If you think whole IPL-6 was fixed......
Apart from 3 RR players, other people have been accused because of betting and not fixing! Betting is illegal in India! But "Betting" doesn't prove that someone has "Fixed" a match!
Many were saying that the whole IPL was fixed when the Police arrested Shreesanth, Chandila and Ankit Chavan... and then Vindoo Dara Singh, CSK's team principal Gurunath Meiyappan and many more Betters!
From my understanding, Spot fixing and Match Fixing and Tournament Fixing are very different from each other. To fix a match, one of the 2 teams will play really bad cricket intentionally. And to fix a tournament, I don't think only one team's participation in fixing is enough.
So when you say that the whole tournament is fixed, you unintentionally accuse each and every player playing the tournament. That means, you are accusing the legends of cricket like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis and many more. Without them knowing about it, it would never happen. So when you say that the whole IPL was fixed you are questioning the "fair play" of these legends. You must take into account these factors, when you criticize the whole tournament.
And if you think that everything is fixed, then why do you watch the matches? If you think that all is fixed then just switch off your TV sets and never watch! Others (real cricket fans) who believe that this is pure cricket, let them watch peacefully!!

Why IPL must go on.....
IPL is a mega event. From young cricketers' perspective it's a huge opportunity to prove themselves on International Level. IPL is telecast all over the world, attracting people from non-cricket playing nations as well. And one bad incident doesn't mean that whole tournament is bad.
Young domestic players get a golden opportunity to play against and with world class cricket players. They get a chance to prove themselves, they emerge as heroes. This is what Amit Mishra thinks about IPL- "IPL has helped a lot to improve my bowling having competed with the best batsmen in the world. In fact, most of the talent in Indian cricket is coming through IPL as it is providing an ideal platform to the talented players."
Do you remember when Fixing Scandal (Test Matches) of Hansie Cronje, Azaruddin, Ajay Jadeja came into light, people were really upset and angry, but that didn't ban Test Cricket. It's not about running away from what we face, but to face it, try to improve it and make it more successful!! THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!
We have to nullify the politician's effect and the corrupt people from the BCCI and let the former cricket players handle the country's topmost cricket board. Supreme Court has done a really good job to appoint Mr. Sunil Gavaskar to handle IPL-7 related issues. I still feel that he should have been given full charge of the BCCI making him the President for every cricketing issue.
