who is modi is he a cricketer, no than who the hell make him commisioner of IPL. Kapil bhai u r doing a wonderful job with ICL. We all cricket lovers r watching it and you r rocking. We feel the regional players r playing a much bigger part in ICL than IPL. IPL has increased the limit of foreign players to 10 from 8, it will surely prohibit the participation of local talent. We love ICL and wants it to become the real cricket body goverened by cricketers.
Excuse me everyone... modi did not copied it from ICL... The planning IPL of was started way 2 years back on the same lines of English Premier league... I agree it has the same playing format but it is not solving any kind of purpose... ICL is cricket just playing for the fun, they distributed the teams on there own... If u compare IPL with EPL thn its fine but IPL is not copied from ICL.. one day u will see some other corporate giant starts a tournament, he will ask for recognition which is not posssible...

Modi was born with IPL tag. His parents kept wondering for so many years to figure out what does IPL mean. In Modi's words "Mainnne kabhbhi haar nee manni...". He kept on working so hard to get a pappi from Priety zinta and kept roaming around her in that Slapgate match, but hard luck, he didn't get it. Again he said "Mainnne kabhbhi haar nee manni...". And finally, Tata Indicom gave him a jhandu type ad....!! And then he got success....!!

vijit you yourself say it has the same playing format of the ICL, then how can you say its not copied? Why did Lalit Modi and IPL wait for ICL to take place? Did they want to see how it worked? Why did they block every accesss for ICL???
What pyramid are you talking about. Pyramid controlled by BCCI? In 5 years, BCCI will be finished. BCCI has become the cesspool of corruption and is led by a group of arrogant non-cricketers who are only interested in making money and who dont know a b c of cricket.

Exactly....I have some more better words to add to thakur's comments..lol...i agree wid thakur...
Is Modi the ultimate authority? Has ICC abducted their power in favour of Modi? Bravo ICC. Bravo BCCI. Your days of monoploistic dealings are numbered. Wait till ICL goes to courts to stop it.
Its nothing but a waste of money.Money flows to cricketers who have loads of money.Modi said that ICL wants to makes money.Then what is he doing??Anyways he is not the brain behind such a tourmament.So he should stop acting as if he did.To be frank BCCI is nothing but an organization filled with people who want to make money at the expense of young cricketers.Ban cricket in India.Play Football.Atleast they can come up and may be win a world cup in future which cricketers will never able to do again.
