Sachin=GOD Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 So... We meet again... /Placeholder for evil laughter.. any comments on the off the filed activities of some people associated with CSK?
G_B_ Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Ok guys slickr has said via PM that he is not interested in the finals thread. Is anybody from the Mumbai Indian fan club interested in making one?
Ram Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 any comments on the off the filed activities of some people associated with CSK? I was going to post this on the fixing thread on cricket talk, but what the heck - The arrest of Meiyappan is the biggest blow yet, not just to the IPL, but to BCCI and Indian cricket in general. They say this guy was the 'honorary member', but who are they kidding? Everyone saw this guy in the dugouts, mingling with staff and players, at the auctions, at the post-match presentations. For a couple of editions of the tournament, he was the literal FACE of the franchize. Which brings us to the next issue - What did he do, to get arrested? Clearly, he has some sort of involvement, else the Mumbai police would not have arrested him in the first place. Did he merely bet on fixes arranged by someone else or did he personally 'facilitate' the bets? i.e, were there any CSK or opposition players that were lured into this by Meiyappan? Common sense points the finger of suspicion immediately on CSK players - He had most access to them, he knew team plans, playing XIs and strategies. It is quite possible that he colluded with the bookies a) fix games, b) bet on them or c) bet on non-game factors like playing XIs, which bowler opened the attack etc. Irrespective, it is not looking good at all. What would be even more damning is if he, as the top dog of CSK, lured opposition players to under-perform against CSK. He clearly has a vested interest in seeing his franchize do well. If that were the case (and i really do hope that is not), then there has to be crippling cost because of that. There's literally no option but to penalize CSK heavily, including the option of terminating them from the league and nullifying all their previous wins that may have been tainted. Btw, just for the record, Srinivasan's days at the top of BCCI is numbered and probably in its single digits. The day after the scandal broke, the guy called a press conference and lambasted the three RR players, calling them 'dirty' and said that IPL will not affected by this. Now, his own son-in-law is shown to have some level of involvement in all of this. Can we expect him to have another press conference and distance himself from his own son-in-law? Its sad (and hilarious) how all of this has found its path to all the way to the top. So far, Srini has had a teflon coating - nothing stuck on him. This is one scandal that is going to prove too hot even for him to handle. He is going to be given a clear choice by the rest of the BCCI babus - Either you quit (or) if you stay, your tainted reputation will shroud all of Indian cricket and we will become the laughing stock of the world. His exit is just a matter of time.

Detonator Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Thanks to Ambani, another attempt of off field drama by mindians to help out their team to win the league. :headshake:

So for you guys its okay if the team owner continued to bet and fix as long as CSK keeps winning?
