Sameera Reddy glams up the game

She can ride heavy bikes and scuba dive like a professional, but actor Sameera Reddy admits that she can't hold a bat straight to save her life.

However, that hasn't deterred the leggy lass from joining the Chennai team of the celebrity cricket league as their brand ambassador. The lady, who finds Australian cricketer Shane Watson "Chikna, chocolate-faced and everything a girl would want to see on a cricket field", talks to CS about cricket and cricketers:

Cricket crazy
I must confess that cricket never interested me when I was kid nor in my teens. My dad used to watch the boring five-day long Test matches which seemed to go on and on.

But the IPL got me hooked onto cricket with its 20-20 game format, glamour and high drama. It's one tournament I follow religiously. The kind of hype cricket generates in India is enough to attract women.
