Indian Premier League III - the first week

A week into the IPL and my comments:
I did well to sleep away during the opening ceremony. Surely we could do something different than laser lights and bollywood dances - don't we have the Filmfare awards nite for such dances? Enough of Bollywood in the IPL. For Cricket's sake, its not Bollywood Premier League. Soon we will have one of these two outcomes - either Lalit Modi will replace Kajol in the next Karan Johar and "whose name is Khan" blockbuster or someone will make a bollywood movie on IPL financed by Nita Ambani of course. Worse, we could have both. Long Live Boolywood and its league of Heroes ...i mean heroines !!
And someone please do something about Ravi Shastri's yelling.
A great opening game which should be investigated for match fixing of course. Gilchrist kept hitting the ball in the sky without being caught and just as he was sure he wouldn't be caught, it happened. No wonder, he had the look of "hey I thought you guys agreed not to catch me" look on his face as he walked off. Never seen Laxman clear his left foot and hit a 6 over long on and Rohit Sharma has a good future in Tennis if he wants an alternative career. What a forehand shot that was !!
Now we have ads between balls..(.i mean between two cricketing deliveries you morons !!!). I was afraid of that and finally it has happened. I wonder who is buying Karbonn mobile phones after listening to Akshay Kumar's laughter (the other laughter champion is Rahul Mahajan) after every delivery. One reason why no-balls and wides have become horrifying for the viewers. God bless the person who invented the mute button on the remote.
As for the security, can anyone explain how a dog ran into the middle of the ground during the Deccan Chennai match?. I hope dogs have to undergo security check before entering the stadium- what about the risk of someone putting a kilo of RDX in the belly or something like that ? Oh, this incident happened twice during the match and the second time around it was not not a dog but a bitch (this proves how closely i watch cricket).
