A string of matches

Wow, the IPL has far too many matches and they're all far too short to analyse them during the match. :P Which explains why I have not been updating.

Anyway, from the first day then:

Match 1: CSK vs MI
MI won by 19 runs.

Match 2: RR vs RCB
RCB won by 74 runs.

Match 3: DD vs KXIP
DD won by 10 wickets.

Match 4: DC vs KKR
DC won by 8 wickets.

Match 5: CSK vs RCB
CSK won by 92 runs.

Overall? It's been a pretty good three days. Deccan Chargers played like the team they're supposed to be at long last and I couldn't have been happier. RP Singh took 4 wickets and was declared Man of the Match, could I ask for more? :)
The Super Kings finally opened their winning account with that defeat of the Royal Challengers, and it was a pretty emphatic defeat as well. But somehow, I felt happier with the DC's win. Well, it's telling me where my loyalties would lie in a DC vs CSK match I suppose.

It's still too early to judge which team is better than which or why a team loses, but all that will solidify as the season progresses and hopefully I'll be here, faithfully documenting it.
In the meantime, give this article about the infamous cheerleaders a read. I personally agree wholeheartedly with it, including the last sentence.
