Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa has urged the Prime Minister to direct the BCCI and ensure that Sri Lankan players and officials are not part of IPL 6 matches in her state.

Jayalalithaa made the demand in a letter to Manmohan Singh on Tuesday--a fallout of strong public opinion in Tamil Nadu over the alleged war crimes against Tamils by the Sri Lankan army during the civil war a few years ago in the island nation. As many as 10 IPL 6 matches are scheduled in Chennai, and 13 Sri Lankan players are taking part in the tournament. The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have two Sri Lankan players in their squad for IPL 6.

Along with the Australians, the Sri Lankans a
re the biggest draw in the IPL. In fact, the Delhi Daredevils are captained by Lankan stalwart Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara is the prime candidate to captain the Hyderabad franchise, Sunrisers.

Earlier, the Asian Athletics Championship, to be held in Chennai from July 3-7, had to be cancelled Jayalalithaa refused to host the Sri Lankan athletes.

MSD is playing unbelievable cricket at the moment and yesterday could have been yet another of his classic, but for Pollard. It was meant to be Pollard's night.

Sachin was furious at the decision yesterday and was having a go at the hapless umpire Kulkarni, who I think had a great match. Pretty shocked to see Sachin lose his temper that way.

Bad news for you pr

England news

Collier forced to make IPL plea
George Dobell
April 9, 2013

David Collier, the ECB chief executive, has urged the BCCI to reschedule future IPL seasons to dovetail more successfully with the England first-class season in response to pressure from England players who are clamouring to participate in the event.

In an interview with the Times, Collier revealed that he had recently held talks with officials from the BCCI, Cricket Australia and Cricket South Africa with a view to finding a solution to the tensions created within international cricket by the growth of domestic T20 leagues.

Collier has contended that, in future years, the IPL can be completed before the end of April to allow England players to participate without compromising their involvement in England's international schedule which starts in mid-May. This year's IPL ends on May 26.

"We have had very fruitful talks with India," Collier said. "In an ideal world, we would like the IPL to be concluded by April 30, which is the cooler season for India. We have put that to them, they are doing their best, but they realise there are some limitations.

"It would make things a lot easier for us. We still have to get the workload balance right, but it would make it a lot easier for our players to be available for that period and certainly the BCCI are fully aware of that. There is a willingness on the part of both boards to see if we can make any progress."

The talks come in the context of the ECB re-negotiating the value of central contracts with England players. The players' union, the Professional Cricketers' Association, is requesting substantial pay increases to compensate its members for their non-appearance, or at best fleeting appearance, in the IPL, and have argued that Australian players earn far more from their Board and have more opportunity to appear in T20 leagues such as the IPL and Big Bash.

As a consequence, the ECB, eager not to raise the value of the contracts above sustainable levels, are seeking other ways to allow its players to supplement their incomes. Collier's India discussions have perhaps carried most importance in openly displaying a willingness to negotiate a better deal for England's players as they make their impatience clear about their exclusion from such a high-profile tournament.

There appears to be little scope for the IPL finishing before the end of April for the next three years. The World Twenty20 in Bangladesh is scheduled to run from March 16 to April 6 in 2014, with the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand likely to run from February until the end of March 2015 and the World Twenty20 of 2016 scheduled to run in India until mid-April.

While some have suggested the IPL could be shortened by scheduling three games per day, it seems unlikely that the BCCI would accept the subsequent reduction in advertising and sponsorship revenues.

ESPNcricinfo understands that tentative exploratory talks have also taken place with a view to the ECB being compensated for discontinuing one of their May Tests in return for allowing players to participate in the IPL. Such a move would bring the ECB into dispute with its broadcast partners, however, and so would be unlikely to happen in the short term.

Make a total of 140+. That's more than enough to choke CSK with your bowling lineup.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

How come Azhar Mahmood is playing for Punjab?. I thought Paki's weren't allowed in the first place.


He is now a British citizen...so he could get in...As a matter of fact he was there in the last edition as well

Happy with the 2 points but problems remain for CSK. Vijay scoring at 100 SR :hammer:

CSK's batting is still a large worry and as in every season, acceleration is a problem. Next game against Mallaya's boys at home, adhula thOthu maanatha vaangaadheenga :evil:

When cricket goes corporate
Among the IPL's most distinctive achievements is how it has brought the world of Indian business into the game
Amrit Mathur
April 11, 2013

Five seasons on, the hype and the noise surrounding the event have obscured the IPL's identity as a fully functioning business enterprise. The league's alliance with the Indian corporate world has set up for Indian cricket a multi-layered partnership with industry, giving private entrepreneurs unique access to Indian professional sport on a scale not seen before.

