The 20- 20 match between JDS & BJP in karnataka has ended abruptly with JDS batting for 20 months. BJP which had long hoped to bat had to go back to pavillion with a heavy heart. Though, the JDS managed to bat well with a few bouncers from Janardhana reddy Mine scandal, IT raids & others.  The JDS captain had been assuring the BJP captain in functions, in assembly sessions, etc that they would bat & even the BJP captain was saying that he would bat for remaining 20 overs. But what happened during the break is everybody’s guess.
Now the JDS says the bouncers from Sriramulu, Janardhana reddy was too much & Umpire didnot ask them to check it. (meant BJP didnot control them). The Spectetors in the state of Karnataka have to watch the developments mutely. Now the Invisible Head (Any guess?) of the Tournament wants to go for a fresh match. The other team (aka Congress) in the tournament is watching silently & may come out with a surprise at the last moment to win the tournament. Only time will say who will win the tournament.
