Indian Cricket League thread

I did not know there's a clause in the ICL contract that priority has to be given to the league when the Pakistan team is also playing international matches simultaneously.
Either Yousufs an idiot for signing a contract he didnt read properly. Or he thinks we're all idiots for believing that crap is true and the real reason :laugh:

Well Yousuf's never struck me as the smartest chap in The World, no, but I could be wrong.

To be expected really, and I'm sure there are many Pakistani fans around the world breathing a collective sight of relief.

Whatever it takes!!!
well, it never really promised to be much and the announcement of the IPL I guess was its deathknell. I was hoping against hope that ICL would amount to something and that it will at least give something of a competition to the BCCI, but it seems it will just die a slow and painful death now. :(

The fact the ICL had to put the series back to novemeber was an indication things were'nt that good.now what stops the other players in not forfilling their contracts.
The ICL hasn't signed the players for it to be a success.
The fact they said their was no national cricket on in november is crap,its non stop cricket for november and those ICL overseas players have turned their backs on international cricket anyway.

Sharad Pawar is one of the smartest operators in Indian politics. Jagmohan Dalmiya has already learnt that and now Subhash Chandra and Kapil are slowly realising that.

You can fight against brains. You can even fight against money. Once in a while you can also fight power. But Pawar is a deadly combination of all these AND he is as cool as a cucumber. They never had a chance. And with nothing except money to offer to the players they started with a handicap.

This is how even Packer could have been tackled. Compete with him in the same market place with an even better product.

Sure Pawar will make a great ICC chief.

At one time a majority of Indians felt he would make a great Prime Minister.:dry:

In a (perhaps perverse) way I greatly admire Pawar. As SJS intimates, you just can't seem to get one over him. Guys like that are always admirable in their own way.

I second that Yuk...!!
Btw this Hamish Marshall is one real greedy bloke, first he left New Zealand cricket to join English county (just to make more money) and now he is also joining ICL!!
