India has barely had time to draw breath, reflect and recover from last Saturday’s World Cup victory, but the carnival of cricket rolls on with the Indian Premier League T20 tournament, which starts Friday.

More cricket?! Are you serious?

Oh, and could not come any earlier, advocates of a hard time finding any difference in life in the post-World does not exist, people began to want to ask in despair: "There is no cricket matches live today what you mean I turn the TV off and talk to my husband and family?. I can not do it, not yet. please, I can not do this, it's just ... it's just not cricket. "

I also found myself wondering if he was willing to live without these wonderful games faithfully reproduced from just after lunch in the afternoon and evening. They were like a fairy Nice ... which began at 14:30 every day.

For cricket fans, who suffers from a hangover of the World Cup, IPL must give a perfect hair-use the dog. For some in India who are not enthusiastic about sport, but this tournament - which runs until 28 May to May feel as excessive.

Imagine you are on the way back from a great holiday home, but instead of going to bed with some 'much needed rest and recuperation, a friend comes running out, prompting a new cocktail in hand and get you out of a party different from another round of endless partying.

It could go well, but you know you will be exhausted by the end of it. It is IPL this year.

If that's what viewers want, imagine how the actors - especially the Indian star who won the World Cup - are clear. They have not had a moment away from the media spotlight since the triumph last Saturday. No time to gaze lovingly at their medals world champions, and even less emphasis on the next IPL.

franchise owners must pray for the stars, they have lavished millions of dollars will be in the right frame of mind. In fairness, there is no point more confidence that the World Cup victory as Indian players filled with the substance. That should help their bosses millionaires to rest a little easier.

If I were a record producer, I am tempted to release a Bhangra beat infusion of 10 cc classic "Dreadlock Holiday", for his song "I do not like cricket, I love" about summed up the feeling of India in this time.
