Should BCCI send the Indian team to CT or No?

[kubrickian]

Skipping CT will not be a bad move. Its a useless tournament anyway. Nothing to prove there as we have won the tournament twice. 

 

The fact is BCCI got screwed of the revenue it rightly deserves. Other boards took an opportunity to gang up so they can take their pound of flesh. This is not acceptable. Playing CT will be an act of compliance and going along with this day light robbery.

 

BCCI has to plan long term and play it smartly and needs to take tough decisions. Other than CA and ECB, world cricket is a big zero and its a non existent sport pretty much everywhere. Without BCCI's revenue, other boards will be screwed pretty badly and they will back BCCI sooner rather than later. Just need to get a few members to back us to turn the tide against CA and ECB and its game over. 

[kubrickian]

Just need to get Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, WI boards to back BCCI and promise them tours over the next 5-10 years. 

 

Remember that India will generate even more revenue for cricket in the coming future with a rising middle class and IPL will get bigger. No other sport will even be remotely popular compared to cricket in India in the near future.  I cant see other smaller boards sticking it out against BCCI for too long because they will stand to lose a lot. 

 

I can see this happening but BCCI needs to put its foot down and show who's boss. If BCCI complies with this current resolution and goes along with it, it could set a precedent for future where it will get screwed out of more of its revenue.

For some people who are saying this extra revenue will go into some babus pockets, I would rather have this money stay with BCCI and then implement reforms to reduce corruption and make sure they go into developing cricket in India and associate nations than have the money go outside, especially to terrorist havens like Pakistan or already rich fat guys like Giles Clarke and others in ECB and CA.

Read your earlier post on the subject, where does it say domestic? I will post it again here:

Isn't that what I was asking for? I asked specifically if BCCI has a plan to use these additional funds or they are just asking for them because they feel entitled to them. I don't disagree that they are entitled to more funds, but I would like to see how these funds are actually going to help our country to see whether it is even worth holding the CT to ransom. This is a big deal if we cannot participate in an ICC tournament. On past experience, these funds are going to land up in someone higher up's pockets and a small pittance of that will go to some meaningful contribution.

 

 

 

 

 

That is where the new recorms by SC are going to help

IPL is a golden goose..Too much and imposition of IPL, will definitely will kill it.

I don't think so. It can be expanded and more players from other countries bought off. More people in India watch IPL than other forms of cricket

Guess what will happen if Pakistan did this ? Rules are rules no matter what.  

Pakistan has just refused to tour Bangla, misusing the fact that they are a stronger board

Definetely more than they watch test cricket and odis.

 

I think BCCI should seriously think about two ipl seasons to avoid spectator fatigue.Increase no of teams to 10 and then 12.

 

BCCI should also work towards encouraging local leagues through out the year

Bought off how? If top international players choose IPL instead of their national team, their board will simply cancel their contract and might now allow them represent their country.

For Australians and England players, Ashes is more important than some local team in IPL. Every cricket players wants to represent their country not some local IPL team except Pakistan(duh, $$$) and WI.

Why is everyone is so interested to playing more useless T20? Two IPL season in a year? Jesus Christ.

 

I would rather have more test matches and ODI Tri-series than watch IPL everyday.

Let's make more money and make ODIs and Test disappear.

For the present crisis, having two IPLs is not a solution.

If things don't work out with ICC....the 2 ipls or extended ipl is the answer.

It is also ego thing that we are richer than others and that game can't continue if we don't participate. That is "ego" and "arrogance" to me.

 

 

Tics you need to understand the politics at play here. Its not so simple and straightforward. 

BCCI are basically being fleeced by ECB and CA and if it takes a boycott of an ICC tournament then that's how it should be.

If the other boards were concerned about the welfare of the game, they shouldn't have pulled this sneaky move and put BCCI in this position. 

They were fully aware this was a real possibility when they redrew the contract, now they must face the consequences of their actions.

 

The reality is, BCCI has done a tremendous amount to commercialise the sport and bring in huge sponsors and deserve fair compensation to fund the sport and facilities in the country. Just 10 years ago fans moaned about conditions of the grounds and their facilities in India. Now look at the difference. Those things don't happen for free. If we want to continue that improvement and growth, funding is required.

Its absurd despite having to support more grounds and cricketers than all the other countries combined (I pulled this from my ass, but I doubt its far from the truth) and bringing in all that revenue we should take such a small cut from the coffers

[Gollum]

If this country has any pride left, we shouldn't play CT, no submission to goras and Pakistan. 

[Iconoclast]

BCCI put itself in a lose lose situation.

 

If they pull out not only to they lose $280M they also risk future repercussions.

 

If they send a team then the ICC correctly called their bluff and they look stupid.

 

Best option would have been to accept the 400M and and negotiate for more concessions. They could have easily made up the rest of the money with a little bit more IPL or an extra tour here or there.

 

In the end they were weak, indecisive and pandered to public opinion instead of making the best out of the situation.

Hehe if we pullout icc looses everything they have from ct they wont recover their infrastructure spending. All figures are annual estimates.  280 mil is an estimated sum based on revenue and profits india hives the 2 bil revenue out of 2.5 global so basically 100 mil of pak will become 20 mil if we pullout of icc altogether.
