Ah Lalit Modi outsmarted kapil dev Grin

It was a power move by the BCCI, they warned all the advertisers to stop advertising the ICL and if they continue to do so they will not be able to sponsor the Indian team and when they played that dirty game all the advertisers moved away and they banned all the players who signed with the ICL.
If it was outsmarting then you would understand but it was pure evil power on display destroying them in every way possible.

Once "The 100 Balls" gets little success then BCCI can do something about it. They did same with the T-20 format, English board invented the format but they were bit cocky to take this format seriously, result BCCI hijacked the idea and rest is history.

India won the first T20 World Cup and that took the format to a different level and IPL just became the spectacle.

Ah well, Big fish eating small fish, same old story..

Yeah and at start BCCI and ECB thought that T-20 is for amateur, including many cricket legends. BCCI learned their lesson quickly but ECB took their sweet time.
