IPL - Going 3D and Online Youtube

[srikarr12]

Was that intended to be sarcasm or was it not because that wink kind of confused me :laugh:laugh

lol YOu really think ICC will run around in every country setting up 3D?

First it would have ask its big brother for permission and if big brother accepts all the proceeds would go to big brother. You can figure out yourself who big brother is.

Well how about the main series like The Ashes, how about for the World Cup you know the events that are more important than IPL.

Unless 3D becomes a popular part of the mainstream (ie. home viewing), international cricket wont embrace 3D telecast. The IPL is trying it off as a marketing tactic (and in their quest to do something that very rare people have done).

Okay go back to school, let me tell you why.You say my post is an EPIC FAIL when your posts has no reason to explain why my post is an epic fail. If you are trying to have a discussion or debate for that matter you must first and most foremost, explain. You think your SO SMART by saying that my post is SO STUPID when you have no reason whatsoever in any point mind it that my posts has any statement wrong with it.

I called it an EPIC FAIL attempt because it was nothing more than a piss poor whining coming from some blind fanboy. Not to mention that the post didn't have anything whatsoever to do with the present topic. If you think that a 35 day long tournament which happens only once in an year is killing cricket, then I can only that your delusional. In such a tight cricket schedule the teams have nowadays, what's so wrong about relaxing a bit and enjoying some T-20 cricket for a month?

And what's with Test cricket being the pinnacle of cricket and Australia being so successful in Tests because they don't care about T-20s and all that crap? Yeah, Test cricket is indeed the pinnacle of cricket and T-20 is not serious at all, point me out a person who disagrees over this. But how is that relevant to the IPL? The IPL is a form of entertainment and will always remain like it. And if a 35 day long entertainment extravaganza burns your skin, then I've nothing to say. I don't get your point about the Australians as well. Not only Australia but every nation cares the least about T-20s and attaches the most importance to formats like Tests and ODIs. This includes the Indians too, otherwise we would never have become the numero one in Test Cricket. T-20 is nothing but a form of light-hearted entertainment, and that's what makes it so special. It can well co-exist with the other two formats and it, instead of killing cricket, IMO is adding extra spice to it. The players and the fans, both view it as a mode of entertainemnt. You have any issues with that?

Then you talk about westernization of cricket and everything. Well, IPL's main target is to catch the Indian audience (it's Indian Premier League), and not people from America or it's surrounding areas. Heck! I don't think it's even telecasted in America! So how can it have a negative influence on the people?

Before 3-D is implemented in international cricket, it needs to be trialled domestically. And the IPL is providing just the platform for this. Implementing this technology in international cricket, without any sort of testing or trialling, will be an imprudent and rash decision.

Test matches? You mean to say people will actually put the 3D glasses on for 6hrs a day (excluding the breaks) for 5 days? :sarcasm

3D technology is not something you can apply for Test matches. Not the Border-Gavaskar trophy, not the Ashes trophy, not the Frank Worrell trophy...

3D entertainment is a lucrative market for the shortest format of the game - T20s. People "might" want to try it for the 50 over format.

And lets not talk about more important. Do you know how many countries is the IPL watchable in and how many countries the CWC can be watched in? Hint- IPL wins hands down. So lets not get into that debate. "Important" is a subjective term and has varied definitions for people

 

[MaD]

WTH! This is just really retarded! What has happened to cricket? WTF is wrong with Modi! OMG! I'm just so pissed! Screw 3D, Screw IPL and screw Modi!

Off topic: Common misspelling of no one . Honestly you don't know how much that gets on my nerves! It's no one not noone!! :laugh

So what, are people going to go to a cinema to watch cricket?

Yeah it could attract more cricket viewers across the world.
If IPL does it first, It'll be goo for the sport in general.

Yeah goo? Good.
And oh how dare i missed a space b/w no and one?

Do you have anything else to say then? Because useless posts do get on my nerves.

Yeah how dare you!! :laugh I get it, I was a bit of a dick for pointing out a small mistake, no need to go to war about it.

Hmmm lets see.... not at this point and time.

