How can you get into a cricket match if every time an over ends or a wicket falls or the batsman farts causing a small break in play you have to change the channel to avoid having your brain melted by some **** trying to sell you insurance for the 120th time. It's awful. How do so many people manage to watch this? Do you not all have nightmares about Ravi Shastri taking you out back for a DLF maximum? This is the single worst sporting entertainment product I have ever seen, bar none. It's probably making God cry as we speak.We have to endure only the 30 secs in between. How'd you Irish watch your guys in between them?
TBF, It's just time to browse other channels.

So this is the first IPL match you've ever seen?
If so, you're in a pretty small minority saying its a poor sporting spectacle.
This IPL has been awesome so far.
Ads during the over have been tough getting used to no doubt. But your complaints are about the quality of the ads. Hardly cricket's fault.

Sophistication is unfortunately at a price in this money **** fest. Earlier they used to spare atleast the cricket in between now we have ads in between deliveries within an over which is just crossing the final line. But since people won't stop watching IPL because of ads, and worse, since the TV guys themselves are aware of this, nothing's going to improve on that front. The proverbial golden goose is apparently one heck of a superduck.How can you get into a cricket match if every time an over ends or a wicket falls or the batsman farts causing a small break in play you have to change the channel to avoid having your brain melted by some **** trying to sell you insurance for the 120th time.

It's really not much different to watching US sports. Guess we're lucky in the UK in that we don't get such blatant commercialism.How can you get into a cricket match if every time an over ends or a wicket falls or the batsman farts causing a small break in play you have to change the channel to avoid having your brain melted by some **** trying to sell you insurance for the 120th time.

Lumb's not a bad player. He looked pretty terrible today, but he's a much better player than he showed. He had a brilliant season last year for Hampshire, scoring a T20 century, and also played well for the England Lions in the tour of the UAE. Hopefully he'll get another chance to show what he can do, I like Lumb a lot.
Not heard anything about him for months, since Pont said he'd done a runner. Would have liked to have seen him bowl.

:O Forget the cliched story about a C grade movie actress with nothing to speak of except a hour glass image making it big just because someone called her a poppadom. I just hate her fake smile. I would watch Nita Ambani for grace and carry or Priety for spunk. Heck, I'd watch Govinda dance for hours instead of this lady. The way she garbed her disinterest in the proceedings with at-the-flick-of-a-switch smile, when she felt the camera on her was so grating on the nerves.

True. Her smile really irritates.

Kumble getting someone to plug his book for him during the game. I love the IPL.
