bunny Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 i) Why is 11:30 pm IST the cutoff time for match start? (Shouldnt it be 11:00pm SA time or something?) ii) Why are the IPL organizers not rescheduling matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandan Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Two answers: 1) 11.30 IST is the cut off time because the tourment is scheduled such so that the Indian spectators in India can watch these matches on TV in the prime time. 11 pm SA time would be 2.30 am in Idia and no one will keep awake for so long such to see a overs contest. 2) IPL organisers have already rescheluded 124 times since the original schedule came out. Maybe they think that this is the best schedule, given the circumstances and hastily arranged mega event! They might not want to rechedule again because they might have struck agreements with respective boards of the grounds that are hosting the matches and those agreements can't be broken now.

Cant they reschedule them? There are lots of days on which only a single match is being held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont ask them to rearrange things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the grounds are not ready for two matches, or maybe they are not free on those days and some other events are taking place or 4am matches are not watched by many on the working days anyway. Too many of such matches might turn the people off from IPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
