IPL - Indian Problem League???

[x3060]

this is one format of cricket i love the most . . i want some fast hitting , quick thinking , and quick results . it has got very good young talents too. am fed up with 11 indian players most of them having secured seats - instead i want more of our players , look most of the strange faces perform here . thats what i want young sides and seniors performing well together. its fast , exciting and is perfect for short watching

he match between RR

he match between RR and DC was awesome. especially the last over..!

and i agree with u dipen.. watching test cricket is always the ultimate.. but then T20 are like masala movies.. fooltoos entertainment!!!

 

[m-jeri]

^^ @ legolas..yes constructive argument..yes man ur right...

@others...

1. BCCI is one of the most powerful sports body in the world.in ICC its #1...
they did do lots of idiotic things i agree..their selection sucks some times.... but like any body they need income...and pride....so came IPL....can I judge anyone here trying to make money by any straight way???
no i suppose not...like that they did IPL....

We should be thanking BCCI to bringing a new wave of cricket to the world..yes not india..the world..lokk at my avatar....i am not a cricket fan..period..i am soccer...but now i gt interested in cricket..during jobs we just dont have time to watch ODI and Test..but T20 changed it...full match and wow.do i hav eto say other goodies...

2. IPL will never going to destroy anything...to be true some of my frnds from kerala team will soon be in some IPL team..i cant say which...deals going on.....MY frnds are going to be recognised....for all you kiddos just tugging ur bat and ball dont know how damn hard it is to be a local player and not know...do u know the embarassement....

The OT here posts like hes a unwanted cricket player..like personal....he takes..thats absurd...IPL is the best damn thing that ever happened to indian cricket...period...

3.girls...colours..music..just flavour ppl.....if u want see them otherwise please dont ruin it for others....

Like MH govt now yellin abt cheer leaders.....WTF??? can we talk abt the state of their govt...unemployement..corruption...anything..gimme a break...

4. the OT here is being arrogant..ignorant..and sarcastic to others...but posters like @dipen and others are giving constructive arguments which we accept and dont accept...

5. if the match schedule is too damn long ...56....who the heck is forcing you....we have other things in life.....do it...nobody is teling u anything....if u cant watch it deal with it...i have only seen inaugral matc...coz i am to damn busy... .....

Lots of ppl are getting a break...lots of unknown local players...did u all know who all are playing for you state team....their entire carrers like u know your star players...well now u will....in a sense IPL is doing wat ICL doing in a better or worse way...

PERIOD....

I personally am no big fan of 20-20.One of the few things I like abt 20-20 is its unpredictability.(A weaker team has better chance of winning;watched RRoyals vs DC,great match).But,it will most likely be the future of cricket.IPL provides entertainment(not counting the cheerleaders here) where the pitch makers make sure that 200+ scores are possible & where boundary length is considerably reduced to have more 6's & 4's.

These *@# politicians seem to have no job other than to watch the "cheerleaders" & worry about the destruction of moral fibre in India.A few of them went as far as to label them "prostitutes" & still suggesting that incidents of harassment are increasing due to the "indecency" of women "aping" the "doomed" western culture.(I mean,come on whts wrong in wearing jeans,skirts).

Dont they have other serious matters to worry about(Inflation,Farmer suicide rates...etc).

Things are getting even worse for the IPL. The Harbajhan-Sreesanth issue is one of the ugliest inciedents happened in Indian cricket...

If Bajji really slapped Sree, then it is a very ugly to see IPL creating a rift in the Indian team.
If it was planned by BCCI to be a publicity stint, we should know how much these people are reducing Indian Cricket to and fooling the Indian people......

^^ dude get over it, IPL rocks, people love it, stadiums are filled, its exciting its fun, players are enjoying it

ur opinion is not even worth reading man, get a life and move on.

Oh come on we know this was a bad incident but there would be lot of similar incidents going on inside the dressing room as well which we don't know..This is'nt going to create a rift in the Indian team ..So as IMav said get a life and move on and don't be so cynical towards the world

 

[m-jeri]

actually incidents like this will help the team to be more close....and yes farer too..its when real hardships come u know good and bad abt ur frnds...

 

[sjstays]

i personally don think that the sre-bhajji incident was a creation of BCCI! but then we never know the inside stories.. some newsspaper reported sree said something offensive about him and his hometown whereas some alleged that bhajji was frustrated and thus slapped sree! what the heck! we have match referees and if somebdy waants to jeopardise his own career and reputation then that is his own choice..

but it was really surprising to see the newspaper reporters turn hostile against the same offspinner whom they ahve supported all the way rhough during the ugly incidents in australia.

lastly, barring royal challengers cheerleaders (whu tended to show a bit of the bums!) none of the cheerleaders have worn any objecionable dresses or mde obscee dance moves.. so am not sure from wer does this idiotic, stupid reaction come from!
all play and no work make our politicians be much dumber!!!

 

[wrazor]

I just hope our national team(which looks to be top3 material) doesnt end up the same fate as Englands soccer team because of these leagues. I think nobody can deny the strain in relations between Frank &Stevie.Also their becomes a possibilty of devaluing the national team spots. IPL is decent(not that great, but its just k).

 

[damnthenet]

What will happen if the every country srarts its own league like IPL (There is a talk that Pakisthan board is also going to start one)???
T20 is good for entertainment but it should not stumble the regular course of the game.

 

[sjstays]

all the footbal countries have their own leagues so likewise any country can form their own leauge and franchises with the higest financial capacity can bid the best players in the world.

 

[x3060]

thats right . . if some country wants to do it . . let them do it .the ultimate aim of sports is to entertain and build up relationships.

its my personal opinion but T20 is the best for me. i remember the first full test match i watched , it was IND VS SA 1996 safari series. and from then on to see sehwag score 300 in a day , times have changed. i dont want to waste 5 days in front of the TV and draw is the result. T20 will bring pace to test cricket and make it more intresting.

who would not want to see sehwag score 300 in a day ?

 

[Rahim]

T20 is one sided
