THAT'S THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLES..........

The proverbial cookie crumbles and how, high and mighty BCCI president Narayanswamy Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan finds himself in the custody of the Mumbai police crime branch sleuths and is apportioning the blame on all and sundry other than himself for his betting affliction.........


Yes, Gurunath Meiyappan is well and truly of the custody of the Mumbai Police Crime Branch sleuths and will be produced before a magistrate later today; he was taken into custody late last night after a sustained spell of interrogation and questioning and has admitted to knowing both middleman Vindoo Dara Singh as well as alleged kingpin Ramesh Vyas.......

He also has not refuted the claims made by Vindoo Dara Singh about knowing him for the last decade or so and also admitted to the fact that he had been placing bets through Vindoo Dara Singh for the last three years or so and also introduced Vindoo to the Chennai Super Kings players and also accommodated him in the VIP box during the course of many an IPL match........

But, what one finds difficult to understand is his claim about Vindoo being responsible for his betting affliction or then penchant for placing heavy bets on the IPL franchise that he was both the principal as well as CEO off until 5:18 pm last evening........

Yes, incredulous ladies and gentlemen of the cricketing world, Gurunath Meiyappan has ceased to be the principal and CEO of the beleaguered Chennai Super Kings IPL franchise as his incarceration could lead to the automatic termination off the franchise as per the rules and regulations laid down in the BCCI constitution......

One really wonder whether this foolhardy and belated attempt to portray Gurunath Meiyappan as an honorary director of the CSK's owning company will really cut anyy teeth with the legal fraternity as the instances of Gurunath Meiyappan portraying himself as the team's principal are legion and cannot be wished away like your worst nightmare.......

Yes, somebody else from the India Cements Management namely it's Secretary signed on the legal document or undertaking executed between the BCCI and the CSK team owners but the self styled team principal was the prominent face seen during every match, auction, team meeting, press conference and also disclosed the fact that he team manager Stephen Fleming and skipper Mahender Singh Dhoni compared and contrasted their respective playing XI's just a little over two hours before the start of any and every evening game, so how do you explain this or these uncanny coincidences........

And what about the unsavoury fact put out by every twenty four news channel about the said Gurunath Meiyappan omitting all references to his links with the CSK team when his twitter account prominently highlighted the fact that he was the principal of the CSK team until the proverbial shit hit the roof........

All said and done Messrs Srinivasan and dear son-in-law find themselves in shit creek without a paddle, Srinivasan will have to tender his resignation sooner than later owing all kinds of responsibility for the mess that the BCCI finds itself currently in......

As for Gurunath Meiyappan he will have to dole out more plausible excuses than the one about Vindoo Dara Singh forcing his hand if he wants to extricate himself from the sorry predicament that he currently finds himself in...........
