Everyone loves a "feel good" story.

Adam Gilchrist, one of the most feared
wielders of the willow during his stellar international career has
finished his playing days in the IPL by taking the wicket of Harbhajan
Singh.
The former Australia cricketer, credited with taking the role of
wicketkeeper batsman to a whole new level, was playing his final match
for The Kings XI Punjab when he decided to roll his arm over, bowling
some gentle off-spin.
His first delivery was launched down the ground by late-order big
hitter Singh only to be caught on the boundary by Gurkeerat Singh for
Gilchrist's first and only IPL wicket.

It was only Gilchrist's 13th delivery in 648 senior level competitive matches.
Gilchrist celebrated with a 'Gangnam Style' dance before The Kings XI
Punjab captain was carried off on his teammates shoulders with fans
giving him a standing ovation.

"Harbhajan took my wicket many many times, so I just wanted to mimic the reaction," Gilchrist said after the match.

"I'll be happy to watch now and be entertained. I have had wonderful memories with Kings XI Punjab."

And so say all of us. Not that I have any clue about any of the games. Heard on the wireless on the way to work that someone beat someone in the something Final. TFFT.

So is the IPL the cricket equivalent of World Series Baseball, in terms of interest only within one country?

That's probably massively harsh, because people outside of the US actually do follow the World Series. I know I do.

unless you are a bookie or a relative of Srinivasan, why would you take an interest

by tricycle Mon 27 May 2013, 06:34

The Aussie players and coaches are the top overseas players, so I would've expected them to be the MLB's Venezuela.

by horace Mon 27 May 2013, 06:57

srinivasan's statement was a hoot

by horace Mon 27 May 2013, 07:16

and I see the Mumbaniacs defeated the other team in the final and that Midge took 2 /19 off 4 overs ffs and that schoolgirl was man of the series.....IPL has no cred

No wonder the schoolgirl gets all haughty about his Test position, he probably equates his stature in this tournament to his stature overall. Not the case, you huge Jessie.

Thankful that 53 days of filth is now at an end.

India's next test series is 6 months away, so enough time recuperate from the inevitable IPL injuries. Get to see some new kids on the block like Rasool, Pandey, Mohit, Chand, Zol, Warrier etc.

Did it live up to your expectations?
