How to curb it is a big problem in front of BCCI. Probably they find it easy to let it happen and once Police finds out, just suspend those players.

Agreed, that there is lot of money involved centered around few people, but BCCI is much stronger than any of those and it indeed is keeping all the controls with itself. Also, look at the way it is benefiting the upcoming players to show their talent or those players who have passed their peak years to play for Country and would never get a chance. As far as this Spot fixing issue is concerned, as Mr. Shrinivasan said their could be one or two rotten eggs, doesn't mean whole IPL is bad. Also, IPL started just 6 years back, but we already have cases of Azahruddin, Jadeja and Prabhakar revealed more than 15 years ago( who played solely for their Country). drkaustubhjoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749199409324631990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325522332493108358.post-35013884447390864702013-05-17T01:37:14.921+05:302013-05-17T01:37:14.921+05:30ipl has become a playground for easy money.i say,a...ipl has become a playground for easy money.i say,a form of cricket like ipl should be banned.here ,in this players do not play for their country ,instead they play for some tycoons who eye for easy money through marketing of cricket instead of nationalising it as a game.gunjan kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16159408068402907816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325522332493108358.post-10898630215755377562013-05-16T16:18:50.288+05:302013-05-16T16:18:50.288+05:30@mysay: Your words,"It is greed and lust and ...@mysay: Your words,"It is greed and lust and fear which brings corruption in minds and acts !!" pinpoints the whole scenario.drkaustubhjoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749199409324631990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325522332493108358.post-53314086034951700202013-05-16T16:00:58.094+05:302013-05-16T16:00:58.094+05:30Reasons might be any and many .. pawns can be the ...Reasons might be any and many .. pawns can be the knight or vice versa .. bottomline the fanship from the game will suffer sooner than later .. be it Sreeshanth or the guys who were put on question prior to this or even the Pak players held guilty .. the choice has been individual and no matter how much an underworld or over world pressurize ... everyone can be a Dravid or Sachin..<br />It is greed and lust and fear which brings corruption in minds and acts !!<br />This happened with Azhar and Jadeja as well !<br />BCCI can curb this greed down in no ways because its is one of the reasons why cricketers have become greedy !! <br /><br />KaJo ... ethics and principles in life come from moral values ... and the fact is India has lost moral values be it commoners or celebs !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325522332493108358.post-42352267998013282362013-05-16T15:03:40.943+05:302013-05-16T15:03:40.943+05:30@magiceye and Ali: I wonder how much is enough to ...@magiceye and Ali: I wonder how much is enough to keep greed under control.drkaustubhjoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749199409324631990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325522332493108358.post-88350144156958202022013-05-16T14:15:55.332+05:302013-05-16T14:15:55.332+05:30Just plain GREED.Just plain GREED.magiceyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848851692951192508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325522332493108358.post-64202891585191437782013-05-16T13:55:18.549+05:302013-05-16T13:55:18.549+05:30They should just be banned and removed , i think g...They should just be banned and removed , i think greed it is The Mukhtiarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820859098668959132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325522332493108358.post-3456181941883467972013-05-16T13:42:31.433+05:302013-05-16T13:42:31.433+05:30It indeed is.
