What I don't like about this year's version is that, the organizers have become more and more greedy. Apparently, now each match will last 3 hours and 15 minutes instead of 3 hours, so that they can rake in more money. There will be two 7.5 minutes breaks after 10 overs in each innings which has been labeled as 'Tactical Time Out'. WTF? Also, there will be more advertisements and so we are again likely to see a 5-ball over only.
But all said and done, I am really excited about IPL because of 3 hours of awesome fun and the Royal Challengers' Cheerleaders (Man they were hot!!). Since I don't have any team from my hometown, Ahmedabad, I shall be supporting Chennai Super Kings. With Flintoff, Dhoni, Hayden, Raina, Murali, Albie Morkel, Gony (and Jogi for bowling the last over), they are the team to beat this season. May the best team (Chennai) win!!

The time out that they are offering doesn't really deserve the kind of beating that it is getting. Firstly, we need to understand that IPL has to account for lots of extra costs due to change of venue. Secondly, all 59 matches in the last edition of IPL far exceeded the stipulated time limit of three hours simply due to discussion of strategies with players running in and out of field carrying instructions from the off-field staff. So, it isn't a bad idea to give the teams 7.5 minutes in each innings to chalk out their plans.
Dude....It begins with me against you tomorrow. All the best!
Sushant, the teams should be fined if they are taking more time than the stipulated time. Now that they have 7.5 minuted extra, they shall take even more time. And moreover, it will lead to people losing interest midway.
bhai teri team toe pehle hi match mein "Thr team to beat" ho gayi!!
Anil Ambani is bringing out Ahemdabad's team next season I think...
