Sorry for the large bump but did anyone watch this show. I felt the concept was very good, Robin Singh was great for me - he spoke English, and he was a great motivator and really shouted when the people screwed up. The main deficiency of the show was the winner - Sukhvir Singh. He seemed to be the quickest bowler at about 125kph (thats India for you) but he was not the best at all and was in danger zone (for poor performance) several times.
Sadly, I think he won because he was Sikh and had many Sikh voters and also he was mouthy and maybe he was a bit of a personality, I don't know because I could only understand the odd word of hindi and punjabi.
Dinesh Salumke (sp?) was the best player and even he couldn't believe it when he was told he did not make the final two. Kapil was angry and gave him and Mohammad Abbas (other 3rd or 4th place) both scholarships to his academy which I think undermined the show a little bit and the problem of an average player winning needs to be prevented, I thought the idea of a Danger Zone would work, but people obviously voted when the player was out. Maybe getting Man of the Series should have a beneficial on votes.
On a lighter note, when Sukhvir won, he cryed like a baby for so long, it was a little pathetic but a dream come true, it is certainly understandable. When the fireworks went off at the end, Kapil almost pooed his pants out of shock and fear, maybe they should have rehearsed that
