Do you think that the tournament running for more than a month will get bored? Also i was not able to see the match continuosly for 2 days at night. So will all have the same impact as i have now? And dont you think that more than one month is too long for any series. People will get tired off and the number of audiences will get reduced as the time passess by.

Yeah Descorpio ... I also thinks in that way that this is very long tournament. But this is just to pay back money to the franchisee and nothing else.

They have arrange this tournament so smartly ... organisers give enough time for every venue before starting new match so that people can relax and also ready for the next rival match. Believe me BCCI is getting more and more smart day by day ... Thanx to Mr. Dalmiya who created all this and taught them how to earn money.

Anyways , aayesha - we are gonna meet your team tomorrow. And yes - the tournament seems a bit large but that will also build up the fight to the finals Smile

well i dont think its that long!!!!
Well we all see world cup streching so long & still we enjoy each of its game, same is the case here. Also there the games are of shorter duration & thus more exiting. So we are given enough time to enjoy the game & also the franchises can recover their money.
As for Dalmiya as Aayesha said, he changed the business aspect of cricket!!!
& now BCCI is relishing on that to make cricket a global sport

I dont think it is too long, but I do think some people might get bored, I won't, 3 hours is just nice.........

Some of the matches are on after midnight here in Australia and so because of the lateness, one must record the game to watch at a reasonable hour

Well this is no doubt very long tournament as per the days are concerned. But however just 4 Hours match will keep the momentum and people will love to watch. This was the beginning of the new era in world of cricket and in future we will see certainly this kind of event every year ...
