This IPL is so long that it has extracted boredom out of very cricket. Nothing about it excites me now. I just watch the final scorecard, analyzing which team won and which still has a chance to make the semi-finals.
The biggest distracting force has been the lack of association with any team. Out of forced volition, I have chosen Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings because of Sachin and Dhoni respectively. But still their win or loss doesn’t evoke any response worth moving. Club or franchise cricket doesn’t have the same mojo.
I liked the Test match between England and West Indies. The latter is everyone’s second team, but I was rooting for England this time around. They need to find some form to take on the Aussies. If only they become good enough to produce even half the magic of Ashes 2005, then this support will become worthwhile.
