1. Despite being a staged fight, WWE attracts huge viewership and that is exactly why ICL has a chance to succeed 2. Considering that most of the cricket viewers consume cricket like they do all the soap-operas, even the oldies playing will be equally interesting to them 3. Unfortunately, these guys are going to get comepetion for Jersey No.10 (A new soap with cricket backdrop :) 4. There is space for both in media, so no need to fret

its not a domination, its a monopoly, thats got even government support. look at the way sharad pawar celebrated the T20 world cup victory.
Ah how fickle we are???When people like Dhoni, yuvraj and sachin make money and under-perform in some games, we say money is spoling them.And now u want these "Unknown" domestic cricketers to make heck a lot of money.If money spoils anyone,then it's gotta be these players who are getting more than their worth.

well, these guys are not worth acodring to bcci. they havent been taken care of properly in many cases. some are undertalented, but it does not mean that they cant make money as much as tendulkar. you have a prejudiced attitude. maybe yu are a shill for bcci. money and cricketing worthlessness are 2 different things you moron
Stop fooling Indians by calling BCCI team as Team India. BCCI is a private body and not recognised by Govt of India. ICC is also a private bosy and BCCI is one of the franchisee. If ICL really does well, ICC may think os getting rid of blackmailer BCCI and recognise ICL.

u don't seem to have all the information.If such a situation arises where ICC has to choose between ICL and BCCI it will definitely choose BCCI.It's the money generated in India that world cricket runs on and the BCCI is very gud at it.

BCCI is a self-promoted monopoly, not endorsed officially by the govt. There is nothing sacred per se about BCCI. The way its management was acting before and after elections with a politician now heading it, it was time to give them some competition. They have been dictating Indian Cricket for far too long. The selection process, tv rights process, cricket bookie scandals - all have made it a murky affair. We should have been where Australia is today, or at least a well-talented number 2 spot. That will happen only when real talent is promoted, and we take politicians out of the equation imho
ICL is a B-grade cricket tournament.Ironically ICL, which promised to change the landscape of Indian Cricket is being launched at a time when Indian Cricket is doing really well.ICL's primary motive was to cash in on the disillusionment among the people about the state of Indian Cricket after the world cup debacle.ICL is a good money-making excercise for ZEE Group which lost out on the telecast rights for Indian cricket.Now they want to settle scores with the BCCI.And players like cairns,wanderwath see it as an ideal opportunity to earn money in order to finance their future business plans(wanderwath wants to run cattle businees.read story on cricinfo.com).Now there are two sub-standard tournaments running in the country,the ranji trophy with some state sides completely weakened by players' exodus to ICL and the ICL(featuring players like kiran powar, robin morris all in their late 30's)a gud retirement avenue for cricketers.If u are thinking Subash Chandra is the messiah of Indian cricket the stop kidding.ICL plans to produce cricketers with Killer instinct.Are they gonna give them guns?haaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa

any coincidence that the indian team starts playing well after the world cup ? if the indian team does good only till the time icl is killed off, we'll know for sure whats going on.

BCCI sucks. they have first rate morons and are reactive, not proactive. what were they doing with all the monies until icl stepped in ? they claim they dont represent india, which is the worst insult possible, and we indians had to take that load of bullshit from them. they are a monopolist and are nothing but a bunch of politicians and businessmen at work with a few cricketers thrown in front as the PR people.

I m not completely with u. Forget money earning points. Rest is ICL may break monopoly of BCCI, wat BCCI is doing for last 5 dacades. It is only one Club, making monopoly for selection. If we remove last few years, earlier only Mumbai and south was havy in Indian Cricket. Now ICL may give challange to BCCI, I should give complete liberty to play and include all players, without any restriction, so that in india all corner may give good players.
