IPL 2009 is a welcomed entertainment for cricket lovers. A lot of gambling, critics and politics are involved. Finally it’s the 160 minutes which matters. At the worst we might shirk our work commitment for a matter of 160 minutes. This is least when compared to the schedule which we dedicate for our career and wanted (or unwanted) commitments.
The 16:00 (IST) match might be missed during weekdays but the match which commences at 20:00 (IST) would draw a huge amount of fans for sure. The IPL 2008 season was a success for sure. The Indian central government denied adequate protection (owing to Lok Sabha elections) to the players which made the IPL commission to shift its 2009 matches to a different country. South Africa and England were there on the list. England has its EPL league on the go with South Africa being the only alternative. This format of game saw a huge welcome in South Africa. The Indian sub-continent pitches have proven to be a batting pitch which saw a huge cheer in India for 2008 season. But this season in South Africa is a bouncy bowling pitch which might favor the bowlers. The IPL format though draws a huge cheer for a batsman game it has seen a change in trend this year with no dip in the cheer level. Both England and South Africa are not worth mentioning for an ODI or 20-20. Leaving the bouncy pitches apart the climate has a huge role to play for each and every match. The rain can spoil any match at any moment and the worst part is if two consecutive matches are held on the same day with same pitch.
The opening ceremony finding a bit vague was not cheered as expected. The concept of strategy break controversy is something which must be made clear. An unwanted discussion and warm up when players are in good form of their game. The entertainers lose their energy with the spectators going to the peak of aggravation. The way in which these people earn these days are made clearly visible. These breaks have proven to be futile. Cricket legends are completely against this. But the egoist commission has plans to reduce it to 2.5 minutes rather going for “great” says. Cash flow can create and break “Rules”.
Each franchisee has something to say through this IPL. They try to exhibit their cine talents to a worldwide welcomed sport. Huh, I am not sure whether these franchisees take it as a sport or a hobby to promote their deeds. What does “Big Sister” has to do with cricket? She claims – “I watched a few matches last time. My father was a die-hard fan of cricket. So this time I want to get in to this seriously.” Implication she bought the “Rajasthan Royals” from IPL commissioner. Sounds Silly. Circles say that last time the IPL commissioner made his team (Rajasthan Royals) to lift the trophy.
Few indisputable “Legends” make up for the debris. Politics, rumors, fake plays sometimes test spectator’s patience. “Master Minds” like Sachin talents always stands in front of this speech and action.
The anonymous fake IPL player claiming to be a Kolkata Knight rider has created was a warm welcome to the monotonous game played by this team. Though it seems to be fictional to some extent this blog has created a great interest among KKR rival fans. The ambience which prevails in this spendthrift circle is indeed truth thrown out in light. Let’s see what facts (stupidity of the players and team) he has got to say.
Nonetheless these facts might make one to feel that it’s a serious market business. A good set of well-disciplined talented franchisee can opt for players and make each and every match worth watching. The bidding process relates to selling a product (talent) in a market to the richest person. One welcoming approach would be to have a mix of performers. A board can be formed and players can be nominated. After several rounds of players, franchisees and the board’s consensus the final list can be out.
My home team being Chennai Super Kings has Mumbai Indians as a rival team with some of my friends and colleagues supporting Mumbai Indians. Though Tendulkar remains the Legend forever I can’t stop holding up the potency of Chennai Super Kings as a team. This great season has many things to say by May 24. This is the first write-up for the season. Will be updated with more at the earliest…
