Indian Premier League

The Twenty 20 Cricket festival called IPL is being held outside India !

The Prestigious Indian Cricket Gala Event is to take place in South Africa !

The Indian Premier League shall not be played on Indian soil this year....thanks to the combined strain on Nation's security machinery....due to General elections and a potent threat of a terrorist attack.

There have been mixed reactions to this shift of venue.

Die-hard cricket fans....as well as the event organisers/franchisees are happy. It is much better to have an Indian event outside India....rather than not having it...at all !

The puritans are critical....

They argue that it is the greed and lust of a few ....that is causing this 'embarassment' to occur !

Whatever one says...

cricket fans would get to see their favorite cricketers in action ....in a slam-bang tournament...once again !

Franchisees would make some money! 

Security agencies of India would heave a sigh of relief !

Cheer Leaders would be cheering !

The players would make a neat killing !

So why complain ?

Only thing we can say ....and it may be seen as a criticism by IPL elite:

Why call the franchisees as 'owners' of players and the teams !

We can...if we want....find a better word to describe the relationship between players and the businessmen who bid for them !!!
