Currently, Kolkata Knight Riders (79/1), Kings XI 158/6 (source).
... as green as I am about cricket, even I know that KKR just have to win this match to gain the much-needed momentum and install confidence in the players and the fans. However, alternating between optimism and pessimism, plus not having lunch or dinner today, is not making it easier on my poor stomach.
There're some ways to watch cricket online for free, but Malaysia internet being the slowass it is, none of the alternatives given will probably work. I'm currently hitting google search button every two seconds to look up the results. It's like reading alien language, not English, but I persevere.
I wonder if anyone realised that all the Bollywood stars' cricket teams (RR, Kings, KKR) lost their first matches for whatever reasons. Blaming it on rain or depleted players or pre-tournament controversies does not take away the fact that they've lost. Is there an equation between the teams being severely highlighted due to high-profile owners and their poor performances on the field in this second time around? I hope not.
Will KKR pick itself up this time? Will I still continue to cheer for KKR if it continues its poor showing for the rest of the tournament? I think in this matter, I need to learn from Shah Rukh some sportsmanship (of which I have nearly none) and think positive thoughts for the team I believe in. I've decided that I'm not going to toss away my hope in them just because they didn't win their first match (and second??).
The journey is still ongoing and I hope they play well tonight and in the rest of IPL 2.
