Is it possible ??

Some what confusing !!! What u say?? Indian part time bowler Yuvraj Singh took hat-trick for the 2nd time in this IPL. This ipl shows that regular bowlers are unable to take wicket where as part time bowlers are. This means it is destroying the cricket. And people can see how batsmen are performing. They are not trying to stay in the pitch for long time. They just coming and hitting sixes and going out.

Not only player but also money in IPL is making cricket boring. Yes some matches are interesting but you can see batsmen are unable to achieve 6 runs from 6 balls and sometimes they are able to achieve 26 runs in 6 balls. What is happening??

Is it the way players should play or perform? A blowers having a good economy rate in 3 overs (5 runs in 3overs) finishes his spell with 4-0-33-0. How? and Why?
Where as in one day this type of figure nobody sees. IPL business not cricket is destroying this sports (cricket).

IPL on the verge of destroying the game of Cricket

What u say?

IPL is an extension of Indian diplomacy in South Africa

The Twenty20 Indian Premier League (IPL) has proved to be a noticeable extension of Indian diplomacy in South Africa, Rajiv Kumar Bhatia, Indian high commissioner, said at SA.

“It does complement our efforts and we are happy that IPL in south africa has left a positive imprint so far,” he said.

Bhatia told IANS: “IPL has contributed significantly to better people-to-people relations.”

Citing the fact of people of Indian origin in this country thronging the grounds where matches are taking place, especially in the city of Durban, he remarked: “They see in the IPL a revival of their mela, which all Indians love to go to.”

He added: “They are also happy to see the contemporary face of India - very confident, vibrant, on-the-go.”

Regarding criticism in a section of the South African press about the IPL organisers throwing their money around, the high commissioner, while not dismissing such views, referred to reactions of the South African government and Cricket South Africa, the national governing body for the game.

He illustrated that the interim president and now deputy president, Kgalema Motlanthe, said “the IPL was injecting a significant amount of investment in South Africa”.

As for CSA, he claimed: “They are extremely joyous, happy and grateful that this opportunity came their way; and of course, we appreciate the ready co-operation they extended to us.”

This might have happened here at India but it is happening there. U might be knowing that SA general elections also started the same time as IPL. But government gave this reason here to shift the IPL. What a shame ??

Is IPl making cricket a base ball game ??

Among other changes IPL T20 has brought, one has had a far-reaching effect on the sport, literally. With the batsmen under constant pressure to score briskly, a lot of sixes are being hit these days the number is smaller than last year but the IPL's second season has still witnessed 399 in 46 matches.

One day cricket was once a fans' delight is taking a backseat. And nobody will be surprised if the purest form of cricket, Test cricket, becomes a part of the history. When players were able to stand the Test of cricket, people wonder whether Test cricket would be able to stand the test of time with such advancements and money flow in the game.

A batsmen who can hit the best of straight drives ever seen cannot find a place in the wham-bham, thank you mam cricket. A square cut hit in IPL will not be compared to David Boon's style. A half pull shot executed on one leg by a left hander is not admired.

The lazy elegance at which players hit their off drives and square leg strokes will be ridiculed because they lack the brute force. Commentators will be pressed to talk on how innovative a batsmen is for his switch shots rather than discussing the legality of it.

Being a cricket fan, who applauds a single over defended by Courtney Walsh to save the Test match for his team with more passion than six sixes being hit in an over.

The IPL has also seen a lot of cheeky shots, such as the scoop shot and reverse sweep, off fast bowlers. Their success rate is directly proportional to the number of hours batsmen spend practising them in the nets.

Supporting this Gilchrist says,"I can tell you all guys spend great time practising these strokes before they attempt it in matches. And not only on those shots, at the same time they work hard on their fundamentals as well because that's where it all comes from."

But Gilchrist also suggests that T20 cricket is a bit like baseball, with the batsmen given a licence to swing the bat freely. "It's funny but some of the biggest hits have all been delivered with the same stroke, with the bat in a baseball-like position," he says.

Then again, there is a strong Indian connection to big-hitting. With Indian bat manufacturers giving the unique combination of more wood on the meat of the bat and balancing it to shave off the extra weight, hitting sixes was never easier.

And although it is power-hitting, it's also a mind game between the batsman and the bowler.
Hayden stresses the need to read a bowler's mind. "There are quite a few different styles of bowling that teams have adopted in the IPL," he says. "Some teams have decided to take the short of length area and others have fallen back on the yorkers. So when you are pre-meditating the shot, it's important to know what to expect from the other side."

Because money in IPL making everyone to play like a base ball player, hit as much as you can no style matters here. This Ipl business is making profit because of this type of shots. You must be wondering how?? Yes, I am saying the right thing. When one team has to score more than 2 runs per ball (12 runs per over) what the batsmen do, they just play shot like they want. They do not play regular shots sometime. Now Ipl is going to be a batsmen game rather than a all team game (bowlers get less credit as well fielder ).

Whome to balme; Cricket or Alcohol !!

According to news
" In a bizarre incident, a father stabbed his 24-year-old son to death on Sunday night after the latter refused to switch off the television and insisted on watching an Indian Premium League (IPL) match.

The victim Sandesh Kamble, pursuing computer repairing course, had returned home at around 10.30 pm on Sunday. “As Sandesh was tired after a whole day’s work he decided to relax himself by watching an IPL match,” a senior police officer said.

While he was watching the television, his father Meghnath Kamble asked him to switch it off. However, Sandesh refused to do so. His refusal led to an argument between the duo. Meghnath shouted at Sandesh and also warned him.

“Furious with his son, Meghnath went to the kitchen and returned with a knife and stabbed it on the right side of Sandesh’s chest injuring him seriously,” the officer said.

