Chennai Super Kings playing Mumbai Indians in Durban or Cape town? Wow....
Will it work?
If it does, it means that cricket has taken one more step forward. A step forward on the road to globalisation.
What Lalit Modi may realise, sooner rather than later, is that this is the format of cricket that he might be able to sell to the US marketplace in a few years. I won't be surprised to find an IPL-ish tournament happening in the USA in some time! Its going to be a great journey for the sport in the next 20 years or so... my take is that, a few years hence, the ICC will be very grateful to him for widening the reach of cricket.
Amen to that and bring on the beers!
