Class is Permanent!

With all the stupidity of the game that were there on display, the IPL produces some nice moments too.. Performance's of greats like Kallis, Kumble, Shane Warne and even Ganguly to an extent have been a revelation.

What is it that these great players have that the youngsters don't? It is the quality of their hearts.... and their willingness to take up a challenge .. or why would (in the match between RCB and DD) Anil Kumble open the bowling and bowl to Sehwag, one of the most destructive batsmen in world cricket with the field restrictions on. Also in the match against Deccan Chargers, Shane Warne pushed himself on the 11th Over... only to bowl out a great spell, taking 4 wickets and turn the match around. All the while Shane Warne knew exactly what he was doing.

The IPL Spectacle...!

So..today was the launch of the much publicised IPL tournament... Eight teams with eight super stars as Icons will be playing for money and kitty....! Though a cricket lover, I am not sure whether I will be enjoying watching these matches - even if Saurav is captaining one of the team - simply because, how can I enjoy say Tendulkar getting bowled to Brett Lee...? Both are my favs... Should I support Sachin everytime he hits a six, or should i support Brett Lee and his Delhi Daredevils everytime he takes a wicket? I Donno...!!!

at the end of it all, Cricket will be reduced to just another soap opera like all those 'K' serials... the fun is gone.. money is the game...!
