Previews are back - CLT20 this time

Hello Friends !! Feeling great to write for you all thro my friend Christopher Poshin David’s blog “ Poshin’s World ”. As some of you might remember, I did a series of previews before the third edition of IPL. And here I am again, just before the CLT20 is about to kick off !!

This year, Champions League T20 has been in the news for quite a lot of reasons like Lalit Modi’s removal from the helm, players switching loyalties or wondering which team to play for, and so on..... And, it willdefinitely be a big disappointment to cricket fanatics like me that they moved it to South Africa.

I’m not blaming South Africa, yes, it is a nice place to play cricket as we’ve found out time and again ( IPL 2 , Inaugural T20 WC ) .... But, what we ought to remember here is that Cricket while being played in INDIA is absolutely a different ball game !! And if the plan was to help Indian Economy too, the switch to SA now will effectively make that plan a farce.

Alright, what’s happened has happened and there’s absolutely no use of us pondering over it. Lets get back to the present and shift our focus towards previewing the teams that are going to battle it out this time round.

There are going to be a total of 10 teams competing ( down from he 12 last season thanks to the two English teams not taking part ) and they have been split into two groups of 5 teams each. I’ll be previewing them adhering to the schedule given below starting tomorrow.....

Lions 16^th Aug

Guyana 19^th Aug

Mumbai Indians 21^st Aug

South Australia 24^th Aug

Royal Challengers Bangalore 27^th Aug

Warriors 29^th Aug

Victoria Bushrangers 1^st Sep

Wayamba 3^rd Sep

Central District Stags 5^th Sep

Chennai Super Kings 8^th Sep

Do be back again to read the previews and give your feedback/comments/arguments/opinions.....
