I had the privilege of watching the ChennaiSuperKings vs HyderabadDeccanChargers and i just loved every movement of the match in spite of the flop show by CSK.
I feel pity for the cricketers to toil in such hot and humid conditions, we were not even able to sit in the stands in the heat.
The great MAC stadium which has produced some great games was changed into an Live Rock Concert stadium with full fledged bands,lights of all colors, mega size speakers and offcource the dancing cheer girls. For each and every ball, the speakers will open up and shout the latest gana song in full sound not to mention when a four or six is scored. Its just great to notice that in spite of so much of noise and distractions (cheer girls) the players got to concentrate and perform. As you know the T20 even a few balls can change the course of the game , its too much pressure on the players and I feel its very very tough on the players.
I feel the IPL organizers should schedule the games during feb-march and not in the hot conditions, this period is summer for whole of India and i am not sure why IPL chose this time of year for this tournament. I will not be surprised, if few players go unfit due to the immense pressure and heat.
For the spectator, yes its just great. Finish your work by 7-7.30 in the evening and enjoy the game like a evening show movie. I am sure BCCI and IPL will learn from this edition of IPL and change things for the Good of the Spectators and the Players.

Agreed that its tough on players...but IPL is about money and attention. The summer vacation is the best time to get the attention of a wide variety of people...feb-march is exam time for the whole of India, and they will dare not have the matches at that time for therez a danger that the student community (and hence their families) will be forced to abandon the matches!!!
On the other side, we dont ve to be so considerate about the players..they chose to play afterall !!!
