Our India has equal/better principles of constitution for Democracy, free-speech and free-market on paper compared to western democracies like the USA. In a way, I am exercising my "right to opinion" in our free-speech and free-market country to voice against an organisation which is going against free-market principles like HOLDING-all-cricket-grounds, black-mailing cricketers, affliates and even sponsors. Man, I dont know, why no law enfrocement body is suing BCCI. When BCCI started IPL with same intentions like ICL, why should ICL be discriminated. Mr.Chandra, think this step from ICC as harbinger of good signs for ICL. The next step from ICC should be...any player playing in ICL will be considered to play for their respective countries. NO BAN. Hey Mr. Vijay, Mr.Khan, Mr.Mukesh..all you big pocketed folks..we will watch ICL and not your hyped, star-studded IPL. Thanks ICC, you have shown that you will not be eaten by BCCI. A bunch of people who claim to run BCCI, which is not a public-listed company (but only a private organisation) and has made a transaction of over a Billion-US-Dollars in overnight and claim to start a new lifted-concept called IPL by monopolising the whole business of cricket, without any prethought, that someday some court-of-law might give any decisions against that organisation (may be in India or may in England or Australia)

I am skeptical and as a tax-paying citizen of this nation, I have no problem in spending some time on this and raising the voice against this gambling game which could ultimately effect common-man coz our obsesssion for the game will rise the cost of services, we live daily. Billion-dollared Big businesses should be run only run by public-listed-companies.

will not watch STAR-TV (low-brand-valued-Australians owning the Jaipur team)...I will watch ZeeTV (hamara Indian) channels.
When I can live my life happily with easy alternative options, why should I watch IPL. Never.
Plz take control of BCCI and provide quota in Cricket. Yourself or your wife can only provide a decent platform for India's Minorities & other weaker sections of society. Kindly take control of BCCi and also use your good offices to ensure that South Africa and other Criket Boards follow the quota system.
