Day 3-20/04/09..Yet another one sided game..
Today it was Chennai against Blore.Match starts off with an entertaining lightning knock by Hayden getting Chennai off to a flyer as they raced to 106 off 10 overs before the "stratergic timeout" (yet again) broke the momentum helping Blore to comeback with 2 wickets in 2 balls' ..
This timeout(due to comercial factor) really seems unfair to the batsman bcoz they have to start all over again its very frustrating especially when u have the momentum with u like Chennai had today...With the business value of the game booming rapidly (like software industry once did) I wouldnt be surprised if i watch the final of the next edition of IPL in a multiplex near my house :) !If u r following the game long enough I dnt have to tell u that the game's potential(business end) has grown exponentially over the last few years reaching new heights never reached before attracting billionaires..and the trend continues with some new concepts like these...Especially this IPL seems to have enormous potential in the long run...(OOps!!i just got carried away...)
Coming back to the game some late hitting from Flintoff,Raina helped Chennai post a huge(given the conditions..) 179 off 20 overs and it was always going to be difficult under the lights for Blore and it became Mission Impossible when Murali was introduced in to the attack..He immediately dismissed Uthappa with a doosra and had a field day...Chennai won by 92 runs!
Chennai bt Blore by 92 runs!
