king2be98 Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Now I have enjoyed the cricket, some of the games which I've seen, of course if Pakistani players were involved then I'd be even more eager to watch more games. The cricket has been of a very good quality, some of the hitting has been superb, however you can see an obvious difference in class between the bowling in this league and international bowling. Despite all of this, as I've mentioned time and time again, the adverts ARE SO F***ing annoying. Here is an article from cricinfo which gives a more in depth view of the advertisements and I have to agree with every point made. http://www.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/453685.html Which idiot decided to come up with terms like the DLF Maximum, City Moment of Success and now a Karbon Kamaal catch? I think they need to find that person and kick him very hard in the nuts. Even the sitters are mid off and mid on are called Kamaal catches, it's ridiculous. I understand that money has to be made, as it does in every other sport, but to put adverts in between balls and to add the time outs, they have really made a mess of it and gone way way way overboard. It;s such a shame that instead of watching a superb straight 6 from Hussey in repeat, we had to watch Max Mobile adverts, it was the first ball of the over that he hit for that sweet 6. Several Indian fans on cricinfo are also lamenting Modi and his colleagues for this mess.
gaurav92 Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Modi's idea of On Screen Ads in the ground are a massive :fail:
urbestfriend Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Modi is ****in moron...! It sucks to watch advt between balls.
someone Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I cannot believe what are we arguing with. Does it make any difference with a six and a DLF six? For me, if my team hits one, I feel happy no matter if it is called DLF six. Stop finding little things to criticize IPL and in particular Modi whom I feel has done an excellent job in proving entertainment and good cricket to us and money
Dinx - the Jinx Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 and they are offering a freaking 1,00,000 rupees for the karbonn kamal catch.. wtf.. if there was just one catch that was taken in the entire match and even if it was a sitter that was begging to be taken, the catcher gets a lakh.. WTF I say
The Outsider Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I read somewhere Modi was also trying to sell the orange and purple caps to brands, but did not find any takers this time. Next time we'll probably hear Nirma sabun orange cap and Deluxe Nirodh purple cap.

gaurav92 Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 ^We may also have a "Amul Macho Man of the Match" and also a "VIP Feelings Shot of the day"- for a shot that looked crunchy :woot:

Indus_Army Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 DLF Maximums and citi moment of success are acceptable. But, Karbon Kamaal catch has got to be the most irritating term out there!
zubinpepsi Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 DLF Maximums and citi moment of success are acceptable. But' date=' Karbon Kamaal catch has got to be the most irritating term out there![/quote'] but the amazing thing is.. even if there is no catch..... commentators find a way to say karbon kamal.. i have noticed so many times commies saying oww if he had taken tht, it wud have been a karbon kamal catch.. or hes a good fielder.. he is gonna take the karbon kamal catch :wall: frankly, more than the adverts i find the commies are cringe-worthy..notable ones are LSRK,Shastri, Russel and Morrison

king2be98 Posted April 2, 2010 Author Posted April 2, 2010 Stop finding little things to criticize IPL and in particular Modi whom I feel has done an excellent job in proving entertainment and good cricket to us and money Here is the problem, it's not a little thing and we're not finding it, it's a big thing and it's right in front of us all for the entire 3 hour broadcast of the game. I as a viewer, although I didn't pay for the channel this year (ITV 4 is free), I have in the past and I expect good decent coverage of the cricket. With Sky I get that, from domestic English cricket to international cricket, the adverts aren't a major problem. But in this IPL, they have forgotten that the cricket matters more than the advertisements.
flamy Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 that laba laba kisna is the bastard that keeps jumping on non-existent catches and shouts karbon kammmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal. :mad:
Sachinism Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 How many times have they mentioned MRF and Dennis Lillee when the blimp is around. FFS last weekend I was home watched a whole match and all I remember is Dennis Lillee ran the MRF pace academy and most of India's pace bowlers went there
gaurav92 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 ^ANd also that Zak,Munna and Pathan are the successes of the academy, and Gauti and Nohit are the ambassadors of the MRF blimp :wall: This happens to be the only line they say including the Director-Dennis Lillee whenever the Blimp is shown :wall:
