In an open letter to Pawar published on the front page of Friday's edition of Sena mouthpiece Samana, Thackrey said such open display of wealth does not augur well for the Indian cricket where players are being auctioned for money.
He said the whole thing has started only to checkmate Indian Cricket League (ICL), the rebel league promoted by Subhash Chandra-led Essel Group.
The auction of over 60 players, including those from other Test playing countries, was held here on Wednesday.
"Oh Pawar, what is happening in the realm of cricket?", said the Sena chief, who is the newspaper's editor.
"These industrialists are throwing money in your cricket field as a result of which cricket is getting corrupt.
"Cricketers are being purchased as a result this their concentration will not be in the game and the sport will decline in this country," he warned.
"If this is how industrialists wield their money then a day will come when there will be no need of government because it will be the industrialists who will call the shots and run the country," Thackeray said.
"Stop this gambling of industrialists and save cricket.
You (Pawar) have the guts to do it, don't you?" the letter added.

I think IPL will reduce the professsionalism aspect of cricket - people like Tiwary, Praveen Kumar, by virtue of Hindi speaking origin get 400k plus dollars when they have not played a dinkum of cricket It is a shame in capitalism that unproven talent is rewarded in India, just as it is so in India, in every sphere of life
I am sure Bal Thakrey feels that Industrialists should not be allowed to "buy" cricketers, because that way they will not have money left to "buy" politicians like Bal Thakrey.
I HAVE ONLY ONE QUESTION , LEAVE THE INDUSTRIALIST ,THEY HAVE SOURCE ..BUT HOW SHAURKH KHAN PUT SUCH A HUGE MONEY ???FROM WHERE HE MANAGED SUCH A MONEY...FROM WHICH INDUSTRY ???? ITS REALLY STRANGE ?? NO QUESTIN OR NOTHING FROM INDIAN GOVT ...AT LEAST THE BCCI SHOULD GIVE US THE SOURCE OF MONEY... OTHERWISE THAT MONEY MAY BE FROM HAWALA OR MAY BE FROM TERRORISTS, OR MAY B FROM UNDERWOLD DONS...WE ALL KNOW HOW THESE KHAN BRTHERS ARE LINKED TO DONS ??Y NO BODY IS QUESTIONING THESE SHARUKH..ITS A STRANGE

Why speak so late Mr. Thackrey when the trucks have been sold. The entire Thackrey clan has become senile and hope their supports don't.
It is perfectly OK to auction cricketers. All entertainers- cricketers, other sports, actors, actresses- are commodities and their worth is only what they can entertain the public. Hence they should be left to market forces and politicians should not interfere. Who is Thackrey Pawar or Sonia to tell us what we want? Whether it is Sania, Yuvraj's mother or Kapil's grandmother, they have all used and abused media and commercials to get money and or publicity, and public has the right to see them being auctioned bought and sold. It will bring the glory days of gladitors and other Roman arena games when sports was sports and not stupid confining rules back to our times. However, what we need now is a strict legal framework where entertainer's who claim civic rights real human beings have under democracy are controlled, and this legal framework should consider professional entertainers/ sportspeople as market goods, subject to usual consumer rights laws in case they do not come up to standards.
Bal Thackray and Hypocracy always seems to go together. Probably he is jealous that he could not buy one of these franchises.
Thackery does not like anything good going on...but nothing to worry...he can only whine..but cannot do anything else...
industrilist should rule the country. atleast they will not be as idiot and corrupt as present day political idiots.
