So, if the bowling team is taking its own sweet time to finish up the bowling, in the ODI format of the game, they were peanlized by reducing the number of overs that they had to chase the total. But everyone seems to have forgotten this rule in the IPL! The Mumbai Indians were almost [...]

The Hyderabad Deccan Chargers sorely missed one of the world strike batsman - Shahid Afridi - in the last game against the KnightRiders But the hard hitting Afridi is apparently desperate to get back on the field. The 28-year old Afridi holds the record for the fastest 100 in ODIs - off just 37 balls. [...]

The New York Times has a very interesting editorial up today about the new fad that is sweeping India - The IPL. The author calls the IPL “dangerously close to a circus” and talks about how extravagant and big-money this whole league is becoming.
But he discusses the “outsourcing” that India is doing to the US [...]

Did you folks watch the match on SONY today? After we complained about the annoying ads and a couple of readers even emailed their feedback to SONY about the ads, SONY seems to have taken notice of the feedback.
I noticed the improvement in yesterday’s matches, and it got confirmed today. They’re showing the replay of [...]

The curator of the Eden Gardens has come under fire for the pitch that was prepared for the Kolkata KnightRiders vs the Deccan Chargers game yesterday. Apparently, he’s being called up and asked why the pitch was so dry and how come the batsman couldn’t score any runs off it!

The lights at the stadium [...]

Its exciting to see tight matches in the IPL, and both the matches today didn’t disappoint. Sachin was sitting out the Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers match, and Harbhajan was leading the side. Shaun Pollock played a lovely slog-overs innings to take the team to 165.
The total was very competitive, and when the Royal Challengers [...]

The Delhi DareDevils convincingly routed the Rajasthan Royals in the opening match for both teams at Delhi yesterday. The Rajasthan Royals had no answer to a very disciplined bowling attack, with the ever dependable McGrath taking 1 wicket for 21. I didn’t really expect the aging McGrath, who’s 38 years old, to do any fireworks. [...]

Sony is doing a horribly incompetent job with the IPL coverage. I mean, I understand that they’ve paid a lot of money to get the rights of broadcasting the IPL, but don’t go overboard with the advertisements for Gods sake! As soon as the last ball of the over is balled, you don’t have to [...]

As the match between the Kings XI Punjab and the Chennai SuperKings got underway, all eyes must have been on Dhoni. The highest paid cricketer in the tournament was definitely nervous when he came out to bat, and was dismissed in just 3 balls. But not to worry, because Mike Hussey thouroughly murdered the Kings [...]
