Conspiracy theories of the game

After Searching the net on the burning issue that is on the mind of every indian, i thought that rather than posting a few lines on different sites ,i should rather start my own blog to condemn something i had ,only a few days ago,waited so eagerly to begin.
The Indian premier league aptly termed as the indian Paisa league has turned out to be a great entertainer ,however the off field antics of players have been much in discussion rather their in field bowling and Batting.
The so called respectable scores are contributed by the Foriegn merceniries that Mr. Modi so wisely decided to add to the league other wise the maximum score on the field on any given day wouldn't have touched a three digit number .

The only digits that are seen here are the seven figure packages of the indian players and the mounting loses that the franchises are acummalating each day.
Insider reports from various news channels dont fail to point out how ticket prices are bieng slashed to bring the public in.

No wonder that stadiums suddenly become full after the first innings when the ticket prices are the least . When Kolkatta knight riders lost their first match after an undefeated run,I wondered what the betting world had to say regarding this strange turn of events. Until a few days ago IPL organisers who were so valiantly defending the 1000 crore Rs a match buissness went quiet suddenly.I am sure most of the betting was done for the sharukh team to win and it would have made a great conspiracy theory about the franchisee owners selling of their team's win for a few hundered crores to compensate for the losses which have gone in to marketing and manufacturing merchandise that is just accumalating dust on shelfs.

Speaking of conspiracy theories ,i would love to mention the Harbhajan Srisanth case.First things first the match was over and what ever bhajji did on the field was purely his buissness. His work time was finished which means he was off duty .So the question of slapping him with a ban and a penalty was out of the question.Secondly sreesanth is no saint and i am sure he had done enough to provoke bhajji who slapped him.
It was seen that Mr.engineer was celebrating with MS Zinta and it could be anybodies guess with whom his loyalties lie .I really cant say why only bhajji was fined. Maybe it was because of Ms. Zintas charm that made Mr. engineer take such a wise decision.
Saurabh Ganguly is another person who has been targeted in this IPL . Till now everybody who talked about Shane Warne taking initiative and bieng a leader are talking about his past rendezvous. A spirit of national integration has swept in favour of Mr. Ganguly who actually saw the catch touch the ground while running for a run .What a spoil Sport.It is strange that a TV replay where i could see that it was a clear catch was given a not out while Mr.warne argued with the empire. The indian empire who was a spineless blob, instead of referring to the second empire went for the third empire. I wonder if the second empire would have agreed with Mr. ganguly's outrage.
No wonder his whole team got out before they could even finish their 20 overs.What a looser Ganguly is .We all know what Mr. Gul said .We perfectly understand what he meant by saying "he is not perfect for one day cricket." One will never see Sachin conducting in such a manner and this makes him a Batsman par comparision.
The money makes the league go around and it seems that the board has made an ideal example of Bhajji who was not only slapped with a 11 match ban but lost in the tune of 3 crores. I think he should get a guiness record for the worlds costliest slap.
It reminded me of the dialogue from the movie karma when Dr. Dang tell the cop that he was going to make the noise of the slap "is thappad ki goonj suni tumne, yeh goonj yaad rakhna".I wondered which of the channels are going to use this exclusive footage and the winner was ofcoarse India TV .A channel obsessed with unmasking Sabu aka Khali .
I think they devote one hour daily in his pilgrimage and even made trip to the states to show us his loo.
Now now ,I am deviating from the topic and the topic is cricket.I wondered if KPS Gill was to become the director of IPL . He would have made sure that justice was done and all the money was duly deposited in his and his aides accounts .I am forgetting the name of that guy .What a looser couldn't make out that it was all a sham to con him.I mean who on the bloody earth would try to organise a hockey tournament on the lines of IPL and pay Whos name i dont remember two lakh rupees .
It is a good thing IOC disbanded the IHF .Now Mr.Gill can go peacefully ,his work on this planet is done.
This brings a question to my mind "Does shooting criminals really kill something inside you that is irrepairable ."
Duh i lost sight of the indain paisa league once again . Yesterday i heard Mr . Mallaya wanting to change his team .He has approached the IPL for the same.I wonder where the josh of the Royal challengers has gone.Maybe the free supply of liqour is taking its toll on the team.It is worth noticing how all the RC players look dazed when they come down to play .It is a heady mix of cheer leader hanging around your arms ,Booze flowing like water .One Miss Kaif cheering for you.
It would be a miracle only if they manage to win two games, both of them because the other team played so badly that they deserved to loose even more.
I wonder how much loss MR. Malaya is going to bear ,the strain of which is already showing on his face after each match.It seems the man has stopped smiling.

ONe thing that the IPL has made me realize is that these franchisees are not Demi gods. They can be beaten at their own game which is buissness. Most of them now associate it with prestige but i think it is just another way of showing a brave face to the mounting looses .
I wonder when this great tammasha ends and the results come in finally we might see Shane warne lifting the cup defeating the chennai super kings. Oh yes SRK ofcourse will say " Garibo,Loot gao Hayo ray"
