Are they really full?

Are the grounds really full for all IPL games. Even during yesterday's interview Lalit Modi mentioned that some other venues were sold out. But when we see the games on TV all we see are empty stands and all we hear are a few raptures that echo around the grounds. So are the grounds really full?
Staying with yesterday, isn't that "Chang" guy getting on your nerves. He is so stupid with his questions. Yesterday he asked Danny Morrison whom he supported. When Danny mentioned that he was Kiwi and supported Macullum prompt came the next question, "Are you looking forward to seeing Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya bat?" It was like Austin Powers saying "Zip it" to his son.
And what's with the two stone statues in the studio - Sameer Kochar and Arun Lal? Whenever they come on screen and discuss what happens (I don't think Arun Lal must even be allowed to say a word about a format of cricket in which he would make a total of 15 runs over 2 seasons if he plays 28 games) I tend to switch channels. Even the reviews on the news channels are a lot better - take for example Boria Majumdar shouting in the company of Charu Sharma on Times Now.
And yeah.. Mandira - you'd be better off sitting in the studio and asking questions to Tony Greig and Ravi Shastri rather than be on the field and come a huge cropper. Come on SET - throw that "Stone Cold" Sameer out and get "Giggly buggly" Mandira on.
