I no what he means though. It hasnt really been advertised much in the UK. With it been on Setanta its not a very regularly watched channel for most people. Would be much better on Sky Sports in my personal humble opinion.

i am not indian.. so the City teams dont mean much to me, and getting to grips with their names and colours and whose playing for who is a bit complicated.. I'm sure by 2nd season i will be an expert!!

Its more to do with.. which STAR(s) is/are playing today and then follow the game

one good thing about Setanta is, they show higlights 2-3 times a day aswell as the live game! so loadsa cricket, and usually i cant watch the whole match from start to finish so watch in bits

ipl is about 2-3 games away from the SEMI final stages...

Warne's Rajasthan Royals are top placed.. funnily enough the cheapest team in the IPL !!!
Dhoni's Chennai SuperKings are a close 2nd..

3rd and 4th is a bit tight with Delhi DareDevils (Sehwag, McGrath), Mumbai Indians (Sachin, Jayasuria)

Bottom three teams are Deccan Chargers (Gilli, Afridi) and Bangalore Royals (Dravid, Kallis, Misbah), Kolkatta KnightRiders (Ganguly, Akhtar) - most expensive team at 110million ???

(I think i missed a team since theres 8 alltogether)

[edit] Punjab - (Yuvraj, Marsh) who are thru to semis btw!
