IPL!! IPL!! IPL!!

Is it really Indian Premiere League? Come on!! Be frank. Call it International Premiere League.
Some crazy rules like 4 foreign players only allowed and rest are local lads.
But the sad part is that most of the times only with these foreign players the home team scamper home. How horrendous to see all these and still believe that this is being played in the best interest of cricket?! Its all about business and glamor thats all.
Secondly its also heartening to see good players and great players being auctioned.
How on earth can such things happen? Only commodities can be auctioned or secondly in medieval  age SLAVES were auctioned.
Its very clear that Ex-cricketers play this tournament for sustaining their markets and the young crop of cricketers play for the riches. The essence of cricket is long lost.
I feel that people will not be ready to play the  long and the longer formats any more and it is also visible these days.
Last and most important thing. Since it has become an accepted norm of  Wham-Bham smack all over the park kind of cricket, why genuinely kill bowlers and their art? Its all the way tailor made pitches for these kind of cricket, it would be better instead of bowlers use programmable Bowling machines by both the sides and have all 11 batsmen to whack the red cherry!! Atleast the bowlers morale and art of good bowling will be preserved for posterity.
