Jacob Oram says he is not happy with off-field surreal moments of IPL
Rajasthan Royals’ all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Paul-David-Collingwood-c81044, has disclosed that various off-field activities and surreal moments in the IPL
did not please him.
The 32-year-old player claimed that IPL cricket is a different world, where players are allowed to do everything they want. He said that sometimes the off-field glitz can make you wonder if you are here for cricket or not.
While talking to media, the all-rounder stated, “After nearly every game there's an after-party, there's Bollywood stars there and fashion parades; the drinks are free and the cheerleaders are around. It's a different world.”
“Sometimes you wonder if you're here for cricket or not. Ultimately you are. It is good fun, but at the same time I don't think it's reality,” the Kiwi shared.
Oram was also http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Arthur-Percival-Day-c45927 to meet with his skipper, Shane Warne’s girl friend, Elizabeth Hurley and said it would be memorial for him.
He quoted, "She [Hurley] was here for a week, halfway through the tournament. She's a very http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Timothy-Francis-Bloomfield-c94006 lady and has an organic farm herself, so with my wife's family being organic farmers, there was a conversation starter there."
The player further explained that IPL fever has taken over all of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750. Every cricket lover and youngster is talking about IPL. He elaborated that almost every TV channel is discussing IPL games and half a dozen pages in every paper cover IPL moments.
Oram also expressed how he was happy to play under his captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672.
