Who hates IPL?

Question

Here are my reasons:

1. Causes rift in indian team, e.g. sreesant vs bhajji

2. Government offices and banks now close even early so they can watch matches

3. Domestic fights. Now women going to fight to watch tv serial and man fight to watch match. Result - they have to buy another tv, at the end viewer losing money.

4. No strategy in IPL. If a player has a good day then he can score 100, it doesn't mean he's great. e.g. the media and cricinfo have made McCullum into so kind of hercules, just because he played one electryfying inning.

5. Kid's are not going to study anymore because of matches, end result lower scores in exams.

6. No planning and strategy during match, this is what made ODI interesting.

7. Players that were banned are now playing. e.g. Akhtar and Asif. Akhtar said he will never play for anyone beside his country, now he got kicked out and is playing in future.

There are many other reasons but these are just a few to name.

Answer 2

I HATE IPL with a passion.....

The IPL have tried to make out they are so rich and powerful,well if they were so rich then the players would have recieved payment before the matches began..There were a number of players who were not given a single cent,what is it they spent millions buying the players but hav'nt got the money to pay them....

I hope people see it for what it really is--an Over rated waste of time and many many millions of dollars...

LOL to all those who said now you Aussie will see real cricket--Hey i am still waiting to see some!!!!

I think Brendan McCullum deserves the praise he is getting..After all he is on top of the Batting high scored,he has made more runs than the Indian players and he is also one h**l of a great batter--too bad he is leaving to go home ey....

Answer 3

Donkeys hate IPLYou don't have to like them, but you have to accept the fact that they are a super power in Cricket (administratively and financially, they have a way to go before they can claim that to be on the field as well)

Also depends on your definition of worse, what are you getting at? If you mean by creating cricket leagues of their own, isn't it something the ECB has already done many many years ago, even the T20 was invented in England, India took the idea and ran away with it...Dean Jones, once said that Cricket is like baking cookies, anyone can bake them and eat them, there are no proprietary rights!

Answer 4
