Slap and sack
The cricket commercial lottery called IPL roulette has ended up creating two camps; fence sitters can keep sitting uncomfortably perched on those long logs with thick sharp nails penetrating the soft skin of their ample posteriors. Strictly not recommended. The first lot is called the Modi-Moolah-Mania group which currently hogs the limelight, seemingly running on the high adrenalin of having survived the crucial first half of the sweltering calendar, with reasonable reasons to believe that they have pulled off a terrific coup.

The normally placid crowd of Jaipur booed the Kerala boy with sadistic delight, even as a visibly distraught Sreesanth tried to quickly recapture composure. Elsewhere, Rahul Dravid felt in alien land inhabited by unreceptive hosts as his straight drive for a classy boundary was met with a deafening silence by the supporters of Mumbai Indians at Wankhede. At the end of the match, Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar had a quick....
