For me IPL1 was more interesting than expected while IPL2 was more expected than interesting.
Also IPL1 being the first time was more a game feeling than a win-win challenge.

I think IPL-1 was best,first because it was first version so people was more crazy about this experiment.
Second thing it was in India itself, we Indians are crazy about cricket…so the real feel was in India only ( hooting , rush for tickets and all)
Third the cricketers and franchises are more money minded this year, so a game can be best if it is played with Game Feeling not for money

No. IPL 1 is better than IPL 2. I could not see the 100% celebration from Cricket Fans. Because South African fans (Also Indian Royal Fans) differ from Indian Fans.

Hope Next IPL will be played in India.

Let us compare IPL 1 with IPL 2
* IPL 1 was held in India. IPL 2 is held in South Africa, which is a plus point to IPL 1. IPL 2 wasn’t held in India because of Indian ministers who said that they can’t provide security to the cricket teams while the elections are going on. I bet that much of that crowd which went into stadiums in IPL 1 can’t go to South Africa, only because they don’t have money to go there (which is sad). (1 point to IPL 1)
* IPL 2 has strategic breaks, (though they are of less use as the batsmen loose their form and get out, but it happens for both the team unless the batsmen are professionals), IPL 1 didn’t have strategic breaks. (1 point to IPL 1 and 1 point to IPL 2)
* IPL 2 gives donations to schools (If it was held in India, then ofcourse Indian schools would have got the donations, but India didn’t take the responsibility to provide the security to teams.), so plus point to IPL 2. (IPL 1 – 1 point, IPL 2 – 2 points)
* Some teams which didn’t perform well last year, have performed well this year, which gets 1 point for IPL 2. (IPL 1 – 1 point, IPL 2 – 3 points)
* IPL 2 has also got a star of the match which gets a ball signed from the winning captain. (IPL 1 – 1 point, IPL 2 – 4 points)
* IPL 2 has also got a cool website, though it loads slowly and some features don’t work for many people. (IPL 1 – 1 point, IPL 2 – 5 points)
* IPL 2 has got zoozoos (IPL 1 – 1 point, IPL 2 – 6 points)

Results:
IPL 1 – 1 point
IPL 2 – 6 points
So there are a lot of improvements in IPL 2 and I think there would be many more in IPL 3, even 2 new teams would come in IPL 3.
So I would go for IPL 2 which has got 6 points . And hopefully, IPL 3 would be held in India.

hey as far as I’m concerned IPL-1 was better than the ipl-2 because it was held in India and people from remote areas of India also took part in it.