Judged from the business standpoint, the IPL is brilliant - a cricket tournament developed primarily as a valuable commercial property. Through its yearly summer carnival, the IPL has given corporate houses a chance to promote, push, advertise and aggressively market their businesses.

Fundamental to the IPL's business plan was the idea of inviting private enterprise to own an slice of the cricket business - which had till then been a closed club. When franchises were sold in perpetuity, at a steep entry price, the corporate world was told it could invest in, own, and in future even trade on key components of Indian cricket. This proposition turned out to be a commercial masterstroke.

Until then all domestic T20 teams around the world were merely first-class teams renamed but still controlled by cricket associations. South Africa had the term "franchise" in cricket before India did. In 2003-04, Cricket South Africa decided to concentrate the resources of 11 provincial teams by merging them into six franchises, but those were still managed by the folks running cricket in Durban or Johannesburg or Cape Town - only with sponsor names tagged on to the team names.

Before the IPL, Indian cricket had no real, meaningful relationship with industry and commerce, though there were big TV deals and sponsors paying serious money to put their logo on Tendulkar's chest. The BCCI was quite content to let a few big sponsors (the ones who could afford to pay the asking price) compete for the available rights.

By creating an arm of Indian cricket that could be run as a purely commercial enterprise, corporate India was allowed to enter Indian cricket's dressing room. The sale of the IPL franchises was the game-changing moment.

Limiting the number of teams in the tournament maintains a simple economic balance - that of demand outstripping supply, translating into rise in value. The side benefits that come with owning an IPL team are social status, and opportunities for image-building and networking: good for business, priceless for bragging rights.

Whatever happens to the franchises, the BCCI's own revenue is secure. Ever year it gets franchise fee payments ranging from US$37 million from Sahara Pune to $6.7m from Rajasthan Royals. There is also its share of central revenue, mainly from broadcast rights and from commercial sponsorships (this year from Pepsi, Yes Bank, Star, Vodafone and other partners).

With the BCCI protected from risk, it is essentially the franchise owners who carry the heavy financial burdens in the IPL. They have committed expenses (franchise fees, player costs, the costs of running, managing and marketing the team and of staging home matches). All of this could touch Rs 150 crores (about $27m) every year for a franchise.

The franchises' lifeline is their share of the central revenue generated by the IPL from the collective sale of broadcast and sponsorship rights. Central sponsorship is distributed to teams through a complex formula - a team's league standing has a bearing on what the franchise receives - and the average annual figure is approximately Rs 50 crores ($9m) per franchise. Given that there is a difference in revenue distributon of approximately Rs 1 crore (about $180,000) between each of the nine ranks in the league standings, the margin of earnings between the IPL winners and the bottom-placed team works out to about Rs 9 crore.

To break even, let alone make a profit, a franchise team has to strenuously work the assets available to it. Selling branding space on team uniforms is a major revenue stream. Logo branding has obvious media value, given live television coverage; everything starts with the team shirt.

Each franchise sells as many as ten properties on its team uniform. If marketed well, this could raise close to Rs 60 crores ($10m). The big money comes from the main team sponsor slot - the 206 square cm space across the front of the shirt, which can fetch about Rs 20 crores ($3m) per year. The six other logo spaces on a team jersey are expensive; the ones on the trousers and helmet fetch lower prices. Other licensing arrangements - which involve the use of the franchise's logo - come at more affordable prices (around 50 lakh or $92,000 a year).

Ticket revenue from home matches form another chunk of revenue. Some teams, Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi among them, will target ticket sales in excess of Rs 40 crores ($725,000) this season. (This is after 20% of the ticket inventory has already been given, as part of the franchise contract, to the IPL.)

The side benefits that come with owning an IPL team are social status, and opportunities for image-building and networking: good for business, priceless for bragging rights

The rules of engagement between cricket and industry have now changed to a more equal working arrangement - as against the BCCI's monopoly position. Due to the financial requirements of every franchise, commercial partners are no longer unwelcome guests, to be tolerated as long as they fork out the cash, but allies who deserve respect. Each IPL team has, on an average, 25 commercial partners - sponsors, licensees and suppliers.

The IPL has given everyone, from an MNC like Nokia to a local hosiery company like Lux Cozi, room to hawk their goods. The advertiser need not have a well-recognised pan-Indian presence. For instance, Manyawar, a brand headquartered in Kolkata, which sells formal Indian clothes for men, is now Kolkata Knight Riders' "ethinc wear partner". There is something for every size of corporate player.

It is the combined energy of approximately 250 such entities, all of whom are now players in the business of Indian cricket every summer, that fuels the IPL's economy. These new stakeholders drive growth by injecting resources and creativity into the system.

