What the prize money in the IPL is!

I got news on the website ‘The Australian’, the heading was ‘Where the wickets are paved with gold’. Do you think which wickets are warped with the precious metal gold? It is nothing but India. There is nothing to say newly about Indian cricket. Recently BCCI inaugurate Indian Premier League (IPL). The prize money is too high than any cricket matches. The players who have relation with IPL are earning a lot of money from the tournament. The payers who are playing well in the matches are getting more money. So it is totally a game of money.

The Australian wrote:

At least two of the Australians have earned $3000 or more per run scored. And it didn't matter what sort of run. A nice cover drive and an ugly outside edge were equal in the eyes of the benevolent bean-counters.

Ricky Ponting went for a relatively modest $400,000 when sold at auction in February to the Kolkata Knight Riders, a franchise so wealthy its pads, gloves, helmets and God knows what else appear to be plated with gold.

The Australia captain was no doubt a little put out to learn his trusty all-rounder Andrew Symonds was bought for $1.35million by the Deccan Chargers, but did not complain too loudly.

In the end, Ponting has emerged as the highest paid Australian batsman when earnings are worked out on a rupees-per-runs-scored basis.

I just have quote these three paragraphs. If want to know more you can visit that site.

Australia in West Indies: Couch is worried about Ricky Ponting’s performance

More than six members of selected Test Squad are plying Indian formatted IPL in Indian home ground. Most of the Australian players are doing not only well but also hold the top record in Indian Premier League. Only the skipper Ricky Ponting performed badly. Among the four matches two was golden duck and other two was 20 and 19. The performances depressed the Australian Coach too.

All the Aussies may back to home before Monday because of the campaign before West Indies tour. May be Ponting will be trained about the lack that caused in IPL tournament. On the other hand B Hodge, D Hussey, Hayden’s eye attracted performance will help them to do well in the upcoming tour in West Indies that will be taken place form May 22.

The couch Nielsen is also worried about Ricky Ponting too. "He'll come back and I am sure the opportunities to bat outside against net bowlers over there in India will hold him in good stead," Nielsen told the Herald Sun. "It will be great opportunity for him to come back with cricket under his belt and start to knuckle down and get himself right for Test match cricket.

It is a good chance to purify all the member of Australian squad. Before the tour it is a fruitful practice for the Aussies. The two weeks campaign will make accurate of all the players.

Rajasthan Royals wins raise them in the second Position

After winning the toss Rajasthan Royals captain Shane Warne selected bat first. It was a very good decision for the players of the Rajasthan Royals. The day was very hot to field first at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. The fourth successive victory of the team rises up in the second position of the Score Table. The movement of the captain of the Rajasthan Royals was really eye attracted. These movements reminded me the let Hansie Cronje who always gave tips bally after a ball. Today I saw the same activities to Shane Warne the best leg spinner in the world.

Rajasthan's preferred method has been to chase a target, but this time Warne changed the tactic, and Asnodkar, who opened the innings with Graeme Smith, got into his stride immediately. He cut, drove and slogged for his 60, playing cautiously against Ishant Sharma and Umar Gul - who eventually had him caught trying to pull - and targeting the wayward Ashok Dinda and Ajit Agarkar. He hit Agarkar for three successive fours and reached his fifty off 29 balls.

Yusuf, who also got to his fifty off 29 balls, added 53 with Asnodkar. He went after David Hussey's insipid spin and Agarkar's short-of-length deliveries and helped Rajasthan score 53 between overs 10 and 15. Yusuf got most of his runs by waiting on the back foot and hitting it powerfully to either side of the stumps. He reached his fifty with a massive six driven straight on to the roof. Ravindra Jadeja's cameo - 33 off 19 balls - helped Rajasthan to a competitive score.

The all-rounder of the Rajasthan team showed a top class performance. On the other hand the serial batting downfall cased the defeat of 45 runs. Last but not least, the absence of some top class batsmen such as Ricky Ponting and McCullum was another gap to defeat the match.

IPL has increased the Relationship between the Cricketers

Australian skipper Ricky Ponting thought the Indian Premier League will increase the relationship between cricketers of both subcontinent and abroad. His comment is not less important, I think so. As an example I want to say that before inaugurate IPL no one thought that Indian-Pakistan will play in a same team that was unbelievable. Even in the last summer the rival between India-Australian was in ultimate stage. Just after 15 days Australian cricketers joined IPL without use any words. Really it is amazing.

"I had Ganguly and Ishant Sharma both in my side. We got on really, really well," he said.

"I think it's a good opportunity for some of those cultural differences or breakdowns in international cricket to be understood better."

Ponting says he is already looking forward to another stint in the IPL.

"The professionalism around the franchises and around the tournament was great," he said.

"I enjoyed and it will be good when I get a chance to go back and play some more."

He says the ICC needs to recognise the success of the Indian Premier League.

"I think they'd be silly if they didn't put it on the calendar," he said.

"There's a real danger that international players will see the glitz and glamour of this event and won't want to play international cricket anymore which I don't think would be great for the game."

All the Australian cricketers who are in international teal will have to return home before 15 May because of tours. Australia has a tour of West Indies form 22 May. They will play a three Test, five ODI and a T20 formatted match.

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.

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.

Why Royal Challenger Bangalore is showing poor performances in IPLT20?

The days are coming hard for the Royal Challenger Bangalore. It still does not add more than 2 points in the basket. It is not honorable for Indian Test skipper Rahul Dravid. Royal Challenger Bangalore just won one match against Mumbai Indians, the fifth match of DLF IPLT20 tournament. So what is the main cause of the defeat of the team?

I think there is no hard hitter a batsman in the team. Most of them are middle orders batsmen. Even I do not see any notable blowers in the team. Only Jacques Kallis is the top all-rounder. Although Zaheer Khan is the blower of the team but he has not any eye killer performances in the T20 formatted cricket. Even he is not the regular players in Indian T20 team too.

The top order batsmen of Royal Challenger Bangalore P Kumar and W Jaffer are not regular players. Any way the middle order batsmen LRPL Taylor, JH Kallis, R Dravid and MV Boucher are looking good but in T20 formatted match it need more run in a short time. Is it possible for them?
