Indian premier league 2 is upon us... and the public is buzzing with excitement.
Not me.. oh no. Not this time. Its nothing but big hype over big players who dont make big runs but do stuff big money into their pockets, basically a big waste of time. I wont watch even for a second.This is what I told myself at the start. But then wonder why my hand twitches to grab the TV remote every second night. Why do feel the urge to see some big hits by whomever who hits them? What is this invisible force which is tempting me, enticing me to jump on the couch and turn on SET MAX?Is this common? Or should I see the doc or sumthing? Basically I think I have become very undisciplined. But i dont blame myself, after spending the whole day in the office who wouldn't want to relax a bit?
Well coming back to IPL, this year toh its definitely gone overboard with the advertisements. I mean c'mon-Strategic breaks of 7.5 minutes after 10 overs each. Boss, only strategy behind this is to attract even more
sponsors with more advertisement time. As if there isn't enough ad time any ways.I mean compare cricket to football. Twenty 20 was supposed to be crickets answer to football's no timewasting, high entertainment in less time schedule advantage. But boy, Lalit Modi's got other ideas.And did you notice the player names been removed from the players backs. Oh wait , its there but on the lower back. You dont have to be Einstein to realize that that is where the camera focuses on most of the times so .. why write some nonsense like players names.. Anyways the got ads everywhere shoulders,chests,bats,helmets. Probably they should do some face painting as well I mean c'mon why waste so much space.. sheesh!
So guys I definitely recommend you to watch IPL , oh I mean watch the new Indian Advertisement League(IAL) .. with some cricket in between!
Well to tell the truth, I watch the IPL only because of one man, Yusuf Pathan. What a player,if he hits them ... they stay hit all right. And of course there is also Virender Sehwag. Yup, these two rock yaar. Hmm, come to think of it , Gilchrist ain't bad either mate? What a cover drive he's got! These three are the reasons why IPL sells. You know, Chris Gayle hits them big too not to mention Hayden with the kind of form he is in! Yup its just bcoz of these 5, turn on the TV. Oh, how could I forget KP my favourite and oh my god Sachin - everybody's favourite. And last but not the least Yuvi ... his six sixes in the world cup are still fresh as a daisy in my mind. Yup, its these eight. So I will make a compromise. All I need to do is watch matches when these 8 are involved. No need to waste time watching the remaining bores. Now tell me whether that isn't the best plan anyone's ever come up with. Hmmm, so the only matches I will watch involves Rajasthan, Delhi, hmmm.. Hyderabad, KKR ,Chennai, Royal challengers,hmmm.. Mumbai I, and ...... OH MY GOD!
