55,035 vs 1686

I was reading the Indian Express when i stumbled upon this article and found it to be very interesting. 7 out of the 11 current members in the 100 test club are playing the upcoming test series between India and Sri Lanka. Seven batsmen have more than 5000+ runs each and their aggregate comes to 55,035. The experienced bowlers in each team-Kumble, Murali and Vaas- share a staggering 1686 wickets between them. A no.of champions will be rubbing shoulders as the test matches start rolling on the 23rd of this month. Looking forward to a fabulous contest.

Awesome match!

Today was the match between Chennai Super Kings and the Punjab team and this was an awesome match. The teams were literally hitting out and crowds completely went crazy. The match completely belonged to Hussey who took the match away from the Kings 11 punjab headed by Yuvraj Singh and brought by PRiety Zinta along with Ness Wadia. Dhoni dint fire today but the captaincy was commendable. The bowling attack was ruthlessly attacked by agressive batsman on both sides of the game. Then there were the beautiful cheer leaders. I guess they went tired dancing to almost every other ball bowled as everything was hit to the fence. Indian premier League has lived up to its name and is definitely more exciting and interesting than the INdian cricket League. Kudos. I dont know what, but these pitches used for the Indian Premier League seems to be pretty short in size. Either that or it is the batsmen who have tunrned exceptionally aggressive. It remains to see if the Indian Premier League is going to be a success story after all the initial critical comments on it.But no one gives a damn about it now. The matches are cool and the players are providing awesome entertainment.
