Ok, so I lied a little about the parties. We did have a good time after yesterdays match, with two days off before our next home game. It was also our analyst, Srikkanths birthday, and KKR rarely wastes an opportunity to smash some cake on somebody's face.

It's been a strange IPL . 180 + totals have actually been chased more successfully than 160+ totals which must be confusing teams no end. The truth, according to our players is that at 140 – 170 you have to strategize, where at 180 + your only option is to go full tilt so there are no doubts in the players minds.

The toughest schedule undoubtedly goes to Sundar Raman and the IPL and IMG officials. Each morning, around 6 am they take a flight to the next destination, and ensure that everything goes off fine. After the first 3 days of ending at 2 am and getting up at 4 am, life cannot be easy – they are doing an amazing job!

Brett Lee and his son appeared in a Kit Kat ad with coach Dav and Rajat and Laxmi Ratan Shukla . Preston, Brett's 4 year old, is as good looking as his father and knows the square root of most numbers. At 4, most of us did not know what square root even meant.

Shakib also appeared in a shoot, and did about 8 other media interviews. He is a poised and yet amazingly down to earth cricketer. KKR has so far done well with its choices.
