I chose to due my final reading journal on a sport that I really know nothing about Cricket. Gollapudi wrote an article about corruption in the countries cricket league BCCI. Players from teams have been throwing "no- balls", which is a penalty and gives the other team a run, in an effort to shave points for money. The Pune Warriors were a major offenders with two of their bowlers, the equialent of pitchers in baseball, guilty of purposely throwing no-balls. One player Srivastava from the warriors was caught in a recorded tape making negotations to throw a no-ball in his upcoming match. I thought this article was really cool because I got to learn about a sport that is the equivalent of baseball in the developing country of India. I thought Gollapudi's writing lacked imagery and was kind of a boring read but he certainly scored points from me by being direct in his delivery of the event, he didn't dance around the subject, he simply told the story like it was with no opinon on the matter.
