Landed in Durban. A 2-hour flight, made shorter by the quick nap I took and some excitement just as we had started to descend. Our main spinner has been seen getting quite cosy with the new establishment. The spinner was also there at Opium last night celebrating our defeat. If you think of it, most of the guys there were from the defeated teams.
One of the Lordie's boys (a batsman) commented on the spinner saying that he should get some sleep on the flight coz he hasn't slept since he came to SA (apparently). To which the spinner responded saying "At least I don't go to sleep while batting or bowling". It was as bad as bowling a beamer. Lordie's boy reacted just as any batsman would and was ready to get up from his seat and confront the spinner. Lordie had to intervene, said something to the boy and pacified him. I was sooo looking forward to an altercation. Would have added so much more spice to this post.
Lordie has been conducting himself really well. I must say. He has swallowed his pride, is being very cordial to the new establishment, even offers tips to the new skipper (which the skipper puts in the trash can anyway). On the whole, I am getting quite fond of Lordie as well as the new skipper. Both are nice blokes. But I just don't like the Coach and his entourage. They hang out together, almost like its' a Us vs Them. They are all the time talking amongst themselves, in a low pitch so no one can hear. We are quite suspitious of the lot.
Our back up keeper tells me that Badshah Dildo called up Coachie in the morning and told him what he thinks of our performance yesterday. Not that it was needed coz we could all see how we have performed. I think his patience is going to run thin this time round. Coach hasn't spoken to anyone since last night's defeat. He was on his laptop the entire time that I have seen him today. I think he wants to send his laptop in to bat in the next time, given the amount of time he spends with it. May be if he spent half that time with us players, we may win a match or two.
By the way, it's raining in Durban as well. I hope it rains tomorrow and the match's called off. At least we'll get a point. I don't see any other way out for us.
Will update you once we have our team meeting later today. Till then, adios!
