Re: IPL by Ram on Apr 12, 2011 08:45 PM No doubt that entire India hails cricket! It is a pity that thouse who played for India are auctioned and purchased to play teams owned by individual owns business/corporate/ stars. Rich people used to own horses/pet dogs animals as a past time.Purchasing heros whom the entire India adore just reminds centuaries back slave auctions! Thouse who got sold in this money trade sould realise their real values in society and avoid IPL.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: IPL is not cricket by rama anne on Apr 11, 2011 07:10 AM Your logic is flawed It does not whip up regional feelings it binds them why ??? Chennai or Delhi or Bangalore have all sorts of people There are sikhs in automiobile business in Chennai likewise Tamils in Mumbai Having a city like feel and sports fan does not dent anything IPL is a dessert and Indian cricket team is main lunch for all Indians That is why whole India celebrated when it won world cup Having local heros and national heros can co exist it depends on peoples response I do not think fake and manufactured enthusiasm at all for four seasons - Fake will survive once or twice it will not survive four editions at all ================================== IPL is a league do not confuse league cricket with National Team cricket and confuse others ============================== Regionalism is wronlgly exploited by politicians so if you want to root out such regionalism then take a stand against a politician who provokes such feelings and make sure they do not have any future and divide people    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: ipl .It is a curse, Waste of time&money by rama anne on Apr 11, 2011 07:17 AM Ram Those who do not have food and water ,shelter - will need those Those who do have a job and food ,water ,shelter do need entertrainment so it is a matter of balance I guess As indian economy grows ,you just cannot force our young indians to just do meditation or yoga and keep quiete ,they need activities like sports either they have to play or watch them with family to play then you need facilities for 1.2 billion people,that is why Movies played a major part before But now middle class india needs activities - yes Golf courses ( a few rich still not accessible to many ) so waht is the answer ? Theme parks - again space contsraints and poor urban planning only other option is make use of aviation sector in india and get away to kulu manali or some resort ?again deals and it depends on availability so warm summer days and people like to come out in evening to let some steam out so if not IPL suggest some thing else and let us see its merits and accessibility    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: ipl .It is a curse, Waste of time&money by Ram on Apr 12, 2011 06:50 AM Colonies liberated from British rulers alone gives importance to cricket. Watching the game is no doubt an entertainment.India gives too much importance to cricket .The war is now between ICC and IPL. Pep or cola is another. Giving too much importance to cricket and spening on it both time ,money is the right of individuals who loves cricket. Our young kids start playing cricket in streets use the tennis balls available with a bat/stick and enjoy spending time.Infact there is no facility to them to play real cricket. India is not able to get any medal in Olympic because there is no encouragement to the games recognised.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: ipl .It is a curse, Waste of time&money by om shanti on Apr 11, 2011 10:27 AM But,don't you think that IPL is the gate way to convert tax payers' money earned thru scams from black to white by Sharad Pawar and ilk? What is your take on this? Can we keep our eyes closed because some people are getting entertained from this match fixing,scam gateway? Is IPL not like another horse race of Hassan Ali Khan where cricketers are like horses and Mukesh Ambani is like a stud ?    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re : Some are doing Charity ,,,jobs will also be created by rama anne on Apr 09, 2011 12:07 PM BCCI ,cricketers ,IPl OWNERS should sit together when Indian cricket team is busy in a claendar year (that means they are touring a country ,or playing at home ) involving more than one team(like Comm ban series ODI in australia) or test series players will be tired ,indian public is also following them ,in that calendar year ,if already a lot of cricket is played IPL can either shorten its format or bid for players outside teams (fresh talent from india ) or just skip that year ? it will be better for brand value and everyone as well    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re : Laws of Business is not oppose it refine it by rama anne on Apr 09, 2011 11:50 AM it is fair to say that INDIAN people are very innocent and love the game ,many are genuine followers with only Cricket as sport unless indians improve in Hockey and win world titles as well =============================== Australia has ARL,AFL etc England has EPL and others (English Premier League) ============================= why is anything remotely indian tagged with corruption by some people ? can we indians not have our own professional sports league ?why not -------------------------- I find some hypocrites from west -- indians consume Coke,pepsi buy beoing planes etc from west that is all ok why only IPL is an issue from west ? is it not a bit of Double standard ? arm twisting india? =============================== World Cup 2011 went with out a hitch and very smooth in indian sub continent so what is the problem and issue ? Actual fact is --- Revenue going to indian based owners probably in all fairness we deserve this IPL - becuase most TV viewers and stadium viewers are from INDIA TO be honest so it is our own money we did not get it from some other country to start with also all players get a chance to play and each season every part of worlds players are paid highest bid price ? so what is the issue ? jealousy ? prejuidice ? what else ?    Forward   |   Report abuse
