Big PictureCricket is not known to ask itself the question whether and why the show must go on. The show just keeps going on. The last two weeks have been serious scandal: players have looked back suspiciously at certain events in certain matches, fans have wondered if they actually follow a sport, cricket writers have asked themselves if the great strategic moves they wrote about were indeed strategic moves and not "spot-fixes", and the ICC has deemed three men unfit to represent cricket until they are cleared.The show perhaps has no choice but to go on. Sponsors have paid the monies, broadcasters have set up the cameras and the stump microphones, the teams have flown in and the second season of Champions League Twenty20 is upon us, though once again without teams from the country that holds the World Twenty20 crown.
On then to Highveld Lions v Mumbai Indians, which seems a hopeless mismatch on paper. It's Tendulkar, Pollard, Malinga, Zaheer, Bravo, Harbhajan v Alviro Petersen and lesser-known friends. It's also the classic tussle between the powerful and the underdog. One team is the triumph of money, a rich, powerful ensemble, most of them bought in an auction, but also a unit that has learned to play well enough as a team to have dominated the IPL. The other team is largely a collection of homegrown talent, who have stayed together through good times and bad, winning the inaugural domestic Twenty20 competition in South Africa, then struggling for three years before finishing runners-up last year.
The Lions play as a team day in and day out, across formats; Mumbai's superstars gather for a month or so every year just for Twenty20s, and their being together next year depends on another auction. This is the first time Mumbai are coming across a team that is not similarly acquired at an auction. At the same time Mumbai are one of the IPL teams to have invested wholeheartedly in domestic talent, in the likes of Ambati Rayudu, R Sathish and Saurabh Tiwary. Lions don't have much else other than domestic talent to work with. Petersen is the only current international in the squad, Neil McKenzie the most experienced, and Zander be Bruyn and Vaughn van Jaarsveld the nearly men. A clash of Twenty20 philosophies is a good way to start the Champions League with.
