After the star performer Raj Kamal was clean bowled early in the match against AZB, the entire Titus team resorted to rowdy behaviour and the match was halted 2-3 times. The scores suggest that Titus won the cricket match but the last thing that was being played was cricket.

Loosers Get A Life!!!!!Thank your stars that the "Star Performer" did not fire....Guess u guys hv played girly cricket all ur life or maybe no cricket at all! The other guy who opened with Raj batted till the 20th over and made life miserable fr u loosers.....n talking of Rowdy behaviour....we dnt believe calling a guy by his name maybe considered "Rowdy"...i.e. Kartik or whatever his name is.....n [...] who was jeered as [...] rushed towards Titus team members with some filthy abuses!!! What bout [...]'s behaviour....and to top it all u bunch of loosers tried to break the batsmen's concentration by repeatedly abusing them.....N to remind u it was AZB who halted the match 2-3 times nt the Titus batsmen...However...we took it gamely n made a total that was far beyond ur reach....nd all u manged was two Titus wickets!!!!.. End of the Day Titus put u on the ground....held u buy the neck n rubbed ur noses on the mat.....So U have all the right to cry foul....Go on Sissies...Titus guys r having a good laugh....n tell [...] his bowling was yummy;-)!!!

Its not the star performers but star teams which make the difference at the end...... Good example set out by Titus & Co. that they mean to win, irrespective of who fires and who doesn't...............
Now all sissy babies should learn to concentrate on winning rather than getting aggressive on and off the field after losing.... by all means AZB team looked like a bunch of [...] gathering who dropped 5 catches, let many boundaries pass by underneath their legs, bowled at a speed of below 70kmph, scored at a runrate of 4 rpo & above all – after Shamik, it was only [...] who could make a half century in the match..... You dont deserve to be playing, all you can play is by altering game inbetween or write blogs out here.... Lol........ get a life loosers..... n hey sissy babies, the tournament has just started, wait n watch who gets where....... Peace :-)

AZB got what they deserved. In their previous game against S&R, I saw a number of the players and supporters abusing some of the S&R fielders near the boundary line.

A couple of apologies were issued after the game but this seems to be a general AZB trend.

So....AZB has played two matches and been involved in two abusive exchanges?

Does AZB have a problem or is it just that something about them that makes other teams want to abuse them, poor lambs.

The post should have more on Luthra, who absolutely massacred K&S, while K&S is a Ok team - Luthra was absolutely dominant from the word go! Tara is superb, with age Manish bhai is getting better and better.

Titus is of course the next best team of the tournament; they batted very well (insider rumor is that they didn't have a single practice session after their last match on October 30,2010). After Raj Kamal went down, Shamik batted very well holding one end up - but the best came from Ishan who blasted 45 Runs of 30 balls or so. All abuses came from AZB onfield, while Titus supporters very going thru their usual banter off-field. AZB's player were so uncouth with their abusive language that they didn't even care their Female gender in the crowd from both sides. Once the runs have been put on board, Titus bowled superbly considering the dew factor, where the fast bowlers had a very tough time with the grip - the spinners and their fielding came to their rescue and AZB is probably knocked out of the tournament.

Trilegal should be the second team to qualify from Group considering they have some very good bowlers and a destructive batting line up. AZB's super slow bowlers will have hard time facing Trilegal next . The less said about S&R the better - they are the worst team of the tournament.

True Gunner: Hey dnt b so harsh on S&R.....every team deserves a chance....and in cricket on a given day any team can do well...All the Best S&R...do well on the 4th :-)....Indeed talk should revolve around the star team Luthra and their star Tara......n Manish Bhai's feat of 6 wickets is also commendable.....the less we discuss about the uncouth members of AZB team...the better....and it was only one or two players who have tarnished their image...y blame the entire team.....their wicket keeper and some other players were quite friendly and we shared some good banter.....AZB is a reputed law firm...so they should know how to deal with their own spoilt brats! Going forward lets enjoy the game...n three cheers for Legally India and Sachin Khurana for providing us with this entertainment :-)

Cheers Friends. Its a pleasure organizing the tournament for Law Firms!
I will look into the matter and ensure that teams like AZB are fully exposed for their misconduct on and off the field.
I request all participants to maintain decorum and enjoy healthy competition.
And cheer up guys, we will have a performance on "Munni Badnaam Hui" by all delinquent members of participating teams on the day of the finals ;-)

From what i saw, Mr. [...] went rushing towards the titus pavillion after they started hurling abuses at the AZB team. Apparently after being called out to the ground by Mr. [...], no one from the Titus team responded, behaving like the chickens they have always been. What surprises me is they feel so proud of their victories even when they hire players from outside to play for them. Anyways I guess AZB will be happy being the better law firm and playing a fair game of cricket with their 'OWN' people....cheers....

After the AZB Titus match came to an end, some of the titus players were seen and heard going up to the AZB team and asking how much would they be payed if they were to play for AZB. Cmon guys we know you hire players from outside but atleast pay them enough to ensure their loyalty....wonder why titus is always in the news for wrong things and their reply to this is that the other firms are jealous of their doings...really titus ?? i mean seriosuly ...are you guys even a law firm...??

If Titus wants to win the tournament with hired players then let them.. they cant even string four words together to complete a sentence in english im sure theyve hired someone to write those comments for them.. as for AZB they might not be better than your hired cricketers but they are definately a better bunch of lawyers than anyone at titus can ever be. Titus infact didnt mind their own business in Trilegal and S&R match as well which was on when they arrived and started making fun of players on the field at that time as well.. AZB are a nice unit and have just started playing together this year and are coming up pretty well.

@ 44 - very well put.. cudnt agree with you more. but i would like to say something. even titus has some wonderful lawyers. i did meet them during the match and they were quite decent. infact the batsman who got MoM award seemed to be a nice guy. just their so called star player was trying to make some scene after getting out. and really i dont consider him as titus (everyone knows why).. so titus should think before letting such players play for them. . it harms their reputation.. look above n see what its led too..

@45-Good Observation. Going through the stream of comments above, it seems to be abundantly clear that someone from AZB instigated the above scene. He has been adequately rebutted every time. And going by the comments above it seems Titus is far better in war of words too!Indeed they have a very good team, would not like to comment on their composition though. But one thing is noticeable, the allegations about Titus not having a playing 11 seems to be outrageous because they show such good body language and team spirit on the field. They jell really well as a team unlike the case with some other teams. Titus matches are a treat to watch.

@46 - ofcourse they do not have a playing 11 of their own...they hire players...why they seem to be jelling together is because its the same bunch of outsiders who have been playing for them and with them year after year..and yes the body language and team spirit comes from the fact that all of them are desperate to catch some attention...anyways...this string is not leading to anything..completely agree with #42..

#47: Disagree!: The defending champions do not need to catch attention...As it is they are the team in limelight albeit for the wrong reasons.....Talk should revolve around good players from Titus too....for e.g. Vishal who won the best bowler award last year! And as far as outside players playing there are a lot of teams resorting to the practice!
