That is what ICL. It is a total washout..Poor mathches with semi-retired international cricketers and unknown third grade domestic ricketers..
Subash Chandra can see the writing on the wall and it will not be long before he shuts this down.
Kapil has the knack of shooting of his mouth without thinking and this has led him into trouble time and again. When ICL folds up, he will not be affected, it will be the domestic also-rans who would continue to remain also-rans again.

kapil has always revolutionzed things. he has done what he thought of. won the WC for india, inspite of strong racist, and communal Marathi lobby, became a top class golfer when left cricket and I am sure now will change the course of world cricket

Abyss, you are true to your name.
India's victory in 83 was a team effort and let us admit it, there was not because of any brilliant captaincy by Kapil. That could not be replicated by anyone till today (I am counting the 20-20 victory out deliberately as it is a different version of cricket).
Top class golfer..that is the point I am trying to make..when ICL folds down, Kapil will not be the loser..he has business, golf, commercials etc. to keep his house warm..It is the Badani's of the world who would suffer.
Boss end of the day, let us get one thing right...ICL belongs to Subhash Chandra who is a business man..if he does not see money in this in the next couple of years..he will close it down..if there is money in kabaddi..he will start an IKL..it is all about money...love of cricket and all that be damned...

its not about being pawar ka chamcha, its about being the legal body ruling. Just because you are an honest person with integrity & the police is corrupt doesnt mean that you would be given a permission to start a police station. ICL is just about money & the quality of cricket in it is CRAP

I agree with your semi retired stuff. But the local players are actually good ones. I am really sad that they couldd not represent their states or the nation. Offcourse, they get money atleast. A lot of good young players along with the seasoned professionals from TN has moved on to ICL. (Satish, vasanth saravanan, Hemang Badani, Sharath for example)
