IPL viewing gets off to a slow start: "IPL viewing gets off to a slow start
Varada Bhat / Mumbai April 20, 2011, 0:34 IST
Ten days into the show, the country’s most hyped sporting extravaganza, the Indian Premier League cricket tournament’s fourth season (IPL-4), has failed to attract eyeballs.
According to data from overnight television rating agency aMap, the average for IPL-4 matches so far has been 2.5, compared to 3.4 last year. The average number of viewers per day rose 16 per cent, from 13.2 million in IPL-3 to 15.32 million this season, but, “Although the viewership numbers have peaked faster this season, the involvement level has gone down,” said an aMap executive. Involvement level is the the average time spent by a viewer during the match."

With football development lagging behind in South East Asia, concentrated efforts are being planned and proposed for the region to bring up the level of the game at least to the continental level.
Sri Lankan Manilal Fernando entrusted to deliver on this herculean task knows about the challenges in his way and is looking for a pragmatic approach to deal with them. The AFC Vice-President and FIFA Development Officer for South and Central Asia recently got elected to FIFA's exclusive Executive"

Kochi Tuskers Kerala skipper Mahela Jayawardene is looking for consistency as the debutant shapes up for an away game in IPL-IV.
“Everyone identifying his role is great for the team. We have enthusiastic international players, as well as keen young Indians. Most of them are keen on getting into the national team and work very hard. Hopefully we can play some consistent cricket.” Jayawardene was addressing the media at the team hotel on Tuesday.
STEPPING STONE
He talked about treating the IPL as a stepping stone to international cricket. “If they (Indian players) perform well, it gives them an opportunity to get back into the Indian team. A lot of these boys have done well over the last three IPL tournaments. I think Ravindra Jadeja had a very good game, R.P. (Singh) bowled well, so did Sreesanth. These guys are hungry for success, good for us.”"

The Victoria Mariners Premier and Midget AAA teams had a successful home opening weekend. The Premier team split their Saturday double header with the Langley Blaze then won both games against the Coquitlam Reds on Sunday. The Midget AAA team went 4 for 4 with wins over the Chilliwack Cougars on Saturday and Tri Cities Indians on Sunday.
After downing the Cougars 2-0 and 6-5 on Saturday the Midget AAA Mariners had to wait for the Indians to arrive after they were delayed in their travel from Nanaimo due to an accident on the Malahat. The Indians got on the board first scoring a run in the 2nd. Victoria answered back with 2 runs in the 3rd to take the lead. Tri Cities tied it back up in the 4th but the Mariners were able to secure a 3-2 victory scoring another run in the 6th and shutting down the Indians in the 7th."

รข€‹It's really tough to pen down my feelings after the Delhi Daredevils game. It was a mixed sort of a day where I could be satisfied with my individual performance and extremely disappointed with the defeat. So I would pick the disappointment of losing the game over my all-round effort as I always believe that individual effort is of not much worth if it doesn't translate into the overall success of the team.
So our home run of three games at the DY Patil stadium ends on a sour note. But without divulging much into the details of the defeat, all I have to say is that we didn't play well at the key moments of the match and that's why we didn't deserve to win the game."

So far, things have not been easy for the Molalla Indians softball team.
With a 2-6 overall record the team has been working to improve on both defense and offense and establish themselves as a team to watch out for in the Tri-Valley league.
The girls came painfully close to a first league win of the season April 7 on the road against the Huskies, but lost 4-3 in overtime."
