FunTastic : Yextra Yinnings! Oh yea this is just a flashback...

Writer : Venkat

Extraaa Innings (Jab Tak Rahega Samose Mein Alu, Extraaa Innings Ko Host karenge Mandira Aur Charu)

Read the full version

 

YExtraaa YInnings is back on Yair…ayyyooo!!, But now with a new bimbette.  As Ruby Bhatia was dropped from the SET MAX list, it was easy for the producer to find an equally dumb presenter.  He must have been to the sets of KSBKBT, and discovered how Mandira Bedi could be useful in hosting their cricket show. But do you think that the thingz have changed?? Nopes Nopes…even if Yana hosts the show, it can’t …so expect the same bad-bad and mach-mach that these ppl talk on the show! In this episode of Extraaa Innings, Venkat brings out the best outta this dumb crew!

Breaks : A programme where long breaks dominate the proceedings. But the main thing here is that they carry a punch line for Mandira and Charu. Often you see that dumb ad of Clinic All – Clear saying ‘Get Out, Get Going’ which I feel is the purrrrfect message for these guys…

Predikta :  A Stupid SMS game sponsored by Indiatimes. A game where the questions put out seem a bit imbecile.  It isn’t a game worth playing…SAD TO THE CORE…There are 3 types of Predikta – Insta, Krazee and Jackpot…plenty of prizes shouldn’t attract viewers as far as the quality is ground low…Even worse is that a message on your cell “Message Not Sent This Time”. But the main motto of this feature is to curb the popularity of ESPN Star’s Super Selector. E.g.”How many hair does Herschelle Gibbs have?” – So degraded and hopeless!

Stumped :  A feature which is as dumb as it gets.  Maria, the presenter was chucked outta MTV for her untamed pakaugiri, but she for one, brings all her experience (of pakaofying) into this show…This feature consists of senseless indigestible questions, which is a waste of time for some players – Main Reason for some upsets in the World Cup.

Indian Team on Tour :  It is like a hidden camera always behind your bums.  Trishna Basu gets her nose poking onto what the team is up to.  I won’t be surprised if she keeps updating about what the team is doing from outta their loo.  They sneak into privacy of the players, having no respite for ‘em.  But there’s a hitch – It’s no use peeking into these goddamn camera shy players.

Maa : Cricket and Astrology really don’t go with each other…but this babe, who I feel is Mrs.Sri Sri, tries to bring this ‘luck’ element into cricket.  I feel a Tarot Card doesn’t have a damn role in defining a player’s innings…I feel this is just a time-wasting measure to show that Indians know Tarot Cards reading!

Cook : This is The feature that sucks! I pity these cooks who make the delicacies for the cricketers.  An ideal feature for wannabe Udipi hoteliers, it’s a way by which people get carried away by these foods and spend their bucks on it…and end up going through their MOTIONS.  It’s better to keep away from these publicity stunts!

Mahabharat : Myth and Cricket have never and will never go together. But this feature gets into a lot of what it need not to…A battle of Words between two ‘so-called’ sages in orange and their pick on the match…something Krishna and Arjuna will be pondering over in the Divine Indralok.

  As they say, too many cooks spoil the broth.  I feel tooooo much of dumbness spoils the show and spoils the cricket-frenzy minds of India…So it’s better to make a choice between these non-cricketing shows and something, where expert analysis is what it is filled with.  The choice is yours – Make sure it’s the right one.

 Mandira is all set to petrify Bollywood by trying her dirty hands in direction…In short; she can be compared to the Bangladeshi Cricket Team – ‘Rich in Ambition…Poor in Condition’.
