Why did the chicken cross the road?

According to Le Chatelier:
 
The chicken crossed the road because there were too many moles of chicken
on the reactants side of the road equilibrium.

Lol not really caustic. I admire the way he has come up, like most of his music though could do with less of his singing ...

I think first credit should really go ICL, including Essel group, Kapil Dev etc. for kicking BCCI's arse to get into acion. Modi stole their show because of BCCI's backing..

and I know I am going at a tangent but he has the talent to do some classical scores, he did a very different score for Benares. His singing  ;D

A Job very well done. While i did not like these guys for their treatment to ICL . But this tournament was a treat to watch. The fielding standards of RR were better than international teams.

it is not the personnel but the format which is the winner.

ICL would have done as well but it didnt have the BCCIs support and hence not the players to make it big.

ICL should have had the kudos but BCCI saw to it that it didnt.

lalit modi deserves the congratulations for providing a great tournament but he was the lucky person (clever person) who with the blessing of the BCCI produced this extravaganza.

Not particularly directed at inoc, but why exactly is the format a winner? First,
T20 did not start with this tournament. There have been T20 tournaments in the UK for a while.

In general the format fits the schedules of people better than a test match or even a OD. That is a given. Beyond that, what was the win? Shorter formats necessarily allow for slambang players. So we will have T20 specialists just like we had OD specialists starting in the early 80's. If you ignore the masala entertainment, what exactly was the great difference between this and other limited overs matches?

This was cricket augmented with tamasha. If you like it, great. It attacted people who would not have come for the cricket alone.

In my books that is not a win.

I think the winner tag for the format comes about because its a cash cow.

it did not originate here, but the crowds (india's cricket crazy population plus the new variety attracted via the masala) and the concept of club 20/20 with an international cast (ICl's idea, not IPL's) is what has created the successful masala of entertainment, good cricket, and cash generation.

IPL will be good for Indian cricket (and to a lesser extent for other countries) IF some of the cash goes towards opening of academies that make cricketers AND if it makes its way to being prize money for non-IPL cricket. That way we will have a nice hierarchy of players, tournaments and money.

I suspect that it will not happen (especially the second part) and it wull just follow the model of the NBA (and perhaps other USA club sports) where all the money is for a select few.

On a related note: if you have not done so, do read Freakonomics, esp the Chapter titled "Why do drug dealers stay with their mothers?" (quoting from memory here)
