Ambimama - India

Chennai losing to Bangalore did not make me feel sad at all. But Mumbai fighting so nicely and losing by a run! A sporting Tendulkar congratulated Yuvi for his efforts, fielding. Yuvi on the other hand made harsh comments on the Mumbai crowd. Yuvi has started sledging the Mumbai crowd also!

Now Chennai must win both the remaining matches. It’s all going to be nice for the next few days.

IPL is a nice sporting event. I wish to start and sponsor local teams here like KK Princes, Royapuram Rajas, Mambalam Mandus, Triplicane Thathas, Adyar Asadus, Nellai Bommans, Sivakasi Vedis and Vellore Vettis.

The agni nakshatiram is going to end in a few days. It is a natural phenomenon that rains followed by heavy wind and thunder will come at the end of “Kathiri” or the Hottest period.

But this is all happening when there is a match at Chepauk today. Now the time is 6.25 pm and there is a non-stop heavy rains for the past 15 minutes.

There will be reduced overs or D/L method as heavy rains are in Chennai. Let the rains be near my Home and I will enjoy the rain and watch the match on TV.

I tried to capture the wind and rain. The droplets in the camera are heavy.

Fastest ball in cricket history by Shoaib Akthar from Pakistan. He is called Rawalpindi Express.

Shoaib Akthar fastest ball in history.

Rajasthan has made it to semis. Chennai are in a good position to enter the semis.

Bangalore, Deccan and Kolkatta have lost the race. It’s almost impossible for these three to enter semis.

Out of three teams Mumbai, Punjab and Delhi, Punjab has less chance of entering the semi final of IPL cricket.

Punjab has a weak bowling with Piyush Chawla, Romesh Powar and Irfan Pathan. The fielding is below par of first-class cricket.

Yuvraj just lost the touch of winning attitude. Sangakkara and Jayawardene too has returned to Test match style of batting. Punjab sure is out of the semis in IPL.

Delhi and Mumbai are in good form with Tendulkar bringing luck and confidence to Bombay and Gambhir and Sehwag in 100% form.

A win in today’s match by Chennai Super Kings against Bangalore will take Dhoni’s team to semis. I wish at least this time my predictions come right. It had gone wrong many times!

Chepauk has the atmosphere and the crowd is sportive, the most knowledgeable and appreciative in the country. A standing ovation to Saeed Anwar after his record breaking 194 against India in 1997 and when Pakistan won the Test match in 1999 are some proof.

I have plans to go the stadium, even though tickets are expensive. It is hot and humid today. If the heat continues, I will give the tickets to my friends. I will relax at Home and watch the match

Chennai Superkings will win the match today and Murali, Balaji and Badrinath will be the key players who will make it happen.
