Not sure what I've missed, Seamer, but I can't see anything in this article which is of concern to anyone outside India. If India wants to have an ICL running alongside its traditional formats, why is it a sad thing for you in Australia or me in Europe? The parallel which the writer draws with the English Premier League, an association football competition, seems pretty apt to me, and I can't see what harm the Premier League has done to world football (not a game I care for much, but one which, to me, is no better or worse today than it was before the Premier League came about in England).

The short answer to your survey, from where I sit, is that it makes no difference to me: I don't follow Indian domestic cricket today and I won't tomorrow. I'll continue to follow the international scene.
