IPL

Chennai Super Kings,Deccan chargers,Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight riders,Delhi Daredevils,Rajasthan Royals,Kings 11,Royal Challengers ..
Eight teams,128 players ,one brilliant Indian summer that promises nothing but pure intense action and some kick ass cricketing action.
Its a new format,appealing at once to the young and the old alike.Where else can you see the two most illustrious opening batsmen open togather-Sachin and Jayasurya ..they may not have age on their side but they sure have some experience making that connection between the white ball and the sweet little spot on the bat.Two master strategists in the same team,Ricky Ponting and Saurav dada .India and Australia's most successful captains,enough to give any rival captain a nightmare .Imagine the sweet sound of Dhoni saying,"Well bowled Murli" ..Just the thing every cricket crazy fanatic would love to hear,and of course ,S ymonds and Gilchrist making some very beautiful music togather.Women Ahoy!!!Lets face it,The most drool worthy team has been handpicked and paid for by the very pretty Preity Zinta.Whew!Some gift her boyfriend got her huh..What was he thinking anyways.
though all of the above sounds just perfect to all us cricket crazy Indians,I am still grappling the problem of choosing my favourite team among the eight as all my favourite players seem to have been interspersed among the eight teams.Most people must be taking their decisions based on the parochial instincts but I believe that is just not the way to choose your favourites.

MAY THE BEST TEAM WIN.
