Stupid teams, stupid 'celebrity' mascots no one has ever heard of, awful commentary, massively corrupt, mostly has-been players, no atmosphere, no decent matches and goes on too long. Other than these trifling points I quite like it.... :D

I dislike the IPL, As Pedals said, The games are tedious and all this gimmick with every catch affiliated with certain companies, Just give me test cricket please.

this reminds me of a very successful hindi movie called Sholay :)

On another note, my friends in US/Canada who wish to watch this use the link http://us.ipl.indiatimes.com/ its free and legal. Parent company of Indiatimes purchased the rights to show matches online last year and its actually a lot better than i thought it would be. Don't know if it would work anywhere else but ppl can always try...

It's cricket on TV before our season starts so it will attract some to it but has never been an easy watch with the overselling of each delivery/catch/four/stumping/six/run out..... It makes it all rather boring and rather offensive to those with a brain really, having said that I watch it for Chris Gayle....

I watch it for the dot balls.  Shame you don't see an ironic sort in the crowd with a poster to raise aloft over his head for every dot ball.  You don't often see a solid forward defensive in T20, we should celebrate vociferously when we do.

I wonder if Matt Smith has learnt anything about cricket yet? It has to be the most cringe worthy presenting team in the world.

But it is a distraction to work at least.

Apart from the over selling and the celeb involvement I really like it.

Love to watch the classical masters like tendulkar and kallis showing they do t20 format too.

   
no atmosphere,

I must be missing something here

it is cricket on free tv which involves lots of dlf maximums hot dancing girls and is colourful, ideal for me to watch with my son.
accept its limitations and enjoy it is my view.

It's cricket on terrestial TV, you never know, it might inspire the next Bell or KP to take up cricket, which can only be a good thing. Not everyone has Sky.

not sure about the cricket, but I am happy to watch more of isa guha, she was on. good form today.

actually I am loving being able to watch some cricket, even if the is a slight tendency towards the agricultural style of batting. 
dravid looked quality today though.
