If your starting point is everyone in BCCI is corrupt you will clearly see everything they do as BAD. Maybe you should ask why your opinion of BCCI is so biased in the first place.
Accusing BCCI of incompetence is fair but to state that they are all corrupt is just slander and actually goes to the root of the issue in world cricket. Fans of different countries look at each other and seem to have a very low and stereotypical opinion of the other side.
IPL is not BCCI. It is mainly going to be run by businesses who i am sure will publish their profit/loss etc. Which is another reason why you should like it.
Banning ICL is obviously a business decision. It would probably be against competition laws in UK but any business will try to squash competition. We shouldnt feel sorry for ICL but be worried about how the players involved in have been treated. I dont believe the current state can last as it is. Some compromise has got to be reached.

The sad reality is that the IPL is simply a vehicle for the greedy BCCI buisinessmen to line their own personal pockets and has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with developing the game either in India or worldwide and anyone who thinks otherwise is in my opinion naively foolish. |
