Xtra Innings...

Today i saw an ad on tv with Mandira Bedi in her 'babe' persona saying 'Watching cricket with me is different..' (imagine attempts at sauciness oozing out of your screen). Very true. Apparently, more women are watching cricket than ever before. Which is strange considering the amount of hue and cry the spagetti top evoked. But the show is evil (to paraphrase Georgie boy) and Navjot Singh Sidhu makes it worse. The pro-India bent is embarassing. Discussing how India will fare in a match 2 weeks from now is bad, discussing the same 20 minutes before Australia play West Indies is worse. Even the numerologists and tarot card readers say 'Today I think I will support India' even before their cards or numbers have spoken (or do what they.. erm.. do). And Rohit Roy who considers himself an expert just cause he's played gulli cricket adds to the gallery of dumbfucks who host the show. The number of experts is always out numbered by the number of hosts. Everything smarter people say is drowned out by Sidhu's long distance call bellowing.
We are generally an intelligent cricket watching public and we deserve better. Otherwise any discussion on cricket is bound to be dominated by 'Did you see Mandira's sari today?'
