India are young, hungry and full of piss and vinegar.
Australia are old, jaded and lacking loads of Viagra.

Mark Nicholas starts with a message about Rianna Ponting’s bun in the
oven. Strangely no Michael Slater jokes. But Mark Nicholas does look
radiant.
Gilly tributes start early with Ponting and Nicholas eager to out do each other.

Sachin Tendulkar’s
unbeaten 117 on Sunday is the most important ODI hundred of his career.
In one fell swoop, he overturned a lot of things that have sadly got
associated with a batsman of his caliber. This was his first ODI
hundred in Australia, his first big contribution in a final since
Sharjah 1998, his first big innings chasing for about 30 matches – and
finally, a very rare occasion where he stayed right till the end and
finished the job.

The IPL is great in the
way a few shots of scotch are great, but you have to keep from being
addicted and letting the alcohol take over your life. So it is good to
see someone resist the temptation and say, "Sorry mate, got to get to
work tomorrow, catch you guys over the weekend" the way Michael Clarke,
Brad Haddin and Mitchell Johnson have.

As if no time had passed,
Alan Stanford's home grown regional 20/20 tournament has continued over
the past two weeks to cheering, flag-waving, capacity crowds, improved
performances from the minnow teams (St. Kitt's, BVI) that growing
tournament tension as the big dogs (TT, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica)
start squaring up for semi-final showdowns.

Ishant Sharma has emerged
as a promising new bowler who can run through batting line ups and make
batsmen want to literally hit him, since they can't seem to be able to
hit his bowling. But that is just the first step, and the bigger
challenge is only just coming up.

The G had grass on the wicket, so there was a different kind of one day game played last night.
You may remember this kind, where bowlers enjoy themselves.

The aura that the IPL has
already gathered without a ball being bowled goes to generate two
contrasting and staggering feelings. Firstly, it leads you to marvel at
the extent of change that an alteration in format can do to the overall
image of the sport and secondly, it leads you to contemplate the impact
it will have on those who are involved in the sport in a non-playing
role. Let’s refrain from going too deep into the first thought since it
could lead to discussions running into hours, and it has been done.
It is the second line of thinking that promises unexplored territories
and new ideas, so for its sheer novelty and uncertainty, let’s wade in
there a bit.
