Cricket: Indian Premier league

The controversial Indian Premier League Twenty20 competition has begun in Bangalore, with Australian captain Ricky Ponting's side scoring a crushing opening night win.

Captained by Sourav Ganguly, the Kolkata Knight Riders amassed a huge 3-222 from their 20 overs, with New Zealander Brendon McCullum smashing 158 from just 73 balls.

Ponting hit 20 from 20 deliveries and fellow Australian David Hussey 12 from 12.

In reply, the Bangalore Royal Challengers - featuring Australians Cameron White and Ashley Noffke - were all out for 82.

A crowd of 55,000 in Bangalore were also treated to a huge fireworks display and an appearance by NFL team the Washington Redskins' cheerleaders.

Cricket?

I'd rather watch myself slowly insert a screwdriver into my brain via my ear canal.

Please feel free to do so any time.

I like that Michael Hussey ad. I'm a Mr Cricket fan! Those whichbank commercials are a bit bizarre though!

Slappy - you are just soooo attractive in that clip!
