The host broadcaster felt no compulsion to acknowledge the dreadful truth of the day with the same viewers who were reeling under its impact. It felt no urge to convey the message that perhaps the scripted entertainment hadn't always ended once the cricket began. That perhaps some of what had gone on over the last few weeks on our TV screens was a lie. No board official felt the need to use the platform to assuage irate fans. Perhaps a recorded message from each of the nine captains promising to preserve the integrity of the tournament? Perhaps a word from team owners assuring greater vigilance against deviant elements? Perhaps members of the high-powered governing council apologising for their inability to rein in the crooks? Nah, that sounds boring, let's do some jhampik and some jhapak instead.
