The BCCI's arrogance for it's monopoly over the game is quite ridiculous. How else could one explain their barring of counties which has ICL cricketers from their tentatively scheduled Champions League. If the BCCI were really interested in the development of the game then they wouldn't have taken such extreme measures against ICL. Moreover, India XI's matches in the second edition of ICL were defenitnely worth watching.
Its boring & noone even knows the team very well. All the players r those who r either retired or whom r not in a hunt to get chance in a team. ICL is proving nothing in front of IPL. On top of it the commentry during ICL matches is horrible. Al ia all a flop show of flop cricketers.
i am not sure how many hav u seen last season of ICL but it was really worth anything...great match..competitive and good game..only negative thing..Zero Publicitiy both by print and TV media...these people are only interested in buttering BCCI and getting closer to them...hence anyone offending dictate of big Boss is showed away.. 2. Bicci ensured no grounds were given to them.. its good to see this time they have got 4 venues... 3. this time..a good hype.. guys do watch ICL if want to have good cricket..than all super hyped IPL or maybe current test series...
i have seen few matches of icl 1st edition it was really worth watching,whereas IPL was worst watching except jaipur and chenai team, i have watch all ICL matches of current edition, players are dedicated and hard working, and we have get relief from atleast money hungry tendulakar.

How much Subhash chandra paid you to write good thing about ICL? I saw one the opening ceremony and 1st match last week. It looked like extremely poor cousin of IPL...No comparison..

Hey Trueman....who ever you are? I know your feeling about the unknown guys and i support you on that. But dont abuse guys like Tendulkar. They have earned the respect and they deserve it. If you call Tendulkar foolish, you are a worthless man.

It is really great to watch most of the ICL players palaying excellent cricket. Even the major newspapers are partial and not giving out the details. They always try to under report the events even though ICL matches are more interesting.
How many teams are playing? where the game is scheduled? Is there anyone watching? Is there any TV channel telecasting? What is the TRP rating? Is it worth watching?

thank you trueman. Some people got this habit of barging in anywhere with comments totally unconnected with topics under discussion. Nobody is interested in some Obscure world records.
