IPl II diary--T20 exhibition! finally got under way..(18/04/09)
Yay...after all the controversies,talks,scheduling pblms,security concerns IPL II finally got underway under the overcast skies at newlands,capetown with the 2 old warhorses Sanath n sachin taking strike on a wet pitch against the tall seamer Gony!Ya, 't was Chennai Vs Mumbai..
The match was uneventful...with most strugling for timing n some not at their best(still rusty may be) and Mumbai (kind of) cruised to victory by 19 runs with Chennai never threatening to chase down 165 made by Mumbai.
Second match was much more entertaining with Blore losing early wickets then recovering well (thro Dravid) to competitive 133 and then bundled out Rajas. for 58 with Kumble scalping 5
...It was also nice to see some drifters,wily turners from Shane Warne again after long time..Its always a great sight to see spinners containing batsman...This is the first time in T20 that I have seen a chasing team been outplayed so comprehesively!
