Lahor Badshahs were 100% comprised of Pakistani players. So, in a sense, this is a club outfit(Heroes) beating Pakistani national outfit(Badshahs). Real gr8 achievements.

Actually we have 5-6 international players too..Other than that all are Indians
i am amazed at the CROWD SUPPORT! i thought the indian crowd may not turn up for the events but on the contrary it was an outstanding turn around kudos to ICL for making IPL RUN FOR THEIR MONEY!!
The catch taken by R Satish at boundry is best catch ever I have seen For those U Who have not seen it,. ball by going for six R Jumped in the air and hold the catch, But as he was it was a running catch he was baout to cross the boundry, Just before crossing the ball the release the ball back in the air and again dives full the lengh to catch it. Amazing........ What do usay gus

yeah an outstanding catch indeed and a great thinking on part of sathish to do that!!!!
ITS DUE TO ICL THAT,IPL HAS COME INTO EXISTENCE IN THE FIRST PLACE ! SO HATS OFF TO THEM FOR THINKING ABOUT THE PLAYERS WELL BEING;& ALSO THE SPECTATORS! ALSO THE GOOD WORK WITH THE PLAYERS ,CAN BE WELL VISUALISED ! NONE OF THE PRESENT INDIAN TEAM PLAYERS, ARE HALF AS GOOD AS MOST OF THE ICL PLAYERS,AS FAR AS FIELDING GOES! IF BCCI,INDEED WANTED INDIAN CRICKET'S WELL-BEING,INSTEAD OF BANNING THESE PLAYERS,SOME OF THEM COULD BE VERY MUCH USED TO REPRESENT THE COUNTRY ! SPECIAL MENTION OF THE HEROES WICKET-KEEPER -HE CAN VERY WELL TEACH,THE ARROGANT & SELFISH MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI,QUITE A FEW LESSONS IN WICKET-KEEPING ! MOST OF THESE MATCHES HAVE BEEN ABOVE PRESENT INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS;& MUCH ABOVE "INDIAN STANDARDS" !AM QUITE SURE,THE BEST ICL TEAM SHALL NAIL DOWN THE BEST FROM THE IPL "AUCTION" ANYDAY ! KAPIL PAAJI & TEAM,PLEASE KEEP THE GOOD WORK GOING !
I can't understand who the hell gave tha man of the match award to Binny and Raydu? What they did special in the match. i can understand a bit about Raydu but what did Binny do in the match? Instead both of these Razzaq did well in both bowling and batting. He made a quick 21 in just 12 balls and took 3 wickets while giving just 18 runs in 4 overs. He surely deserved the man of the match. Well, whatever was in there mind, it%u2019s a good match to watch.
RE:Man of the Match..huh!!!!

Binny's 4 overs cost him just 19 runs and he took two VITAL wickets at a time when things were turning towards the BADSHAH's!! people chosing man of the match are NOT NUTS!!!!

Why do you need BCCI's 'ashirwad'. ICL is good enough. The talent that has been paraded is superb. I loved every match this season. Thanks Kapil Dev and Co. for this feast.

People anyways dont want BCCI's same old political players they want entertainment which ICL has so far succeeded in.
ICL is truly path breaking in Cricket ! Its only later that BCCI (we all know people involved and the political stink it has !) woke up to money part and the sense of insecurity it generated for this challenged their monoploly ! ICL players need encouragement as they are putting all they can to make this game more entertaining in spite of threats and blackmail. Keep it up ICL, you need to sustain , there are sure better days to come !!!
I've been watching ICL over the past week or so and the level of cricket is as good if not better than international cricket. It's a pity these guys are not getting enough coverage whereas the BCCI team is getting bowled out for 76 in a test match. What cricket fans need is good competitive cricket to watch. Who cares if it's ICL or IPL or anything else ? The matches which I've seen were really entertaining, quite a few close finishes and some good hitting and fielding.
