But I must disagree with your predictions about IPL. To my mind it is part of a transition from 50 overs to 20 overs cricket just like the transition from 5+1 day match to 1 day match. In general, people are running out of patience. That is one of the reasons we go for fast food nowadays. In the coming years, more and more cricket would be 20-20 matches played in the evenings. You are absolutely right about the jingoistic angle. My take is that IPL will stumble initially and then become very powerful indeed as the time angle starts winning over the jingoistic angle. Another aspect is that it would further fuel the trend of regionalism a la raj thakeray which is to say whoever is driving this trend would like to see IPL matches generating some tension.
