What started as a joke has turned into a disaster

[Franco Vazquez]

I saw the IPL postponement thread on PeePee and quickly dismissed it as a case of sour grapes and jealousy but now as players are withdrawing, it is soon going to turn into a disaster and IPL might actually get cancelled. All the foreign players look disinterested and act as if they want to get done with this ASAP. Can't blame them.

How many IPL and Covid/Cancellation related posts are you going to make? I mean its getting cumbersome now

[Sandeep99]

Even if gets canceled, nothing wrong. I'm sure even the Indian players are impacted by this. I hope they don't postpone but rather cancel it if push comes to shove. But business interests may dictate otherwise.

Paukees (closet and otherwise) really really want the IPL to be cancelled, don't they?

They just want to troll Indians on twitter and other platforms - kind of a revenge act for what happened to their league. They should understand the circumstances better. No one here acted like fools and breached bubbles. The cancelation calls are just to show compassion to the fellow countrymen suffering from the peak of a horrific pandemic.

Get a life Franco!

Unless Dhoni or Brat say something they'll stretch it for as long as they possibly can - which is kind of understandable because there's loads of money involved.

No need to cancel. Just reschedule the remaining tournament by hosting 2 matches per day and finish it quickly.

Franco is enjoying this so many posts about it now

From Cummins' letter, it looks like the tournament will continue, it is being used as a mechanism to keep people indoors during entertainment time slot.

I think it's hilarious that more Pakistanis watch IPL than PSL.

[SK_IH]

Pakistanis who are rejoicing & comparing with the failure of their PSL should remember two things :

Stupid PCB allowed crowds during their tournament which turned out to be a collosal failure

Secondly, there was failed Bio Bubble in place where in there was alleged breach of Covid protocols. 

 

BCCI are not as incompetent as PCB to allow such disasters. Players left PSL because there was mismanagement of active Covid cases.

IPL shouldn't be cancelled. 

 

For one, it keeps people indoors. 

 

Secondly, it offers some small respite to the misery the nation is going through.

People post like this and then say that this forum is not racist lol.

[IndianCapitals]

IPL needs to go on

 

its only the low quality league PSL fans who are against IPL because their league was terribly conducted 

[Global.Baba]

PSL was cancelled because of bio bubble breach, IPL has been going on in probably the worst wave the world has ever seen.

 

Make whatever of that you will.

 

Anyways the Pak guy is here for schadenfreude. Not because he is concerned.

 

Yes if there are legit concerns it need to be discussed because these are times when we need to hear all options.

Boo hoo now go and cry about it on Bigfooty like a little bitch.

Lets postponed the IPL, scheduled it during wt20  or at least spread the rumor and then see the mass meltdown in neighboring world...

[zen]

IPL is being held in a relatively safe environment (compared to the rest of the population), so the danger to players is relatively less (if that is an issue here) ... If people have some ethical problems like if they are suffering due to COVID (who told you to act carelessly in the first place), IPL should be cancelled because it makes them feel sad to see cricketers on field, that is a personal matter
