Well, why don't you try being a RCB fan? Actually, to hell with that, I'm not one. I'm a hardcore ABD fan. That's why I support RCB.. do you feel for them? Probably, the most complete and destructive batsman of this generation and no silverware to show for his efforts. He's been in shite teams that are overrated as fuc/<. The irony is that the overrating is a lot down to AB's own charisma and breathtaking chutzpah.
Good lord I swear I thought I had seen the best of AB but the way he's batting at the moment.. It's mind boggling!
I already have to live with the fact that a guy like Kohli is captaining the Indian cricket team, the team that I passionately follow. I do not want to be a fan of any other team that Kohli captains.

- Why in the world is Jadeja batting above Bravo?
- Shouldn't Dhoni be batting a position higher than he currently is?
These are the questions that keep baffling me.
Dhoni did bat in higher positions in earlier matches. Yesterday (against RCB), he decided to float himself around. I guess he knew the Chinnaswamy's size and backed himself to help finish the game. Showed in the way he was hitting those sixes. Actually it was a six hitting fest yesterday considering the ease with which both teams were clearing the ropes. It was so unusual to see Dhoni hit his second ball of the innings for a six.
As far as Jadeja is concerned, Dhoni has said before IPL and during IPL that they are looking to give Jadeja higher batting positions to give him more exposure/responsibility. I am sure the logic behind that is fine if you take Jadeja's batting style into consideration. Just that I am not sure if Jadeja is his current form deserves the higher batting position. In fact, Jadeja in his current form, brings up the question as to whether it was the right move to retain him over Ashwin. Even his fielding (which has always been exceptional) seems to have tapered off
