Cliche - but cricket is the winner

What an unbelievable day at the IPL. Two super close games but nothing comes close to the Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals match. A critical make or break game for both teams.

1. Shane Warne vs Tendu/Sanath in the battle of the oldies (Victory to Warne in this round. Tendulkar lbw Warne, Sanath Jaysurya caught Pathan bowled Warne!!!)

2. Shipa Shetty vs Neeta Ambani in a battle of the owners. The visual of Neeta Ambani sitting meekly in the dugout and Shipla animatedly in the box. Perhaps thats another example of where the X factor lies and ultimately the 'X' factor saw Rajasthan through.

Who would have thought that Munaf would bowl the last over and give only 1 run while 3 wickets will fall!!!!! What a game. I have to say i was torn throughout (particularly as the little master was rampaging) but at the bottom of my heart was
willing on last year's champions and the underdogs to go through.

The line up is still wide open and makes for a really exciting run up to the close.
Prediction: It will go all the way to the Raj/KKR as well as the Blore/Deccan game before we know who makes it.

this has been a truly rocking tournament - the cricket is aggressive, the players passionate...wish world cups could match half this intensity, intrigue and quality!!

bangalore beating chennai was quite a sucker punch and we are all square and anythings possible

now if kings beat the devils tonight...i can only think of "cry havoc! and let loose the dogs of war" !
