another reason to hate ipl...

shared by straight point on Saturday, March 13, 2010

i came across this article of dilip premchandran... IPL fortunes threaten to lay waste to Bangladesh's potential stars... the premise of his article is summed up as...

The money to be made from the 20-over format may send the best players in Bangladesh the same way as the faltering Mohammad Ashraful

for a change i tend to agree with dilip here... its another reason to hate ipl...

even my black labrador buddy, pogo, hates ipl like nobody's business (the phrase picked up from shahid afridi's secret diary) coz ever since ipl has started... pogo has this grudge against me that i am not taking him enough to stroll down the lanes he was very fond of...

haah! SP, forget the walk, give Pogo a chance and he'll piss on the tv

i can't take chances nc... that's why o don't take him to stroll... you know what will happen if he meets modi...

but jokes apart... i feel like puking at this recycled shit when everything is blamed on ipl...

Som said...

Cricket seems to have gone compltely to Pogos, SP. Tsk, tsk.

namya said...

SP,

Pogo really seems to be leading a do g's life :)

I hope you don't resemble Modi from any angle; )

straight point said...

som... i dare say cricket writing from so called famed 'experts'... :)

i really wonder whether they even enjoy writing this shit... they have become slaves of their boss's line of thinking...

straight point said...

now now namya... i must look at myself with fresh perspective... ;D

It's baking hot in Chennai. Shall we blame the IPL?

straight point said...

welcome VM... nice to see yoy after a while...

no please go on and blame it on ipl... you never know a renowned publication might just hire you for your expert cricketing insights... :)

Dileep is quite flexible. He will diss IPL on guardian, and write a semi-accepting-IPL article on cricinfo. If Lalit could spare a little change from his pocket, we can get a gushing article on IPL, I guess.

Anil Singh said...

whatever experts say; including your Pogo; all the matches so far were exceptional without exception.

straight point said...

welcome premith at sp hope you will keep dropping by...

exactly... bowing down the 'line of thinking' of where its getting published is getting far more important... ultimately you get the moolah from them...

straight point said...

ab... you have seems to completely missed the sarcasm here...

the pogo is just the symbol of 'blame anything evil on ipl' theory prevalent in experts write ups these days...

so tomorrow if your computer crashes... you know whom to blame...

Anil Singh said...

So POGO doesn't exist in real; anyway, good that I called it an expert. :)

Linguistic trickery get me overwhelmed most times.

straight point said...

pogo does exists anil... he is my buddy labrador... it's his grudge that is symbolic... :)

Anil Singh said...

Ok, let I blame my ignorance to IPL. :)
