Recently there was an Ad in the TV, in which Mr. Modi boasts IPL as his dream. But in reality its just copied from ICL, which was run by Zee network. I am not sure why Zee Network is not patenting this show and sueing Mr. Modi and BCCI

zee network will patent what ? the league system.. the youll want to patent the concept of a match where there is a winner and loser.. who has the rights to that patent.. the olympians of greece from 2000 years ago!!
It is the game of people who go to watch and enjoy so Mr.Modi cannot decide the fate of ICL to be recognised .I appeal to all who watch and enjoy the game of cricket not to recognise this unrecognised to people Mr. Modi.People have rejected you Mr. Modi .Go and dance with the filmy people and never come to mass for recognition
ICL WAS FORMED TO BRING THE PRECIOUS TALENT OF SOME SPLENDID UNKNOWN YOUNGSTERS TO INTERNATIN- AL LEVEL.THERE WAS NO LEAGUE TO PERFORM THIS TASK WHEN ICL WAS SET.BCCI HAS MADE A POLITICS OUT OF CRICKET,SO MANY UNWANTED PLAYERS JOINED ICL TO GIVE A BETTER SHAPE TO THEIR TALENT AND CAREER.JEALOUS OF ICL,BCCI GAVE IT NO RECOGONISATION AND CONSIDERED IT AS REBEL.

PLAN IS GOOD BUT NOT IN THE LANGUAGE OF BCCI.BCCI WAS MADE TO CONTROL CRICKET BUT IT IS MISRULING IT.SO A BIG CONTROVERCY HAS CAUGHT FIRE.SOME ORGANISATION MUST DISSOLVE BCCI JUST LIKE HOCKEY FEDARATION.
I am in favour of IPL anytime... ICL is not solving any purpose.. Just one could be done for sure... Players playing in ICL should not be banned from National or State Level selection... These selectipons shud be done purely on Performance basis

This modi cannot equal even one tenth of what ICL has done without BCCI support It is childish on BCCI/IPL to refuse recognition IPL has copied ICL and what he is tomtoming about.BCCI and IPL are pocketing lots of money. Allow ICL also and allow both of them to show who is the best.As a paying public we are entitled to see the best.In IPL it was pathetic to watch Ganguly,Dravid and tendulkar and still they speak of choosing their time to quit!!

yeah, ipl is a cheap rip-off of icl, even though its an expensive version, and everone involved making money off the hapless public, which has no choice but accept the bcci version of cricket in india. its nothing but monopoly secured through financial and political clout.
the entire ipl reeks of commercialization on large scale. there's no one to question ipl, modi and bcci. some randm board decides that cricket belongs to it, because it has the money, and political muscle.
