What do guys think about this article.- Coronavirus scare: Plea in Madras HC against IPL 2020, Karnataka government seeks advice on matches in Bengaluru. Source

I do not think it is possible to postpone IPL. I think they might not allow spectators to come to the stadium.

Quote from: Little Mouse on March 11, 2020, 11:54:32 PM

If it is to be true, I think it's better to postpone the IPL, why not. Otherwise, this season, IPL will face a huge loss. There is nothing wrong in postponing the season, may be it will be hard to get a schedule later but still it is better than facing a loss.

@pakhittheboss my Indian friends have informed me that the virus is spreading really fast out there, and BCCI has two options out in their hands i.e. one allow spectators inside and sanitise them or play the match behind closed doors and let people watch it live from their homes. @Little Mouse don’t worry the IPL won’t be postponed under any scenario because BCCI loves money, and they’ll do everything in their power to keep the league alive but we will have to wait for few more days to see what solution do they come up with.

Do you really think they will be at loss if they don't allow spectators inside stadium ?

Think again after reading that . Stadium earnings are ofcourse a significant part of their overall earnings but I am pretty sure they can manage to make good profits by just televising and not allowing people inside the stadium .

SL and India looking strong as compared to other teams. OZ squad is very disappointing, only 3 familiar names (Brett Lee, Brad Haddin, Brad Hodge)

I was surprised to see the veterans coming back and playing the game, just now watched some highlights from youtube and it looks really great, expect the fact that these bowlers have reduced their pace because of old age and the standard of the game is pretty decent even at this age. I wonder how Brett Lee is able to bowl now without the pace, so it this going to be a regular tournament from now on or just a one off tournament.

Yeah! Considering almost everyone is around 45 +- year old, they are doing great job. One Windies bowler Tino Best was clicking 140 km/h every now and then, Although he's young 38ish as compared to other fast bowlers. Brett didn't get to play yet, may be next match...

Nope no regular tournament.. but have to say, so far easy money on every game.

Zimbabwe were no match for Bangladesh in their T20 series, I'm not sure how long this can continue for Zimbabwe as its becoming a joke now with the way they play cricket in all forms of the game. Something really needs to change or they risk not having a team in the future, its a shame to see a team that has been around for almost 30 years playing so poorly.

You are right now time for ICC to act and have some strict policy about this because its really hurting badly they are really shit as team in all formats with very poor skills with big defeats which are not helping any one.

In my honest opinion, I think it is time for Zimbabwe to leave the ICC because the way they are playing doesn't really help the game of cricket. We need a more even competition and having Zimbabwe playing the way they are is an easy win for almost all the other teams so a change needs to happen sooner rather then later.

The final decision will be taken tomorrow whether or not to cancel IPL. The cases have reached Mumbai too. It's declared a pandemic now and I am shocked to see everyday the number of cases reported are above 100 especially in Italy and Korea. India's number is less as of now but now they are screening people and isolating them till April 14th.

Most likely they'll cancel IPL as people may not even reach the stadium.

^^^^ India wasn't affected much from the Coronavirus outbreak, at least during the initial phases. But that situation is changing very quickly. During the last week or so, more than 50 individuals have been diagnosed with COVID 19, and almost a dozen were diagnosed during the past-24 hours. Given the contagious nature of the outbreak, I have bleak predictions for the next few weeks and the IPL was scheduled to start in two weeks from now.

IPL , one of the most viewed T20 tournament in the world might not be played this time . The fans start preparing for the upcoming IPL as soon as this years IPL gets over but the long wait might be ( not yet confirmed ) will go in vain as many activists are voicing against conducting the tournament this time because of the Coronavirus threat.

What is your reaction to this , do you want them to play or do you think its not worth the risk .

Why cancel tournaments where crores of rupees are involved and would lead to huge losses. People can instead be screened at the entrance before entering the stadium instead of cancelling a huge event. Also, coronavirus is not that fatal as it's made out to be.

Why can't they organize a tournament similar to the WBBL?

No idea bro, may be @Vishnu.Reang is right in his post. we can only hope that BCCI come to their senses soon.

Though women cricket might have lower viewership and advertising revenue, hosting one would not be a big hassle for the BCCI. After the success of Mens franchise football, the womens league is also being hosted since 2016 and for last couple of years, they also have gathered some amount of attention. Cricket in T20 format would attract more people if hosted properly.

Watching my childhood stars play was really something

And INDL winning both the matches makes me even more happy. If it wasnt for Irfan and Kaif, IND would have lost to SL yesterday. Sachin, Shewag and Yuvi getting out for few runs was a bit disappointing. But enjoyed the match anyhow. I think that SL team has better players compared to the other teams

Bad news- Murali is not playing tonight. Royse your wish will not be fullfilled.

Well Sachin did not last long too, a duck for him lol
Howevr India won by five wickets which matters at the end I guess. I would support Sri Lanka if Arjuna was there :-P

When I started watching the first innings all childhood cricket memories came back. It was good bowling by Indians actually , Zaheer , Pathan as well as Goni were swinging the ball very well .
Although was disappointed to see Sachin not scoring , was very happy to see Pathan scoring well . He saved the match but more importantly he made it entertaining.

This is really a good series because seeing the legends play together after so many years just take you back to the good old days. SL picked up quick Indian wickets but still could not win the match. Irfan and Kaif still looked so fit and because of this they could help India win the match. Kaif was out at 45 and Irfan was not out at 57 in just 31 balls played a vital role.

Agreed with "Greedy" part. I think after 2 WC final lost they might wake up and do something, I don't mind if they start with small campaign such as 4-5 teams in start, completely fine with it as far as our girls playing competitive tournament.

Why can't they organize a tournament similar to the WBBL? In WBBL, they have the same teams that play in the men's tournament (BBL). Similarly, the BCCI can ask the IPL franchises to have a women's squad as well and organize a 8-team WIPL tournament. This will be better in terms of financing and infrastructure, rather than forming new franchises specific to the women players.
