^ I want IPL to be purely league based. No point of topping the league if you lose in the Semi-final. It's a League not a "Cup".

WC Hockey comes first, then IPL. :)

I doubt whether that's possible. In footie, national games revolve around league games. So, with more time and players available, teams end up playing throughout the year (about 45-50 odd games) in the league alone.

Cricket leagues revolve around international games, as there are far more ODIs, Test series on international level (with more telecast and of course, interest) than local games. So IPL gets time for about 20 odd games in a span of a month.

Plus football is a tier-system of promotion-demotion. No such thing exists in cricket local cups. There's no "top 4" or "bottom 3" or even cases such as qualification for "europe". So there's no need for a league-based system of games.

Plus, with such a small number of games possible, semifinals look viable rather than race for the top spot. We need more games then, which is not possible given the preference to international games

Adrian D'souza is awesome!! :D

Totally agree. What's the use in topping the league and then lose the cup just coz you lose in one game. Doesn't make sense. Better keep IPL as a league only tournament and CL as KO tournament.

aah, KKR looses after a huge score and a great innings by gayle.. i hope they make it to semi-final's by playing like that ! Saurav was unable to show his captancy skills today. Mahela was superb with his batting. to be honest i was cursing him on each run he took :( . never had a clue what didnt work for KKR, the first 6 overs perhaps ?
