Sun TV Cricket aka Kalakkal Cricket
Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008 at 10:51 amThanks we didn’t miss to watch this yesterday or else there will be no need for this funny post. What if ICC comes forward to deal with this
– saying the word ‘cricket’ suffixed to this game is not at all right! Its injustice to Cricket which is played ‘LIKE’ a national game in India
Anyway look at the pictures – it doesn’t look like played in an outdoor stadium and it looks like a basket ball court…yes there is a basket somewhere high & if you place the ball in it, you get 15 runs!!! There is really no need to run – all you need to do is to position your hit to the appropriate wall heights and you will gets 2’s 4’s 6’s
I was just reminded about my childhood cricket played in our backyard where we would lay rules like this & also – if the ball goes out of your house – you are out… one pitch catch is out… ball hits the ceiling(when you play in your garage) you are out…Its all seen in this cricket as well!!
Especially with the episode(yeah it looks like a mega-serial) that I saw yesterday, I should talk about the commentators. Their technical part was fine but the other part of it was just loose talks. Its the stars Vs a real cricket team and now you must have guessed one of the the commentator was an actor who was Mohanram.
In spite of the funny rules, it was nice to see Tinku & Balaji playing the game seriously. Harsha’s wicket-keeping was so pathetic(like his compering in Mastana – Mastana) and I think Balaji already blasted at him when he threw the ball to the incorrect side of the stumps for attempting a run-out.
Finally it was good that IDS Tigers(the real cricket team) won the match.
