Ok..Now that mud, slush, slosh, sweat and all that shit has been thrown around in the public, its time to just simplify the IPL. My suggestions are:
1) Scrap private players from having teams
2) Let BCCI deal with IPL from now on
3) Let each state Ranji Team play in the IPL instead of the so called city teams
4) Let the teams have the same number of foreign players
5) Even if we have 25 Ranji teams, each team can play two matches-one home and one away, on a round robin format, then can be eliminated
6) So instead of about 50 days, it might run upto 60 days
The logic here is by BCCI getting control and running the show, all the money and what not thats now been thrown around goes out of the game. We do not yet know if the matches are fixed as well. By having each state team play the IPL, you get a more wider base of audience. Imagine having 20-25 states rooting for their teams rather than what's happening now. Of course, the concept of having players from different states in one team goes out then. But so might all the shady deals, the twitter saga, the television news airtime, space in newspapers. Or run it like the English county cricket way.
We would then not have stupid celebrities jumping around, whining, twittering, crying,have no fake IPL players, no blogs and the focus might just be on the game.
But the current scandal has just made the IPL- Insanity in Public Life...
All thanks to Twitter and the hopelessly jobless Lalit Modi, Shashi Tharoor and the Indian media! Not to leave out myself!! :P
