View on the IPL from South Africa

I don't think it can be doubted that the IPL was a success, but there are the odd words of warning in articles like this one from South Africa.

I also saw another report that talked about "the odd bit of cricket in amongst the adverts" which doesn't bode well. If Modi doesn't listen and has his dollar sign blinkers on, the IPL will crash in the same way as the world economy. Perhaps not next year, or the year after, but eventually. It will be interesting to see if he's in it for short-term gain or is building something for the long-term.
