If so many players are complaining why BCCI is not removing this distraction? Becoz billionaires have bought the players and they do not bother about real cricket. They want to earn money by achieving better TRP rates on TV..
Don't you folks in India get tired of watching this non athletic gentle sport called cricket. Focus more on swimming,soccer, basketball, tennis etc etc. No outside the subcontinent cares about cricket.

Who cares about outside. if you don't wish to watch that is up to you but don't try to undermine the game. Some of us love it to the hilt. We can say the same for all the games you mentioned but we are not anti sports to us all sports are good and and different people enjoy it just like you enjoy yours. By the way if iI tell you to stop watching any sport and star watching bull fights would you do it. I thought so no you will not nor would I.

Dear Rahul, try bowling atleast two overs at a gentle medium pace of 130 KMPH, and you will get to know whether it is a non-athletic sports or not.

really..........cricket might not be easy. But defintely what Rahul says has a point.
Install headcams in umpire's hat or just make them stand there with a cam over their shoulders (like cameramen at weddings) Technology is making umpires redundant (the inefficient ones) Save their jobs
They r just trying to put bells and whistles to make IPL interesting, and get more viewership. People sitting at home can get up close to players. Next ipl they will have viewers controling the spidercam. They'll ask ppl to send sms - send S-A** to see Sachin's As*, Send Y-A** to see Yuvi's A*s, etc..:) ..Guru..
