high time all the other boards start talkinig against BCCI. let's see if BCCI can abandon all the future tours with all test playing countries. Guess that will be a fitting lesson. If England South Africa and Australia don't ply India, BCCI will be in deep shit.
Worse it will be for BCCI when these hostile nations start playing tests against the ICL minnows.

I liked your idea. May be ICL will represent India in world cricket. What the hell the ICC is doing???? they should recognize ICL.
Modi and IPL is trying to hijack cricket and it should be stopped. India should rule and incidents like what happened in Sydney shoul dbe opposed and not the way Modi and his thugs are doing now. Hats off to Arjuna the ever fighter.
Of course everything is related to money.SriLankans cud nevr ever imagine what IPL or ICL paid to them.It is more than their entire life time earnings still some stupid people try to spoil the sport.In his lifetime Arjuna Ranatunga cud not earn what Marvin Attapattu has earned in one year with ICL.After all they are all playing for money.Look at Bangla team,whole lot came to ICL for money.What is Adam Gilcrist doing in India-making money in IPL and writing stupid things in his autobiography-what for? only money.What is Ian Chappel,Pakis like Wasim Akram,Rameez Raja & Inti and whole lot doing in India--only money and that too much out of their expectations otherwise who wud like to watch these money hungry retireed cricketers.

bullshit!!!!! who gives a damn to BCCI....all other countries know that BCCI is a bully and it's just a matter of time....they will crumble like the Indian stock market.
the areasons that bcci is giving is nothing but evading main issue. its only the decision of slc to allow icl players to play in the domestic circuit that has irked bcci. now raising hue n cry over other issues. but the main issue is icl.

Yes. you are right. Coward BCCI dont have guts to face ICL. It is trying back door ways to curb ICL's development. It is ICL who has given the 20-20 cricket a great start. After that BCCI started IPL and says ban those players playing with ICL. This shows it is afraid that it cannot compete with ICL. I think our government / court should intervene and give a support to ICL and curb this BCCI's dominating attitude. Wherever there is competition, the service will be better...i.e. the ultimate gainer will be the cricket and the fans.

it isn't actually a joke Mr.Kuldip, you should watch the ICL matches and see the quality of cricket there and the close matches, just because all cine stars and celebrities represent IPL in some form, doesn't mean that the matches are close and interesting

i agree with mssr1 that competition vl always improve performance, efforts, etc. fear of icl luring their players, made bcci to raise the pay of domestic players to a gr8 extent. else these domestic players wud nt hv dreamt of good earning. thanx to icl.
