It is proving hard to stay on top in the IPL. Warnie and the Royals went to Mumbai today to face a resurgent Indians side on a two-game winning streak. Put in to bat, the Royals were skittled out for 103, the lowest first innings total in the tournament so far. Only the big-hitting Watson and reliable Asnodkar got into double figures. I had hopes that the wicket was dodgy and that Tanvir, Watson and Warne would produce a bowling miracle, but it was not to be. Punjab now head the table on net run rate, but Delhi are likely to overtake them if they can beat the Super Kings tomorrow. My, it is tight at the top.
