Pune and Kochi unveiled as new IPL franchises

Except that most of the time, after a few overs of rush, the games are as boring at batshit.

Then again, basketball seems to do all right in many countries.

Yeah. Basketball only becomes exciting in the last minute of a close game. Though some of the skills on display are phenomenal.

Used to go to a fair bit of basketball in the glory days in Aus. Had corporate access, so good seats, free food and drink, all the extras. Without all the hype, it was usually a pretty dull night.

One of the most amazing moments in sport was when Chicago were going for their first threepeat. 1 point down three seconds to go and the throwin from their end. They call a timeout and the coach just says "Throw the ball to Michael".

May be dull to watch, but is real fun to play, even if you aren't any good like me.
