The first time, the captain is fined. The second time, the fine is 20K per head ($220K in all). The third time, it is 30K per head. The fourth time, Ashraful will have to sell his house.

Add to that, the injury issue.

If doing nothing than warming the bench gives me 80% of the money, that's pretty fine. No stress, no facing bouncers, no scope for a criticism and always the high hope of the fans that I could have done wonders.

Captain is already fined. Tendu will be extra careful next time. I think this is the reason why he mostly used the spinners in the last game against KKR.

Meanwhile, the always interesting Kolkata Knight Riders have reportedly invited New Zealand coach Andy Moles as an "observer" to, er, observe the team's methods. Moles has claimed he is with KKR to learn about how to achieve success in the Twenty20 format, and to help New Zealand prepare for the upcoming Twenty20 world cup. "New Zealand has plenty in common with the KKR. A New Zealander as captain. Lack of success. Predominantly black uniforms. Absolutely no help from John Buchanan,"

said Moles with a sly wink. "More than 'observer', perhaps I should be called 'voyeur', since I'm basically here to watch KKR getting *&%$#," he added a bit naughtily.

KKR is owned KBR ( Kellogg, Brown and Root )- both specializes in dubiously bid contracts overseas..

BTW, Graham Napier has gone back to UK as has Bravo. So what does that leave Mumbai with in terms of foreign options? Could Ash be getting a game?

Bravo wasn't selected for the Test Series

As I understand it KRR has a legal binding to pay him the money whether he plays a single match or not.Mash has already represented KRR in the practice matches.

I am pretty sure KRR is not waiting to rob Mash of his 600k.Mind you KRR's 'bought' Mash for such a huge price with an eye on BD's market.Of all the 'buys' ,Mash's makes the most business sense to me ...

Hold on guys Mash will get his chance with the '4 foreigner' rule its difficult to break through.Murali was left out and so was Kallis !

nice post.
