RR have become RCB's Bunny!

The scorecard of the first match between RR and RCB in IPL 2009 read RCB 133/6 and in reply RR 58 all out! (Kumble 5-5)

The scorecard of the first match between RR and RCB in IPL 2010 reads RR 92 all out (Kumble 3-9 and a PK HATRIK!)and in reply RCB 93/0 with 9 overs to spare!

Safely say that RR have become RCB's bunny! Its one thing to lose but another to be humiliated! But whats even more surprising is that in the 2009 match, the line up had Smith, pathan and jadeja, rob quiney as well! Only pathan to feature in todays match and still they did better! Tells a thing or two about RR's Auction strategy!

As for today! They choked from ball No.1. RR batsmen had no clue, whether to attack, defend, no confidence in their approach. Credit must go the RCB camp! They had figured out the length to be bowling to someone like Pathan. He was stuck in his crease for ages.

Martyn and Lumb will surely want to forget their Debut in IPL! Warne will be clueless as to what to do next! 3 losses in as many matches and he is helpless as there is no one to replace Smith and Dimitri! Watson is not gonna show up till the last 10 days of the IPL. It wont even matter then!

As for RCB, they are looking ever so solid as a team and are marching forward in the tournament. They have become a force to reckon with! The only thing to be concerned is that fact that the likes of Morgan, Dravid and Boucher have barely spent time at the crease! As for now, ALL IZ WELL! Go RCB!
