Get Over the Cliches, Already!

Expectations were soaring high what with the fourth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) that was to come this summer. With the league stage of the tournament now completed , the viewers are left, sadly, asking for more. As match after match drones on , the monotony is getting fairly obvious.
The tournament is now lacklustre. And are we missing Lalit Modi's charm ? Yes. We are.



To add to this is that the commentary [ Which is the only reason I prefer IPL on mute these days ] - which is going steadily downhill. As every six becomes a "DLF - Maximum " and every catch a " Karbonn Kamaal Catch" , the predictablity of the commentators increases. If a batsman takes a single after a couple of hits into the stands its " Sensible Cricket " and obviously ,Tendulkar and Ganguly can do no wrong. Sadly enough even Harsha Bhogle has lost his class(not to mention logic ) , Danny Morrison keeps thinking that he'll get extra points for screaming louder and Navjot Singh Siddhu ...well... lets not even get there.

Just when I thought it was quite over, Picture this : Harsha Bhogle , Robin Jackman and Ravi Shastri having an in-depth conversation about the pros and cons of twitter. Yes, twitter!
Sigh, Maybe the cricket wasnt quite interesting enough?
