IPL Cheerleaders

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has thrown up plenty of interesting scenarios that have opened up fresh avenues of discussions in the Indian media and the blogosphere. One of the hotly discussed issue has been that of importing cheerleaders from the U.S. and having them perform in front of crowds during a match. I linked [...]

Much Needed Disciplinary Action

For a change, I am glad with IPL’s decision to ban Harbhajan Singh for the rest of the currently ongoing Twenty20 tournament. Further more, Harbhajan stands to lose nearly 2.67 crores for being such a sore loser. I’m sorry to see Mumbai Indians whom I naturally support in the IPL league lose a player but [...]

Pinky Sixers

How can you take a sports team serious when they are dressed like this? Perhaps Manish Malhotra should restrict himself to Karan Johar movies [via The Bombay Bitch].

Live web-based Twenty20 Cricket Commentary

We had tons of fun during the last match between India and Pakistan and shouted ourselves hoarse at every six and four that the Indian batsmen hit. And our 200+ audience loved it. They even stayed with us when our cable operator gave us kalti (damn! cable monopoly) and disrupted our transmission. We continued the [...]

Coming soon…ICL Vs IPL

BCCI is still under a culture shock. Decades of monarchy with no competition made them to take a few things for granted. Can’t blame them, can we? And when ICL “threatened” with creating a sports body, BCCI gave its knee jerk reaction to it by sacking a few players and ex players who defected. Now, [...]
