With these kind of tactics, the end of the IPL is near. This kind of arrogance and dictator like behavior will cost it. Without coverage from other websites, interest in the event is going to die out. And if they do not attract substantial crowds for these matches, the interest will die out. It's good lesson for Lalit Modi and his cronies.
Any of the WEB Techies out there, could you start a website such as "IPL Sucks" or "Boycott IPL" to tech these IPL/BCCI a lesson. They are trying to monopolize the game in India and World and hoard MONEY.
ICL is lot better option to unearth talent in India and does more good to Indian Cricket than does IPL/ BCCI.
these guys in the bcci have grown too big for their shoes.the national team is losing.the players are busy promoting their own interests.nobody seems to care what is happening to the indian team.in all this,we the viewers are the most to blame.we simply dont care what the bcci is doing.if the bcci has to be taught some lessons,we the people have to take the lead.i appeal to the people to boycott the bcci and ipl until they get their act together.cheer for the indian team but dont treat these people as heroes.no point watching the ipl matches if the national team is losing.and who cares if shahrukh khan beats ambani's team.the players' loyalties has changed.they seem more interested in obeying thier ipl masters.and the man behind all this is busy filling his coffers.

WE have immense respect and hope in the most independent institution in India, that is "Fourth Estate". We urge all the media stalwarts to some good for the country helping in relegating everything related to BCCI into backburner. Please dont cover any BCCI events, especially IPL. These bafoons called Indian Players and Board Members need to be shown their actual worth. I ONCE AGAIN URGE YOU TO PLEASE HELP US, WE DONT WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THE CIRCUS, PORTRAYED AS CRICKET.
