Dimitri Mascarenhas: The Booster of Rajasthan Royals in IPL

IPLT20 is an Indian formatted Twenty20 cricket tournament. The BCCI setup it to protest ICL and ICC is backing up it. It was one kind of tournament like English Premier League (EPL) where foreign cricketer will take part beside the Indian players. Some of cricketers have joined the inaugural tournament except the English. The English County Cricket is running at the same time of Indian Premier League.

Mascarenhas' arrival will bolster Rajasthan, who are now second in the IPL standings after three-successive victories, and he hoped that his team would be able to sustain their momentum. "The biggest challenge for the Royals from hereon is to achieve consistent winning results. The team has had an amazing run after the first game and the main objective now is to force our way into the semi-finals and then the final," Mascarenhas told the Hindu.

The first English man has come to join IPL on behalf of Rajasthan Royals. The team just has lost one match among the fours. The fifth match of Rajasthan Royals will be held on 1 May against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Rajasthan Royals v Kolkata Knight Riders: Online live, video and an important brief

The DLF IPL Live telecast area in internet: by the time being IPL is getting popularity among the people home and abroad. There some television channel that is telecasting live the match from the play ground. Sony Entertainment television has got the telecast right. Willow TV an interment based TV media also got the right. It is broadcasting live commentary and video streaming too for the North American cricket fans. But if you like to want the video sreaming then you wil have to

There are many website you will is giving the live ball by ball commentary. After banning the website about cricket during the office time in India some of the website that is not related cricket is showing the ball by ball commentary live in its websites.

On 1 May the 18th match of DLF Indian Premier League between Rajasthan Royals v Kolkata Knight Riders will be held at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. The match will full of competition because of Kolkata Knight Riders past two matches’ performances. On the other hands Rajasthan Royals is steady after a serial win of last three matches among the four matches.

The next victory will be confirmed Rajasthan Royal’s for semi-final. There is no doubt that the Rajasthan Royals are improving mot day after day. It lost just the first matches along with Delhi Daredevils that was leading by the Indian top order batsmen V Sehwag. The 3rd match of DLF Indian Premier League was totally accident for Rajasthan Royals. Everyone thought that the only foreign captain in the IPL team will go ahead. I also thought so. But the performances of the second match of Rajasthan Royals and the 6th match of Indian Premier League totally change my evaluation. Now my concept increase so much and thinking that the team is one of the top team in the IPL tournament that could be qualified for the final.

It seems, the time is coming is good for Rajasthan Royals. Most important thing is for the team is the England all-rounder Dimitri Mascarenhas is going to play the next matches till 12 May. He may play 5 IPL matches and later he will go back to join his home series (County Cricket). He will be free during the semi-final and the final according to IPL Schedule. He is expecting to play the semi-final and the final match. Now the team’s condition is to steady to defeat any team any time. So Rajasthan Royals is danger for any team now, especially the team Kolkata Knight Riders.

The last math of Rajasthan Royals, the 12th match of Indian Premier League was most attractive for all the cricket fans who were watching math live on stadium and TV viewers. Shane Watson is the Man of the Match for his spell of 2 for 20 off four overs followed by an unbeaten 61 off 41 balls. He even hit 26 runs off one over from Praveen Kumar, which read 4,6,4,4,4,4.

Kolkata Knight Rider is another strong team in the DLD IPL tournament. The team has been played 4 matches and success come 50%. Its fate is trembling. Although the team on the top according to the point table. In the first time the long distance victory against Bangalore Royal Challengers rise up the team high. The second victory at Eden Gardens was not easy like the first match. It could say that it was great victories for the team to beat the top teams of the IPL tournament. Rahul Dravid leaded Bangalore Royal challengers considered as a most favorite team in the IPL tournament. So the popularity comes most after beating the team easily.

It is the first time; Kolkata Knight Riders is going the meet against the second higher scorer team in the point tables. The team already has showed its mind blowing performances. I think Kolkata Knight Riders will not take the match very easy. The rules of the tournament are each team will play two matches in every team. So now what is Sourav’s team is thinking to dominate Rajasthan team.

The first and the second match summary of the Kolkata Knight Riders team

Kolkata Knight Riders was the top score holders among the IPL Teams. Now IPL has become a most exciting and poplar match. The first two matches Kolkata Knight Riders has won were more suffocating. On 18 April, in the inaugural ceremony, they defeated Bangalore Loyal Challengers by a long distance of 140 runs and in the second match it beat Deccan Chargers by 5 wickets.

