Its long since I posted on this thread. Probably was too busy to write. 40+ days of non-stop entertainment in the form of IPL (Indian Premier League) is the excuse this time !! The matches were very interesting in the sense that it was mix of all nation current-generation cricketing stars.
The grand success of the IPL can primarily be attributed to the "regional-feeling" injected by the teams (read team members). Unlike ICL, the IPL teams had majority of the members who were local to the so called home ground. That gave the audience a choice and reason to take sides. This was missing in ICL and therefore the inevitable failure. No matter how much one cribs about T20 not being a pure cricket, its a hit. People are elated - watching - players for their perks - businessmen for their revenues. Do we really care if its pure cricket ??
