IPL - Indian Premier League

I was thinking what if a certain six from Mccullum hits the F1 car :p

For those who are missing the action or cant watch, dont worry . Watch it live free of cost on :: Indian Premier League - The Official Website ::

^^
I dont think we can watch it in full screen there ?

I am watching CBN coverage, awesome quality.. 1 MB Stream

Is there gonna be only 1 IPL tournament per year ? as in 44 days of cricket and so much hype ?

Btw what are these guys paid ? The bidding amount goes to BCCI i guess.. and these guys are paid per match !! ?

I thought Vijay mallya was a great businessman, until i saw the first IPL match. I think he has taken dravid's word on selecting the team, so inspite of so much of money they have ended up selecting a test team, a la Newcastle united.

I will post a detailed comment later but from the looks of things the league has been a huge success. Everywhere i go people are talking about it

And look at the jam packed stadiums There is news today that people are dumping the saas bahu serials for this (thank God! )

Does anyone think that team of IPL will get die-hard fans like Liverpool or say Lakers who are fans of respective teams even before they are born?..

I hope the excitement doesnt fizz out..

There was a marketing company report out day before that had these findings

1) Already there were people who were watching their own teams and supporting them and on days where there was no own team match, they didn't watch
2) The IPL matches have a TRP of 8.33 against 2.33 for saas bhau
3) There is a big interesting Urban areas that constitute the 50% viewership.


Now again everyone wants to know if this will go on or not? Looking at EPL, once city ricalry kicks in, its a hit formula.But will it sustain in India? The sceptics are saying the people are watching right now cos of the stars, but they say that over time even SRK would lose appeal as in KBC.
I personally think that if they eep atleast the Indian leg of this short, we will have an interest as this is seasonal and finishes in 2 months. After that a International club based championship as envisaged by ICC would rock.
