2009 DLF IPL

I'm keeping with the Mumbai Indians, even if Loots is not there anymore.

I was hoping to see Polly bowling again, but I guess having him as coach is just as good. And a team with Tendulkar, Jayasuriya, Dwane Bravo, JP Duminy and Ryan Mclaren (Go Eagles!!) is bound to be a force to be reckoned with.
 
Anyone else here at st Georges park in PE today?

New Delhi - England star Kevin Pietersen will have a bunch of "naughty' and "hottie" cheerleaders rooting from the sidelines when he makes his Indian Premier League debut on Saturday.

Pietersen, bought by the Bangalore Royal Challengers for a record $1.55m, will clash with good friend Shane Warne's Rajasthan Royals on the opening night in Cape Town, South Africa.

The Royal Challengers, owned by flamboyant liquor and airline tycoon Vijay Mallya, had hired the Washington Redskins cheerleaders for the inaugural IPL season last year in India.

The scantily-clad girls obviously failed to inspire as the Royal Challengers finished seventh out of eight teams in the glitzy Twenty20 tournament.

So Mallya dropped the Redskins and hired 24 members of the US-based Varsity cheerleader group for the second season, renaming them the "White Mischief Gals".

"A little bit naughty, a little more hottie and a lot more mischievous," a Mallya company release said of the group, named after his 'White Mischief' brand of vodka.

"Necklines plunging, hemlines rising, they are all set to let the mercury soar, higher than any of the sixes that come from the blades of Kevin Pietersen."

The cheerleaders, the release added, have been "specially trained in flirty acrobatic skills for a scintillating on-field performance."

The use of cheerleading squads last year provoked complaints from some conservative quarters in India.

The Mumbai Indians forced their cheerleaders to don pants instead of skirts after protests from political parties.

The White Mischief Gals will travel across South Africa for all Royal Challenger matches during the five-week tournament, offering fans "flirtatious messages and tips," the statement said.

Pietersen will only enjoy their support for the first two weeks, as he is due to return to England in early May to prepare for the Test series against the West Indies.
 
Will be pretty pathetic if he gets booed playing for an IPL team.

Nice photos bwana.

The South African teams have won both the warm-up matches that I'm aware of. Okay, not sure whether the IPL teams have been playing their int'l stars or just their Indian quota players, but it's nice to see anyway. :)

Edit: just seen the scoreboard pic - Punjab were playing with a very close to full strength team: Sohail, Katich, Sangakara, Bopara, Kohli, Malik.

There has been more than those two. But only today's one and the cobras-ruyals were shown a bit on ss. Titans got rolled for 99 vs decan chargers yesterday and the knight riders beat the eagles in some of the other warmup games.
