I'd maybe go along once or twice if a game was close by, and the admission prices were directly exchanged from what they'd have been in rupees in India to sterling.

[url=http://uk.cricinfo.com/ipl2009/content/current/story/396514.htmlCricinfo[/url reports that South Africa is more favourable because of the weather and Lalit Modi is due to fly out there tomorrow for talks with CSA.

It's also less of a difference time wise isn't it? Makes it even more suitable imo.

Good. I couldn't bear it if we have that circus here.

wouldbe a good thing imo think of the crowa the revenue for the countys hosting the matche

will be a complete disaster IMO.



The weather for one is a major negative for playing in April.



Can the ECB guarantee security in the UK?



SKY wont like it, and seeing as though SKY are the only serious broadcaster the ECB has on its books, they would be daft to risk that relationship at the moment.



The only positive is to get some leverage over the Indian Cricket board in the future.

security wont be a problem over here the only problem would be the weather but i thinjk its worth the risk

irony detector going off the scale....

Logically South Africa makes more sense. The weather, dry wickets, the availability of the grounds, the time difference. It should be a relatively easy decision. So England it is.

Once the clocks go forward at the weekend South Africa are only one hour ahead of the UK so time difference will not be a factor. Think its been decided on the weather and going to South Africa,

I think that could be a key factor, as Sky have exclusive rights to live cricket in England, yet Setanta have the contract to cover the IPL. Once again, the situation in South Africa is easier, with the same broadcaster having rights to both domestic and IPL stuff.

what about SA . NZ

would probably make sense on many levels for Setanta to try and do some sort of deal with Sky.

SA confirmed

yes sa it is
