IPL(15) vs IPL(2) ... an IPL match postponed


The schedule and dates for the big Indian Political League were announced almost a month ago. But, the real fight of words has just begun. One IPL is another IPL's (Indian Priemier League) loss. Australian Davis Cup team has already asked for the venue change for there match against India citing concerns over security saying that, if IPL has been shifted from the home country than they should also shift the Davis Cup. But thats a different story.

There is another very interesting war of words going on between two probable PM candidates namely Manmmohan Singh and L.K Advani. I don't have to make it clear here who, I support. 

Since, last 5 days (read years) BJP has been bowling an attack on
star batsman Mannmohan Singh of Congress team, who has dropped the run rate to a predicted 5 % due to external pressures and on account of Duckworth Lewis recalculations. On seeing there deem prospects of winning he muttered the courage of verbal abusing the BJP's captain L.K Advani, on the very final day to save his face. 

L.K Advani shot back at him and challenged for an shorter version of the game that is Twenty20 (live debate). Congress captain Sonia Gandhi and managers Digvijay Singh are not pleased, citing that they have played enough matches throughout the 5 years on their home turf , Lok Sahbha.  These matches with no neutral audiences and not so good commentary (journalism) had millions of fans disappointed were played in an indoor stadium due to security and proprietary reasons. Though, public at large is waiting for the shorter version of the game between the two top teams of IPL at a neutral venue as home turf gives undue advantage to home side. Moreover, after the recent war of words on the field between these players and a challenge by the BJP's captain things have heated up even more.

The star batsman of Congress, who got injured in the last leg of the match, backed by his team captain and managers is not ready for such an challenge. Congress denial to face BJP in a challenged match has shown it weak and they want to shift this IPL(15) match after the IPL(2) match due to security reasons(elections) and terror threat(voting). But thats not a national shame it seems.