This is why the IPL is much more than a cricket carnival. Surrounding the action on the field, beyond the boundary is an entire world. A whirl of promotions, product launches, events, contests, road shows, celebrity appearances, meet-and-greets, fashion shows, movie tie-ups, and more.

As part of their outreach efforts aimed at building a fan base and at positioning their brand right, teams have organised cricket tournaments for slum kids, visited hospitals, led advocacy campaigns against disease, supported UN programmes for the girl child, and so on.

Cricket has for long been a big part of what connected corporate India to its customers, but before the IPL, corporate India did not have the kind of access to Indian cricket it now does. Due to this altered grammar, where the game is commercially driven, franchisees are in the business of reaching out and engaging with fans.

Five years since the IPL began, teams now have a better grasp of what needs to be done. The league is now firmly integrated into the Indian economy, and its financial results will reflect larger commercial dynamics at play, impacting all of the IPL's stakeholders - teams, players, sponsors and fans.

To an extent cricket, and the IPL, has not been much affected by the recession. There is still money being spent, but perhaps not as freely as before - questions are asked, concessions negotiated. The IPL is like a batsman who earlier hit through the line but now has to graft for runs and struggle on a track that is getting increasingly tricky.

The next article in this series will look at the impact of the IPL on players, what team owners look for, why they pay what they pay, trading, and emerging trends

A good article on business, economics and modus-operandi of the IPL.

[ajaybaskar]

Acceleration is a problem? The strength of CSK is solid start and explosion at slog. MS,Bravo,Morkel at 5,6 and 8. Should we say anything more? In fact, Vijay has curbed his attacking instincts. And acceleration was not at all required for both matches as the target was below 150. Each player of CSK have the potential to turn the game on its head. Just wait and see. Our bowlers will gift runs one day and we'll chase a 180+ and you'll know what is acceleration. :)

+1 .

[19thmay]

Why big teams like CSK are not giving enough opportunities to Indian youngsters frequently, especially in the batting line up? Raina, Badrinath, Jadeja, Vijay alright but why not others in the top 5? No exploration of talents at all. I guess this is happening for the past 4 years. I remember Anirudha played once or twice. I expect Aparjith gets chance to bat.

[hamid]

Thats because CSK has good and performing Indian stars in their lineup..they are not a tem who make many changes..this is the most settled side in the IPL.. and most importantly they dont get qualified to the semis in the earlier part of the tournament to experiment :|

Winning is all that matters in IPL..sadly..

[ajaybaskar]

Sridhar,

Teams like CSK have pressure to perform every day. Take CSK for example. They've qualified for the semis/playoffs all seasons and they would not want to unsettle a proven side.

Huss/Vijay/Raina/Badri/MS/DJB and Albie all have played match winning innings for CSK over the years. People like Baba and Vijay Shankar are in the team to get a feel of big stage. During next year's auction, we may lose some players and these new guys will be handy then.

[scorpio]

Thambi Ajay- Rombha optimistic :-) I'll reserve my judgement until CSK posts or chases 180+ scores. I shouldn't conclude by just 1 innings, andha MI match-la Raina out aana vidham kaNNulayE nikkudhu. Raina's good form is a must for us to win, hope he comes good.

[ajaybaskar]

More often than not CSK has successfully chased big totals or at least have made a match out of it. I hardly remember any meek surrenders. And on the accusation of slow starts, naamalavadhu bell illamathan varrom. Pinnadi oruthan cycle'eh illama varraan (MI) :wink:

Steyn to Jayawardene, no run, superb delivery. That's a Test-match delivery, but not quite Test-much keeping from Parthiv Patel. Perhaps he is not used to this kind of swing. Steyn bowls a perfect outswinger, Jaywardene pushes at the length, gets a solid edge to Parthiv's right, but he seems to have followed the angle and his weight is towards leg before he changes direction and dives wide of off. He gets a hand to this but the catch doesn't stick

[ajithfederer]

Steyn to Jayawardene, no run, superb bowling. Wicket-maiden. Another outswinger, the edge is soft this time, but White does really well to dive to his right at second slip and field this

What do you have to say about the fickle nature of fans?

I realize the fickle nature of success and that of the fans. Failure is bound to make me the butt of ridicule, as I have seen in the past. Many unsavory things were written about me when I was struggling to make a mark and was in and out of the Indian team.

It was so disheartening after I was dropped, and people poked fun at me on the Internet. Of course, I have no control over that. But I have worked hard, performed consistently in domestic cricket to get back my place. Though I did pretty well in the series against Australia, I don't think I have cemented my place in the team. India are playing most Tests away from the subcontinent now and I'm not sure whether I will be part of the playing XI.
