I thought that was enough to make you understand .

I'm afraid, that wasn't.

Try harder next time.

long term, if they increas the franchises, i think splitting it into two 6 team divisions would work, the top two going into the semi-finals. kinda like the america has east and west conferences.

india can easily support 12 teams, it would also keep the tournament at a reasonable length despite the expansion.

the one thing I hate is that all the players are currently going to be up for grabs, tendulkars thing about each team retaining 8 players (8 the bare minimum, more would also be fine) is an absolute must. I would imagine, was there to be a real loyalty to franchises, warne, watson and pathan should be very popular in rajasthan, it would be unfair for them to lose them all.

I agree with Stinky on the two 6 team division thing like they have in NBA, NHL and MLB. But what teams are going to be in the east and west conferences is my question.

With 10 teams in the next IPL, they can seperate it into 2 groups of 5 each and have them play home and away games. Have a quarter-final or a Super Eight system like its used in the World Cups. I still support only a single final. We want one big game to end the whole tournament which is all about the hype. Dont want three big games our which two could potentially end the tournament.

I will always wouldn't mind having best of three finals.

Next time they must reduce IPL to less than a month.

No I wouldn't like it.
Due to exams in March I wasn't able to watch half the IPL, but due to long tournament I was able to watch the rest half of it.

Well guys, This season has already seen the best of three. Mumbai has faced Chennai in two league matches and the third is the FINAL. Its mature to think that out of three CSK has won fair and square. You can't think of having another three matches.
