Saw rumours of this.

Huge wtf.

 

[Shri]

Wouldn't have happened if Modi was in charge. He is a ****, but a **** who knows the business.

 

[Spark]

Wasn't aware you could scrape a cricket team

---

Big news. Not sure what to make of it just now, I'll be watching closely to see why.

 

[brockley]

Their is a chance a 3rd one could be scrapped,one of the new ones.

 

[Cevno]

They will challenge it in courts according to owners and look to postpone the IPL.

BCCI is becoming a untamed monster.
And i am sure it was Lalit Modi's alleged close association with these teams that lead to the scrapping.
I think the government needs to step in and tame this BCCI monster led by India cements and Srinivasan(chennai owner and board secretary) who is a double faced crook.

 

[Prince EWS]

Wonder if they'll replace them. Probably a bit late for that.

Kochi apparently under threat too.

Someone will request a correction to the thread title within the next hour. Doesn't bother me.

 

[Cevno]

Will be interesting how the other teams react to this.

I am sure they can't accept the BCCI act like this and scrap teams at their own whims and fancies.


I think all the teams except Chennai controlled by the board secretary and next president ,should look to boycott IPL and take BCCI to court.

Well 8 sides,12 overseas pros,6 sides get to keep 4 players each,big players up for auction now.
Shane may retire now since he has lost his coaching job.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Good riddance to bad rubbish, IMO. Helps that RR and KXIP weren't classy teams enough in my view (apologies to Warne/Smith/Jaya/Sanga). Brings the number of teams back down to 8, and lets the remaining franchises (including any future ones) know that the BCCI means business.

I know the two teams will drag the BCCI into court, but I can't see things changing significantly. The BCCI are perhaps the shrewdest cricketing body on the planet, they don't take drastic measures without doing their homework. They've even managed to scare Lalit Modi from returning to the country, FFS

 

[Jono]

Back to 8 teams?

This is only a good thing

 

[Flem274*]

Scrap Bangalore!

 

[Jono]

^ Ross Taylor would just be picked up by someone else in the auction tbh

 

[Flem274*]

Knight Riders.

As long as Taylor's team doesn't make the CL I don't care who he plays for.
