if one has to go by the contracts, players will be at beck and call of the franchise owners. If Andrew Symonds is asked to wear a sporting gear bearing words %u201CB%u2026 M%u2026.%u201D, he will have no choice but to wear it and behave like a one. Brett Lee may have to wrap himself in %u201CBombay Dyeing%u201D towels and parade in front of his one time flame Preitty Zinta, who owns him now. Shohaib Akhtar may find himself getting bashed to bones by King Khan in his next film and singing to the tune of %u201Ckya hua tera wada%u201D. But players from Vijay Mallya%u2019s franchise need not worry. They will have time of the life. Riding through-breed horses, driving formula cars, flying private jets, holidaying on private luxury-boats and of course, drowning themselves in beer with fast girls. Who the hell wants to play cricket, mate?
Jokes apart, will Brett Lee pump his fists in the air on dismissing Ricky Ponting and show him the way to the pavilion? Will Sreesanth let his temper loose on Dhoni and give him a mouthful? Will Bhaji yell teri maki at Yuvraj? Will Warne say f%u2026.. to Mathew Hayden?

You said it well!!! I just don't get sense loading up teams with the foreign players. How will this be good for the local cricket? I wish the money were spent to excel our players rather.
Atleast I personally care less about this IPL drama..
Please, use your brain dear malya, and do not buy any non-indians. have some 15 to 20 indians (not just karnatakians) in your team, with a good mixture of old and young. and spend your money on coaching them and providing good facility. you see, they will beat the best in the world. indians have the potentiality, just that somebody has to recognise it and nurture it.
this way u will do a great service to india and her sports. ppl will remember you as having contributed to the future of indian cricket.

Perhaps as Financial Controller, responsible for doing finacial deals with counter-parties (other teams) to fix/throw games. ;-)
