Well the low intensity blast outside Chinnaswamy stadium on April 17, 2010 may have threatened some people but according to the reporters, there is hardly any change in the population before the blast and after the blast. Well we can call this that “Cricket has won”. The explosion took on the gate no. 12. The blast though have delayed the match but the fans were still ready to see the action between Sachin Tendulkar and Anil Kumble.

Go Cricket Go!

No money, No IPL for Ravindra Jadeja

Well, IPL , the big cash tournament. It won’t be of any use for Rajasthan Royal’s Ravindra Jadeja as he has been banned from IPL3 for violating the code of conduct. According to the sources, Jadeja denied to sign the contract and was bargaining for more money from the Franchise.

BCCI seems to be strict against this violation and they don’t seem to be forgiving Jadeja.

What you can call this attitude? It seems Jadeja is considering himself to be one of the finest players of IPL as he expects more salary. I hope he will correct himself soon otherwise this may bring his end in IPL.

Players For Sale

The IPL3 auction has probably made an amazing change in the teams. The most amazing thing is that a young West Indian cricketer was most expensive in the whole auction. He is none other than Kieron Pollard, the young West Indian bomb. With his impressive performance in last year, he definitely deserve this bid.

Another expensive player was Shane Bond, who has just returned from ICL to International cricket. Shane Bond may change the scenario for Kolkata Knight Riders. King Khan has finally bought a good bowler for his team.
