Facebook and the IPL

Inspired by Brian Sack’s Facebook news feed from 1945, I’ve tried to imagine how Facebook would render the IPL. Some entries:

Harbhajan Singh has slapped S Sreesanth.

S Sreesanth and Matthew Hayden are now friends.

Vijay Mallya wrote on Giancarlo Fisichella’s wall:

“Gian, can you play cricket? I need you.”

Rahul Dravid is nostalgic for 2006.

Sourav Ganguly is updating Facebook while the opposing captain waits at the toss. Muhahaha!

Preity Zinta wrote on Shah Rukh Khan’s wall:

“Cheer up, it could be worse. Have you heard that Aamir’s dog is named after you and licks his feet?”

Ajay Jadeja added the Puppydog application and joined The Lekha Washington Fan Club

And so on. I’m not good with graphics, so I can’t actually recreate it, but if you want to fool around, feel free to use the entries above.

Update: The kind TA Abinandanan writes in to point me to Krish Ashok’s Facebook Mahabharatha. Funky farmgirls fumigate furiously!
