I don’t think ZEE TV would help anything for Indian Cricket. If ZEE TV is really keen in helping sports in India why did it pick up Cricket. India is doing good in other sports too but only problem is less funding for players for their life support. Sports persons get paid only when they win or else no money and no life, so how do any talented sport persons risk to be a sports person, unless they are economically sound.

But I totally agree with some of you that BCCI is too much into politics, only reason is Indian team is like an elephant its worth a fortune both when it’s alive or dead. BCCI gets is share from Commercials no matter Indian team wins or loses.

wow!
This is a fantastic idea of Zee TV. This is nothing but a challenge to Indian cricket board and selection committee as well. I am sure this affords will bring the good talented guys in future cricket.sellection committee has been influenced by board with their politics. In world cup 2007 the performance of the Indian cricket team (except dravid and veeru) is truly evidence of the poor selection by the cricket board. Why they want to keep for tendulakar in the Indian team. What is his performance for past 5 years? Why they want keep him still. I am agreed with others that is having tons of runs in this history of cricket. But where is team spriet? His runs never help indent team to win a single match. All runs are his personal records only.

Hope in future we will have good talented players in our Indian cricket team with help of ZEE TV League.
goodluck to indian cricket.

i dont think subhash has lot concern about indian cricket, he tries to make money [or make busy is sports channel] out of indian team flop show in WC. THAT’S ALL.
it is resembling like harry-packer series.
these two[subhash chandra & h.packer] are against to the cricket boards just b’coz they did not get the telecasting rights.
that series was utter fLop IN AUSTRALIA.

now we need good & genuine coach to team india, not like chappel who has bad intentions. eg;under arm bowling by his brother,when he was captain.so on…..

guyz I dont think these kind of domestic structure is going to help the indian cricket team any way. Because, even England has county cricket, is it making any kind of difference on the england cricket team? We have had a very good team as it is. Just think about players like–> sachin, ganguly, dravid, dhoni, yuvraj, sehwag and uthappa. Well for the past 3 world cups we had the best batting line ups in the entire world not just on paper, they undoubtedly are exceptionally talented cricketers than any one in the world. Unfortunately every time they are unable to perform in the critical times. I think leadership is the key factor which is not performing there. They suddenly loose aggression these players. Not just this world cup, in the last one and previous 2 versions its the same case. I thought Dravid should have shown some aggression there. People might say its a collective failure, but I did not see any kind of confidence in dravids face through out. Even when we were defending 192 against bangladesh. Not that its an undefendable total. We did defend that against srilanka twice the same total and why not a mere bangladesh.
Dravid really shown some sort of fear in his face through out the tournament and I believe that is where we lost half of it. Well I never seen such fear on the face of ganguly. He rather shown some aggression through out his tenure whether he performed or not and that really helped players themselves bring out some aggression in themselves.
No doubt dravid is a hard working player; however leadership is not all about hard working with in himself but its about leading 11 member team on the field. He did not even make proper bowling changes in the bangladesh game. I dont know how many concur with me. But I am completely convinced onthe fact that its a failure mainly on the captains part which ultimately showed up on team and hence on the whole nation. Its not right to sack dravid though. But choosing the best captain is much more important. I think now instead of giving captaincy directly in to the hands of yuvraj, I think its sensible to go back to ganguly.

As I already told you captaincy is not all about performing with the bat, its about leading the team of 11 aggressive people. thats where tendulkar failed when he captained the team and now dravid. Back home dravid has some kind of confidence which proved him successful, but never in his life time that he proved as confident on the away soils.

Seriously guys this will be the most ambitious project ever. There is a lot of talent out there which is going in vain because of the shitty politics of BCCI. I hope this will give the youngsters a good chance to prove nationally. Lets see how far this will go. Cheers for posting this. You guys rock !!!
