Third-eye speak...

Apparently, Nimbus, the people who've been given the rights to cover, and uncover, everything to do with Indian cricket for the next five hundred years, now have the rights to train their slo-mo crazed cameras on the players two hours earlier than the start of every day's play. Nimbus, of course, say they will not cover anything private or juiceworthy that might embarrass the players concerned. Which only makes Third-eye wonder what the point of the whole exercise might be? After all, if we aren't going to see our players caught in compromising positions, if we're not going to see what we're not normally used to seeing, if we're not going to be given everything but pure sport to keep us glued to what is, essentially and sadly, just sport, why in God's name should we be interested? You see, in this day and age of lifestyle-meets-sport, we're really only interested in lifestyle matters. So if Nimbus has any sense and hopes to recover some of the gazillions they've shelled out to the BCCI, they'll make sure that they're roving eyes will capture a quarrel or two, a shoe being flung across the room or two and maybe even a wardrobe malfunction or three. (Now, that's something Third-eye will be most eagerly looking forward to.)
