Pandya_Power Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Frankly, it would not matter if it got cancelled this year. IPL is an established brand now. I imagine we would have no problems assembling the foreign players and other stakeholders next year in the event of cancellation this year. It's not he same situation as with PSL. And to be honest, IPL and cricket seems insignificant in light of the tragedy facing the country. Link to comment

Pakistani would love that since they would be the only full strength side and might have a chance to get to knockout stage of WC. they still wouldn’t win it. Link to comment
First class Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 IPL should continue , for many reasons and one of them is to show the world that a big sports events can be conducted successfully , even during the worst pandemic days, with strict control of the bubble and by following the safety protocol. Covid is here to stay for many years to come and we have to live with that , safely and securely. SRT100 and Global.Baba 1 1 Link to comment

Look at Australia. India is the last place I would look at for success in terms of a controlled pandemic environment. Dery and beetle 2 Link to comment

The AO had it's share of issues btw. We had England coming here for a long series and if i had to guess, the ipl organisers might have done things differently if they knew when and how the 2nd wave will hit. this whole tournament schedule looks like it was intended to take advantage of crowds being able to come in else it would have been a lot like the last ipl in uae.

We have nothing to 'learn' from a country which has a very different situation and different challenges to face in the same set of global circumstances, it's not an apples to apples comparison. Especially when pound for pound you could argue that some lessons could even go the other way. So you can take your homilies and shove it where the sun doesn't shine as the concern porn is wearing pretty thin. While you're at it try convincing the average bowgin protesting in your utopia why his livelihood and business is being destroyed by draconian lockdowns. beetle, AuxiliA, TheWall and 4 others 7 Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 All the foreign players disinterested as mentioned by OP? Seriously. I see 4 foreigners playing in almost all matches, except few where teams feel the 4th foreignir is not required. The OP is probably not even aware how many foreign players are still in India as part of squads. I would say surely100-120 foreignors are there as players, coaches, support staff, commentators are concerned. Only 5 to 10 foreignors must be leaving India. That's a huge success for IPL that 95% are still involved. Surprised how the OP states that it has been a disaster. What type of maths or logic is being used while looking at numbers? raki05, express bowling, kirkutfan and 1 other 4 Link to comment
