admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:36:07 +0000

The third season of the Indian Premier League started on an unexpected note once again as the team which was last on the points table in IPL 2 Kolkata Knight Riders defeated the winners of IPL 2 and defending champions Deccan Chargers in the opening match of IPL 3. Deccan Chargers captain Adam Gilchrist won the toss and put Kolkata Knight Riders to bat. KKR lost two wickets to Chaminda Vaas in the first over itself without any runs on the board and it seemed to be continuing their dismal form since IPL 2. Two more quick wickets fell and they were struggling as they were only at 41 after losing 4 wickets. But then Angelo Matthews (65 runs off 46 balls) and Owais Shah (58 runs off 46 balls) put up a brilliant partnership till the end of the KKR innings as they reached 161/4 in their allotted 20 overs. DC captain Adam Gilchrist (54 runs off 35 balls) put up a brilliant fight but other wickets fell at regular intervals and Deccan Chargers could only make 150/7 at the end of 20 overs.

Watch IPL 3 live cricket online

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:29:14 +0000

I have been receiving this question from various people about where they can officially and legally watch IPL matches online. So, I am compiling a list of legal online streams where you can watch the DLF IPL T20 season 3 live online.

Here are three of the top choices for watching IPL 3 live and legally onlline:

1. Youtube: IPL took a revolutionary step by making a deal with Youtube wherein people all around the world can watch IPL 3 free on the world’s most popular streaming website Youtube. But it will be streamed 5 minutes delayed on Youtube in India which sounds quite fair as it is broadcast live on TV in Set Max channel. You can watch all matches of IPL 3 live on the official IPL youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/ipl

2. TV Catchup: TV Cathup is only useful for users in the United Kingdom and does not work in other locations. You can watch various UK channels including ITV4 where IPL season 3 will be broadcast live. You can register and watch IPL on ITV4 if you are in the UK.

3. Willow TV: Willow TV is also a very good cricket streaming website for nearly all big cricketing events. They provide good streaming but the only downside is that they are a paid service.

So, please watch cricket and IPL at official and legal streams and enjoy the cricket extravaganza.

Where to buy IPL 3 tickets?

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:26:52 +0000

I have been asked this question repeatedly by many of my website visitors, friends, relatives etc. as to where they can buy the IPL tickets online. So, I am writing a short post about the websites where you can officially purchase DLF IPL T20 Season 3 tickets.

There are three main websites to buy the IPL tickets online:

1. Ticket Genie: Ticket Genie is being used by the official IPL website, the franchisee websites etc. it seems.

2. Book My Show: BookMyShow is also selling IPL 3 tickets online and they are the most popular online booking website in India. So, you can expect the booking and whole system to be quite smooth as they have been in the booking business (especially movie booking) for several years now. In BookMyShow, they are providing both booking of stadium tickets as well as IPL in cinema tickets it seems. They are also selling IPL and teams merchandise on their website.

3. Kyazoonga: I am not sure if normal stadium tickets would be available in Kyazoonga but they selling IPL in cinemas tickets on their website.

So, If you want to watch live in the stadium, you can book the “Sabse Bada Ticket” using the above websites. Aapne Khareeda Kya?

ITV awarded TV rights for IPL 3 in the UK

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 13:10:41 +0000

The oldest and most popular television network in the United Kingdom, ITV has been awarded TV rights for broadcasting this year’s edition of the Indian Premier League in the UK. The IPL was without a television broadcaster in the UK after collapse of Setanta last year. However, IPL had announced that the matches would be streamed online free on Youtube all over the world. ITV bagged the rights for television broadcasting in UK and they will show 59 of the 60 matches this year on one of their digital channels ITV4.

This will also mean that cricket coverage in the UK will return to free-to-air after a long time as ITV4 can be seen free by almost 80 percent of the UK and around 20 million households in the UK should be able to view the matches. The only match that will not be shown, because of a commitment to show British Touring Car Championship racing from Thruxton, is between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Daredevils on April 4. It is also a landmark event as live cricket will be shown for the first time since 1970s. The feed will be provided by Sony and will be fronted by presenter Matt Smith and Bollywood actress Mandira Bedi.

IPL clarifies the strategic time-out rules for IPL 2010

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:26:18 +0000

IPL had introduced the strategic time-outs last year during IPL 2 and they had told that they would continue with the time-outs in IPL 3 this year too. The IPL management has finally clarified the strategic time-outs for IPL 2010 and there are a few changes this year. One of the most significant changes is that the strategic time-outs have been reduced from seven and a half minutes per 20 over innings which was there in IPL 2 last year to only five minutes per 20 over innings this year. The five minute strategy breaks or time-outs have been divided this year into two time-outs of two and a half minutes each. The batting side can ask for the time-out anytime between the sixth and eighth overs while the bowling side can ask for the time-out anytime between eleventh and sixteenth overs. The IPL commissioner Lalit Modi said that the main purpose of the time-outs was to allow teams to discuss strategies during the game so that extra time is not wasted in discussing strategies during the course of the game and thereby reducing match-time delays. However, some of the franchisees still have a bit of concern as they fear that even this short delays might break the player’s concentration.

Keiron Pollard and Shane Bond attract highest bids on IPL 3 auction

admin — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 21:29:31 +0000

The IPL 3 Auction took place on January 19, 2010 and it was a comparatively low profile auction compared to the two previous years. It was also due to the fact that the IPL franchisees had just 750,000 dollars each as the maximum limit to spend on the auction. However, there was a also a new rule this year where the franchisees could make secret ‘silent tiebreaker bids’ in case there was a tie. But the excess money from the secret bid went to IPL instead of the players who could receive only the maximum bid at 750,000 dollars. There were secret bids for two players who were Keiron Pollard and Shane Bond. They were officially sold at 750,000 dollars each but as per sources, Mumbai Indians had supposedly made secret bid of more than 2 million dollars to bag Keiron Pollard while Kolkata Knight Riders had supposedly made secret bid of more than a millon dollars for Shane Bond. The other two high priced puchases and hot bids in IPL season 3 auctions were Kemar Roach and Wayne Parnell who were bagged by Delhi Daredevils for 720,000 dollars and 610,000 dollars respectively. Others won in the auction included Mohammad Kaif (Punjab, 250,000), Eoin Morgan (Bangalore, 220,000), Damien Martyn (Rajasthan, 100,000), Justin Kemp (Chennai, 100,000), Thissara Perera (Chennai, 50,000), Adam Voges (Rajasthan, 50,000) and Yusuf Abdulla (Punjab, 50,000).

There were 66 overseas players in the final IPL 3 auction list and only 10 overseas player and one Indian player were sold. The players who were sold are as follows:
