The IPL....

They got the IPL shipped off to S.A all right. But somehow they got Mandira Bedi mixed up in it this time. The lady, apart from blotting the landscape at Cape Town, writes a column for Times Sport. Her words of cricketing wisdom this week? She had a crush on Daniel Vettori last year!

Sadly, the IPL features more non-cricketing elements than cricketing elements. You see here a bunch of cheer girls, there Shah Rukh Khan, Shilpa Shetty..Shilpa Shetty! Now, that's another case in point. She is doing a dance number to promote Rajasthan Royals! The RR are the defending champions and she? a failed actress approaching forty! Who is promoting whom??

I wonder who killed Bob Woolmer (By the way, whatever did happen to that case?) Because, if the guy is a local toughie, I'm prepared to put a bit of custom his way.
