Now that was an overpriced team which was always going to stuggle in T20.

Royal Challengers of India's liquor baron Vijay Mallaya.

Not only those 3, but Jaffer too was there in the same team. Very good test batting lineup but very poor for Twenty20.

Kolkata's batting was way too weak especially since the time McCullum left.

McCullum only had one good knock
The runs he scored in THAT innings was probably more than the likes of Chopra and Hafeez together managed in their entire IPL sojourn.

So, still only gave them one win

Those 2 I mentioned didn't even manage that.

What's zealous about that remark? A hell of a lot of cricket fans the world over would probably say the samething in the same situation.

(Especially Hilda! )
Fairly modest ambitions in life then.
