Harsha's googly on IPL

In a recent article written by Harsha in cricinfo, he makes 2 or 3 very good points. But most readers are talking about his take on Gambhir's reprimand. Yes that was a good one from some one who is from IPL camp. But for me the most important quote from that article is

"While reading an obituary of the great Alec Bedser, I found this comment attributed to his mother. When asked by reporters about her son's achievement of taking 11 wickets in a game, she said, "But that's what he is in the side for, isn't he?" Fair lady, you allowed us a mighty chuckle. If you were to return to our media-driven world 64 years after you wondered at the excitement over your son's performance, you would find us going gaga over two balls bowled well, about one four-over spell decently delivered. Thank you, ma'am for putting things in perspective in our quote-a-minute world."
Oh man, he seems seriously frustrated by the commentary he is dishing out in IPL. Just imagine yourself in a place where you cannot say what comes up in your mind but have to say at the least some exaggerated stuff.
Pity him.
