It's Like American Idol, Only It's Nothing Like American Idol

Sukhvir Singh is the Kelly Clarkson of Cricket. Nope, that didn't make any sense to me either... Ahem, allow me to clarify:

'Cricket Star' is a T.V. show in India which is loosely based on the show 'Indian Idol', which is (unsurprisingly) based on U.S. nail bomb show 'American Idol'.

It was launched in March this year and it's first winner was the young Mr. Singh who won a year's contract with umm... Leicestershire's Second XI. Apparently he is a right-arm fast bowler who took 1 wicket for 45 runs on his debut. Which actually kind of sucks.

I'd like to see more shows like this on our screens though, wouldn't you?

I'm sure shows like 'Dog Fighting Idol', 'Archery King' or 'Ice Fishing Star' would get huge ratings. Heck they might even win a few comedy awards too!
