Inspired by Brian Sack’s Facebook news feed from 1945<\/a>, I’ve tried to imagine how Facebook would render the IPL. Some entries:<\/p>\n

\n

Harbhajan Singh<\/b> has slapped S Sreesanth<\/b>.<\/p>\n

S Sreesanth<\/b> and Matthew Hayden<\/b> are now friends.<\/p>\n

Vijay Mallya<\/b> wrote on Giancarlo Fisichella’s<\/b> wall:<\/p>\n

“Gian, can you play cricket? I need you.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Rahul Dravid<\/b> is nostalgic for 2006.<\/p>\n

Sourav Ganguly<\/b> is updating Facebook while the opposing captain waits at the toss. Muhahaha!<\/p>\n

Preity Zinta<\/b> wrote on Shah Rukh Khan’s<\/b> wall:<\/p>\n

“Cheer up, it could be worse. Have you heard that Aamir’s dog is named after you and licks his feet?”<\/i><\/p>\n

Ajay Jadeja<\/b> added the Puppydog<\/b> application and joined The Lekha Washington Fan Club<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Update<\/b>: The kind TA Abinandanan<\/a> writes in to point me to Krish Ashok’s Facebook Mahabharatha<\/a>. Funky farmgirls fumigate furiously!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
