Cricket Circus

The new circus in town, the Indian Premier League, got to a great start. The NZ wicketkeeper's pyrotechnics ensured that Shah Ruk Khan's team won in a convincing fashion. The jury on whether IPL will sustain its interest is still not out. But, i am convinced that this is good for the fringe players who stand to earn from either the IPL or the ICL leagues. You need look at players like Ambati Rayadu, Stuart Binny, Satish, and Sodhi to know that they are making the best of the IPL's rival league. Essentially what both the IPL and ICL have done is to give employment to a lot of Cricketers, Ex Cricketers and Adminstrators. Whether IPL morphs to an establishment as big as the English Premier League is the big question. I would love that to happen!
My moment of the IPL so far: Ricky Ponting running to Ishant Sharma to encourage and advice the fast bowler..what a moment!
