The witless entertainment doesn’t undermine the fact that the tournament saw some intense competition. We all can have a lot to carp about – Morrison’s buffoonery, Mandira’s clueless-ness, Modi’s pompousness, and much more – but the cricketing portion is certainly not one of them.

And neither is fakeiplplayer.

Yenjie, during the week the stands were quite often empty and the cameramen were told not to show it, this ofcourse fell apart in the last week of the tournament when one of the games had less than 10% of the ground full and they had to show stands empty. Out of focus camera was that fucking useless fly cam, which in every sport I have seen it used, continues to show me how fucken useless it is as a piece of technology. Camp comedy? Morrison, the pitch reports, the ‘fake tension’, that wasn’t camp? And yes you have got me, I am just jealous that Australia couldn’t organise a tournament like this, it has always been my dream for Australia to run a competition that Akon closes up, but you Indians, and your chutzpah, have ruined me. Come on mate, let’s get real here, if Australia put on a tournament, and there were things I didn’t like, would i hold back? And yes there was some good cricket, and some shit cricket, and some boring cricket, and there was alot of all 3. Too much 2020, no matter who is playing or organising, is just too much.

Sachintha, it does not matter whether he is in the Ashes squad or not, comparing the IPL to a real cricket tournament sums up two things: the man is a drunken idiot and the man is a drunken idiot with a memory problem. The IPL is painful to watch in its present format, unless you are not interested in cricket

[...] days of frenetic, action packed, monotonous overkill of T20 cricket, the IPL has drawn to a close. Some of my friends in the blogosphere have reviewed the IPL to the best possible extent. I will just [...]

The closing ceremony was a clusterfuck of epic proportions. From Akon’s lipsynching to the beauty contest to Kat’s atrocious dancing (with full clothes on!!) to the fucktard Shiamak Dawar singing, the event felt like mass of people farting at one go in your faces. To top it off we had Ravi Shastri’s gassing for dessert. All the good work of the tremendous final undone.

someone tweeted this. Modi is not the Don of cricket, neither is he the King of cricket, he is the DON KING of cricket. LOL

Enjoy your humor, but don’t get the patronizing attitude sometimes – empty stands? out of focus cameras? staged, camp comedy tournament? Seriously? Surely not the torunament I watched. Aussies and Poms seriously need to get over the painfully obvious regret that y’all have neither the chutzpah nor even the money anymore to organize something like this on this grand scale. Ya, it is Cecil B. DeMille, but what is wrong with that? DeMille was just Bollywod before his time. The cricket’s good isn’t it?
