blog on a blog

fake ipl player blog is the main attraction of ipl season 2. There have been some close matches and there have been some goof ups , good cricket and pedestrian cricket. Politics and megalomania have been always associated with cricket since that fine lords summer evening in 83. But web 2.0 has unleashed some very intriguing prospects in cricket.
i am sure you must have heard of IPL fake player blog (fakeiplplayer.blogspot.com) if not followed it. Out of curiosity and gullibilty of a normal cricket fan, i latched on to it and have turned into a loyal follower. cant wait for the next post.
Guy claims to be a team member of maligned KKR unit. His basic fodder revolves around fight between KKR management ( shah rukh , buchanan) and dada ( bengal cult figure). Then the next theme revolves around night life of cricketers (an angle not much explored though many have guessed to be existant since that same evening in 83). He has penchant of naming the crcikerts and officials by innovative names. has good literary skills.
this guy cannot be a cricketer. he is some bengali cricket reporter who has sources within the circle. as his only motto revolves around ganguly. the events referred seem extrapolated as someone with common intelligence and some basic study can write about the events described.
the angle most intriguing is about the power of web 2.0 which can open inside views in many fields apart from cricket. wait for some more interesting blogs ...
