Yes India will for sure !!!!

Modi's problems are nothing new to Indian cricket. Pawar had problems with Dalmiya and vice-versa. Those cases continue to be in the courts. However, Modi going to jail will not spell the end of the IPL unlike ECB's Golden Goose Stanford. Again, the IPL involves some major Indian corporates, not one shady where-did-he-come-from "entrepreneur

Will be wonderful to see what they would do once they realize how Lalit Modi and other jokers are found guilty of fraud in BCCI. After all, politicians wish to jump in to any entity wherever there is money. Will they ban BCCI?

Sir Allen Stanford
by Full of Joy on Feb 18, 2009 10:35 AM

The Securities and Exchange Commission said the financier had orchestrated "a fraudulent, multi-billion dollar investment scheme".
The SEC said the fraud was "based on false promises and fabricated historical return data".
English cricket bosses have pulled out of sponsorship talks with Sir Allen.
The charges against Sir Allen, three of his companies and two executives of those companies followed a raid by US marshalls on the Houston, Texas, offices of Stanford Financial Group.
We are alleging a fraud of shocking magnitude that has spread its tentacles throughout the world

Rose Romero, SEC
A US judge has frozen the assets of Sir Allen and the other defendants as well as those of the Stanford Group, its Antigua-based subsidiary Stanford International Bank (SIB) and another subsidiary, investment advisor Stanford Capital Management.
A receiver has been appointed to "preserve assets for investors", the SEC said.
'Close circle'
Sir Allen last year promoted the Stanford cricket series which saw a West Indian all-star team - the Stanford Superstars - beat an England team for a $20m prize.
US marshalls swoop on Stanford HQ

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) suspended sponsorship negotiations with him following the fraud charges.

Dear Arul:

You are exactly right. The England team is highly overrated. Both Pieterson and Flintoff are ordinary players and a lot of unnecssary hype is created by the media. Paying 1.5 Million US Dollars for these players is indeed the height of idiocy.

arul u r corect. eng players didnt deserve those high bucks. how can they get such a huge amt when there r many ind gr8s who hv delivered when it mattered most esp in odis, t20s.
eng players r not match winners else, they wudnt hv lost to ind 5-0 or 7-0 (had they completed the tour).
v r crazy for white ppl so as to pay more to them.
