The Great Cricket Tamasha - DLF IPL

The cricket tamasha that is going on in India appears to have replaced religion. It has helped the
government in diverting the attention of the people from the spiralling price rise of all essential
commodities. Almost all TV channels are engaged in conveying news of Bhajji's slapping antics
and his punishment - to be or not to be. If to be than how much and to what length. All other games have been pushed to the sideline. There are very few sponsors for games where our
sportsmen have achieved international fame. The amount of money Ronaldo earns in a year is
more than the total amount spent by the government in all sporting events in our country, except cricket which has a separate governing body. So we should all play cticket only.
