The Great Indian Cricket Tamasha

As if the shifting of the tourney or the multiple captain theory or deposing of Indian origin captains, for some reasons well known to the owners, wasn’t enough, we know have this fakeiplplayer (who has decided to go underground for now/ got caught) washing the dirty linen in public and providing much more entertainment than the IPL itself. Though the guy doesn’t look like a player but still the entertainment he has provided is awesome. (http://fakeiplplayer.blogspot.com)
A tournament which undoubtedly is a dirty nexus of big money and cricket now looks more interesting not because of the teams competing with each other but due to the good old heroes trying to shove up their owners’ a$$. With ‘the wall’ and ‘dada’ showing the ‘batliwala’ and ‘bhaand’ their real aukaat, respectively, and playing much better than their owners’ firang assets, it just remains to be seen when these two owners will kick themselves for the decisions they made. A highly diplomatic, modest and sensible guy like Dravid making statements likes ‘the conditions will definitely suit me’, ‘we are losing match in initial overs’ (implying before I even come to bat) or making violent gestures after reaching fifty tells you what these guys are feeling. Anger and a desire to screw their owners is written all over their faces. Just see them while batting and you can see the determination on their faces. I wish both team go down the well but not before these two champs have made their statements. Dada haven’t got an opportunity to speak till now but seeing what Dravid said, I bet this bhaand will simply be running for covers if Ganguly gets a chance to speak once.
BTW I fully agree with Abhinav Bindra…!!!
