I hope so too.. If cricket cheerleaders are anything to go by, dont worry they will be sideshow - besides those cheerleaders are more for local audiences, not TV - lets see how it works out.

I still think the league system will work best if started with cricket. People need to go see the game in person even if tendlya is not playing. Package it with filmi stars, food, fireworks etc. I am from Ahmedabad and I tell you it is bound to succeed atleast in Ahmedabad. Us desis are veery social and if something gives us a chance to go where there are lots of people we will do it willingly. Every saturday and sunday you have a mad rush to go eat at the restaurants - reasons are simple - so they can talk about how they ate alu-mutter at xyz restaurant - we have to wait 3 hours at the restaurants but thats cool we just sit on our scooters and just talk about everything under the sun.

Now if there were cricket matches in floodlights with Aishwarya Rai visiting or a hasya kavi sammelan in the 'lunch' break - add some kind of betting to this and gujjus will rush to watch these games..
