The last blog I wrote was when Bangalore Royal Challengers were losing, but what happened on 24th May made it mandatory that I re-write somethings out here while they have re-written their fate out on the field.
Deccan Chargers won but to me Kumble and his men will be the better team. I have always admired Kumble for his hardwork and sincerity towards the game. While many of his peers have got alot of recognition, he has gone about his work silently and successfully and today with the same silence he has brought back a team from the ashes to life, if that ever was possible!!!
IPL and its future:
The IPL governing body are seriously considering the possibility of hosting this event twice a year, the main one in India and a smaller scale IPL abroad. They sure are going to make alot of money but do they ever think of the players. Just because players are being paid money they cant be treated like bonded labour. They have a very taxing international calender and to add to that this money making business!!!! The ICC should oppose this move if they are in their right senses, but guess what, their brains have been placed in a rather inconvenient part of the body making it difficult for them to be rational. Afterall it is the BCCI which gives them the funds to run the show.
The question that arises in my mind now is, will the players oppose this move? Can money override international commitments and pride of playing for the country? Will they be bold enough to stand up to Modi & Co and tell them that they are human and not machines? Do you know what I think, they wont stand up, because this is business to them and profits are the only reason businesses run. So as long as the human machine works, providing for depreciation of course,this business of cricket will go on....
