IPL-2009 Matches Fixed
I am writing this blog after watching the Rajasthan Royals batting against Mumbai Indians, when it clicked to me that most if not all matches in IPL are fixed. RR got out for a mere 103 that too against MI. The match has not ended yet but I am sure that MI would easily win this match without losing many wickets.
Their is a simple logic to this. If all teams played according to their initial predictions then by the mid of the round robin matches we would have 4 clear winner and 4 clear loser ie we would know which teams are going to the semis and which are not. This would make the remaining of the match uninteresting and the teams would lose the valuable ad revenue as people would stop watching subsequent matches. All teams know that their is more money in playing high TRP matches then winning the IPL. So it is in their interest that matching remain interesting to the people and they have high TRP. Winning and losing does not help or hurt teams much apart from a little loss of face which I think any able manager would know.

most of the IPL matches are fixed as is
I recieved this message on my cell phone from an unknown number on 20th may early morning.
Ipl future predicted -
Super kings will win today and RR will loose…Bangalore will loose against DC, but still thay make into semi due to run rate.
sem1 delhi vs dc
semi rc vs csk
royal challengers win IPL2 comfortably.
Since now only one prediction was wrong, lets see the future. What a wate of time IPL is as they think we are idiots watching those fixed games and even our players act perfectly thats the reason they suit more in add than cricket

It was too obvious if Challengers won it.
BTW IPL 20 is a joke. Theres no reason for a team like Challengers to be in the Finals. Last IPLs bottoms finish top 2.
Think of the number of catches dropped.
Think of the number of teams that have lost from winning situation.
Just look at the quality of dismissals.
Think of the number of times Lalit Modi had a nice laugh thinking ” HOW FUKING DUMB ARE THESE PPL!!!”
