Cricket League will be a flop show
by Javed MEandDad on Apr 03, 2007 11:25 PM

Dont compare cricket league to a football league.

football match gets over in 90 mins while ODI cricket takes a full day !!

Ppl simply dont have enuf time to watch all this matches...which consists of rag tag teams of mixed nationalities.

Just look at the World cup......So less ppl are following the WC even though all top teams are competing.

Cricket doesnt have a strong club culture like Football....ppl like to watch internationals and not local ranji or county cricket.

- also the foreign players commitment /availabilty is doubtful....most probably it will be filled frm players from PAK/SRI LANKA/B'desh as opposed to those from Australia/SF/NZ.

Lastly...on Indian pitches everyone is a TEndulkar ....so do something about the pitches to makle the matches interesting !!

Success of this league is doubtful...though the concept is novel...nobody watches ranji...doubtful if anyone would watch all this tamasha cricket wasting a whole day!!!!!
