"Champion of Champions" Chennai Super Kings

[JamesDap]

why are you so stressed out about IPL and CSK? That was a simple question!...hmm....whatever keep the thread rolling..

P.S (not targeted at you Dilbert): On the hindsight, I am proud that a Chennai guy heads the most powerful sport body of India, which was traditionally mumbai-dominated and in spite of all the pressure from different sides got back into the leadership position. Winning a power politics at such high level is even more prestigious than the game of cricket. I don't mind the ethical angle at all, as the court has allowed him.

This is precisely the kind of parochialism that politicians feed on to get away even as players are stigmatised and denied a career in cricket. Do you seriously believe Srini mama or Pawar uncle care even one bit about Chennai or Mumbai? One look at their pot bellies should tell you where the money goes. When I tried to get tickets for the India-England Test at Wankhede last year, I found daily tickets were not being sold online! Er, so much for their desire to promote cricket in the country. And they have the temerity to complain about empty stands for Test cricket when it is they who do their best to sabotage it (perhaps so that they can kill it for good in the country and make IPL the sole exclusive property).
