FanSpeak: KKR saga another Aussie ploy

By S Ray

This is once more the Aussie way of doing things. They still cannot digest how Dada cocked a snook at them and this is their way of getting back at him. Kolkata Knight Riders under

Buchanan will go the same way as India did under Greg Chappell. It won't take long for Buchanan to destroy the franchisee.

As for Shah Rukh Khan, his failure to support Sourav means that he deserves what's coming his way. He will make huge losses financially and no self-respecting Kolkata resident will watch any games where Sourav is not the captain of a Kolkata team.

In fact, Shah Rukh, by keeping quiet and letting Buchanan have his way, has insulted all of Kolkata and the only fitting reply to this would be to boycott KKR's games. While that may not be possible this season with the IPL being held in South Africa, once the IPL comes back to India, I am sure all of Kolkata will make sure that Shah Rukh realises how he cannot insult such an icon and get away.

With this one move, Shah Rukh has lost all his popularity in Kolkata - every single one of his movies should be boycotted and not allowed to run in Kolkata; and the same should be done to every KKR match, so that it hurts him most where it counts - his pocket.

Go Sourav!!! You have displayed a lot of class in handling this situation and held your head high. This season of the IPL, you should score the maximum runs and then teach Shah Rukh and Buchanan a lesson by resigning from the team at the end of the season.
