It was a return worth waiting for as The Sheikh of Tweak spun his team to victory. For four overs, it was as if a time machine had dropped us in the 1990s, as Shane Warne mesmerized Ms Priety Zinta's team.
The IPL has seen some outstanding cricket - none better than my man McCullum's outstanding effort. But, for sheer class Pollock, Mcgrath and Warne have held sway over the rest. So, will the oldies still be the ones to beat or will youngsters finally assert themselves in "The Youngster's Game".

Brilliant Brendon
The heir-apparent is ready to take over. Just as King Adam Gilchrist I is ready to abdicate, we have his successor Price Brendon McCullum ready to take over. So, it seems that bowlers all over the world have a new Antipodean glove-man to be afraid of. 80*(28), 80*(47), 77(43), 52*(21), 51*(22), 50*(25) have been some of Brendon's innings on the big stage and as is evident from the strike rate, the impact is devastating.
With the Kolkatta franchise paying him a whopping US$700000 to rope him in, the IPL is the newest stage for the pocket dynamo to shine. The cover boundaries are going to be peppered and the crowd going to have their fill as McCullum looks to be one of the buys of the tournament.
He may not succeed always, but when he succeeds, boy, a television set seems to be the best invention of mankind.
