Thats the summary of first day of IPL season 2 !!!
Money: Its more madness than cricket. Huge money spent on broadcasting rights was evident from day one. Lot of ads and a 10-minutes statergy break inbetween games!!!!!!!
Glamour: The likes of Shilpa shetty, Preity zinta and Sharukh and co adding some glamour to the game. And their animated reactions!!! And as if thats not enough, we have a contest for best female face in the crowd for a movie in Bollywood.
Nonsense: Also called “Set Max Coverage”. Its experiment of using TV stars for crcket anchoring is quite pathetic. The likes of Mandira Bedi, is a mere annoyance. As if not enough, they got a Indian Idol winner. Oh …. God.
And cricket: Finally. Cricket took the centre stage for a while. Likes of Sachin and Dravid striking the ball and Kumble taking some wickets.
Whats missing from first day is a close contest. Hopefully we will get some good cricket in coming matches.
