Look at the players:
1. Saurav Ganguly- The most successful & aggressive captain India has come across. Still a crowd puller with thousands of genuine fans. Every body seems to be afraid of Ganguly the man rather than the player.
2. Wasim Jaffer - The most prolific run-getter in the history of domestic cricket. Led and still leads Mumbai & west zone from the front. Poor guy does not know what wrong has he done to be treated thus, this in spite of a deodhar century this season. Most wronged India-player till date, shabbily treated after Mr. Srikant took over the selection mantle.
3. V R V Singh- the lesser mortal of the three. But not a bad player to be ignored by the IPL clowns.
The first two players above are any day better than a Mahela Jayawardene or the score of Aussies who have managed to come in through the ,Aussie coaches'.
This is where B C C I is making the biggest mistake. If it can not sell its genuine cricketers then why it should own the IPL circus at all ? Who the heck are these fading film stars and business magnates to decide who plays cricket in India ? If the hundreds of cricketers who shoulder the domestic (essential) cricket in India are not benefited by the IPL, then we can do with out the farce called IPL. It shouldnt be outgrowing the board or even the game.
