cricketainment

I was pondering over the title of this post , ya its cricket but with too much of entertainment, howz that? :)what do u expect from any bollywood flick for complete entertainment? lovely ppl, big scenes, fights , emotions and ofcourse a great feel good end.Dont you think our IPL had all the above mentioned traits? , this had all the lovely ppl who had to get into action without any cuts , Big scenes of ball crossing the stadium with a strike rate exceeding 200, the slaps on ground, emotions filled with tears and ofcourse too many things..The ppl who will first and foremost be missing the whole drama as it reached the end,are the news channels whose breaking news scrolls where always filled with this news.
Atleast i had too much of fun during this IPL melodrama, tracking it from day 1 to the end, infact i was determined to avoid this before it got started off seeing too much hype on channels, on roads with banners and traffic as bangalore was the center stage for inaugaration.I should say because of this i came to know about too many players , started supporting ppl impartially without any geographical reasons, just based upon their real talent, attitude.
I had come to know about the over talked conterversies, the arrogance of shane,belligerence of symonds, nile biting tensions on dhoni's face, stupid fun of sreeshanth, coolness of shaun pollock.
but the whole fun is different here, its not the same game when all the ppl sitting at home used to support OUR country and pray for the rains though players themselves are least concerned about their performances and celebrate together when the team wins. Now its my dad on one side, me on the opposite side, when one is praying for the team to strike six and other same person sitting next to u pray for a wicket, at the end there is no celebration all together :( which used to be my best part in watching cricket.
Good or bad , it has hit the chords of hard core cric fans and their attitudes which is cashed properly proving that indians can make the best business men in the world.
