Today we have IPL final there has been much media frenzy all around, the sheer statistics about the marketing revenue the patholgical atracion to bollywood stars to the tall and migh of business and politics all indulged into this new form of cricket. People needed to question there loyalty when shane warne would take Sachin's wicket, it amounted to blasphemy. There were much hue and cry abou the Royal Challenger's loss and bloated accounts of tussle between Shahrukh and Gangooly dada. All in all, there was just too much of cricket(or was it the anti-cricket) all around.
I feel it is good for the not-so-well-known cricketers to gain good exposure to high pressure and quality cricket with lots of money to make them feel financialy secure. The question can this form of IPL is sustainable in the longer run? How long can our star owners devote time to this form cricket towards cheer-leading their teams? How much of time saving have we done with so many matches in one go? How much is too much? It's going to be interesting from the acaedemic point view :)
