IPL, not in India?

Whoa! seriously the state can't provide security for 7 matches being played across a duration of six weeks? Surely some heads should start rolling in an ideal world.

Don't get me wrong and I do agree that conducting the election is of utmost important compared to the frivolous cricket matches. Still you just need a heavy security cover for the polling and counting days, otherwise by and large the security apparatus will be quite free.

Is this something to do with Congress flexing it's muscle to meets it's own ends because only the states that are being ruled by their governments have been at the forefront of creating bottlenecks for the IPL. Whatever the reason, I think the powers that be should be made answerable to why they can't guarantee the security while the election process is on? Because if you go by that logic then the criminals can make a killing while the big brother is away trying to guard our right to vote in a peaceful and safe environment. Like that ever happens, truth be told they play their part in making sure that the government of the day gets an advantage over it's rivals.

Now coming onto the fact that 'Indian' Premiere league will be played in England or South Africa, it just doesn't have the same appeal as it was the last time around. Some how the second season no longer appeals to me any more, lets see if come April 10'th I'll even bother to catch it on television.
