The spectacle is about to begin

Oh finally…. IPL is all set to begin.

For want of time, will settle for twitter style updates for now:

I hope the crowd turn out is good throughout and really really hope that boundaries are not shortened this time and some sanity prevails in the commentary box. Lets call a six a six and not a DLF and Lalit Modi is no moses please…………….

Otherwise I hope the second edition continues from where the first edition ended as far as the quality of cricket is concerned.

Its always a dicey proposition to pick a favourite out of such evenly matched teams especially in this format of the game. Its still fun doing it though. My favourites for winning the second IPL are Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Daredevils.

I just hope B’lore makes it to the semi-final stage atleast this year. Last year they were badly let down by their owner after a couple of losses. Surely Rahul Dravid and co deserved greater respect and support. Lets not forget they had one of the best bowling line-ups with Zaheer, Steyn, Bracken, Praveen Kumar and Anil Kumble.

Just for the sheer excitement of watching Shahrukh celebrate, I wish KKR does well too…

But being a quintessential Chennaite, I have only one team to support except when Sachin is batting!!!
