Hi Ho All, As much as I agree with this, along the lines of safety, I'm not too happy that they decide such a thing so soon ... 2011 is a ways away. Likewise,...
Hi Ho All, A hearty congrats to them and to the four nations that have qualified for the WC. Of course the bad news for Afghanistan is, that like Kenya, The ...
Agree partially with the decision however 2011 is a long way and such a review should have been carried out by early next year. Secondly, Bangladesh recently...

Well, India has had its share of attacks agreed. But as of now we aren`t facing taliban at our doorsteps. I cant understand how pakistan even expects anyone to...
Can you give in writing, if the tournament is shifted to any other country whether everything will go on smoothly? IPL has gone overseas this year because of...
Can I give it writing, sure ... where do I send the letter? Think about it, I suspect every host nation puts in writing everything, just as I'm sure Pakistan...
No one gives in writing. All they do is promise presidential level security and ensure that they`ll do everything possible to take care about the players....
What a strange way to do business ... I would have thought such huge sporting events would have been signed sealed and delivered in writing for sure. Silly me....
Yep hes playing for Royals. I guess Watson is playing today before leaving for dubai. I feel Carseldine will miss this game! 2009/4/18 Old Father Time...
My friend just to make sure you are updated India is not fighting talibans but there are several internal battles you have going on. The fact of the matter is...
Lets not go on with the debate about the first bit on a cricket group. Thats not required here and i am sure you agree! So i`ll not carry that bit on. The ICL...
Hi Ho All, In all seriousness, what is the difference? The ICL is illegal because either or both the ICC and the BCCI haven't sanctioned it? Would that be...
ICL has already shot itself in the foot by conducting its own "world series" tournaments along with the same league format as IPL. They have made up their own...
Agreed lets not get into the debate but I would also like you to not comment like things are out of control, true there is a war in northern areas connecting...
Lets stop the country debate. So will just talk about cricket related issues. India can be blamed as much as anyone feels like currently in pakistan for the...
Then taking your point ICL is doing the same so why dump it. Just let it be just another domestic competition. On Sun, Apr 19, 2009 at 5:09 PM, Saurabh...
Wheres the credibility + if one league is given official status, tommorow someone else will make another and that way it would make a complete joke. ...
I've only dipped into this occasionally, but basically I can't agree with many of the stances here. It seems to me that the ICL should be legitimate but...
I have never ever been a supporter of BCCI anyway, whether in good times or bad times. So honestly, dont even want to bother about defending them. If one ICL...
Profit's the only reason for the massive investment in the IPL. Let's not lose sight of that. What are the differences between the IPL and ICL? The BCCI...
ICL going well? They had to cancel the march tournament because of lack of funds. They hardly get half decent crowds in most of their matches. I believe they...
Hi Ho All, So, ignoring the first two paragraphs as they don't answer the question, I take it therefore that the ICL is banned by the BCCI because the BCCI...
Well that doesn't answer the question either. I neither hate nor love the IPL or the ICL, I simply wish to understand what the difference is betwene the two to...
Ok, in short. IPL is official because its run by BCCI which is a official member & part of ICC. ICL is illegal because its run by a random businessman with no...
