The biggest conspiracy theory ever...

I have been wanting to make a conspiracy theory ever since i saw the first one- something about 'there's no such thing as global warming, everything is a hoax'... it was interesting and had enough proof to make it sound real.
    This is not something i particularly enjoy, but i wanted to write about something less personal, something less narcissistic... and the first thing that came to my mind is the only thing that shouldn't be occupying my mind at present. And therefore, it is not project presentation, nor the university exams...

Like the thousands who have already passed through here before, you too have guessed it...
maybe if you are lucky, you might even be the first of those thousands.(not 2 hav guessed it, but to have come this way)
Anyway, you guessed it right- it is the INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE!!!
and i have been particularly interested in the fortunes of RCB, whose roller coaster ride has lend much spice to my evenings. Being the most faithful fan of a team that was initially labeled as a test team wasn't easy, but fortunately for me, the team has improved and now boasts of one of the better batting line ups in the league.

But my intention is not to write about my passion for the game, the idea is to bring your attention to the business ends(take literal meaning) of the game.

Does anyone of you remember the last one day world cup?

No, not the one where Sachin brought India, almost single handedly to the finals, only to be defeated by the best one day team ever.
There was one after that- the 2007 world cup. And do you remember the story?

India and Pakistan were eliminated in the first round of that tournament, which arguably was the worst-organized tournament ever. The tournament just dragged on endlessly to the discomfort of all those who were trying to forget the Indian debacle.
Add to it some action- Bob Woomer, the Pak coach was found dead in unnatural circumstances, but was later declared to be dead of natural causes.
And finally, the tournament ended as it began - in a rain curtailed match, where some belligerent hitting by Gilchrist proved to be the lone bright spot. And, the bookies got it right again- Aussies romped home easily.

and for the first time in my life, i almost hated cricket(even match fixing row hadn't done that)

and then T20 came out of nowhere and India wins the cup in a fairy tail story where the final was with the arch rivals Pakistan... and suddenly there was life in cricket again.
and then IPL came... and everything just looked too good to be true.

    Can anyone have thought of a better entry for IPL??? I'm not saying somebody planned it to the minutest detail,  I'm not saying Bob was murdered for trying to reveal a dirty secret, I'm not saying that India losing to Bangladesh was preplanned,but i felt things looked too good to be accidental.

And by the way, did you know that as a student at Duke University,USA in 1985, Lalit Modi was convicted 4 possessing 400 gms of cocaine and charged with assault and kidnapping... and that he obtained membership of the Rajasthan Cricket Association by concealing his last name.?

Just another conspiracy theory...
