Here's how it is poised after the seven matches. Tomorrow's the big one, the first match in Chennai. And that too against Mumbai. This is going to be huge for both the teams. For one, to stamp their authority once again (Dhoni's team) and the other to salvage a victory to which they were so close the other day. Harbhajan is quite a fierce/emotional captain. Dhoni's 20/20 captaincy record is close to phenomenal. Mumbai won't have Sachin tomorrow because of his groin strain. But, they probably would have Dwayne Bravo instead of the injured Thornely. Its going to be a good one. Meanwhile, Delhi gave Deccan a sound thrashing today, especially to their star player Symo the 'Roy'. Sehwag blasted him for 3 sixes and 3 fours.

IPL Stuff

Now, now now.. what do we have here.. "Pidge" bowling in India after a long time!! Just after Chennai's win in Mohali.. Here comes the big 'un. .. Shane Warne's team up against McGrath's team.. Wow! As always, Glen getting upset, when someone hits him for six. Whoa! I can't wait to see Warney in action in the second innings. Delhi's got one of the best fielding side in the tourney
if you include Chennai as one of the other better fielding sides, good captaincy from Sehwag and some great bowlers including the all time great, Glen.

So, the Delhi Daredevils have bowled and fielded their way to victory in this one. Gambhir continues his form from the ODIs, while Sehwag let his guard down after three swashbuckling boundaries. Dhawan's 50 was impressive, enough to impress any selector. Anyways a good win for the Daredevils.

The IPL

The IPL is finally here. What a start to the tournament yesterday..! Brilliant Brendon just murdered the home side, B'luru led by our own Wall. They also backed it up with good bowling. Didn't let Dravid and the others get off to a flyer (well.. how many times do you expect a flyer when Dravid and Jaffer are at the crease? hopefully we'll start soon... ).

We've just got to forget all the hullabaloo around the tournament and focus on the cricket, both cricketers and supporters alike. Its going to be amaaaazzing....!! Today was Hussey's day. A brilliant century by him for the Chennai team. Right now the game is very nicely poised in favor of the Super Kings barring any superhuman Yuvi-Stuff ..

I don't know who to support in this tourney, because there are favorite players in every team. I want to support Chennai Super-kings and will do, but I hate the name. IPL should have got the superstars name dude.. c'mon. Look at the ICL Chennai SuperStars AD. It would have got more of my support. But, anyways it is a good chance for me to see players like Badrinath, Vidyut and Anirudha et al .. play. I'm with Chennai even if it is not riddled with more than 2 of my favorite players.