In the first match, the winning hero was MoM - Brendon McCullum who scored 158 runs not out just played 73balls. It is the individual highest score in Twenty20 history and IPL (Indian Premier League) too. Scoring this runs he achieves a respected cap.

On the other hands, in the second match, the team was about to loss but David Hussey’s 6 in the last ball help Kolkata Knight Riders winner. That is why he selected as the Man of the Match.

Kolkata Knight Rider is playing the rule like the team India in the inaugural ceremony in South Africa. I think not one thought that India and Pakistan will play the final match. The movement of the team is totally gloomy to all the fans. The last match was most terrible for all the cricket fans. It seems that all of team members are absent from their responsibilities. But he tem Mumbai Indian was very action full. After a long silence it back it life.

Motorola Study Reveals Enterprise WLANs as a Must-Have to Increase Productivity

IT Spending on Wi-Fi Expected to Grow in North America to Meet Business'
Demand for Significantly Enhanced and Expanded WLANs in the Next Year

LAS VEGAS, April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- INTEROP, LAS VEGAS (Booth #1051) -- The Enterprise Mobility business of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced its research results from an enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) study[1] analyzing the deployments and requirements of North American enterprise WLAN decision-makers. More than half of all the survey respondents said they have either fully or partially deployed an enterprise WLAN with an additional 31 percent trialing or planning to deploy WLANs by 2010.

Nearly 20 percent of the polled enterprises said their IT spending on WLAN technologies will be 5 percent higher than last year's budgeted expenditure. Despite the current soft economic conditions worldwide, enterprises are still prioritizing enterprise WLAN deployments and upgrades. Only 4 percent of survey respondents said they would reduce spending on WLAN technologies this year.

"Enterprises are realizing the strategic need to invest in wireless infrastructures rather than continuing to invest in both wired and wireless," said Sujai Hajela, vice president and general manager of Enterprise WLAN, Motorola Enterprise Mobility business. "802.11n-based wireless networks are more secure, more reliable, faster and cheaper than the traditional wired network infrastructure enterprises use today. The technology is ready for the wireless edge to evolve to the completely wireless enterprise."

Another industry trend that was validated by the survey showed that almost 60 percent of enterprises with existing WLAN deployments are providing access to more than half of their workforce. This represents a 20 percent increase over last year and highlights the growing adoption of Wi-Fi usage across various employee position levels and job responsibilities.

An example of how WLAN technology can improve network efficiency and the bottom-line is the innovative wireless deployment at San Marino Unified School District. "We decided to install a Motorola WLAN switch for centralized management and to standardize our access points from a single vendor to reduce the school district's wireless operational costs," said Stephen Choi, director of technology, San Marino Unified School District. "Motorola's indoor and outdoor wireless solutions will enable high performance mobile connectivity on all four campuses supporting 3,200 students and 300 employees, which enhances the educational experience."

Enterprise WLAN is part of Motorola's portfolio of innovative wireless broadband solutions and services that complement and complete Internet Protocol (IP) networks. Delivering IP coverage to virtually all spaces both indoors and outdoors, the portfolio includes fixed broadband, mesh, broadband over powerline, WiMAX and Enterprise WLAN solutions for private and public networks.

Kings XI Punjab vs Rajasthan Royals: An overview on previous matches

Kings XI Punjab is comparatively a less strong team in IPLT20. It has been played three matches against Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians and just has become winner in one match against Mumbai Indians. Although it just has won one match but their batting line is so strong that can do anything miracle. If you would watch the match live in Television then you then you easily evaluate that the rivalry movement impressed all the viewers.

In the first match it scored 207 runs by losing 4 wickets and the opposite team cashed 240 runs. All the batsmen scored a stable runs in their own bags. In the second match against Rajasthan Royals, King XI Punjab score 166 runs but the opposite teams aggressive batting brought the victory. In the second match of Kings XI Punjab the two top order batsmen and two middle order batsmen’s fall brought the grip. Here I can add that slightly weak bowling lineup is the main cause of down fall of the team. The character of the Kings XI Punjab in third match was totally opposite than the previous two matches. Both line batting and bowling showed first class performances. KC Sangakkara’s batting was the turning point to cash a stable score. One the other hand the bowling was too tight for the contradictory team Mumbai Indians to dominate well.

