Champions League 2014 *CSK wins the title !!!*

[_Sam_]

No English teams because it clashes with the county season.

Would be nice to see teams from each of the 10 nations if possible.

By one week, the scheduling could quite easily have been adjusted slightly like in the past. Like I said earlier, I agree and think an ICC controll
ed event would have been much better with the 10 winners of every domestic tournament (and maybe chuck in a few second places to qualify if need be).

It's more or less an extension of the IPL now.

Including 4 IPL teams, when even second placers of some leagues need to play qualifiers is for sure not acceptable,but what could we do?

In that sense, only 3 IPL teams are included because the 4th one has to go through qualification. Actually, IPL is the most popular league and hence it's 3 teams. Pakistan's league is the least popular and that's why even it's winner has to make through the qualification to play the champions league.

So everyone agrees the league is based on popularity rather than a fair system.That is the same thing I meant with that post

The IPL was conceptualized by the Indians in partnership and with support from the Australian and South African boards. Hence the Aussies and Safricans have two automatic spots each. Hence the IPL having 3 automatic spots and one qualifier.

Ironically enough the inaugural tournament was won by an Australian team with no IPL team making the semi final. We ask why? Basically after this competition the IPL teams had the best T20 players on their teams, when it came to the CLT20 in the following tournaments the players obviously stayed with their IPL teams over the their domestic teams since the Indian league offered them more money.

If we had the foreign players opting out of the IPL, all the Indian sides would also have to go through the qualifiers as the Paks and Kiwis!

And England just get no teams at all . Sad I think because they'd put up a good fight.

I myself am a great fan of his... I am in fact, fan of all the New Zealand cricketers. They are so humble.
