IPL is not a real league. Its just a get rich quick scheme for bcci officials and players. rubbish players like Sreesanth are getting paid 900k just for 16 matches where he bowled at most 4 overs? He should bowling at least 6 overs a day for practice anyway. Compare that to american leagues that last 80+ matches and franchises can't afford to over pay for bad players. The only way for India to get a real cricket league is to reform the ranji and other domestic trophy's.

I have lost faith' date=' I won't be surprised if Sachin Tendulkar spot fixes for a Lakh rupee's. Indian Cricketers are greedy.[/quote'] Good. Now stay away from Cricket for good.

[Square Drive]

I use this season to cleanup my room, and also my digital storage. Now NDTV news is also very helpful thanks to this scandal :D Real cricket matches won't allow me to do this consistently because it breaks my attention time to time. So thanks to IPL my room and hard drives are so much clean now.

+10000 . But we need someone to troll... right? That is where "emotional fans" come in. :cantstop:

Don't do this. :(( We mallus are nice people and we have slim aunties too. :((

IPL let down millions , your politicians/govt are screwing you every day. Want to feel let down atleast feel that way for the right reason

[JourneyMan]

You're let down because a bunch of B-grade cricketers got questioned for match-fixing? If it was the Gayle's and Steyn's being arrested, I would understand, but atm it's a bunch of randoms.

[CSK Fan]

You are six years late :cantstop: Your family is smart

@OP, serves those fans right for cheating on Test Cricket, the old faithful companion, with the new, young hussy in town; IPL

@OP' date=' serves those fans right for cheating on Test Cricket, the old faithful companion, with the new, young hussy in town; IPL[/quote'] I can only laugh at the stupidity of people who think test cricket has any future. Only jobless people and retired folks can afford to watch test cricket, not people who have lives. :finger: As for the OP, he is pissed his countrymen are not selected for IPL and trolling this forum. :hysterical:

You will find that on an average, test cricket fans are more polished, better paid, amazingly handsome and get more girls than an IPL fan Average IPL fan Average test cricket fan

Nothing so terrible as loss of faith Suresh Menon · May 18, 2013

My son is not going for the IPL match today. Royal Challengers Bangalore are playing Chennai Super Kings, some of his favourite players, like Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara, are in the fray. He has passes for the best stand in the stadium with a clear, intimate view of the action. Yet he is so depressed, so taken aback by the events of the last couple of days that he wants to have nothing to do with the IPL. This is a young man who has followed cricket the world over. Stood in a queue at Lord’s for tickets, watched India play at Cape Town, travelled to Test matches in India, to Ranji games. He is a Test match man, but believes there is room for Twenty20 too. He loves – loved – the sheer madness of the IPL, was aware of the whispers around it, but after the recent revelations of the three Rajasthan Royals players feels personally let down. “Now that I know, how can I, in all honesty support the tournament?” he asks. He thinks Rahul Dravid should pull out of the IPL, and maybe others like Sachin Tendulkar too. And if not that, at least make a gesture, a speech, anything, that will have an impact. He remembers my constant bleat of a decade ago, when Tendulkar preferred to keep quiet when the match-fixing scandal broke and his teammates were seen to be involved. I have always held it against Tendulkar that he didn’t speak up on the big issues of cricket – contract or no contract with the cricket board. My son’s reaction is that of an intelligent man’s, not of the fanatic who throws stones at MS Dhoni’s house when India loses. So you can imagine how that lot feels. It is reasonable to assume that many others would have pulled out, given their tickets or passes away or simply torn them up. There is nothing so terrible as loss of faith, when the realisation dawns that there is no god or that a cricket tournament is crooked. Many will never watch the game again in quite the same way as before. The effect of the scandal on the sport itself, on our national pride (whatever that is), on the IPL have all been analysed threadbare. The connections with terrorism have been made. Perhaps like Goodwin’s Law (“any discussion on the Internet if it goes on long enough will bring the Nazis into it”), there is a Prime Time TV Law: “Any discussion on financial scandals if it goes on long enough will invoke terrorism.” There are many who will argue that spot-fixing is not a serious crime – there is no body, there are no physical wounds, nobody dies. Yet, it takes but a moment’s reflection to see that there is a body – the game of cricket itself, there are wounds far deeper than mere physical ones since these are psychological, and something dies – faith. Cricket will endure. On the last occasion, a group of men with integrity and purpose – Tendulkar, Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Anil Kumble, Javagal Srinath, Venkatesh Prasad – came together to ensure that the scars of match-fixing did not last long. The players will be replaced, but I am not so sure about the fans. And if they boycott the IPL – in the loose, individual manner of my son, or in more organised fashion in large groups – then the multiplier effect will affect the tournament. Once you lose a spectator it will be difficult to bring him back to the game. And nothing drives them away faster than a scandal of this nature. They are not paying good money to be made to feel like fools. And if you are keeping away from the stadium, it makes little sense to watch the game on television. A drop in the television audience will mean a further dent in the advertiser interest. When interest spirals down, it is useful to remember that it begins with a single spectator. I feel bad for my son’s generation.

[fineleg]

with a username like yours' date=' even people at ICF are laughing at yo :hehe:[/quote'] Yeah I think the OP is trolling - username, only a handful of posts, brand new user (most likely existing ICF-er who created this name for trolling)... In anycase, IPL was a joke and a circus the day it started during Lalit Modi's time.
