Take this brief summation from one of my twitter followers: “Horrible bowling tonight v KKR. Gayle joined RCB for the 2011 IPL as a replacement for Australian Dirk Nannes.

More importantly, I didn’t get my name sewn in to my towels in each changeroom, or the fancy memorabilia that Tony Greig would call an ‘Original, 6 inch ICC Commemorative World Cup Replica Trophy’, complete with ‘Handmade Luxury Display Case’ that would no doubt be a collector’s item to be passed down the generations … I can just see Ricky’s grandchildren 45 years from now proudly displaying this dust collector in its original luxury display case. In 2011 auctions, RCB had only Virat Kohli in their kitty as he was the only one who was retained by the team. He tried to act cool, but I could see his mind turning, trying to come to terms with what it actually meant to him, how his life would change. I think he could have won the last Olympics as a track cyclist as he’s got a massive arse, and his legs would put most sprint cyclists to shame. The improbable and thrilling final ball 6 of the last game has taken me away from watching my boy at rubgy this weekend. IPL teams are something else. Dirk Nannes RCB, Bangalore, India.

A few great cricketing names were at Singapore in Shane Bond, Shoiab Akhtar, Sanath Jayasuriya, and some Aussies like Luke Pomersbach (WA), Liam Davis (WA), Rhett Lockyer (TAS), Michael Dighton (TAS), and a heap of other people who just appeared out of the woodwork. You have reached your limit for free articles this month. The rest of the team flew out last night, but we were staying behind to catch different flights. At the auction preceding the 2011 IPL edition, all the franchises, as if they had all conspired to avoid his destruction, had ignored the Caribbean King. You’re stuck with me from London to Bangalore. No player is even close to Gayle’s record in T20 cricket. He has shot into the Aussie ranks quicker than most, and it’s not without reason. But the ‘Alan’ Finch story is an entertaining one, and I was next to him on a desperately ageing Qantas plane to Perth and spoke to him a little about his cricket. From Luke Ronchi to Roelof van der Merwe, these 6 cricketers represented two different countries in T20I cricket - The best example is the former Hong Kong skipper Anshuman Rath who … (Search for ICS Lions on facebook and there are heaps of photos on there). I can assure you that there was no presidential treatment in seat 34c on the JetLite flight to Mumbai, but like all good flights, I managed to walk off at my destination.

After the disappointment of being booted from the T20 in the UK, I thought I had until the Melbourne Renegades campaign in December to relax. His record of 973 runs remains intact and unbeaten. How much influence on the side does the captain actually have? We were 0-2, and not looking like winning. There is: (a) the on-field ‘win-from-any-position’, don’t give up mentality; and (b) his poor, secret, often neglected and disagreeing off-field friend that we call common sense. They are wrong: it is character. He puts the fun back into cricket. 11a and b were taken by two very respectable looking retirees who were not going to move. What a game of cricket! When you aren’t part of the main touring plans, things just work differently – normally a lot worse. Many of the on-field, cricket specific answers will only play out over the next week, and we can only hope that politics will not get in the way of his leadership style. Probably the only thing that is certain at the moment, is that Cameron’s fishing boat just gained a few extra feet, and that he will be a very busy boy for the next few days. Very hard 2 accept this kind of bowling figure! But the life of a T20 player is an interesting one. The simple pleasures, like a room at each hotel, were often hard to come by without waiting an hour in reception because my name was not on the team list.

Chris Gayle’s arrival at RCB against KKR in IPL 2011 The last 6 weeks have been my first long break from cricket in what seems like years. Going through the system, rather than be a ‘Yes man’ like so many trying to ply their trade in Australian colours, Aaron has done it his own way. Apparently it was always Aaron’s fault. He went on to become the Universe Boss and a T20 legend. Aaron is not your run of the mill, robotic cricketer that has come through the system. The former Kolkata Knight Riders batsman was back in the auction after being released but he failed to draw a bid and went unsold. Chris Gayle, after going unsold at the Auction, joined RCB as a replacement to the injured Dirk Nannes. It’s been a tough start to the CLT20 for the Bangalore boys. We cricketers live in a strange world, with extreme highs, combined with severe boredom and lows that make you wonder what you are doing.

The only positive of leaving a tournament is getting back to the family. However, the ability of the RCB team to pick ourselves from almost certain elimination to qualify is a testament to the fighting spirit in the group, where we throw common sense out the window for a few hours, forget that we are on the brink of an exit, trust in our abilities, and try to turn our tournament around. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is owned by business tycoon Dr. Vijay Mallya. Or is he just the fall guy when things go pear shaped? A few well placed head wobbles to key people, and we were on our flight. The campaign had been lacklustre till that point. A week later I was on a plane as 16th man in the World Cup in India. Today, Rajiv’s rocketship was an Indian Suzuki Vitara, with the engine from my Dad’s 1985 ride-on mower. “Yes Rajiv, those 47 people across the road can see you have 2 cricketers in the car … we can leave now … come on Rajiv, no need to call your mother-in-law to come and take your photo … yes Rajiv, you can have ‘one snap’ with Mr Tait in front of your car … no Rajiv, just get in the bloody car and drive already! He was 3 for 5 in the 2 T20 warm up games, including a first baller to me which gave me much pleasure. A bowler approaches the cricket crease with only one goal - to make the batsmen face the music Back then, RCB too were going through a difficult phase with their campaign in danger of being over well before the play-off stage.

Gayle featured in 85 games for Bangalore, amassing 3,163 runs, which included 5 centuries and 19 half-centuries. Australian sport in general has become a bit of a nanny state – no one can have their own point of view, no one can have their own colour, no one can sledge or make comment in the media unless it’s promoting the next ‘big game’ or goodwill cause. Time will tell, but I’m tipping he won’t be playing much more for Victoria, instead donning the Australian colours in all forms of the game for years to come.

I thought I was improvising to get 6 in my old Datsun Stanza, so 7 in the Vitara was most entertaining. He remained unsold in that year's auction. Chris Gayle, a pure entertainer and an obvious choice for any T20 team, had for reasons unknown not been a huge success with his first team Kolkata Knight Riders. He has a bit around the waist, thanks to a steady diet of ‘cans’ and ‘darts’ with his mates at the local. That was the beginning of the most genuine connections between a team and its fans. Weigh it all down with a ton of bulletproof glass, and this ride was more like a sailing of the Queen Mary. (maybe without the motorcade part as we were on our own, but it seemed at least 50% presidential, and lets not let the truth get in the way of my story). In all a good win, and a great percentage booster. I guess thats just the lot of the modern cricketer. Bear has learned to pick his battles, and this was not one of them.

Since last playing for Victoria in the One Day final in February, it’s been a roller-coaster ride. I can only imagine the thoughts. Finch told Jewell some home truths that no one else had the gall to say, Finch got whacked, but rather than punch back, ‘Alan’ stood his ground and kept firing back with only words. He was Royal Challengers Bangalore’s leading wicket-taker for two seasons, in 2012 and 2013. When you are on the wrong side of the result, it can be a lonely place.

At this stage, speedster Dirk Nannes was ruled out of the tournament and RCB team management named West Indian opener Chris Gayle as his replacement. While most would not look too much into this result, on face value Shipperd put a lot of money into buying an unproven cricketer on the big stage.
