Reaction to scantily clad cheerleaders at Cricket match reveals rift within Indian society.

Look, if you can disturb an Uzbekh cheerleader, you need to step back, a'ight?

Although I am amused at the fact they have cheerleaders at a cricket match, but not surprised. Those things are deathly dull.

Ah India, divided to the bone as always.

While I was in India there was a gallery that was stormed and some post-modern art burned by a group of Rajputs who were upset by its vile and sexual use of goddess images. The images of the goddess in question were, in fact, very sexual. They were also based very closely off of 1600 year old statues going back to the early days of the temple worship of these goddesses. But because they were done in a non-bhakti style, they were THE EVIL.

On the same day in Chennai there was a sex worker's union parade down the street where a good chunk of the women were topless. The number one movie in the theaters was Don, which includes a very sexy dance sequence. And Angelina Jolie was greeted in Delhi and called "the perfect modern woman."

Or that they were in an art gallery, and not a temple.

Cheerleaders? For cricket? I'm impressed at their stamina; those games can last quite a while!

Deathly dull? Au contraire! It's a wonderful, strategic, and often quite tense game.

A "50 Over" one-day match is day long, sure. Bringing a picnic basket and sitting out on the grass, watching a game? Delightful.

Most teams (schools, etc) play "20 Over" ... and it's about as long as a baseball game (or shorter, if you're not very good).

I will concur, however, that "Test" cricket is a bit of an endurance match.

Well this whole India Premiere League thing really has very little to do with cricket. It's all about show, I mean the kicked it off with a gigantic Bollywood-style dance/song performance that'd put the Super Bowl halftime show to shame! It's all about the $$$.
