More Cricket - ICL

ICL announce teams for upcoming T20 event:
For people thinking there is no enough cricket action, this should make you content. I am very impressed from the way how they announced the launch of ICL up to thier marketing skills. For sure it has attracted lot of cricket fans. To add icing on the top, its Twenty Twenty for Local heroes playing along and against huge stars. It will be exciting to watch.

Till now we all Indians watched cricket cheering together, now its going to be fun. Forget about India Vs Pakistan, its Gully1 Vs Gully2. There is going to be more fire with in Country, States, Cities, Schools, Collages and may be within houses, just like my case. I am Chennai Superstar and my wife is Hyderabad Hero.....Hey Couch..here I come.
