CLASS IS PERMANENT BUT FORM IS NECESSARY

It's exciting , fast , unpredictable .. It's T-20. I believe , and to some extent as we have seen , in T-20 choosing the squad can be a tricky thing . Players should be chosen more on thier form than on thier talent because in this format of the game there is no time to settle down , you have to be upto it right from the word go ! be it the bowlers who might be given one over spells or batsman who are required to get on with the scoring from ball one. Unlike in the longer format of the game where you can take your time and play yourself into form .. here there is no such provision. Consider this an out of form Dhoni ( renowned for his sixes and his hair , now seems to have lost both !!) came to bat and scored a 5 off 12 against the WI whereas the preformances of an inform Dilsan just reiterates the point!

Liverpool Flying High BUT Why??

Liverpool are on an amazing run right now , destroying European Giants Real Madrid,reigniting Title hopes by thrashing Man U 4-1, and walked over 5th place struggling Aston Villa..

Things looking great .. but are they...

They are still behind Man U by 1 pt , but Man U have a game in hand .. which effectively means they are still short of the leader. With international break . there are fears that an injuryTorres or Gerrad may effectively kill thier hope for the Premier League.All this when there competitor rivals Chelsea and Man U had disasterous beginning in the League.

As for the Champions League , they will square off against Chealsea , who were undefeated under Guus Hiddink until the last match against Spurs. If they get through that , they have a minor task of Barca or Bayern . Both clubs in superb goal scoring form and the likes of Ribery or Messi will test the Reds back four.

Will Aston Villa be able to end United !!

Modi's IPL : There's no stopping now !!!

Lalit Modi has done it again .  His motive of organising IPL2 has finally been achieved .. he may have achieved his goal but my respect for him has diminished..

At a time when the largest democracy in the world is going through the process of general elections ,there is an eminent threat of terror attacks security is a major concern ..Lalit Modi , the businessman, thinks about money only and decides to conduct the IPL season 2. Naturally the govt rejected to this 

The IPL comes out saying that all NDA states are providing security but only the congress ruled states are unwilling.

Before all the states could come up with a solution , they(IPL)  in thier haste decides to move hte tournment to South Africa, where there will be lesser crowds and overall lesser interest..
