CibbuanoIndian Premier League Twenty 20 is under way

Warne is mobbed by teammates after scoring the winnings runs for Rajasthan Royals over the Deccan Chargers.
The much hyped Indian Premier League Twenty 20 tournament is well under way and has been offering us plenty of pulsating cricket action despite all the matches played in the wee hours of the morning AEST.
So far, five Aussies in nine games played have been named man of the match and it has also been a joy seeing retired greats such as Glenn McGrath and legendary leg-spinner Shane Warne back in action again.
Warne, in particular, seems to be continuing to write his own scripts after leading his Rajasthan Royals side to a seven-wicket victory over Adam Gilchrist and Andrew Symonds' Deccan Chargers overnight.
'Roy' - the most expensive Australian player in the franchise - gave another blistering batting performance by blazing 117 not out off just 53 balls to give his side a total of 5-214 after 20 overs.
However, his bowling was much less impressive as he was belted 45 runs off just 17 balls as Warnie got his team home with a six off Symonds' bowling for the winner and finished not out 22 off nine balls to give the Rajasthan Royals one ball to spare at 7-217.
The current standings in the IPL are:
Teams MP W L
Kolkata 2 2 0
Delhi 2 2 0
Chennai 2 2 0
Rajasthan 3 2 1
Bangalore 2 1 1
Mumbai 2 0 2
Deccan Chargers 3 0 3
Punjab 2 0 2
