With the IPL now in full swing in South Africa one of the main reasons for taking the competition to there was the weather. Now I'm no expert but its Autumn in South Africa, the weather is turning. Winter is around the corner and the Quinziste Rugby season is now in full swing with the Super (sic) 14.
So, how can Lalit Modi be over impressed with some of the weather that they have faced so far in South Africa. Rain hit the second day of the competition at Newlands when the Delhi Daredevils overcame Kings XI Punjab on the Duckworth/Lewis method. Then the move over to Durban didn't help Kings XI Punjab as they lost their second game via Duckworth/Lewis, this time to Kolkata Knight Riders and the ensuing game between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians was abandoned without a ball being bowled.
Meanwhile the start of the season in England has escaped the worst of the April weather as the country currently basks in a late spring heatwave. Pretty ideal conditions for cricket to be honest.
Well done Mr Modi, a great decision to take the tournament to South Africa.
Oh, and DLF Maximums. Stop it. Now. It's a 6.
And before anyone reminds me, I know it's 75 years. Even Manchester City have won a title in that time.
