18 Jan- IPL Fixing- Life Ban for Sreesanth, Chavan and Chandilla

[themusketeer]

Is it true that Dhoni said he will not play in IPL if csk gets a ban?

Saw some memes but you can't trust them.

And FB gets crazy.

The company owning the teams are banned, not necessarily the team so if a group of CSK fans on this board can put together a few crores they can purchase team CSK and enter them in next years IPL, well not a legal minded folk but thats what I get from the article on cricinfo.

Yeah...so I'm trying to understand what it means for them. If the current owners don't sell their product (the teams), will it be part of the IPL in 2 years, with the same owners? That doesn't seem justified. The owners should be forced to sell their teams, maybe put in an open bidding process between various companies.

Also, what about the players?

Yeah on my part in all fairness the teams should just be dissolved and perhaps a new franchise formed within the states.

BCCI should actually go ahead and terminate these two franchises and ban them and then bring in completely new owners for these two cities. Why should Chennai and their fans (same with Rajasthan and their fans) lose out on a team just because a crook like Meiyappan and his father-in-law N Srinivasan decide to indulge in such dirty acts. Also the players themselves have not indulged in wrongdoings.

Ban India Cements and Raj Kundra's company. Get new owners for Chennai and Jaipur. Give the teams the option of retaining the existing set of players or do a mini auction with just these players in the pool (and anyone else who is still unsold). Get a new name for these teams. This is what should ideally happen.

Lol another senseless response, from a guy taking a bunch of ppl mucking about, too seriously.

Try harder dude seriously.

Dude your comments doesn't make any lick of a sense.

Sai last I checked MSD the CSK captain was on the board of India cements

Yeah maybe if you were less of a thicko ... you would have had no need to post that. Try some extra classes for English.

I have a feeling that Chennai and Jaipur might not have IPL teams anymore. Firstly, they have this issue. On top of that both teams have stadium problems. RR didn't play a single game in Jaipur last time. And we all know of the issues that MA Chidambaram stadium has had. The stands have been sealed off forever and it just lost out on hosting WorldT20 games. On top of that, the local govt doesn't allow SL players to play

Might as well give it to other cities like ahmedabad or something.

Banning Chennai might cost BCCI a lot from a revenue perspective because Chennai generates a lot of cash and brings in high TV ratings also. My take is that these two teams should be allowed to retain a maximum of 5 players as long as the values of the players doesn't cross a fixed amount, say 20 crores. The ownership, etc must obviously change but taking the two cities out of the IPL? Too harsh.

 

[Aalay]

Well Rajsthan did use Ahmedabad stadium as their home ground in last IPL season so it would make sense to give Ahmedabad a nod for the new franchise.

 

[themusketeer]

India Cements got banned. Does it mean CSK can be bought by others?

I think it will be a mockery of cricket again if the teams are not dissolved completely. And it is highly possible that they might not be dissolved.

And like I said, it is not harsh at all. I dont see why these cities should to be the "home" of a franchise when they are unable to host matches in the city itself. M A Chidambaram is obviously not upto the standards and RCA dispute is still on going.

About revenue - in a cricket crazed nation like India, finding revenue generating cities would hardly be an issue. Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, Sardar Patel Stad in Ahmedadbad - both have 50-60k capacity. Teams from UP/Gujarat will generate as much interest, as teams from TN/Rajasthan imo

 

[SaiSrini]

Seriously, why should Chennai's fans be robbed of a team when they have stood by it so passionately? In terms of team fan loyalty, Chennai is definitely among the Top 3 so far in IPL history. And that too, without any Bollywood/regional movie star backing it. Chennai/Tamil Nadu is too big a region to be not given an IPL team. A lot of non-CSK fans have themselves been expressing mourning over the suspension of CSK from IPL.

You either give a new owner/team for the city or the current owners come back after two years. And India Cements are strong enough to withstand for two years and then make a re-entry into IPL.

 

[abhi_jacko]

I explained very well why I think Chennai shouldn't get a franchise. Incomplete and unfit stadium. Political issues preventing Sri Lankan players from participating. If these two are sorted out, then by all means have a Chennai team. But these are only my concerns, that do not apply in the real world
