IPL Review

The IPL is finally over. I did not follow IPL much last year because of the hectic schedules so I did not have much idea about how it is like. It was fun this year following all the games. Fantasy cricket made it even more interesting.
Its all a good concept. But you can't help thinking that its too long. Its hard to understand why every team has to play each other twice. The home and away concept seems to be flawed. Moreover, waiting for 37 days to know who the winner is, is just not done. One of the best things about T20 is that you get to know the winner in 3 hours. So waiting that long to decide the winner is just like watching a 4 or 5 test series to finally know who is going to win. And that defeats the purpose of T20! I also think that most of us guys even lost interest in Fantasy cricket half way through!
So while IPL promises fun, an overdose of cricket can get nauseating. And thats what happened this time atleast. I hope the organizers do something about it next year.
