I really hope that IPL eventually does away with limiting international cricketers to 4. There is absolutely no reason why teams are not allowed to have more than 4 int players. In a league where money is flowing like rivers we should be seeing the best players from all over the world, this limit is stiffling the series. It will probably increase the ratings and take the series to the next level by increasing international popularity.

Yes, two more teams coming means additional demand for another 60 domestic players. While you might be able to find good talent in traditional centres of bombay etc, I am not sure about weak areas like kerala which have produced just 1 test quality cricketer in history.

Should make the number of internationals to atleast 5. And gradually to 6. Would never advocate anything above that will go against the concept of it being an indian league really.

Just an observation, why is it that despite the IPL being held in India where (I assume) <99%, there are no dark skinned cheerleaders?

I'm not trying to be racist or anything here, it just seems odd.

It is odd and it is no coincidence, the IPL teams have made a conscious effort, it would seem, to recruit white girls. Remember reading a story last year about a black girl being sent home because she wasn't wanted.

There were a few darker skinned cheerleaders last year (and even a bunch of dudes), iirc it was because they had this stipulation that the performers used had to be South African.

That's because they are importing a lot of their cheerleeders from the US and a vast majority of cheerleaders here tend to be white. One of the girls I went to highschool with was cheer-leading in the inaugural IPL

Whatever it takes!!!
I think 5 would be a better number with 2 more teams coming up. That way, the majority of any team is still Indian and there will be lesser dilution in quality.

Good game for Pollard here.

Jeez this sure makes the last few matches pretty interesting, KKR and Chennai are both playing for their lives tonight.
The only certanities in the top 4 now are that Mumbai is in and Punjab is out. 6 teams looking for 3 places.
