Has IPL Killed T20- World Cup excitement?

After the super exciting round of the matches in the IPL, there were three occasions where the contest was Shams Vs Wags. After some close matches, Shams turned out to be the eventual winner as CKS beat MI in the finals. " We could not gift Sachin the IPL Trophy as his birthday present. Nevertheless Well Played CSK" says Wags.

It may well look like the IPL has killed the excitement levels for the T20 World Cup. The T20 world cup does not seem to have the following as one had for IPL. The venue could be the major reason or may be it could be an over dose of cricket. Moreover the outfields are on the slower side.

The Men in Blue seem to be the favorite and strong both on papers and on field. Suresh Raina has started from where he had ended in the IPL. His blitzkrieg knock of 101 in the match against the Proteas proves that he is made of the steel mettle. He is a live wire in the outfield and it looks as if the ball follows him and he does not like the sight of the ball passing by him. Team India has made its way in the Super 8s and hope this time we win the T20 World Cup.

Sultan Of Cricket- MI King!!!

Time and again Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar has shown his class. Be it for Team India or be it for Mumbai Indians, he has always played a pivotal role for his team. He is a perfect role model.  Even in yesterdays match
( 11th April 10) , he took over from where he had left in the last match and made sure that he steered his side right into the semifinals. Mumbai Indians is the only side who is comfortable in the semis.With yet another half century to his name, he has already shown that he belongs to the top with the Orange cap and he is on the peak of the career.About time to call him the "Sultan of Cricket"
 Keep making those half centuries and Keep winning Mumbai Indians.

Scores Leveled

It was Shams Vs Wags yet again yesterday( 6th April 2010) where CSK took on Mumbai Indians at their home ground in Chepauk.
It was an absorbing day at Chepauk and the same was seen in the match . Batting first, CSK made 165, while MI managed only 149 in thier quota of 20 overs.

In the first match, MI defeated CSK easily at Brabourne. So both the teams have a win against each other at their own back yard.

All we have to say is that for Shams and Wags, the scores are leveled, both on the ground and off the ground as well.
Stay tuned for the IPL


Cheers.
Shams n Wags.
