Post Number 100 = a tribute to the IPL

How good is the Indian Premier League. Nation States have been properly dispensed with - what are they but an expression of ruling class vanity and overreach anyway?

What a great season is unfolding.  A smart move to hold the season in South Africa - I hope we get to host the highest echelon of cricket some day.

I have seen some huge hitting and some clever bowling on the 30 seconds in total coverage I have seen so far.  Murrili's dismissal of Pietersen will stay in my mind for ever - was it better than the ball of the century or is it the ball of this century? 

I have also seen The Haydos hit the odd six - I wonder if he is in this team for pure runs?

I haven't been able to sort out who is who and who plays for who yet but if I see another twenty seconds over the weekend I might.

The IPL is a great creation of the finest endeavours our species can muster - snippets here and there, perfect for our busy life and times.

Apparently the Channel Nine All stars lost an away game to the Pakistan franchise over night - what a great move to bring back Roy Symonds!  

Now for the next 100!

Hobart Tigers Walloped but Good Friday Football a winner!

Just returned from the TCA - the best community football venue I know - where Glenorchy bullocked a gallant young Hobart Tigers team out of the way to the tune of 91 points.  However, it was a great day off the field - loads of people. The Statewide League is back!
