What is Indian cricket league?


Will be more like the county cricket format except that the money on stake will be more and the audience will be hero worshippers. Zee's Subhash Chandra sees it as an opportunity to fill the gap created by the lacklusture performance of Indian cricket team by creating a talent pool of players who can be chosen to represent the country. But then the question is that what is more important for Subhash, producing more cricket players or selling more cricket or selling the same brand of cricket more?

One of the rules allows the team to have 4 foreign players which they all will have but then Indians are what Indians are, you can't expect Sehwag and Sachin to score centuries against even players like Mohd Asif or Mohd. Rafique. Or may be if they does that will be either be due to the typical Indian pitches. Well, still the idea has some meat in it as if to spend the corporate advertisement dollar wisely on something which will atleast be fiercely competed. The challenege is to attract players like Murali, Kallis, Flemming, Gilchrist etc. Indians are no good.
Anyways, its clear that the old man is trying to do some good to corporate India and hoping that the process will have some positive spillover effect on Indian cricket. The way to a successful Indian team is tough conditioning regime and an able leadership at the top. The only way Indians could win matches is by actually trying. They lack the desire and passion to play cricket. If Chandra has to put his money to best use and if he wants something good for Indian cricket perhaps he has to focus on the playing conditions like pitches and ground conditions as well. Anyways let's hope that those who won't play good won't get any ad contracts will have some effect on Indian cricket..
