Korbo Korbo Korbo Re!

Well the IPL drama has grabbed the headlines for the past quite some weeks taking the shift of the Taliban! Woa, such great changes from Mumbai to Dharmashala to Johannesburg its been one helluva ride for the IPL organisers. If you ask me, its a monumental effort to hold a competition of its scale across a country as diverse as India. And then to pull out of India, 
convince the franchise owners about the same and move onto a different continent altogether requires bloody guts beyond greed as people often percieve IPL to be. Yea, its a disappointment for not having one of most exciting cricket round my city (DY Patil Stadium happened to be near, so my chances of witnessin finals r dampened again!) but in retrospect as many opposition members are touting it as a national shame, naa, don't think thats necessary. Just imagine the consequences of an attack similar to Lahore could to Indian cricket. Already we have half of the cricketing world is petrified of touring the sub continent thanks to Talibinsation and LTTE induced instabilty. We sure do not need a reason to further put ourselves down in fronta people citing our security issues. Managing the general elections of the biggest democracy in the world is no mere joke.  Coming to the other big controversy, Dada its time you move on, I mean cumon you sure don't match the agility of the younger lot (you never really did!) neither on the merit of your current form you're a direct entry. Stop playing the regional tomfoolery for sheer captaincy, we all have known you to be a man who led by example and wore his patriotism on his sleeves and given us hope. We would rather want to watch some good cricket played in and off the field in true sportsman. My favourites would be a sure tie between Chennai Superkings and Mumbai Warriors (its a tough tradeoff for my loyalties between Dhoni and Tendulkar!)

  1. well I think you have done a good analysis of the circumstances prevailing these days in our country(India).Political parties are gearing up for the general elections which are round the corner.Thanks to that, IPL had to move to SA and therefore it can be called as
    NR(IPL).This decision by BCCI has really dampened the spirit of some of the die-hard spectators of cricket who love to watch it live on the field.In addition to this security in sub-continent has once again being questioned while organising sports events of such magnitude.
    And finally the team that I'll be backing to lift the 2nd edition of IPL will be none other than Rajasthan Royals(RR)as I did the last time around.
    So are you ready for the competition?

    Well I'm sure Dhoni and his super warriors would have a bigger say(read stake) in laying their hands on the trophy!
