IPL player auction on February 3

Posted by   on (December 23, 2012, 3:34 GMT)

To all those people who oppose IPL don't realize the following: (1) Youngsters get chance to perform (2) Players get very good money (no one likes to do or see the labor job - i.e. Test Match and get paid less) (3) Fans/BCCI/players are more excited about IPL than Tests and ODIs put together. The entire world operates on making more money and maximizing the happiness in life. BCCI makes more money, players get money, and fans enjoy the game very much... everyone wins :) (4) Players want to do well in ODI and Tests so that they get a chance in IPL.. which is the ultimate form of cricket. (5) IPL is difficult to play because batsman are faced with all kinds of bowlers and they need to score boundaries and score fast, which is not acceptable in Test.. which requires to play slow.. which is so easy.

Eagerly waiting for it..by the by ipl won spend money on Bangladeshi players except few like shakib upto date..because ipl already have big big stars they can't waste their money on them...still they are talented but their standard has to be improved more...like shakib who has special talent in himself has earned his place in ipl...tamil Iqbal just out of equation if if he cum he wil be unsold

now ipl can be more interesting

There is no desicion Yet taken on Pkaistan players

@Jimbond - Well said buddy..while it is really "Interesting Tournament- especially to study the fan behaviour."...even the aussies, poms & kiwis have their stake...that is to keep on their tirade against IPL. Come on guys let us all just accept the facts that 1) IPL is and in the near foreseeable future will be the de-facto premier T20 tournament.. 2)India is a powerto be reckoned with when it comes to limited overs cricket 3)India is a minnow in tests right now....

@adnan_mamoon i agree with ur rule theory but its better for 8 countries to play proper test cricket than T20 leagues being set up all over the world and turning this game of cricket into a street show..........country v country is best for any sport........

If Ipl misses Pk players yet again...Ipl will fail to gain worldclass status yet again.......

@jimbond.. we can understand your grief. but it's cricket after all... is there any rule which says you can't be a fan of a player from different country? forget about country v country for a while and enjoy the sport man.. football is all about clubs, passion, history, fan following. that's why it is such a popular sport. cricket will forever have only eight competitive teams if we don't get over this country v country thing. ipl is the future of cricket, accept it or not

Now the Indian fans can be happy again, they can start cheering for their boroughs- and be happy when Kallis hits Zaheer Khan for a boundary. And besides Indians, I guess (from the comments) that the ones who have the most stake are the Bangladeshi fans (who have dreams that one day their entire national team will be playing in IPL), and for some reason the Pakistani fans as well. Interesting Tournament- especially to study the fan behaviour.
