Ok, here we go, DD vs. KKR tonight; two teams I love to hate. whoopee! I’d almost certainly pass on any DD or KKR match (unless they were playing CSK/RR, the two teams I religiously follow) but something about the combined potential for shenangians (two bads make a good?) makes me want to watch this [...]
