A new 50% reservation policy to represent SC, ST and OBC's in Indian cricket team should be introduced. I don't know why these politicians are not focussed on this matter. Also, 27 % reservation for women should be introduced..for sure they can perform better than the existing team members..

It is novel move to entertain the general people who have become frusted by the poor preformances of Indian cricket team in WC--07.We want to forget the past and want to see the entertaining cricket,from where new talents will be found out.It is a great blow to the BCCI,which requires to have a good lesson.Zee TV keep it up,We are here to support you.

For the sake of entertainment we can even get the Boolywood stars to play in the league. People will root for the team where Aish plays.
This is a great move (brave & risky?) by Zee group. There should be more Private participation in many sports NOT just cricket in India. Then we can realistically think of 2012 Olympics for atleast 5 Gold, 10 Silver, 15 Bronze!!

Hahaha, well said !!! These bunch on morons can't think anything constructive!!
Excellent move. Being in a monopolistic situation with political benevolence is the worst recipe for any developmental efffort and that is exactly what Indian cricket is suffering from. Qudos. Lets rock the boat stringly so that the new order emerges.
RE:Zee TV announces parallel cricket league

Completely agree with the monopoly theory. Just as DD got better after advent of satellite television, competition will help Indian cricket.
This is a Great New Initiative by Zee TV. If executed well, it can bring huge rewards for Indian Cricket. The idea is quite novel and mixing young promising talents with International and national stars can do wonders.
A professional organization like Zee TV is far well equipped to run a successful league than a hugely "political" and bureaucratic BCCI.
Status quo is its favorite place for BCCI to be and who gets to control BCCI is the only thing it is really interested in. Dwelled by hugely political, factional, selfish, narrow minded cowards - It is one of the few remaining dinosaurs of a bygone era.
BCCI is a National Shame!
As for Zee TV, it might need some patience Like most new event it might take some time to catch up with the viewing public.

There has to be some effort in not only organising tournaments for cricketers but to search for talent when they are young and nurture them in to being mentally strong cricketers and also help them in their education. This will provide them a great deal of perspective that will help them as not only cricketers but also as patriotic citizens.

This is a byproduct of globalization. Whatever works in one place, companies will try to give it a global reach by tweaking it to the local tastes.
FYI: Who wants to be a millionaire is a TV series originally from UK and has been 'franchised' all over the world ... this includes the idol series too ....

@mr. paki, havent you heard of franchisees ? there's a small royalty to be paid for the format of the game/ tv show/ etc. at the end of the show there's a message as to who has the rights to the format or whom its licensed from, let it be fear factor india (n which case - it was produced by themselves in the first place)
as regards plagiarism/copying ideas of movies and music. its always been there in the sub-continent and even south asia - epople freely copy / ape the americans, because they seem to be setting the standards in entertainment. one thing thats unique is the bollywood brand here. agreed there were days when bappi lahari etc blindly copied from the western tunes. but there are much better composers, directors etc these days in india now. there were days when the sub-continent techniques and standards in tv/ movie production were not up to scratch. its no longer true. things have drastically improved for the better.
as regards zee coming up with a cricket format, nothing new or copying here. you must be kidding ! copying pakistan's 20-20 format ? hasnt "professional" format of any game been pushed in the usa in almost every aspect of any game there ? if we were americans, probably we'd have a professional league gilli danda! at these times of globalisation, we are forever borrowing ideas from each other! if there's a pioneer then its USA with entertainment, they too in turn look for the best ideas from all over the world. not only that - thier entertanment industry too is a melting pot with people from all over the world contributing!

Mr. Gupta, if you carefully look at my statement, I said "copied/borrowed/stolen" and not stolen by itself. Stolen applied to the Kohinoor and "copied/borrowed" to the rest.
You focused on the wrong thing. My whole point was that life is full of "give and takes". I was simply responding to Mr. Paki who says that the flow is one way from US to India. I am trying to tell him that there is plenty that flows backwards also !!

Well you don't have to believe it but they actually do teach Lagaan in some "All American High Schools". Granted that some of these schools have a 15-20% Indian population but they are by no means "All Indian".
What is original about you guys. You started as Hindus and then converted (thank god you did). You live on land that was once India.

Mr Paki, we are talking here about a revolution in Cricket and you are taking a swipe at India with irrelevant point. I am a south India and Inspite of all our differences we are one united country and people like me want to see a friendy India and Pakistan in our life time. So drop all that hatred and grab our hands in friendship yaar.

Firstly, the only thing you guys are good at is exporting terrorism. Noone wants to copy that.
You say that you left India because it will always be a Ghulam Country. Have you ever taken a look at who runs your economy. If it weren't for the west, you guys would be in shambles.
India is not perfect (far from it) but look at the progress they have made since Independence and look at where you guys are. If it had not been for a thorn like Pakistan on our side, India could have flourished ten times more.
Secondly, if you are so pissed at India, why do you subscribe to Zee TV. You are paying money for this satellite channel because there must be some entertainment value for you. What a hypocrite.

@ mr. paki, again: "not to mention your national language will be english soon no one really speack hindi in india anymore specially the south they have no clue what hindi is. "
you dont have a clue regarding india do you ? all the languages in pakistan are closer to urdu (punjabi,sindi,pushto etc - as you had mentioned) and people are mostly of a single religion and a smaller less diverse country in geographic as well as population.
the south indian languages are quite different from hindi, and india is a much more diverse country with people from many religions and languages, etc. you really cant pass judgements being an armchair critic, without knowing the basic facts.
english is becoming the default language amongst the urban india, not rural. but for most of india - they have picked up hindi remarkably well, thanks to TV. India is one of the most complicated countries in the world when it comes to languages and dialects, nowhere else in the world will you find so many languages and dialects. its good that there's a unique local culture in most parts. the culture is very rich and far from whatyou mention here in your posts!
people from south india dont need to have clue about hindi! why should they ? every state has its own language, and whats wrong with people not knowing the national language ? whats wrong with adopting english as a common language ? its odd that you term learning english is backward! when most people there would want to pick up english in these globalised times and better job opportunities!
