[...] Like Sonu Nigam’s misery. Last in the news for having been the subject of same-sex proposals from a Bollywood reviewer (not me), which resulted in what Sonu called “Sonu-spanking”, he was, a few months ago, forcibly kissed [image courtesy desihits] and also scratched by a female admirer in a manner reminiscent of the way Ricky Ponting was smooched by a man during a bat auction, an action that some believe led him to lose his cricketing Mo-Jo.

Look at the scoreboard, creeps. You LOST the Test. LOST, LOST LOST.
The pajama game was just the summer filler. But it was touching how important it seemed to be to you all.
Honest, you guys are like old, poor, but normally quiet neighbours who have lately come across a few quid. So with your new good fortune you’ve got on the piss and played your music loud. A couple of the family’s normally quiet and polite boys have gotten shit-faced and then wanted to swear at and fight everyone.
Many of you have behaved like noisy galahs. Totally out of character. Everyone’s puzzled. You mean those nice quiet people were always like this, underneath? Ugly when you lose, ugly when you win and braggarts all the time? The UGLY INDIAN has arrived. Glad you’ve gone. Really.

g.b.:

‘Caller: I have only one thing to say sir.

In our country, there is a line which I would like to dedicate to Cricket Australia, the Australian media and most certainly Ponting, Hayden and Symonds.’

i thought the caller would’ve gone: “live from kolkata, it is saturday night!”

snl’s loss is blogdom’s gain. good one, g.b.!

@deep3rdman

to be fair to greatbong , his criticism of chappell was primarily the way at which ganguly was sent off.Chappell gave some rather immature comments to the media about dada which was nothing short of slander.Even though i feel greatbong sometimes loses it when he is writing about dada, most of his criticism of chappell was justified given chappell’s behaviour.i was hoping for a great final ODI treat from dada, but sach and the kids more than made up for it.

@yourfan, @sid: Agree completely. It is amusing to see the British and Aussie journalists bitching and moaning about IPL destroying cricket as they know it. Well, so bloody what? When 80% of the market is in India, organisers will show what the Indian public wants to see, not what the Tim de Lisle’s and Christopher Martin-Jenkins think is right for the game.

Another point you missed in that de Lisle article. He said something like “so much money should not be going out of a poor country like India to the pockets of foreign players”. Well you know what Tim? Much more than that is going out of India to the coffers of ICC and all the other foreign boards currently because of the way international cricket is structured. Whenever Indian team goes and plays in Australia or in World Cup, we Indians are contributing to the coffers of Cricket Australia and ICC. Whereas, with IPL, most of the money generated stays in India. That is as good a reason as any for us to support IPL over international cricket.