“Sandesh was rushed to a private hospital where he was pronounced dead before admission,” he said. The police have arrested Meghnath and are probing if he was under the influence alcohol when the incident occurred. “We are awaiting medical reports to ascertain if he was drunk,” the officer police said."

In this case whom should we blame IPL or Alcohol or or IPL alcohol both or anything else.

What is ur view ??

Who may be the winner of IPL but here the father and son both are loser. One lost his life and another lost his son (and a lot more also).

Think in this way if u r the judge for this particular case whom will u blame from inside (But publicly u can say that bcz evidence says father is a killer what may the reason)?

Every time I discuss about IPL business but this case made me to write something different.

IPL is affecting south Indian film industry

If cricket is a religion in India, then the film industry in the southern part of the country has good reason to worry. The on-going IPL season has dented box office collections across south India, especially Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, two states that were already reeling due to a lack of good films this year.

Unlike the T20 World Cup or the ICC World Cup, which happens once in four years, IPL is an annual event. The fact that it is scheduled during the summer, normally the period when the film industry’s expects to rake in the most moolah, is adding insult to injury.

“There is a visible drop in box office collections, especially for the late night shows, where the drop is anywhere between 30 – 40 per cent due to the on-going IPL. On days, when the Chennai Super Kings play, the impact is more and if their match is scheduled at 4 pm, it impacts even the matinee and the evening show,” says KS Mahalingam, head of distribution, at Chennai’s AGS Entertainment.

The story is the same in the Coimbatore, Tirupur, Erode and Pollachi regions. “Yes, there is a 30 to 40 per cent drop in collections due to IPL. But, that is happening only in the city centres. IPL has not impacted movie collections in the rural segments,” says Tirupur Subramanian, a veteran distributor for the Coimbatore territory. “Even here, Ayan continues to do well, which means people will continue to come to theatres to watch a good film, irrespective of other developments,” he added.

At least two reasonably big budget Tamil films —Sarvam and Thoranai have been postponed as the producers were in no mood to take a risk against cricket mania. While Sarvam, earlier scheduled for an April release, was initially postponed to May 15, it’s release has been pushed even further. Thoranai is expected to hit the theatres either on May 22 or May 29.

“The IPL has definitely affected the collections to a great extent and small films, released during the period, are getting washed out. And there is an impact on big films like Ayan in Chennai as well,” says L Suresh of Anandha Pictures, a veteran distributor for the NSC territory.

In the case of the Telugu film industry, no big film was planned to be released during the period and hence there has been no postponement.

However, the IPL phenomenon has not impacted the collections at Prasadz, the multiplex owned by the Prasad Laboratories in Hyderabad.

“It is not IPL but the on-going tussle between the Bollywood producers and multiplex chains that is actually affecting us,” says T Srikanth, general manager, operations at Prasadz.

According to him, about 50 per cent of the audience visiting Prasadz are Hindi-movie goers. With no new Hindi film available for release, collections are dismal.

“We have released a few small regional films and they are doing reasonably well. This shows that IPL has not impacted the movie going public’s apetite in this city,” says Srikanth. There is always a segment of people, who go to watch films, irrespective of other events. For them, it does not matter whether it is the IPL or the World Cup, he added.

Really this IPL business is affecting another big business industry of India. What will happen If a movie of SRK will release at this time, WIll it work?? Or people will prefer to watch IPL. Think in otherway Aamir Khan (he is not in IPL) release a big movie at this time , Aamir Khan Fan will watch IPL or that movie ?? From this type of questioner we can get good analysis of IPL vs Bolywood (movie industry). It is a good research topics indeed.

IPL : the business/game

IPL business /game, is all about promotion and marketing. So After Hrs asked two young advertisers Bobby Pawar, national creative director of Mudra and Manish Bhatt, national creative director of Mudra executive creative director of Contract to review the TV ads of all the eight IPL teams and this is what they had to say about the teams' promotional efforts...
and Bobby Pawar,

According to Bobby Pawar:

Lacks idea - Mumbai Indians
This ad is devoid of an idea. And that is the nicest thing you can say about it! I am a fan and it did nothing for me. 'Chalo duniya hila denge?' Pehle mujhe toh hilao bhai!

Meaningless slogan - Deccan Chargers
The slogan of the ad is 'Go Chargers'. Considering that the venue shifted and the team had to 'go' to South Africa, this is borderline genius.

Bad music - Chennai Super Kings
I thought this is the video of a song by a boy band called Chennai Super Kings. But wait a minute, maybe that is what they are going for. Can you smell a music career? Err, maybe not!

All about Shilpa Shetty -Rajasthan Royals
A question: Is this a commercial for Shilpa Shetty or the Royals? Just checking.

Not bad - Kings XI Punjab
Something that resembles an idea, the execution though is run out. While the song is quite good actually.

According to Manish Bhatt:

Not so bad - Kolkatta Knight Riders
Compared to all other ads, this one is a decent attempt. The ad has a great opening sequence and the music is fresh. Generally Shah Rukh Khan looks superficial in ads, but here he looks involved. (Money at stake). Not having an overdose of cricket visually is a good idea.

Needs a new tag line - Delhi Daredevils
The tag line 'Khelo front foot pe' is defensive. Using cricket lingo (front foot pe) in cricket communication is lazy.

Complete misfit - Bangalore Royal Challengers
Remaking the title song of the Bollywood movie Shaan for Vijay Mallya's team is a complete misfit. Expecting Katrina Kaif and Rahul Dravid to bring energy in the video is being too ambitious.

Still in the ipl marketing, teams are doing good. They are making an impact. People are registering in the sites to get videos and songs. Some team sites are providing video in free also (Analysis later on).
