ILP starts with a whimper............................

Game #1 of this year's ILP was a disappointing one sided contest.


Chennai Super Kings were far from super and weren't very regal in their 112 all out. Mumbai Indians easily knocked those off with 19 balls to spare, short changing the noisy assembly at Chepauk (Madras CC).


One to watch - Richard Levi (50) for the Mumbai Indians

Snow has now melted

Faf du Plessis' running out in the first over set the tone for the whole game.


Tomorrow's opener at TB has the same student bashing Notts XI plus Mullaney and Adams.


The Pears squad is  Mitchell*, Klinger, Solanki, Ali, Kervezee, Cameron, Scott+, Choudhry, Lucas, Jones,  Richardson, Shantry
