</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Its not that far now as the show would end on this weekend. Another international tournament is closing down. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Definitely would bring lot of changes for each international team so that they can rectify their errors for the biggest Cricket event that's coming up next year; </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">World Cup 2011</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">.</span></span>An Optimistive Soul..http://www.blogger.com/profile/16865932596723069050noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103017377793495369.post-67092816706700217672010-04-22T10:14:00.000+01:002010-04-22T10:14:17.899+01:00What about IPL-IV?<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">IPL: I - 2008 - Success</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> IPL: II - 2009 - Success</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">IPL: III.- 2010 - About to be a Success again.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A lot of drama going on between the 22 yard pitch on the field & off the field now has also taken its pace. On the field Winner Team would be decided in next couple of days. But, off the field drama, excitement, suspense & hitting around the park is expected to take on some time as the current scenario is portraying. Every Team's Management, Media-News Papers, Govt. & IT officials are on the heals these days. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On the whole, if it hampers the image of Cricket, it would be a great setback for all professionals & cricket lovers.

<br />
For critics, it may be a tiring 45 days just before the great event coming up end of April 2010. This championship has every thing in it so far, from a big platform to showcase an individual's performance to the whole world - to - a live training camp with an exposure of international & established players.<br />
<br />

It was no doubt a good sign for the upliftment of the game & motivating Indian Hockey Camp.<br />
<br />
Would this be a bitter experience for the sponsors & many other state sports clubs to step forward & generate a spark in the demotivated HOCKEY in India.<br />
<br />
This may turn out to be an hindering factor for other sporting games in the country, after such a poor show.An Optimistive Soul..http://www.blogger.com/profile/16865932596723069050noreply@blogger.com0
