Show_stopper Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I bet the politicians will be ruing now..too bad the horse has probably bolted.I think is excellent news btw..SA would be my choice,England wouldn't be bad,although i think we'll draw larger crowds in SA and from what i hear it'll go a lot easier on the purses of franchise owners as well.meh.

King Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Stupid decision and a strange reason for the shift i.e Elections I have never come across any domestic cricket of any cricketing nation being played in a neutral venue. Why play in South Africa or England, they should play in Bahamas or Fiji. Surely there won't really be much need for extra security there do we? The best place possibly would be NZ during the month of Jan/Feb. I think NZ can be a big draw for cricket in future. Wonder why they didn't have the Twenty20 champions trophy or something of that sort elsewhere? Please rename IPL as International Premier League and change the names of the teams. On top of it allow as many international players as possible to play for the teams with out a limitation. It's quite sad India and Indians will lose sizable revenue.

Guest gaurav_indian Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 What a shame.This indian govt doesnt care about the people.They are worried if something bad happens during the IPL they will loose their votes. IPL 2 will be a huge flop.Who will watch Rajasthan vs Delhi in South Africa.This also means that some of the South African players will be an automatic choice in the team becoz of their home country. Only positive that can come out are the pitches.This will help bowlers like Atul sharma.:finger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably overreacting a bit mate.I don't think this is a bad decision provided its for this year alone and the stipulation for max of 4 foreign players remain. Probably the people of India feel let down as there is always a sense of possessiveness..but we have to admit our incompetance and take it in the stride.I'm sure the people will feel let down by the government.

This is a stupid decision.This is a domestic competition how can they move it to another country.This is the beginning mate just wait india will be on the same path with Pakistan.No team will tour india.This was a perfect opportunity to show the world that india is safe.They missed it. I hope this time opposition makes an issue out of this.They cant give security to 50 cricketers how will they protect the comman man.What a disgrace this govt.Did nothing after the mumbai blasts and now they are pi**ing in their pants worrying about IPL.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over reaction???? How is it??? Have you ever come across a domestic competition played at a neutral venue??? Have you ever heard of a sporting event shifted to a neutral venue because of Elections??? It sounds plain stupid. Possessive??? Where does being possessive picture here? It's a domestic competition for heaven's sake. Wonder why India didn’t shift their parliament to a neutral venue? Wasn’t Parliament attacked by terrorists a few years ago and the security wasn’t as tight there either? Inaptitude is the right word. I guess the owners of the teams don't want the tourney cancelled and you can't play cricket in India in May. IPL this year is in shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
