeling bad about it.
The beer glasses swayed, there was hope in them, the peoples felt there was a chance, they swayed. I stood, TV on mute, am on mute, swayed. There’s a chance. What was it 5 of 3? Gayle was still, but he swayed too, that bemused look, we can close it.
That’s the good part of the Windies, the hope, it lingers, it sways, in spite of the cricket. With 2 wickets, 12 of 6, Sammy could have been the man – it just wasn’t his match.
The Windies lost by one run. Botha should be the man of the match; made some runs, got that Pollard’s wicket (if you can bowl slow, call yourself a spinner, you will too).
And I listen to Sway now.

Not just Indians by name.
4 of Mumbai Indians’ top 5 batsmen are Indian – Sachin, Tare, Tiwari, Rayudu. Pollard, the million dollar baby comes in only at 6, Bravo at 7. And yeah, Jayasuriya is more Indian than Lankan now, or is he one of those guys who plays on two passports?
It’s odd coming from a Dilliwallah, but the dabbawallahs look as if they could be likable, in a patriotic sort of way. Time to make Manoj Kumar their frontman. SRK can always provide that. Will a spoof do?
