Useless IPL

Cricket is a good games when it is played between countries. IPL is so boring and useless.The same team is repeatedly playing with other same team continueously for day after day.Sometimes I also feel ashamed of this of people of this great india wasting their time for watching this IPL game, istead of doing some creative things for their family or society. I am cricket loving person, still I don't like this nasty IPL.

As far as crowds barring Mohali, some matches in Vizag,Mohali,Kolkatta there are houseful crowds everywhere.Secondly Viewer fatigue is because of never-ending meaningless bilateral International series and not the IPL. Intenational cricket goes on for 300 plus days while IPL goes on only for 45-50 days.Reason cricket is only played seriously in 10 odd countries (it is only in Indian subcontinent where it is No. 1 sport) is because the concept of nation v/s nation sports in 21st century is an anachronistic one as all the most popular sports in the world are club based . For far too long Cricket has treated it's first class teams as mere feeders to the national teams which is very limiting,elitist and exclusive in nature.Nation teams caters to 15 or 16 players at a time where clubs/franchises bases tourney like IPL caters to 200 odd players plus IPL is Godsend for domestic uncapped players who get a platform to showcase there talent. International cricket might be the pinnacle but it is not the be all and end all either.

IPL haters get your facts right ...

Mr Munjal You don't seem to like or rate IPL which is perfectly fine but don't spread falsehoods about it being a boring IPL season or falling ratings.Firstly this IPL season has enjoyed bumper TV Ratings considerably much better ratings then that of the last ICC T20 WC according to the TV Ratings agency BARC,please feel free to Google the facts... Secondly when 6 teams out of 8 in IPL are in contention for a playoff spot till last day then it can hardly be called boring . In IPL anyone can beat anyone unlike international cricket where only 3-4 teams who have all the resources do well but only in there home conditions .IPL is competitive while International cricket is a mismatch. Talking about TV Ratings i would love to compare the ratings of other bilateral series not involving India against that of IPL , needless to say IPL will come out trumps.

It is really a talent display. But, most of the talents at IPL do not perform at national level. Thus it looks like a TV serial rather than a sport event.

More sponsors than players !!!!

It will be better and sensible if the tournament is played throughout the country instead of home ground or otherwise. The whole population will get a glimpse of international stars. By holding at the so called home ground the people of that place will get bored. It will be better if only some of the matches are played and the rest in all whole of the country. This will be revenue boosting also to the BCCI and the centres who have no big matches held in its stadias. Hope the authorities will look into this and for the forthcoming IPLs this is tried.
