the battle lines have been drawn, the points system revamped, though that would be posted a bit later.
For now, savor the moment looking at the impressive ensemble we have managed to gather.
This IPL, YouTube will not be the only innovation. 8 Blogs will, for the first time, collaborate to give the best possible no holds barred coverage on a global sporting event.
What one blog can’t do on its own, 8 can do together.
Imagine, every game covered with two perspectives. Mouth watering, innit?
Take a look:
A full set of simple rules will be posted sometimes in the mid-end of February.
Finally, here is the lineup. Note that the Nationality of the blogs have been pertaining to the flavor of their writing and not the place where the bloggers actually live.
May the best blog win.

till now, watching any game online constituted googling for live streaming sites, scouring about a dozen of them, and finally settling on the one with the least glitch. Only to discover that the feed broke sooner rather than later.
The times, they are a changing.
for the better…
look at what the official IPL account tweeted:
60 IPL matches over 45 days to be broadcast live absolutely FREE on youtube!
No more googling, as google itself will provide you the live match, for free, in high definition.
The upside: anywhere you are in the world, you will never miss out on the action, provided you have a good internet connection.
The downside: you will have to witness a lot of ads while you are watching, a lot like television, maybe more. I am pretty sure there will be 30 second ads between overs, and longer ones during the breaks.
Though it is pretty clear that the upside far outweights the downside.
The verdict: A great move. Bravo! Thank you IPL.
What this will also enable is that you can watch your matches on the favorite blog/website, as all they have to do is embed the video. So you can follow their views as you are watching the game. Of course, you will choose paddle sweep, as we also have done the same.
