IPL Challenges, RECESSION N ELECTION

NO hike, no recognition, no rewards only retrenchment.With recession ruling the country the bad news goes on and on,how can it be good for IPL alone?
How can IPL be claimed as recession proof?
This can be true only in lines with the common joke that is being circulated,
Vijay Mallya would spend millions in hiring a world class player at the cost of a kingfisher pilot.. :)

I agree to the fact that the richest tournament earned a huge sum to all that were involved in the business during the first season.
However, with the nation facing the worst side of business cycle it is uncertain to expect the same result this season too.

With the big multinationals and Indian giants planning all possible strategies for cost cutting to
overcome economy contraction,it is unpractical to expect them to spend in fat figures for endorsement and sponsors.

Next, having known about the threat to cricketing world,how can we put the lives of cricketers
and the hundreds of thousand innocent lives at peril.

Private security forces might be arrranged by the IPL committee , however, it will be secure enough for the cricketers but there are all possibilities for the audience to become the victims for lack of security.
Security is a serious concern across the country, which cannot be by passed.
General election should be honoured and cannot be overlooked for the sake of the multi millionaire game.

Knowing the situation well ahead it is good to plan accordingly than regretting latter.

It is just the matter of entertainment to the public, if they miss this, it is not gonna cost much,
anyway we have twenty 20 wolrd cup and other matches scheduled for latter this year.

Needless to say, even the club leaders are capable enough to cope with the expense occurred so for in organizing the richest tournament.

However, the lives of world champions and innocent audience is priceless.

It is indeed doubtful if IPL would make the same profit as last year with recession dominating this season.
Hence, considering the challenges faced by IPL this season, BCCI shld rethink and take an optimum decision!!

Hmmm...article on IPL in a supposedly tech blog! Gud attempt though...but not sure i agree with what u said. I still feel we shud go ahead wid this season's IPL...just twist the schedule a little, to avoid clashing with the general elections (a fancy name for a farce held every 5 yrs!!). Reg security concerns, calling the event off will only accomplish what the terrorists want - personal opinion though!!
Keep writing...there's so much more to life than java...keep exploring....lookin fwd to more...
