I don't whether IPL will be a winner or looser as it will be decided by audience but I can guess few loosers & what they will lose: 1) Vijay Mallya: One beer factory & that is sure. God save his team lead by Dravid. This is like making bullet cart driver captain of F1 team. 2)SRK: will lose relationship & goodwill of Dawood bhai. 3)Nes vadia: will lose Preity Zinta. 4)Mukesh Ambani:well he is not at all affected by losing money so only thing he can lose is his hairs The only gainer of IPL will be Shard Pawar & his chamchas who will increase no. of zeroes in front of their asset amount.

Bullet cart? Pls Chk difference b/w bullock cart and bullet cart. You wanted to get smart Pulling Dravid down and showing off ur knowledge abt cricket, in the process u have made urself a fool.
some how we indians have the tendency over reach the limit in everything in a very short time. Eiher it is mobiles,cricket,movies,Tv serials,drinking habit,abuses,magazines,bribe... the mass behaviour is very eccentric..
WHY IS THE MEDIA CRIBBING;& NOT SIMPLY BOYCOTTING THE WHOLE TAMASHA !THEY SHOULD HAVE ONLY COVERED THE DRAMA,ON THEIR OWN TERMS,WITH ALL MEMBERS OF THEIR FRATERNITY,INCLUDING THE WEBSITES,BEING INVITED TO & NOT BEGGED FOR COVERING THE EVENT ! IF POSSIBLE BCCI & LALIT MODI WOULD TRADE,EVEN THEIR NEAREST & DEAREST,FOR THE SAKE OF MONEY !IS HE NOT THE SAME PERSON,WHO WAS CONVICTED OF DRUG TRAFICKING ????WHAT MORE DOES ONE NEEDED TO CONFIRM HIS PEDIGREE;& HIS INTENTIONS ???? IF THE MEDIA(en masse ) BOYCOTTS THE WHOLE "NAUTANKI",IT WILL MAKE THEM SHIVER IN THEIR "DIRTY" UNDIES !!!!!! SO,INSTEAD OF CRIBBING,BE BOLD ENOUGH;& BOYCOTT THE IPL !!!!!!I AM SURE ,THE MEDIA HAS MUCH BETTER THINGS TO DO & COVER,i.e.,IF THEY SO INTEND TO;& LIKE THE IPL,DOESNT ONLY THINK OF FILLING THEIR COFFERS,BY HOOK OR CROOK ! WITHOUT MEDIA COVERAGE,NO FILMSTAR OR CRICKETER,IS WORTH EVEN A PENNY !!!!!! I AM AN ACCREDITED PHOTO JOURNALIST WITH THE ICC,BUT I WONT EVEN BOTHER TO GET ACCREDITATION ,TO COVER THE IPL !

Shameless people who are only interested in their profits and care two hoots about how the game will be destroyed by this farce....and even going to the extent of making irreponsible and insincere statements like '20-20 is future etc, 20-20 will spread cricket to the villages etc"....

Lalit Modi and SRK will Take Cricket to WhoreHouse.???????????????????????
Now every thing in cricket is for sale, whether a bat or batsman, a ball or bowler, a player or a complete team. Wonderfully those people are selling and purchasing cricket, who have nothing to do with it. They just want to multiply their money.
No it is incorrect and other news media should protest and stand up. There should be a boycott from the other media as well. Barring any one from reporting is equivalent to stifling press freedom. Reporting is the primary right of a news network, irrespective of the medium. The websites must use a recent supreme court judgement where, new agencies were allowed to use ESPNs video footage. How can a news network not be allowed to report? It's a big shame for India and to come from a organisation that has a MP as its president is scary and pathetic.

agree to what u've said deepak.... but if u think about rediff - a self proclaimed "top cricketing " website not being able to slander news from IPL - then dont u think thats not bad to have !? - i mean only as far as rediff is concerned!
I FEEL EVERY COMPANY SHOULD STOP ADVERTISING Thru TV FOR A YEAR OR SO. Their sales will not be affected. But the BCCI will go to dogs. people will be saved from the ordeal.

I agree. Actually if we want to save the nation, cricket must be banned on TVs also. let them go to fields and enjoy if they want to.
websites were getting free feed all these days.MODi is not allowing that having made people invest millions he is making sure that nobody gets free lunches at the cost of loss of viewership.ICL gave free feed why did rediff give no publicity .Sometimes u win sometimes u lose
