IPL and security

Before I begin. Salute to Sachin! I have never been a fan of the adulation he receives. But hats off! That 200 was simply great. None but he deserved to get there first!!
Alright let's get into the IPL issue now
The much discussed IPL security issue is almost threatening to divide the cricket world. While the retired ones like Gilly, Haydy, Symy and Warny (they earn more from IPL than from their respective boards - CA here) are throwing their weight behind L-Mod, players contracted to their respective boards (and this means they earn from the IPL and equally heavily from their boards) are a bit reluctant. Well Kiwis and Ponting, would you be sticking to the same stand if you have also retired from all forms of cricket? I guess no!
By the way, Ricky Ponting and his Aussie cohorts can be assured that life for an Aussie is much safer in India when you compare it with how safe it is for an Indian in Australia. So stop whining and come here to play in the IPL - but wait.. is he playing in the IPL? I don't think he is!! And he doesn't want fellow Aussies to get the money he will not get. Now that's clever Ricky!!! Beware Watsy, Bretty and the remaining y's!!!
