yeah….thats another reason…T20 has become just too much. 90% of all cricket this year has been T20. Everybody wants to be on T20 train. Just think, we have not played even 4 Tests in this whole year….

Overdose and Overhype will kill T20 ~!

The Problem is too much of T20 cricket.T20 is like Freestyle wresting,its about Power and less skills ( This is a opinion of a purist :)),so you just cannot take it more than a tournament or 2 in a year.

The problem with Champions League is there is no connection. Only 3 teams which have Indian names and the rest, from the audience perspective, are some overseas county teams.

The competition might get some audience going forward provided all the 3 IPL teams are there till the last 4.

Champions League should have waited one more year to let the fans digest IPL and have the city connection going.

One more thing they can do is, to allow 2 Indian players in all overseas champions league teams (other than the 3 IPL teams). This holds good if the tournament happens in India. If it happens some where else then that country takes precedence.

Most of these are band-aid’s to get it going. In the long run the organizers have to limit the amount of cricket played.

So this craze you are talking about where is it? In the hearts of young generation? They are not watching it on TV or in the stadium.

Agreed. Just yesterday I wrote a blog post about IPL vs. CL, and why CL doesn’t even come close to drawing the type of crowds and attention that IPL gets. Please see http://cricket-stalker.blogspot.com/2009/10/ipl-works-cl-doesnt.html
