Rajiv Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 What good is money and power if you don't use it at the right time
Ram Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 BCCI will do what it has to do, extract maximum financial mileage from cricket, no one can blame them for that. Seeing all this over-load of cricket, I wont be surprised if the TRP rating begin to fall slightly. There is definitely too much cricket and advertisers wont get the same ROI they were previously used to.
arkay Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 IPL Team lineup Now that vvs, gangs and dravid are not in the ODI line-up, would they be part of IPL. It would be hypocritical on the part of BCCI to include them in IPL because they would certainly bring more crowd. On one hand, BCCI would preach about youngsters, reduction in the matches. On the other hand,they would make these folks play more odis in IPL.
The Outsider Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I think there is a clause in IPL that the players would have to been retired for a certain time before they'll be included.
Guest Hiten. Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I think there is a clause in IPL that the players would have to been retired for a certain time before they'll be included. Two-year waiting period for retiring players to join IPL http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ipl/content/story/326329.html
arkay Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 The rules would be bent for Indian team as BCCI is the one who is making the rules. If BCCI clears them, they will play for IPL. If not, they can play for ICL. As simple as that. The 2 year rule is more applicable to other nations whose players may decide to hang their boots and play for IPL instead of their country.
The Outsider Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 ^ Ganguly and Dravid would never jeopardize their test careers to sign up for ICL. Both have got a good 2 years in them by the looks of it.

He will be nearer to Rajiv Shukla ..the evergreen omnipresent congress man in BCCI...and Modi from Jaipur.. so Shahrukh will get some hold in BCCI as well.....Sharp businessman...i must say..
