IPL Semi-Finalists decided

First of all, thank you. YES YOU! ALL OF YOU! For the first time since man invented the wheel, six and out has touched 50k page views. There is a party for you too, if you can make it. To know more, ask me.

With the Deccan Chargers losing to Chennai Superkings tonight, all the four semi finalists of the inaugural DLF IPL have been decided. Not that I care as both my teams (Kolkata and Mumbai) are out. Anyway’s, for people too naive to not support Kolkata, they are

1. Rajasthan Royals
2. Kings XI Punjab
3. Chennai Superkings
4. Delhi Daredevils

in that order of course. After watching some pretty insipidly boring test cricket over the past week, yeah yeah, the contest of bat and ball et al, and being reminded of the same by Uncle J Rod, I felt that since the business end of the biggest business in cricket (IPL you oxymoron) is on, lets focus on that and that itself. Lets take a look at the points table now:

Remaining games are Mumbai vs Bangalore and  Rajasthan vs Punjab. As both of your eyes can see, these matches are useless unless you want semi final practice or you really love one of them caps (purple and orange).

SO, in the semis, Rajasthan play Delhi and Punjab play Chennai. Preview posts coming soon, if I am excited enough to write them!

Who do you think will win? Write in….cos I am too influenced by T20 experiences to forecast.
