Dual sponsorship move in IPL draws criticism
The IPL now allows dual sponsorship.
What this means is that teams can now have different sponsors for their home and away games.
What next?
Home and away captains?
The move is a ploy to help teams earn additional revenue.
Soccer teams wear different coloured jerseys for home and away ties.
But different sponsors?
Is the colour of money different when home or away?
Existing sponsors are displeased.
New sponsors might come in only at the expense of current ones. The rumblings against the ad-hoc running of the Indian Premier League resound higher.
The BCCI sure believes that they have to be first—in everything. From the sublime to the ridiculous.

That the Indian team was given a replica instead of the Real trophy was good enough reason to cobble together a band of experts for an hour-long discussion on the Times Of India news channel—at prime time.
It didn’t matter that the replica was a genuine one, albeit usually unveiled for promotional purposes.

There’s more trouble brewing for the BCCI’s cash-cow, the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The IPL has been mired in controversies over the past year.
The Twitter spat between Lalit Modi and Shashi Tharoor was the spark that triggered a conflagration of sorts; IPL shenanigans were tabled on the floor of Parliament. Media darling, Tharoor, was forced to resign from his position of Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
Cricket World Cup 2011:Team India are champions of the world
“We are the champions – my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions of the World”
Freddie Mercury’s lyrics may seem trite and overused. Yet they never fail to send out the right message.
Team India are champions of the world.
Nothing and no one can take that away from Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his boys.
Poonam Pandey makes it big riding piggyback on Team India
One thing’s for certain.
We all know who Poonam Pandey is—now.
She’s that little known Kingfisher model who promised to strip nude if Team India won the World Cup.
I’m a serious kind of bloke and it got me wondering immediately why would Ms Pandey want to do this. And just who Poonam Pandey was.
Is she one of those Page 10 celebrities who frequent Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meets? A relapsed alcoholic? That would explain it.
No, you idiot, it’s the free publicity.
Twitter timeline tells a story: Sreesanth’s
Team India has made the final.
Team India may and should win.
However, in all the hype and hoopla and maybe premature celebration, spare a thought for a man who despite being in the 15 finds himself on the sidelines after just one bad game.
ShantaKumara Sreesanth could very well have been the wicket-taking bowler this Indian side craved. His recent exploits in South Africa were soon forgotten.
His suspect temperament relegated his other virtues to the background.
A peek at his Twitter timeline over the past week tells a story:
