If you thought the first Semi Final was one sided enough, think again! This match really redefined one sided for me. Yuvraj’s…ahem….Preity’s boys came into the match with ultimate gusto and passion, as they always do. They were subjected to some great bowling from the Chennai Superkings.

Oh yes, I am frustrated! Glen McGrath is on the top of my list of people I am frustrated with. This pitch had bounce, this pitch had carry, this pitch had movement. THIS PITCH HAD LIFE! Mr. Amit Mishra, this pitch HAD TURN FORGOSSAKE! You already know that despite all the above facts, Delhi allowed Rajasthan to get away and score 192. After that innings, I was thinking that this is a belter of a pitch and whenever you mention the term belter to Sehwag, he would say : “I’ll get it”. Maybe someone did….Maybe no one did. Whatever!

After a long hiatus, six and out is back! Was watching the first semi-final of the IPL between the Rajasthan Royals and the Delhi Daredevils. In previous meetings, both the teams have won their respective home games!

If ever there was a passionate game of cricket played, it was this one. Shah Rukh Khan, the owner, was jumping up and down the dugout as his team went about defending the midget-like total of 134. Yeah you heard that right. 134. Most of the batsmen had failed for the KKRs and now it was time for the debutante Shoaib Akhtar to justify his Price in the IPL.

In came Shoaib and Virendra Sehwag was out first ball he faced. Caught by the Keeper.
Then it was the turn of Gautam Gambhir as he fiddled with a wide one, just …read more
