Shane Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 No' date=' it's not - it's basically an Indian league where 7 out of the 11 have to be from India and even there 2 of them have to be under 19 or something. I can't see England or South Africa generating any major crowds for it.[/quote'] With a sprinkling of International Stars, major crowds, may be not ??? but it wont be deserted I think Indians living abroad would love this idea, but the main target of the IPL is undoubtedly the television viewership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outsider Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 But like the idiom, "Every dark cloud has a silver lining", this will provide our domestic cricketers with experience in completely foreign conditions to most which can only be good for Indian cricket in the long run - though T20 is not the ideal format to gain that experience.

vipin Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 In one way its a bit of a shame. A country of a billion can't secure an election and a cricket event simultaneously. But it also could be the experience some of the domestics require to take their game to the next level. Infact the way i would have it, we should have the IPL in india but the duleep and the deodhar trophy etc etc outside the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cochise Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 We have our feral neighbours to thank for the IPL being held outside India. This is what happens when you live next to Freddie Kruger and family...no one wants to come and visit you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Sharma Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 England is a better option than SA. Anyways the matches will be held in their daytime and I dont see them makin much profits regardless of where it is held. Also 180+ runs wont be scored that often and it will be interesting to see how the TV viewesrhip reacts to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegovegaz Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 when, a few months ago, it was suggested to hold the ipl in england, it seemed a stupid idea but, it has turned out to be the most logical decision this is the best decision the bcci could have taken to save the ipl it is a very very welcome move england seems to be a certain venue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msb1991 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 England iwll be extremely difficult as it will overlap with parts of the domestic season and so there won't be many grounds available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desi Cartman Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 whats the point ? IPL in SAF :banghead: why couldnt they delay it by a month ? why couldnt they decide on just 3-4 venues where security wont be a big issue say like Goa, bhopal , gwalior, cochin etc and have the games there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desi Cartman Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Coz Melbourne is not an option :--D No other window left in the calender, other than April-May 2010 and why not play in Goa , bhopal etc where security can be managed easily plus the state govt doesnt have many issues holding the games ?

As for the other venues you mentioned,don't think those states would have taken the responsibility since Home Ministry was always against IPL taking place in India during polls.
