IPL Chennai match

I saw yesterdy's match where Murli Vijay scored a hurricane century. Such massacre!

I remebered days when Vijay Manjrekar used to bat days together to craft a century. Geoff Boycott wasn't far behind. Matches used to end in draw evern after five days of play.

What a transformation now! Hitting a century within the allotted overs is no mean task. I don't remeber to have seen even a single 'agricultural' shot throughout his innings. Perhaps the pitches are prepared for this style of cricket.

There were days when the piches were to be prepared to suit our famous spin quartet where they can weave their magic, mesmerising the batsmen. Who can forget 'Bapu' Nadkarni's series of maiden overs!

Who will win this edition of IPL? My bet is on Mumbai Indians.
