IPL - Season 3: Curtain Raiser By Rajadhyax
The DLF Indian Premier League (IPL), season 3, is about to get under way from March 12 onwards and the excitement is palpable. After the security scare of last year, the league comes back to India from its previous South African sojourn. The sponsors have got into the act and hyped it on that very count with every franchise skipper looking into the camera and saying "aapko bahot miss kiya" or we missed you a lot. And to a certain extent we did miss some aspects in season 2.

Here comes the 20/20 season... By CAM
Apart from a few odd series here and there, the twenty20 season is upon us. Again! It seems like it was just yesterday when the second Indian Premier League season took place in South Africa and Pakistan won the T20 in England. Now, in less than a year, a third season of the IPL set to kick off on March 12th with the ICC World Twenty20 following right behind it in the Caribbean.

Another Roger Bannister? By CAM
Who is that - you may ask. For the longest time, no one believed that it was humanly possible to run a mile in less than 4 minutes. Many even came up with scientific reasoning as to why it was simply not possible to achieve the feat. Then, in 1954, a virtual unknown from Harrow, England broke the humanly constructed mental shackles and ran the sub-4-minute mile in front of 3000 spectators in Oxford. Ironically, after this feat by Sir Roger Bannister, several have achieved this 'unachievable goal'.