There is a reason why they call it IPL yes I know that but tell me something you don't think that a CRICKET FAN who lives anywhere around the world watches the IPL. Like look at the NBA! IT IS NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION RIGHT? National means mainly North American because there is American teams and one Canadian Team.

However, because of the NBA, Basketball is becoming more reconized around the world and now its becoming a large world wide sport. Let me tell you something the same can be said for the IPL, even though its INDIAN doesn't mean that it intends to bring in crowds from all over the world. Modi wants more people to watch the IPL around the world, because the more people means more money if I am correct.

Now lets see yes Indians are number 1 in Tests yes, but that is irrelevant to the topic. Let me ask you an honest question, whenever you watch and IPL match or let's say a T20 match the stands are almost always full of fans and the stadium is always packed right? If you go to a Test Match you will see the big difference between Fans and I can bet my savings on that. The reason is that the GENERAL PUBLIC agrees that T20 is more entertaining and that it should be the number 1 form of cricket.

You and I being actual cricket fans know the difference between actual cricket and a phony form of the game. I have nothing against the IPL because of the whole Pakistan thing like I said before because I think that as a cricket fan, T20 is killing cricket it is my honest opinion if you can see that then my good sir then that's your own problem. And BTW if every nation CARES THE LEAST ABOUT T20s then why is there a T20 World Cup, Pakistan won the T20 World Cup and it was a BIG deal but I think that that was just a phony excuse to seem like Pakistan is great at cricket.

And if you think the IPL is just some lame relaxing vacation for Cricket, I don't know what world you live in. But the IPL is bringing loads and loads of money in. You look at the amount of money these guys are getting auctioned for $750 K for one little 35 day tournament right? People who play for the international side don't even get paid as much as the people in the IPL do, this is why you can see that the IPL/T20 is killing cricket.

BTW the whole 3D thing but wouldn't it be interesting to see a test match in pure 3D. It would be so jokes and plus like if you see an Edge or something it would look so nice.

 

[sohum]

Now I am a true cricket fan and if you go to I don't know Australia and you asks them what is the best game of cricket 9 times out of 10 the person will say a Tests match.

A true cricket fan would watch cricket regardless of whether it was T20, ODIs or Tests or whether the opponents were top-tier teams like India and Australia or developing teams like Afghanistan and Ireland.

Bad timing for this hypothetical example, given that in the recently concluded India-Sri Lanka Test series (a competition which is suffering from over-saturation, by the way) the stands were packed for almost every day of Test cricket.

What if 3D is an epic fail? Wouldn't you prefer an unimportant domestic tournament that is killing cricket would rather take the fall rather than a lot of money getting burnt on an important tournament?

 

[BKB1991]

Hmmm. 3D seems to be an interesting aspect. Sorry for asking an idiotic question, but are the games gonna be shown live or highlights, cuz it would be pointless to waste money on a match that you have already seen, even if it is 3-D

Reading the report, it seems that for the IPL the matches will be telecast live in 3D in cinema theaters in India.

 

[BKB1991]

^^ That wouldnt be bad, extra revenue generated, as the stadiums are usually full. I would love to try this experience out

 

[pcfan123]

It is a pretty good idea. Probably only will work for t20s as RDF mentioned those glasses get annoying to wear for long durations.

No your wrong you know for a fact that the IPL will have the stands more packed then any Test Match for that matter. Yes all those matches had a good amount of people but they are still not as many people as in an IPL match.

Again you honestly believe that a TRUE CRICKET fan is a fan that watches 20 overs of cricket, okay let me tell you, PAKISTAN is the BEST T20 team in the world. PAKISTAN! Like there is not proper cricket skill if Pakistan is the best lol. But mainly like I said before T20 cricket does not show the true battle between a batsmen and a bowler. Like you honestly think that just because the game has a lot of sixes and quick wickets doesn't mean its actual cricket.

Your probably a phony cricket fan who thinks that he knows so much and instead of watching proper cricket and watching tests match. You believe that T20 is more entertaining and 10 out of 10 times you would choose a T20 match over a proper Test Match.

BTW I still think that there have been so many things that have been a failure before in the ICC and having 3D wouldn't be as bad.