It means that the Kings XI Punjab is improving day by day. I think the team management should analysis both the side batting and bowling. The bowling is weaker that batting side. The Mumbai Indians is so weak team that any team can beat them easily. So Kings XI Punjab should not be overconfident in this victory that it could beat any team easily except improving the bowling line-up. Source: cricinfo

Super Kings has the last laugh

In a format created to favour batsmen and big hitting, a bowler won the match for Chennai Super Kings at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here on Wednesday.

Young paceman Manpreet Singh Goni’s four immaculate overs at the beginning of the Mumbai Indians’ innings proved the decisive spell in a crucial Indian Premier League duel in front of a packed audience.

Bowling with control and working around the basics, Goni conceded just 18 runs in his four overs.

Super Kings won but not before surviving a scare after some hectic hitting by Abhishek Nayar (45 n.o., 20b, 6x4, 1x6) and skipper Harbhajan Singh in the end overs. A barrage of fours and sixes brought Mumbai Indians desperately close.

Joginder Sharma, once again, was alive at the death.
Second win


Defending 208, the host clinched a thriller by six runs for its second successive victory in the competition. Mumbai Indians is without a win in two games.

Mumbai Indians faltered at the start. S. Badrinath scored a direct hit from point to catch Luke Ronchi short of the crease at the non-striker’s end.

Not much later, key man Sanath Jayasuriya was unable to pick the impressive Manpreet Singh Goni’s change of pace.

Goni bowled tight from one end, but Jacob Oram suffered at the other as Robin Uthappa (43 off 36 balls) cut loose.

The batsman displayed power and finesse before swishing at a delivery from Joginder Sharma to lose his leg stump.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni shuffled his bowlers, led with a combination of instinct and foresight.

With the ability to get his deliveries to skid off the surface, Joginder can be a dicey bowler in this format and Dhoni used him to break partnerships.

A youngster like Palani Amarnath held his nerve — after being struck for a six — to castle Pollock.
Super Kings has the last laugh

IPL an incentive, not a distraction

IPL an incentive, not a distraction - How
Jamie How insists there is no ill-feeling towards New Zealand players in the Indian Premier League - and has urged the rest of the squad to seize their chance to get noticed for the tournament.

With captain Daniel Vettori in India, How will be skipper against MCC at Arundel on Sunday when New Zealand starts preparations for its three-Test series against England.

Vice-captain Brendon McCullum is also playing in the Twenty20 tournament - he smashed 158 in his first match - along with Ross Taylor, Kyle Mills and Jacob Oram.

Coach John Bracewell insists there is unity in his squad and How believes the money and exposure of the IPL is an incentive to perform.

"I think everyone wishes they will be in India at some point," he said.

"It's like our coach says, our best players are over there and it is something to aim for. We're happy for the guys that are over there."

Ironically, How's opposite number this weekend will be former New Zealand skipper Chris Cairns, with Nathan Astle also in the MCC line-up.

Bracewell admits the situation of missing players could have a destabilising effect, but also argued that problems can arise from a number of scenarios tourists face.

"It's not ideal but it is the reality of the landscape we live in and it's a great opportunity," he said.

"It's the landscape of our salaries in New Zealand. For us we see it as a glass half full rather than half empty - it brings us into line with rugby [salaries]."

Bracewell will have his IPL players returning next week, with Mark Gillespie travelling home and Michael Mason staying in England.

When his five senior players arrive in England, squad discussions will continue over how to deal with the IPL.

Bracewell believes much of New Zealand's previous preparations have been fractured anyway by split tours and different one-day and Test personnel.

"It's something we've discussed openly as a group, at length during our summer, and we are still discussing it," he explained.

"It is part of the growth and maturity of this team that we have to work in this landscape. You are always looking for ideals, this is reality - we have to adapt quickly to comings and goings."

He added: "All things have potential for [friction]. Our particular group understand it. It's incentive-based and an opportunity to bring us into line with [the salaries of] other Test nations."

Despite fringe players being given the platform to impress, the reality is that New Zealand's five 'superstars' will be in the side for the first Test, at Lord's on May 15.

"Superstars? We're a team," said How.

"The guys are realistic about the guys coming in. They are our senior players. There is the opportunity to press for selection and you can only go out and do your best."

With Stephen Fleming's retirement adding to their problems, New Zealand is regarded in England as overwhelming underdogs as it looks to rebuild. This despite having beaten England in the one-day series, and the first Test of their three-Test series in New Zealand last month.

Bracewell himself has been suggested as a possible departure, with the 50-year-old linked with a return to Gloucestershire.

"There are a lot of options out there for coaches as well as players," he said.

"I'm constantly in touch with them because I built up a lot of relationships. It's something that is not out of the question.

