the Fake IPL Player

Man..am I glad that this Fake IPL Player is here! I have never been a big cricket fan except in my adolescent days (when I could be for given for not having known any better). Now after being with a cricket fanatic for 8 years (and being a cricket-widow for the past three years), it takes humongous amounts of patience on my part not to scream when I see Youvraj Singh and Co..and then as if the over-dose was not enough, there comes IPL. That's why I have welcomed the Fake IPL Player's blog with open arms. In a country given to worshipping false gods, especially those of the cricketing varieties, the blog comes as a breath of fresh air. At least here's no sycophancy, journalists out to prove how the cricketing lions are actually genteel souls wrapped in the clothing of megabucks. Even if 10% of what gets written there is true (am assuming that the fake IPL player is actually a fake IPL player, and the 90% comes from that kind of imagination on which Stardust runs), it will do well to weaken, if not entirely demolish the mythical proportions to which a bunch of over-hyped men in blue are raised.

atleast we are spared the horror of listening to the tarot card readers views of what the "weeping lady card" means for the day's match.
