He puts the fun back into cricket. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is owned by business tycoon Dr. Vijay Mallya. In the auctions, they went on to buy some great players including Daniel Vettori, Tillakaratne Dilshan, AB de Villiers, and Chris Gaye (a replacement for Dirk Nannes). The innings against his former team where he announced his arrival signalled the beginning of a new chapter in RCB history. IPL teams are something else. He just bludgeoned them! 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. I’ve got to get myself from the sloth of couch surfing and enjoying a beer, to being a tear-away quick in the space of 4 weeks. With Hodge and Finch at the top of the order whacking them around the park, it was always going to be an easy game for the bowlers. I thought I was improvising to get 6 in my old Datsun Stanza, so 7 in the Vitara was most entertaining. Squad List. A bit nerdy I know, but there is only so much commercial radio I can listen to at any one time. This move changed RCB's fortunes as Gayle won the Orange Cap and took RCB to the final. Classed officially as ‘entourage’, I was left on my own to discover what a 16th man actually does. Those were the first 102 runs of the 3163 he would go on to score for Bangalore, the first of 5 centuries he would score in RCB colors, and the beginning of a special 7-year connection with RCB and a lifetime bond with RCB fans. However, you have not come to know Aaron because he is a good bloke. I won’t go into the game itself, but talk about a bit of the off-field life. The world cup, the 16th man, and the bulletproof car.

Another great win from the guys last night. I guess thats just the lot of the modern cricketer. What happens when you are announced as the Australian captain? In 2011, Chris Gayle was not picked by any franchise in the auctions but, out of the blue, he got a call from the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and he was picked as Dirk Nannes’ replacement. Time will tell if I’ve done enough to prepare myself – I think I have. Maybe the finger was pointed at him because he always told the truth, rather than the standard practice of hiding away and blaming others. Their supporters are fanatical.

The phone rang and a few days later I was off to Singapore for the ‘Olam Cup’ – a local T20 comp organised by the local Indian expat community modelled on the IPL with 4 franchises, and 5 overseas players in each side. After some hiking that I will put down as my ‘pre-season’ campaign, I made it back to London in time to again captain another side to a title.

He knows how to win. Family holidays, and French/Austrian alps aren’t conducive to fast bowling. A short and sharp stint, as within 2 games, my season was over thanks to a nasty little side strain. Who knows what’s going to happen now. Before getting on the plane our twitter banter went something like this: @dirk_nannes: @henrygayle Unlucky big man.

It’s been a tough start to the CLT20 for the Bangalore boys. His cricket brain works faster that most, and with Victoria he has been in charge of a winning side for many years. Is the style of Australia’s play dictated at all or even influenced by the captain? Why?
