One thing you can bank on is that it's impossible for TV companies to make more money than they dream of. :D
Haha probably, but what I read was they were continually jacking up the prices for ad slots during the tournie because the demand was so much higher than they expected.

How could Punjab expect to win the game? Farce. Should have been called a draw and the next game should have started.
Yea, or at least come up with a better formula for T20. I assume they use the D/L system? That was designed with ODI in mind.

This has been a truly **** match, crap bowling, suicidal running, poor team selection, no atmosphere, Sehwag's salvaging it a little here.

They should've made the second game a 17 over match and left this inning as a 12 over one.

Just get rid of the ****ty cash-cow, time-out bollocks and have a full game but of course that isn't going to happen.

Can't blame the crowd. Weather is crap, only two South Africans are playing, neither of whom play in Cape Town and Abdulla is a relative nobody.

Thought Vettori bowled well.
He bowled as you'd expect him to bowl, they played him like he was SF Barnes reincarnated. Spinners are going to dominate this tournament. Add to the previous tirade crap fielding, e.g. Sehwag, VRV Singh.

VRV sporting quite the belly.

Sham match. Think Mohali might be this years favourites for the wooden spoon, no bowling and batting doesn't look too inspiring.

Well that was a load of ****. Hopefully, the next game is better.
This was supposed to be a match between two of my personal favourite teams, but it happens like this. Maybe the next match between two teams I don't like much will be better, unless SRK 'disconnects' the power supply to the stadium.

Wasting so much time on ****ty presentations now. No one in the crowd or at home gives a crap fellas.

Isn't there a reason why 20 overs are a minimum for a one day matches .Apprantly not.I think twenty twenty needs more bells and whistles.Like if you hit a certain target they send in a ball mechine and you just hit out for a bonus over.:laugh:

Make it like the MLB Home-run Derby. Have signs out on the stands and if a player hits it they get a prize.

Now a light tower goes out :laugh:

Wow, hope this game is a good one, shame I have work tommorow and need to be up in about 5 and a half hours.
