35k per ball!

Ishant Sharma will earn Rs. 35,185/- per ball in the "all-time" biggest mega reality show, Indian Premier League!

This particular piece of info, was up in a local daily, which calculated each bowlers worth per ball (assuming they play all the matches for 3 years). Though it's not possible to technically calculate each ball's value, assuming the respective bowlers team reaches the final stage in all three years, they will play in all 45 matches! And at 4 overs per match, that's roughly 1080 balls!

Other bowlers:

Irfan Pathan - Rs. 34,259/- per ball!
Brett Lee - Rs. 33,333/- per ball!
Jacques Kallis - Rs. 33,333/- per ball!
RP Singh - Rs. 32,407/- per ball!
Harbajan Singh - Rs. 31,481/- per ball!
Muttaiah Muralidharan - Rs. 22,222/- per ball!
S Sreesanth - Rs. 23,148/- per ball!
Anil Kumble - Rs. 18,518/- per ball!
Shane Warne - Rs. 16,666/- per ball!

Anyone out there who can do the same math for each ball you face as a batsman or for each boundary that you hit!!

PS: Whoof, wish I concentrated more on my cricketing skills in school than at studies!! At least will try make my kid a cricketer now ;-)

    It's a real darn pity considering all the hullabaloo created, the game has corroded down to the lowest level one can possibly think. What else would one call this, a flock of sheep ready for auctioning to be dispatched for shearing, worse than that......

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!! Thanks to this Wikipedia link , forwarded to me by Vinay
