the ban on ICL players should be lifted soon. It is for the benefit of the players and how can BCCI ban the players. It would be better if someone goes for PIL against BCCI.
This match is not covered by any news channel other than Zee ....Why ? Good young Indian cricket players who r not selected by BCCI for their pliticl reasons did very well in ICL .I think ICL should have teams like India , NZ, Aussi etc instead of MIXED players team ..this will give NATIONALIST feeling to the crowd.They can have best of 5 match with India 11 , now that ICL has entire Pak -A team with them.With out nationalist feeling the is no CHARM !!
Even before ball is bowled BCCI trumpets of IPL over ICL its achievement that is HYPE. BCCI was the only Board to vote against a Twenty20 world Cup- this is Hypocrisy SRK/Mally & CO -that is Hijack
ICL was said that it will give Indian talent a chance... the average rural player could get chance to make it big.... then IPL followed... finally we see... all International players playing... once again ignoring domestic players and ofcourse... money meant to be for ranji and other first class is routed here.... this is really sad

its only entertenment show there has cricket, music,star, fun, food, enjoy on ground fully paisa vasoor.
The main problem with the ICL is not the lack of star power or marketing skills .It is simply that the teams have not naturally grown .They are simply a collection of players placed into varius teams by Kapil Dev ? . They are not franchised teams either which could have had an opportunity to grow into cohesive unita with a fan base .Till this is solved I see little hope for the ICL .
This was bound to happen. ICL was bound to flop in front of IPL not because of poor marketing skills or money but because of star power and recognisition. Subash Chandra has as big money as BCCI.With due repsects to ICL people will not spend money on to watch the likes of Badani,Gavaskar or Kumaran along with some retired international stars who are past their prime. The ICL idea is good but looking from a business angle which Chandra would look at this is a big flop.IPL is on good wicket compared to ICL.
any one heard of bhupender singh jr of punjab, javed zaman of assam, kanwaljit singh of hyderabad...above all r former cricket players who had the talent and potential of rohit sharma, ishanth sharma and harbhajan singh...bcci never gave them a back door opportunity too....today we have players like ssriram , dinesh mongia, r sodhi, jp yadav...and many more who have got a platform to prove their mettle....lets support them guys...everyone has a right to play cricket......who is bcci to stop them....
