ViruRulez Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Perhaps most of you know that ICL is owned by Zee TV and BCCI and IPL are against ICL. I was just watching Zee News right now and saw their IPL news reporting for the first time. Their news section for IPL has been as "India ka tamasha". I really got pissed off hearing the news program name itself. And their news reporting seemed to be taking a dig at IPL. I am not sure if Zee is jealous of IPL success as their own ICL was a huge failure or something else... but it was really irritating to see that IPL is mentioned as "India ka tamasha" by Zee News. Other news channels have kept terminology like battle south africa, cricket entertainment etc. which makes sense but "India ka tamasha" is something which made me irriated instanly. Perhaps Zee are just jealous of BCCI and IPL after its success
spectre Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Obviously they will be jealous IPL just took the domestic league to a different level and thats what official tournament can do You cant expect Zee to shower praises for IPL and Lalit Modi
Zap_Brannigan Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Zee, just like the pakis,cannot stand it when their trny flops and someone whom you consider your arch nemesis trny is a huge hit.
Macj Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 IPL knocked the wind out of their sail! A guy at work claims to know Modi from his college days in the US, he says that Modi was one hyper chap, never happy with anything, money, women whatnot. He says that Modi just wanted more and more, his score with Gori and Oriental chicks is colossal.

Dinx - the Jinx Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 And what do they call their bull crap version? They even had Rakhi Sawant danci ng during their matches. Yuck
thakurthakur Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 There is not much merit in your arguments. I have seen other Hindi channels too who have termed it "Indian Paisa League" etc. I think this is first time you have seen a hindi news channel after a long time, coz u cited names for IPL from english channels, viz battle in SAF, cricketainment (english names). Plz watch hindi news channels for some time and you would see that Zee news is just like others. Infact "Cricket Ka Tamasha" seems a bit more conservative than "Indian Paisa League"
Lord Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 The heights was wen Zee News accused of match fixing in RR v KKR game just on the basis that Modi was rooting for super over n it happened
Macj Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 The heights was wen Zee News accused of match fixing in RR v KKR game just on the basis that Modi was rooting for super over n it happened I was dumb enough to watch one of their matches - on tv i.e. Chennai Super Stars vs someone, it was outright horrible. Even Tony Greig was probably feeling sick to his stomach that his greed got him to sign up for the wrong league, im sure the IPL would love to have Greig , he is the ONE who can surely bell Sandy.
