Is Writer Fatigue the reason for staid cricketing copy? (Satire)
The Cricket Writers Association of India (CWAI) are up in arms.
The premier union of sports writers has written to the BCCI regarding the hectic Indian cricket calendar this year .
Beginning with the Ashes and the India-South Africa tour, followed by the World Cup and now the IPL, it has been one form of cricket followed by the other, with nary a break.
“What about the helpless journos?” cries CWAI president, Wicketless Witter.
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.
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.
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:
Cricket World Cup 2011: Afterthoughts on the India-Pakistan semi-final
The much awaited, much hyped, Mother Of All Games between sub-continental giants—India and Pakistan—is finally behind us.
India won, Pakistan lost.
Indian fans will celebrate.
Pakistani fans will mourn.
Another sub-continental giant—Sri Lanka—await the men in blue on Saturday, the 2nd of April, 2011 in Mumbai.
Despite it sounding like a cliché on a stuck record, can Team India do it for Sachin Tendulkar?
