A load of crap from an idle brain

Playing around with the look of my blog.  That’s what you do when you have nothing better to do.  

Deccan Chargers crashed out of the T20 Champions Trophy and i hardly watched even a single match of the tournament.  Ended up wondering why the hell are they playing.  Read some news that the TRPs of the T20 Champions Trophy are worse than the other Champions Trophy played recently in South Africa.

With so many Champions Trophies in a single sport, no wonder the people are disinterested.  Read Pritish Nandy’s tweet where he predicted that cricket is on a decline as a sport as money has corrupted it.  But then, the self professed God of cricket, Lalit Modi has some other plans.  He plans to have 2 IPLs in a year, 3 Champs leagues, 4 world cups and if possible a few more matches here and there.   Not that i care.  Fortunately for me, once i left India, i left the craze for cricket behind too.  Earlier used to subscribe to sports channels to watch them.  Now, even with tons of websites doing free streaming of all TV channels, i still dont bother watching them.

With Diwali around, 3 big movies are releasing in Hindi.  I might finally drag my sorry ass to some multiplex and watch one of them.  Which one of them is something that will depend on my mood at that particular moment.

Mr & Mrs Khanna surely wont be the one i will spend my money on.  Who in the right frame of mind wants to see 2 constipated faces (Salman and Sohail) on the screen after having paid so much money?

2 years ago, Twenty-20 was a novelty. No one had a clue about India’s strengths and weakness in the game.  The young team led by MS Dhoni won the inaugural twenty-20 world cup at South Africa.

Two editions of IPL later, all the players in the Indian team are under the radar of the opposition’s think tanks.  They are sure to have made their own plans on how to counter Yuvraj, Yusuf Pathan, Rohit Sharma, Gambhir, Sehwag, Dhoni, Raina etc…

Its precisely why, this Twenty-20 World Cup at England will be the acid test for Dhoni and his men.  For Dhoni, its time to prove that his previous victory was not a fluke and that luck always plays a big factor in his victories.

India opens its schedule with a game against Bangladesh on Saturday (6 June).   There is just 7 victories between any team and the World Cup.

So, kya yeh cup kahin nahin jaayega?  Well, time will tell.  Meanwhile, am sure i dont need to specify which team Iam cheering for
