What happened to Pollock and McGrath?

Can Lara play IPL? If yes, when?

Polly and McGrath both "retired" from the IPL and their contracts were bought out/ not renewed.

There is nothing preventing Lara from playing in the IPL except his willingness and fitness (and of course the willingness of IPL teams to bid for him). He himself stated he has started working on his fitness and in another 4 months will be in a position to judge whether he can make himself available for the September auction.

IPL brand valued at $4.13 bn - CNBC-TV18 -

IPL brand valued at $4.13 bn

For skeptics who doubt the viability of buying Indian Premier League (IPL) teams at the sky high valuations they got on Sunday, here is more proof. Brand Finance Report says the IPL brand is valued at USD 4.13 billion as against USD 2.01 billion in 2009, reports CNBC-TV18's Tanvi Shukla.

Brand IPL has a higher valuation than Manchester United, which is valued close to USD 3 billion. The value of IPL's branded business has doubled over last year. The combined brand value of all franchisees stands at USD 333 million.

Chennai Super Kings has the highest brand value at USD 48.4 million. KKR slipped to second rank with a brand value at USD 46 million. Mumbai Indians and Deccan Chargers brand value stands at USD 41 million and USD 34.4 million, respectively.

The report cites the renegotiation of broadcast deals, doubling of revenues, and higher base price for new teams as reasons for the higher brand valuation.

However, the report cautions that IPL revenues are likely to stagnate over the next two years.

According to Unni Krishnan, MD, Brand Finance India, "The English Premier League is actually facing one of the most difficult times in its history. This, despite having most loyal, die-hard fans, and great sponsors that you can ask for. So, what went wrong over there? Very simply, poor governance, poor financial prudence, poor transparency, and poor systems and processes. Is there a lesson that IPL can learn from that? You bet it has and that is a significant test for IPL going forward."

Valuations doubling in the span of a year!

I guess it would double again in the next year if not more.

:laugh: @ Rudi Koertzen's "Are you ready" mini speech just before the first ball in BRC vs DD match today. It was broadcast to the entire stadium (via the mic that umpires wear), he did the customary "Batsman, are you ready? Bowler are you ready stuff" before improvising with "Ladies and Gentlemen of Bangalore, are you ready"... nice.

IPL III scores with TV audiences

Special Correspondent

Study based on the first eight matches (up to March 16) reveals a nine per cent increase

It was 27.6 million in 2008; it’s 36.7 million in 2010

Mumbai: The DLF-IPL III has created history by scoring an all-India record of 67 million eyeballs on SET Max for the first three matches played between Deccan Chargers and Kolkata Knight Riders at the D.Y. Patil Stadium in Mumbai on March 12, between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai and between Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Daredevils at Mohali on March 13.

Inaugural match

The inaugural IPL took four matches to cut a television audience of 50 million and the second IPL played in South Africa took three matches for a TV audience of 50 million.

“But in IPL III it was just two matches to cross the 50 million eyeballs hit and this without the opening ceremony,’’ said a Television Audience Measurement (TAM) Media official.

Peoplemetre systems

According to a study conducted by TAM Media on peoplemetre systems the first three matches had a viewership of 46 million in 2008, 51 million in 2009 and 67 million in 2010.

Increase

TAM Media’s reach build-up for the first eight matches of IPL has also reported a near six per cent increase in viewing of the matches by women. It was around 32 per cent in 2008; it touched 38 % in the first eight matches.

Study based on the first eight matches (up to March 16) reveals a nine per cent increase in cumulative reach from the IPL 2008. It was 27.6 million in 2008; it’s 36.7 million in 2010.

The IPL II in South Africa had a cumulative reach of 32.5 after the first eight matches.

Awesome indeed. They have HLs updated till today's RCB vs DD match. Highlight packages are available in full/just wickets/fun snippets/ MoM/fours/sixes/ etc. Brilliant concept considering it is all for free.

Pioneering work indeed!

Yadav

Seriouslt get Umesh Yadav into the National side straight away.
He is seriously one of the most slippery customers I have seen in the last 2 decades along with David Johnson of Karnataka. Only thing is Yadav has some control unlike Johnson. He will end up taking 200+ test wickets if his talent is nurtured properly.

Like id have him in the test side next test match
