IPL - Indian Problem League???

[m-jeri]

^^ FOR ONCE..I found it hard to disagree chottu,,,


@Damn....i think u had ur answers....the thing all is saying tradition will live but u cant stop evolution....world couldnt....what will a lone guy sayin no to progress can do??

 

[lywyre]

Pray IPL kills traditional cricket, which would utimately doom to BCCI and some other body takes the control over. Should be a good one, because no one would be lunging for a body that makes little money.

hi .. i think IPL is a huge hit, talking about the last match between mumbai indians and chennai superkings.. even tho am a knight rider supporter. i was glued to the tele screen as the match was brought to an xciting finish...

i like watchhing ipl and i also like watching test cricket.. doesnt matter to me wat form game it is..
the reason is.. it provides u with good entertainment..
and ipl surely is a thing of the future.. at least it is providing us ppl whu slog out for the whole day in office to come home and relax have T20 match to watch.. so wat if ther r few guys whu ar e making money over it.


talking about BCCI.. we all know they are a bunch of jokers and only few of thema re managing the game to xtract the best possible monetary benefit.. while others r trying to get some leverage out of it... politically or financially.
.. and kudos to ICl as well as they hav initiated the whole concept... i watched a few of those matches and trust me they wer good as well!
and bcci is not doing any good by banning the iCl players!


and lastly.. i agree with wasim akram's comments that test cricket will not affected.. but ODI's can be in trouble!

 

[damnthenet]

But i feel as usual there are pros and cons..

Well IPL is highly glamorous, entertaining and produces many thrilling matches.. But in the larger perspective its killing the real game of cricket which is not ODI but Test-Cricket. Killing in the sense its not as if Test Cricket wont be played anymore. People are losing interests in Test Cricket and majority of them have lost in ODI's too..

Well some might say that due to the same reason 20-20 is started but now it will get worse...

Anyways me being die hard cricket fan, i still prefer a morning session of Ashes @Lords over any IPL.. Yeah they dont hit so many sixes and fours.. agreed wickets fall slowly but all this ohh and ahhs.. misses..appeals... inswings.. outswings.. killer bouncer.. awesome coverdrives.. Do we see that so much in 20-20.. Its all about mindless hitting.. Well actually thats the only way as this format demands it..

^^^^^^^^^^^^^YES^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

idiot...

Mind your words!!!!! Discuss something on the topic

Chennai vs Mumbai had a packed stadium. Right?

As a person living in Chennai I know how the ticket sales used to be for one days.... It will get over the very first day when they start giving....
Its true that Chennai stadium was packed.... But most of the tickets were sold only on that day and the reasons ----- not only cricket....(There were ppl like Siva Mani, Hariharan, Vijay, Nayanthara and Anooradha Sriram..... Vijay requseted his fans to come and watch the match and note that most ppl do not have facility to see IPL matches because of Cable operator problems..)

It doesn't matter when the tickets are sold old. Are they sold out or not

That's what we are trying to tell. It's glamorous cricket and that's what is attracting people.

Why would SET Max pay 1billion $ for 10yr IPL telecast rights.
WHy would someone pay 400cr rupees to get hold of one team.

It's the future of cricket and it's being accepted with huge roar across the world (especially in India).

 

[m-jeri]

i think the roar of lions is not echoing in chennai....lol.....

^ ^ madjeri, try to respect others views. and stop using "abusive language". and Read the rules

 

[m-jeri]

@legolas....!!!!!!!!!11


when did i abused anyone....can u point it out....and if i have ever offended u man i am so sorry.....but seriously when did i offend you...and when did i not give respect to yu man..

if this is here then i am ok....otherwise i am deeply sorry ..i apologise to u man..

 

[Dipen01]

How about some sensible discussions

Put your point forward.. Some will agree , others will not as simple as that..

Theres no point in name games.. Just because this is in Fight Club section, that doesnt mean we actually have to fight without any reason..

you did not offend me. But calling names is not what fight clubs are for. Its about having civilized discussions without losing your temper and giving respect to others views how ever stupid it may seem to you. I am not offending or trying to hurt you here. Certainly I am not judging you. It happens. I am just letting you know.
Its reg. this post that I made the point. I have no personal vindictiveness towards you!

@Dipen, +1

 

[iMav]

who says chennai ticket sales were slow ... did u look at the match the stadium was filled low ticket sales

 

[Dipen01]

Overall there is concern if the excitement will stay and not fizz out soon..

*www.thehindubusinessline.com/2008/04/22/stories/2008042251970500.htm

But all in all people who never used to watch cricket are getting attracted so that can be included in one of the pros..

For me i can watch some cricket every night but stupid commentary and idiotic set max broadcast ruins it, nevertheless some huge sixes, challenging total can be an okie timepass.

But as i mentioned i still prefer Test Cricket and ODI's over this.. Havent seen good ground strokes since long time i guess couple of cover drives from Dravid and Sehwag were good but others are mere slogs..

One more advantege of IPL is its giving international exposure to Youngsters, some good players will get a chance to prove themeselves under pressure conditions..

Some Youngsters like Gambir ,Dhawan, Raina, Rohit Sharma, and couple of few good bastmen look pretty promising also Goni - Chennai Bowler bowled pretty good spell even on batting pitch yesterday..

 

[iMav]

well u can enjoy watching people playing for 5 days and ending a game in draw i rather prefer, 6 runs 2 balls in most matches, its exciting, fast paced, doesn't make u waste a whole day or even 5 days for that matter

 

[Dipen01]

Well no-one asks us to watch it for 5 whole days

I appreciate good bowling and good stroke play.. which is hard to come by in 20-20.. even though if in 10 overs the batting side cant score 10 runs.. but those 10 overs are meticulously bowled then for me its fun to watch batsman twitching here and here to even make contact..

Besides we can even watch a session or say 10-15 over/day and u can follow rest of the test match

Draw is never an issue as long as the match is interesting and competitive

Edit:- Just saw the ending of today's match.. Last overs like these makes IPL a treat

 

[iMav]

Draw is never an issue as long as the match is interesting and competitive

and that my friend is the difference T20 is always interesting and even more competitive ... test cricket cannot be as competitive as T20, sure a couple of matches but in T20 almost every match is competitive

Added a note just now

I am supporting KKR and MI but i was certainly rooting RR for this match, Although i feel sad for Laxman too..lol dunno i want everyone to win against everyone

 

[iMav]

^^ exactly that is the fun of T20 ... 3 hours and such endings its simply pure entertainment and fun

Dont feel sad for laxman ...he himself is'nt sad of loosing

 

[Dipen01]

Actually its totally not his game.. Because if you are in it then you have to perform like it demands. I mean even someone like Kaif had to come out of his image and hit some sixes today, Laxman needs to change his game if he wants his team to him.

Because on paper this team is the strongest of all, but it loses out on key moments.

Anways seems like we are going offtrack here