"I want to return to county because I really enjoyed the cricket played, the structure and the lifestyle."

Chennai Super Kings’ First match analysis

Nayantara is one of them who is from Kollywood, the brand ambassador Chennai Super Kings. She is spending her time in a tight schedule. Now she has become physically unfit.

This master of multitasking shoots for films round-the-clock. Recently, she had some health issues due to over exertion and opted out from the responsibility of being ambassador of Chennai Super Kings which would have put her under even more work pressure. We just witnessed her star power which made IPL select her as brand ambassador. Her presence and acting skills added to the success of Yaaradi Nee Mohini, where she was cast opposite Dhanush. She was Rajinikanth's heroine in Chandramukhi and has worked with Ajith. She is going to share screen space with Vijay in Singam and with Ajith in Aegan.

Cheerleaders needs to be ban?

Now DLF IPL is going on full speed. It is extra cheer for Indian especially cricket fans. To add more joy it added cheerleaders in the fields. Indian people are always crazy about cricket. It is one kind of pleasant for them. May be someone objected about the cheerleaders that their presence are not acceptable in the play ground.

"The girls are merely artistes who perform as per the instructions of organisers," Navi Mumbai Police Commissioner Ramrao Wagh said, adding that a performance license has been granted to the organisers of the match between Mumbai Indians and Deccan Chargers to be held at Nerul's D Y Patil stadium.

In the event of the cheerleaders indulging in obscenity, Wagh said, the "license holders" (the organisers) will be prosecuted under various provisions of the Bombay Police Act for indecency in a public place and breach of license terms.

The objection on the cheerleaders was raised in the State Legislative Council by Maharashtra BJP president Nitin Gadkari, who is also a member of the House. Gadkari said it was degrading to women and should be banned.

Maharashtra's Minister of State for Home, Siddhram Mhetre had yesterday told reporters that the government will not allow the cheerleaders to perform as their acts are "absolutely obscene" and wondered why the organisers required "semi nude" women at cricket matches.

Chennai Super Kings v Kolkata Knight Riders: Who will win?

Chennai Super Kings v Kolkata Knight Riders: Who will win?

Chennai Super Kings is one of the team which still does not loss any match. It has already played two matches against Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians. The third match it will be played against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 26 at Chidambaram Stadium, in Chennai of the DLF Indian Premier League.

Kolkata Knight Riders is also another team that owns all the previous two matches and got the full score. It has beaten some of the big teams Bangalore Royal Challengers and Deccan Chargers. So the Points table is totally bowed down to the Kolkata Knight Riders. It is the top position holder of DLF Indian Premier League.

Now it is time to see what the time result will come on 26 April between the match Chennai Super Kings v Kolkata Knight Riders. Kolkata is in full strength with some high quality players Ponting, McCullum and Chris Gayle are among them. But the three are in injury they will back to home except Chris Gayle.

Sourav Ganguly's team will be the worst hit by the exodus. Ricky Ponting, McCullum and Chris Gayle, though he is yet to play due to injury, will be missing in action soon. Ponting will leave on May 1, McCullum on April 30 while the injured Gayle, even if he gets fit, will have to leave on May 15. These are big shoes to fill as Ponting is a proven commodity and McCullum became the first superstar of the IPL with a whirlwind record 158 on the opening night. They will look to the Pakistan opener Salman Butt and Zimbabwe's Tatendu Taibu to try plugging the big hole but it remains to be seen how effective they will be. Butt averages only 15.42 at a strike-rate of 81.20 in eight Twenty20 internationals and 16.62 at a strike-rate of 95 from 17 domestic Twenty20 games. Taibu averages 15.70 from 10 domestic Twenty20 matches but the runs have come at a fair clip of 122.65. Perhaps, Mohammad Hafeez will be pushed up the order. There is some good news for Kolkata, as the Pakistani seamer Umar Gul, who has joined the squad, will beef up the bowling.

Here is a complete Point Table till 24 April. After losing the third match against Rajasthan Royals Deccan Chargers confirm its tour to home. On the other hand Rajasthan Royals heroic come back driving them to the knock out league.

The Chennai Super King is lead by Indian ODI captain MS Dhoni. There others strong team members are Matthew Hayden, Stephen Fleming, Michael Hussey who are powerfully dominating the other bowlers of the opposite team. Indian Twenty20 world Champions Trophy winner bowers Joginder Sharma is also in the team. In the last match his last over’s performance help Chennai Super King although the over was not less expensive.
