		<title>Bowling attack continues to haunt Superkings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Sports fans can be a strange lot. They can forgive and forget a shambolic performance quite easily and at the same time harp on matches where the team loses by very small margins. But what fans cannot put up with is a lack of visble progress in their team. And that is exactly what seems [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harsha Bhogle on TED.com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So, I was trawling through Ted.com when I came across this Harsha Bhogle video on the rise of cricket in India. Harsha is his usual charming self as he outlines the latest episode in the rise of cricket in India – T20.
Overall, it was a fairly ordinary talk – coming from one of the sharpest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mongoose Spits Venom as CSK squeeze past the Daredevils</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In what proved to be a return to competitive cricket at IPL 3, the Chennai Super Kings beat the Delhi Daredevils by 5 wickets, with 5 balls to spare, on a slightly two-faced Kotla wicket this Friday afternoon. Although the pitch did act up from time to time, for the most part it was a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Daredevils deflated by Tendulkar Explosion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Things that are overhyped often fail to live up to their billing – Murphy, we have to concede, is a very powerful man after all. Tonight’s match was no exception as well – Delhi vs. Mumbai is a big rivalry in Indian cricket. Add to it the exciting line ups and of course, the Kotla [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chennai Super Kings give Knight Riders a Royal Hiding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The Super Kings stormed back in style on Tuesday night, hammering the Kolkata Knight Riders by 55 runs to take them into third place in the nascent IPL league table. As this correspondent noted two days ago, the Bengali outfit are nearly as overhyped as their owner’s acting skills, and their meek capitulation to a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kings Beheaded at Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
While one might say the Super Kings have always been slow starters, that things will come together in the fullness of time, that Yes, we will most definitely reach the semi-finals, I believe the thing that says it all last night was the fact that a stray dog spent more time on the pitch than [...]]]></description>

		<title>IPL Season 3: Will Mumbai and Kolkata finally come good</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The only two teams that have failed to make the semifinals in both the editions have been, ironically, the cities with the highest profiles and the cities that have been backbones of Indian cricket. If the Mumbai Indians acquired a big profile thanks to the Ambanis, the iconic status of the city itself and it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Terrorist threat at the IPL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The third season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is upon us and much like the previous two editions, most of the the talking points leading up to the tournament are taking place off the field.
 
In the first edition, the news was dominated by big money and pretty faces as glamorous Bollywood stars and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Red Mist Descending</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Liverpool&#8217;s season seems to get worse by the day &#8211; every misplaced back pass, every scuffed shot, every yellow card borne out of a frustrated tackle &#8211; it all contributes to what is turning out to be a spectacularly average year for the Red half of Merseyside.
A 1-0 defeat at the DW Stadium last night [...]]]></description>

		<title>Landmark goal for Scholes as United go top</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
 
Manchester United moved back to the top of the Premiership table last night with a deserved 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers – even if they made it look fairly difficult. Considering the close nature of the battle for the league title – United will be very happy with three points, which is all that [...]]]></description>
