Don’t ask tha silly questions man

Again and again peepal have started asking me… “Commisioner saab.. how will the IPL benefit peepal?”

I say it is also creating jobs for people who would otherwise be unemployed or underemployed. Take Charu Sharma… I mean the only job he had was conducting that horrible show on Doordarshan. Look at him now… working with Mallya, selecting teams, playing selector, free tickets and all… would all this have happened if it were not for the IPL? Tell me !! Have you seen the new video of the Royal C’s where Charu Sharma is exhorting his troops?

Kris Srikkant is brand ambassador for the Chennai Sooper Kings…Seenu is paying him quite well. Only thing is that uniform looks like a Pyjama on Cheeka…

So before you point fingers and talk all rubbish, please think of these fellows… the trainers, coaches, managers etc etc

P.S: As I am writing this post, there is some disturbing news that some of the Punjab Kings players have been asked to leave the hotel so that Preity Zinta’s friends can stay there….

Sour Grapes

I just wish Javed Miandad would disappear. The guy keeps cribbing about everything. Now hes saying that IPL sucks etc etc.. Hey guru we dont need to be told that…

Anyway what are you cribbing about? No one offered you a job? My guess is that they are afraid of your “relation” by marriage to a certain underworld don. Maybe he could have bought a team for you.

Anyway dont thing we can use you here. Why dont you see if you can start a league in Dubai? Maybe a tennis ball game? They do have cricket teams there… you and 5 other people can watch.

Just go away.

And Wasim Akram has echoed his sentiments as well. This boy I tell you… we looked after him so well.. now he comes back and bites us.. who do you think got him that commentary deal? Shaz and Vaz etc…Well time to pull the plug I think.

15 Minutes of Fame

People said that the IPL opening ceremony was our 15 minutes of fame. So Pawarji and the rest of the BCCI folk decided to speak 15 minutes each. For that we got booed.

I feel this treatment is totally not deserved. Pawarji was so upset that he refused to drink a cup of tea. I also refused tea and had beer instead.

This English is a funny language.

In the meantime, several people are commenting on how the cameras keep focussing on the celebreties in the stands… well people you have to live with it… though I am upset that the TV guys keep prefering Preity Zinta to high officials from the BCCI… that is totally not correct. I mean come one… Pawarji is quite photogenic (in his own way). Anyway next match we will sit with SRK and keep waving.
