IPL: Disaster in the Making彩光：災害，在決策
IPL is a crash commercialization attempt of India’s mass hysteria with cricket.彩光是一個崩潰的商業化，企圖對印度的大規模歇斯底里與板球。 The staggering valuation of the city based teams and then the players show how much the investors estimate the potential worth, primarily in Ad revenue, of this market.令人吃驚的估值城市基於隊，然後球員們顯示了多少投資者，估計潛在價值，主要是在廣告收入，這個市場的。 They however miss a simple fact.然而，他們錯過一個簡單的事實。
Indian’s love to watch cricket only when their national team is playing .印度的愛看板球只有當他們的國家隊正在發揮 。 Any measure of television viewers for a match not involving their national teams is abysmally lower in comparison.任何措施的電視觀眾為比賽不涉及本國隊是abysmally較低的比較。 Take a look at how many people attend the Ranji matches and Duleep trophy, they all play to empty stadiums!採取看看有多少人出席ranji比賽duleep獎杯，他們都發揮空洞的體育場館！
Recently ICL launched a very similar venture with city based teams and with star players to boot like Brian Lara.最近icl推出了非常類似的風險與城市為基礎的團隊和與球星開機一樣，布賴恩拉臘。 Based on all reports, ICL was a failure.基於對所有報告， icl是一個失敗的。 I can say for myself that I didn’t watch even a single match, didn’t feel any empathy for any teams including Kolkata team.我可以說為自己，我不看，甚至一個單一的比賽中，並沒有感到任何的移情，任何隊，包括加爾各答隊。
IPL, which is a copy in concept of ICL, is treading similar grounds and is most likely to be a disaster.彩光，這是一個複製的概念，在icl ，是對待類似的理由，是最有可能是一場災難。 I know I am not going to watch any of the matches.我知道我不打算觀看任何比賽。 As far as I am concerned it is a joke, albeit a very expensive one for the likes of SRK & Co.作為我來說，這是一個笑話，儘管非常昂貴，一為喜歡的srk公司
PS.保安局常任秘書長。 I think Sourav Ganguly has shown his sharp mind in the auction and build up a great team.我認為sourav據報導，已表明他的敏銳性，在拍賣中，並建立一支偉大的球隊。 My best on the winner would be Sourav’s team, considering he is the best Indian Captain and with a bone to pick with the likes of Dhoni & Rahul.我最好的贏家將是sourav的團隊，考慮到他是最好的印度船長和與骨挑選與喜歡的dhoni ＆拉胡爾。
Update: I have been proven wrong on both counts.更新：我已被證明是錯誤的兩方面。 IPL, first edition was a success by all measure, more so because of the involvement of filmstars like Saharukh Khan, Juhi Chawla as well as the immense appetite of Indian audiences with any kind of cricket.彩光，首版是成功的所有措施，更是因為參與filmstars想saharukh汗，朱希喬拉以及巨大的胃口，印度觀眾與任何種類的蟋蟀。 The stage is now set for professional leagues like USA.第一階段是現在訂定職業聯賽一樣，美國。
I also overestimated the capability and intelligence of Sourav Ganguli.我也高估了能力和情報的sourav ganguli 。 His leadership and batting in IPL was nothing to write home about.他的領導和擊球，在彩光沒有寫主頁有關。

I am impressed by your qualifications and the taragana network.我留下深刻的印象你的資歷和Taragana網絡。 But I must disagree with your predictions about IPL.但我必須同意您的預測彩光。 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.在我看來這是一個過渡，從50 overs至20 overs板球，就像過渡，從5月一天比賽一天比賽。 In general, people are running out of patience.在一般，人們正在運行的失去耐心。 That is one of the reasons we go for fast food nowadays.這是原因之一，我們去快餐現在。 In the coming years, more and more cricket would be 20-20 matches played in the evenings.在未來幾年，越來越多的板球會20-20場比賽在晚上。 You are absolutely right about the jingoistic angle.你是絕對正確的關於jingoistic的角度來看。 My take is that IPL will stumble initially and then become very powerful indeed as the time angle starts winning over the jingoistic angle.我採取的是彩光，將蹣跚初步然後成為非常強大，確實隨著時間的角度，開始贏得超過jingoistic的角度來看。 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.另一個方面是，它會進一步加劇的趨勢，區域一香格里拉raj thakeray這是說，無論是誰駕駛這種趨勢希望看到彩光比賽產生一些緊張。
