IPL finals

Yippee! My brother got tickets for IPL finals! Of course, even I had the option to go along, but then my back doesn't allow me to sit continuously for that long. And then, Mumbai Indians are not playing today, so who do I cheer for? Wondering how to enjoy the game of cricket while you are in a stadium, but are not a strong supporter of any of the teams. Well, what can I say, may the best team win!

However, I just watched the brilliant performance by the artists on the ring and in don't know if the other female was doing gymnastic or what, but truly mind blowing! What a closing ceremony!

Mumbai Indians - make me frown, make me smile

Mumbai Indians didn't make it to the semifinals :(
No more busy-watching-cricket Mrinal :)

IPL - Mumbai Indians 145 for 7

25 runs in the last over! Incredible. I wish that the efforts of Y Takawale, who scored 24 in 8 balls, pay off. All the best Mumbai Indians!

U, me aur cricket!

There were times when all the wives and girlfriends in the world (of course, the ones who are not die-hard cricket fans) used to sacrifice some of their time-with-spouse/boyfriends for the sake of cricket. But back then, there were just a few test and one-day matches every year.

Now, with the advent of twenty20 and the recent never-ending IPL, almost half of the year is dedicated to cricket! And with that comes more hours spent by the guys with the television, beer and the tummy-enhancing accompaniments. Not that I have anything against cricket (I love this sport more than any other sport and I'm sure I can watch it all my life with my hubby dear), but then when you are still in the pre-marriage stage looking forward to spend some time with him, aaarrgh, this cricket comes like a spinner and screams, "maiden over".
