What's wrong with that?
What i hate is this issue regarding the overseas players

i just think it's a bit silly that a player could potentially be playing for 2 or 3 teams depending on what happens domestically.

it's going to be a bit boring if every single year the same players do but for different teams. you want to see new players and a good team ethic.

it would suck if the football CL had someone like rooney turning out for milan, man u or barcelona depending on who made it.
 
He he...i can see where you're coming from but,this is the harsh reality and nothing can be done to prevent it unfortunately.
Cricket needs some law and order to be enforced on it!
 
it does if this sort of thing is going to be taken seriously.

does anyone know anything about south african domestic cricket out there. I know a little about new zealand's, sri lanka's (Well at least i've seen a good few of the players in their teams at some point) and australia's. And I'm up to speed with the english and ipl teams.

the saffer teams though, no idea. never heard of most of them, anyone any idea what level they're at?
 
Not all,but two of them in particular are incredibly strong.
Cape Cobras and Nashua Titans (didn't qualify this year)
They are pretty good and can give their IPL counterparts a real run for their money!
 
I guessed so :/
I hope at least 1 or 2 of the IPL/south african/australian sides go out in the 1st round, but I have my dounts. Ideally I'd like as many countries represented in the 2nd group stage as possible.

Yeah I know abit...

The Eagles have a very strong team, Rilee Rossouw is probably one of the best young batsmen in the world, they're in a pretty strong group though.
 
Mumbai, 6 October 2009 - The Garden City of Bengaluru will be the epicentre of Indian and global cricket fans alike as the Airtel Champions League Twenty20 kicks-off tomorrow night. The cricketing quotient aside, fans will be treated to an eye-catching line-up of entertainers at the Grand Opening Ceremony at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.



The Opening Ceremony, executed by DNA Entertainment Networks, promises to be a breath-taking visual extravaganza which will showcase world-class international acts and the global nature of the tournament. It promises to be the most extensive half hour of entertainment ever conceived and executed in India.



Just prior to the commencement of the Opening Ceremony, the 12 team captains participating in the inaugural edition of the Airtel Champions League Twenty20 will exchange team flags and take the "MCC - Spirit of Cricket" oath to respect their opponents, their teams and their umpires. The captains will then leave their handprints in clay, as an attestation to play the game within the spirit of cricket. Meanwhile 200 school children will perform a choreographed sequence to the Airtel Champions League Twenty20 theme song before revealing the team logos and releasing balloons.



The Opening Ceremony's entertainment will then kick-off in earnest with 12 world-renowned Japanese drummers electrifying the atmosphere within Chinnaswamy Stadium. This will be followed by international dancers in "Michelle Ferranti's" costumes.



Legendary Grammy award winner CHAKA KHAN will then take centre stage to entertain the crowd and viewing audience with her hit single "I FEEL FOR YOU".



Chaka Khan will be followed by the acrobatic Cube Artists. Next on from China, will be a choreographed group of Shaolin Monks displaying Tai Chi, Kung Fu and powerful Chi Kung movements in an adrenalin-packed sequence, surrounded by the agile Kalaripayattu Artists using an ancient South Indian art form. The weaponry, choreography and fast-paced techniques by these Indo-Chinese performers will leave the audience spellbound as it will depict the aggression and spirit with which the Airtel Champions League Twenty20 will be played.



World renowned reggae artist and Grammy Award winner SHAGGY will then perform his hit single "FEEL THE RUSH", accompanied by a multi-coloured laser show which will encase the entire stadium. To complement this, eight wind dancers will engulf the stadium to give fans a surreal effect.



British pop star JAMELIA will then take over with her international super hit song "SUPERSTAR".



For the grand finale, all the artists, including the children, will converge onto the field to a synchronized segment of lights, laser, concert sound and a display of fireworks that will come together to make for a spectacular climax.



Tickets have been priced attractively between INR 200/- to 1500/- and are available online at www.ticketgenie.in. Tickets are also available at the venue and at multiple outlets in the city like select Café Coffee Day and UCO Bank branches.

Who cares about this tournament.
 
full josh ke sath
maidan mein utrenge
6 single ke jagah
ek sixer maarenge
boundary line ki doori ko mita denge
todenge,phodenge
koi mauka na chhodenge,
apne sharhar ka naam hum roshan karenge
yeh dilli ki team hai boss,
front foot pe khelenge

Its funny I really have no interest in this one at all. Even though its 20-20 and I will be seeing most of the guys for first time.

:(
 
Well,mate..though it has some similarities with IPL,this won't be half as interesting because of obvious reasons.
