 got news on the website ‘The Australian’, the heading was ‘Where the wickets are paved with gold’. Do you think which wickets are warped with the precious metal gold? It is nothing but India. There is nothing to say newly about Indian cricket. Recently BCCI inaugurate Indian Premier League (IPL). The prize money is too high than any cricket matches. The players who have relation with IPL are earning a lot of money from the tournament. The payers who are playing well in the matches are getting more money. So it is totally a game of money.

The Australian wrote:

At least two of the Australians have earned $3000 or more per run scored. And it didn't matter what sort of run. A nice cover drive and an ugly outside edge were equal in the eyes of the benevolent bean-counters.

Ricky Ponting went for a relatively modest $400,000 when sold at auction in February to the Kolkata Knight Riders, a franchise so wealthy its pads, gloves, helmets and God knows what else appear to be plated with gold.

The Australia captain was no doubt a little put out to learn his trusty all-rounder Andrew Symonds was bought for $1.35million by the Deccan Chargers, but did not complain too loudly.

In the end, Ponting has emerged as the highest paid Australian batsman when earnings are worked out on a rupees-per-runs-scored basis.

I just have quote these three paragraphs. If want to know more you can visit that site.

Cricket was never a game for Indians. It is always like a war or god. which we praise.
And the businessman and money makers knows this, and they are using it in pretty well way. 

So, money & cricket is always involved and will ever be...it was a gentlemen game when it was up to white color, not now....

The Australians are the highest paid cricketer in the world...so it is obvious to hire those cricketers IPL would have had to pay the price.20/20 seem to be the inthing in today's cricket.
