On television tonight I was watching the frustrated face of Lalit Modi screaming on television rather proudly on how IPL will now be played in South Africa or England this year. Some other BCCI staffer announced that due to the rather negative attitude of the Government this was inevitable.
My points are as follows:
1. The BCCI was stupid to have planned for this date clash with the elections. Knowing reality and taking action is prudent rather than take the stupidest form of risks. Security is about spectators too.
2. The Home Ministry was rather sedate in its approach to resolve issues. I think we did not try enough. It is apparent that the Sports Minister in the Government has no say, nor can he contribute.
3. I still feel that IPL could have been held in India and in some form or the other, maybe with reduced matches or some other way.
4. Sometimes money and pride make human beings vulnerable and this is also another example of the same.
5. I feel sorry for ourselves that we did not work as a team to make this happen. The Government and the BCCI; both are at fault.

The contradiction is intentional if that's what you are indicating at.
