THE IPL SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE AUSSIES WHO ARE NOT PAID AS IS BEING SSAID,SHOULD BE PAID OFF IMMEDIATELY. AS THE BCCI IS ALREADY BEING HEALOUSLY WATCHED AND SIGLED OUT FOR CRITICISM BY THE OTHER CRICKET BOARDS ESPECIALLY CA. HIS WILL GIVE THEM ADDITIONAL FUEL TO FIRE THE BCCI.
THE BCCI MUST SEE THAT THE FRANCHISEE OWNERS COUGH UP THE MONEY AND PAY NOT ONLY THE AUSSIES BUT ALL WHO THEY BID FIR AND WHO PLAYED FOR THEIR FRANCHISES. THIS IS IN ALL FAIRNESS IF WE WANT THE IPL TO BE A SUCCESSFUL LEAGUE FORMAT.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE IPL IS A BRAINWAVE CONJURED UP BY THE BCCI AND WILL HELP INDIAN CRICKET IN A BIG WAY IN THE YEARS TO COME IF IT IS STREAMLINED BY THE TIME THE NEXT VERSION COMES ALONG.
NEW DELHI: The Indian Cricket Board boasts of being the richest body in the game but has not paid its players for the last seven months.
Team India members did not get their payment since the Champions Trophy in October last year. Since then, the cricketers toured South Africa, played home series against West Indies and Sri Lanka before flying to the West Indies for the World Cup without being paid.
BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla sought to play it down and said arrears would be cleared once the contracts are signed by the cricketers.
"The payments were not made because the contracts were not ready. Once the contracts are signed, everything will be cleared. This is not a problem at all," he said.
Incidentally, the players are reportedly unhappy with the present shape of the contract and doubts have been raised whether they would sign it before leaving for the Bangladesh tour.
This is, however, not the first occasion when the cash-rich board delayed payments.
Former team physio Andrew Leipus and even the then coach John Wright faced similar treatment from the board.
Indian vendors know very well how clients act when it comes to releasing payments. Reliance and other big names are known to withhold dues and harass vendors moving their files from person to person. They havent improved.

For your information even Symonds has gone back and gilchrist is playing becoz he has retired from all forms of International cricket
no big deal...what are the aussies afraid of,they just want to lament the image of Indian Cricket,scared they are from the success of IPL,they players who went had been contracted for the series,they went midway,it does not mean that they shall be paid immediately....the series is still on.....thay will be paid by the end of the series.unnecessary making a cry,and the Indian media,as usual jumping to highlight the issue!
