IPL :week 2

The IPL has already seen a lot of action. The Bhajji-Sree slapping controversy, some brilliant batting performances and now the latest controversy between Warne and Ganguly.
During the match between Jaipur and Kolkata, G.Smith took a brilliant catch to dismiss Ganguly. There was too much element of doubt so Ganguly asked the umpire to review the catch.This made Warne very angry. He thought that this was against the spirit of the game.
In the Bhajji-Sree slap controversy, Harbhajan has faced a ban of 11 IPL matches as a result he will not play again in this season of the IPL. But I think Sreesanth should have also got some penalty because this is not the first time he has been caught in such an act.
Most of the states,including Delhi, have also banned the cheerleaders. There has been a lot of controversies regarding this issue and people at very levels, like the ministers, have also been involved.
At last now we come to Cricket.
There have been some mind blowing performances by the youngsters.
There have been some funny incidences on the field as well. Like when J. Kallis bowled D.Karthik of a terrific yorker and broke stumps. During a match in Kolkata , the floodlights went off for a good half an hour.
Bowlers have really got a beating in this tournament so far. The batsmen have enjoyed themselves. There have been some disappointments as well. The 2 most expensive teams in this tournament have failed to perform. A lot was expected of them. But this is cricket, you never know what coming next. So be prepared and expect the unexpected.!!!!
