Thanks to IPL...

IPL has done plenty to cricket.  It has redefined cricket in a way like never before.  Thanks to IPL, money is so cheap and the accusations against cricket competitions involving money continue to rage.  The most common debate is the country vs. money debate.  But today I can say that there is no such thing.  Players always prioritize country over club.  At least James Anderson and Stuart Broad do.

 Thanks to IPL we now have,


The Indian public now trusts Rupees more than Dollars.


We spend more time seeing Ads than seeing the match


I think Stuart and Jimmy would fit this bill.

And yes, older players revel in IPL...

Surely without IPL, cricket would be a lot boring....

Actually IPL contributions is as you say immense. However, everyone is loath to acknowledge it as contradicts all that stands for cricket.

They said no because they are not good at T20 :P.

I.P.HELL

I woulda done the same Posh. It's just not cricket. If this tournament and its organisers brought some of its innocence back, may be then I'd support it.

@Ottayan,

I am a big supporter of the IPL and adore it. I even write for RCB's website.....

But isn't IPL an amazing debate topic?

@Purna,

Well, I like Broad and He is good, but I feel that they are afraid of being not bidded for....

@Stani Army,

I think you misunderstood me. I LOVE the IPL, I just was joking here...

Hey Poshin,

no Shahid Afridi?

He'd make the IPL better

@David,

Yea....no afridi mate. It is sad to not see him but the IPL will go on and hopefully be just as big without him.....
