Is cric full of business or biz full of cricket?

Indian Premier League (IPL) - highly talked about cricket festival is turning out as another eye opener. Politicians, top businessman, underworld, sportsman and police officers have been accused of running this cricket industry. Sources say whenever any volcano is about to erupt, these powerful people use their magic wands and do everything ranging from transferring people to offer them higher positions and to add further, offering them bribe and thereby maintain their tiny dirty secret.

The excitement viewers and fans offer is nothing more than a business deal for these match fixers. You will not only be surprised to know the fact that all the matches you thought were crispy and twisty were in fact some frozen food being served to you hot. I know it's really heart breaking to be cheated this way by people we considered to be stars; but our stars are saying that they play for BCCI. So is BCCI all messed up just for money and is the perceived national game of India all about money?

Whatever crap they offer on being questioned, shit will be shit and certainly we are not going to take anyone's shit. If cricket is all about bookies playing a game, what role are cricketers sticking to? Booking bookies a hotel room or a front seat in stadium. I believe that we have Bollywood which is pretty enough for the fixed action and drama we love and we don't want our country's sports especially cricket to be synonymous to such predetermined actions. We want real time highs and lows. Losing a match is acceptable to us, the Indians, but winning a fixed match is not at all palpable.

This mystery of who is/was involved seems will not be solved so easily. Looks like cricket got clean bowled in “ a national sport” category but played a fair century for “a national business” title.

Jai Ho.
