Alleged match fixing in the IPL

[Bevab]

The IPL is complete BS. And Shastri has to be the most biased commentator along with Gavaskar. Both are BS.

Couldn't agree more with both of your points.

I hate to be the one defending the IPL because personally I find it boring. It's average batsmen spanking below average bowlers all over the place on dead pitches. Yes there are the odd international stand outs and yes there are some matches where the bowlers have their say but it's not often.

The reason I believe IPL is a necessary evil is because it attracts a new and young audience to the sport. I've spoken to quite a few friends, many of whom are female and they are starting to like cricket. IPL is a great introduction. It is then up to the ICC and individual cricket boards to keep these new recruits interested and not just "IPL fans".

I would agree that IPL has created more fans of cricket than it has destroyed.

Just to keep you guys informed, the treasurer and secretary of the BCCI-IPL have resigned:

And now the IPL chairman has resigned. Legendary stuff. If Srinivasan continues after all this, the whole setup is a farce.

 

[Satan666]

He may remain as head, the organization is shameless.

 

[zeustrojanstark]

Srinivasan to 'Step Aside' and not 'Step Down'.

 

[Bevab]

That's better than not stepping anywhere. Although he should've gone, I'll at least welcome that though.


Still, this organisation is a farce.

Who better than Untouchables666 could have started a thread, directly pointing the Indians.

Request the moderators todelete this thread.
Otherwise this would only lead to racist attacks.

It was news, don't see the big fuss you're making.

And the idea behind bringing up these early posts ?
Btw, the thread name wasn't the same as it is now, and this

I didn't know it was an old thread, and the point still stands. Normally when you read a thread you start at the beginning, strange tradition but I don't like to go against convention

Let's just forget it and move on.
