Breaking news (not)
Robin Uthappa can't bat for nuts. Just batted a maiden over from Malinga when the same bowler went for 17 runs in the previous over. Uthappa is Bangalore's John Buchanan.

Robin Uthappa was
(I feel like a jackass. This post was supposed to go up long back but I procrastinated. Had I posted on time the post would've shown my cricketing acumen and foresight :) )
IPL 2 continues to be miserable for the Royal Challengers. They hardly look like a team. They are just a bunch of people out there waiting for the match to get over. Too bad for Mr. Mallya. Yes, they did beat Rajasthan Royals pretty comprehensively and in matches post that have come close to favorable results but have successfully managed to stay away from the clutches of victory.
And the one big reason for that is that dude, Robin Uthappa. He seems to have totally forgotten how to bat, field and on top of it they got him to keep wickets. Ask for a sure short recipe for disaster. Am beginning to lose faith in all these foreign coaches who would make you believe their bizarre ideas are well thought out strategies. What can possibly explain keeping Boucher out for Uthappa. I mean on one hand you have a player who's proved himself umpteen times and on the other one who can't bat for nuts.
Uthappa on bench will augur well RCBers. The sooner the better.
P.s Finally Uthappa was made to sit out and RCB won the match. Hurrah!
