Hi, this is ToolConfuser. Today, I am your anchor, and today, our crew went to Mathura to catch up w/ the preparations there. So we go there now and are joined by Vrish, who is playing a different role there. Hi, Vrish!
V: Thank you, Tool, and yes, indeed, it's great to be here on a nice hot day, which is a major contrast from the last 3 venues. Today, I'm here w/ the Charming Chandravanshis, who've had a change in captains even b4 the season began. Yayati has been replaced, since he's not been born as yet, and his future dad, Nahush, has taken over the captaincy. Nahusha, welcome to Akash TV. How has it been so far?
Nahusha: Thank you, Vrish. We are off to a good start, but unfortunately, due to the tragic loss of Matsyakanya, we've been having the blues the last few days. However, we do start off w/ a tough battle - against the devas, and so we do need to be ready for that.
V: Yeah, that would be a very awaited battle. I hear that he's scared to face you
Nahusha: (laughs) Yeah, it's almost like if I caught hold of Sachi right in front of him, he'd be to scared to react. Anyway, we do have to take this seriously, since the devas are a formidable team. Not to mention the rest of the contestants. We don't have a star studded line-up, so our players do need to put in their 100% for us to do well.
V: Nishumbha, you are the vice captain of the side. As Nahusha said, you are not a star studded line up, so what are the extra preparations you have done?
Nishumbha: we've assigned dedicated roles to each player, and asked him to focus on just that. Unfortunately, there are no all-rounders in this side. Ashwin1 will keep wickets (unlike a certain Ashwin Ramachandran) and Vishwakarma, Sesha and Sukarna form the core of our batting line-up. I head up the pace bowling w/ Taare, but he is still very wayward, so I can't use him in the death overs. Bhrigni heads our spin bowling attack.
Bhrigni: We have all taken our roles very seriously, and have been practicing them tirelessly. It's been hot, so it's not been easy. But we are confident of getting there.
V: How about the pitch?
Asokasundari: This pitch is one of those dry pitches that develops cracks, so it's gonna be very good for spin and swing bowling. Since we don't have much in batting, our best chances at home are for opposition batsmen to find the going really to find it next to impossible to bat on.
V: Wouldn't the LPL have problems w/ that?
Revathy: Our groundsmen have been working w/ them to make sure that it's compliant w/ LPL regulations.
V: My condolences to yall on Matsyakanya. So what alternative plans have we made in her absence?
Revathy: Yeah, it's been tough, since Matsyakanya was supposed to help us all in the fielding department. So now, Asokasundari has been doing double-duty, and doing it very well, I might add. So we are still looking for someone who will either be the fielding coach, or if we can't find her, we'll get a batting coach and change Asokasundari to be the fielding coach of the side.
V: Thank you, Revathy, and wish you all the best for the season.
Now, Toolconfuser, I am in the stands to meet what I think are 2 fans, who seem to be here to watch them practice. Except that they seem to be arguing. Hi, ladies, how are you doing here?
Lady1: I don't wanna be here - I'm trying to get her home.
Lady2: I am here to watch some good practice. Leave me alone!
V: You are?
Lady1: Sachi
Lady2: Tara
V: That is interesting. Shouldn't both of you be w/ the DD squad, since both your hubbies are owning and leading that team? 😆
Sachi: That's what I've been trying to tell her
Tara: Shut-up! Listen, you whipper-snapper, I don't know who you are, but nobody, and NOBODY is gonna tell me what I should do, and where.
V: Not at all, not at all. No, I'm a reporter, and covering the team prep...
Tara: A reporter? You mean I'm on TV? Please clip my last part where I...
V: We're live, but what last part? 😆
Tara: Thank you. How do I look?
V: Like a star?
Tara: Precisely! Do you think I could...
Sachi: Tara, will you stop making a fool of yourself in front of the cameras, and come back to Amravati? There will be cameras and reporters there as well, and they won't be surprised to see us! 😡
V: Now, ladies! While you are here, I wanted to get your take on what you think of the practice, and who you are supporting.
Sachi: DD will lift the cup. I'm not here to watch CC's prep, I'm here to get this hussy out of here.
V: Which one - Dave or Mike? They're now in LPL?
Tara: Shut up, Sachi! You want to watch the devas, go ahead, but I want to see these charming cricketers at it. Your Indra doesn't hold a candle to CC.
Sachi: My Indra will just flatten that serpent Nahusha! 😡
V: Ah, I see Chandra & Nahusha on their way. Ladies, thank you for joining us
Tara: Ciao~!
As I leave, Chandra and Nahusha greet me and pass me by. By the time they get to where the ladies are, Sachi is gone, and Tara is just gleeful to see the back of her.
Well, Tool, that was quite a show that I didn't even plan to get you, but that's what happens when we're live. Now, CC vs DD tonight will certainly be a battle to watch 😆
