IPL player speaks his mind yet again on a match day. He indicates DADA would be playing and opening the batting. He also says he is fumed with the "fixing of the game". That is the test matches being the original game and the timelines reduced from 5 days to 3.5 hour game.
" I want to ask you, why fix matches when you can fix the game? You take a 5-day game, make it into a day game, and then further shorten it to a 3.5 hour game. Throw in scantily dressed dancers, cleavage-showing anchors, beauty contests, dumb ass commentators with stupid jokes. And some seriously good competitive cricketers. And you have a magic potion that can hypnotise 200 Million people for 4 hours every day for more than a month. That 200 Million population has more money in their hands than any betting syndicate in the world. The game's about your time and your money. On the issue of fixed matches, having seen guys like Aila, Sheikh, Lordie, Priest, Deewar from fairly close quarters now, I can tell you that no amount of money can lure them to lose a match intentionally."
Priest -- ??
Sheikh is Warne
Deewar is Rahul
Lordie is Saurav
Aila is Sachin Tendulkar
Finally he gets some whiff of election process and speaks like a politician. Puts up a poll whether to disclose his identity or not. Elections can make a leader out of a player too. Too much of election diaspora poured out by TV this days.
In the end he puts up a word on the way IPL is being run.
One, many of you have questioned the ethicality of this blog, given that I am being paid by Dildo. I don't think so. Dildo's not paying me or anyone else. We are being paid by the 200 Million Indians who are following this tournament. Everybody who has put in money - the tournament organisers, TV channels, team owners etc. - sell rights and properties to brands and earn big profits. The brands, who have already paid millions, put in a few millions more and advertise on every inch they can lay their hands on. Eventually, all you guys who have spent 4-8 hours in front of your TV watching a little bit of cricket and a lot of advertisements go out to the market and purchase the colas, the mobile phones, the clothes, and the potato chips that you didn't really need. And that's how brands make their profit - from every rupee of your hard earned money that you spend on them. So, my friends, Dildo's not paying me. If there's anyone who's paying me, it's you. It's my duty to entertain you. And I am doing the best I can, with the limited talent I have at my disposal.
He is turning to a saint this days, i feel.
