A couple of former internationals in Sriram and Kulkarni there.

Just looking at Sriram's cricinfo profile, shame he never got to play a Test.

I second that Yuk...!!
Btw this Hamish Marshall is one real greedy bloke, first he left New Zealand cricket to join English county (just to make more money) and now he is also joining ICL!!

Yeah imagine that. Someone trying to earn enough money while playing to support them self and their family. The bastard!

You do realise that if a Kiwi players doesn't get a National Contract they earn on par or less then your average worker in NZ. Which isn't even that much considering how many come to Australia to earn more money.

I wonder how this move will effect Cairns's fudge business.

Damn, I read a promising article about Abid Nabi and it warned that he was very quick at about 140kph consistantly and he swung the ball well too.

Nabi revealed that initially he thought he was being considered for the Test squad but understood that perhaps it was too early for him to graduate to that level. "I have been touching 140 km per hour regularly in the domestic circuit but I know I lack in discipline. I tend to get wayward and I am working hard on it. What is encouraging and a source of constant motivation for me is the fact that the current team management believes in giving chances to youngsters," he said.

He played few ODIs, he didn't look convincing. He is a Graeme Hick.

 

[SJS]

He is a Graeme Hick.

No comparison here. Hick was a far far superior player than Sriram.

 

[Perm]

He played few ODIs, he didn't look convincing. He is a Graeme Hick.

And ODI's are relevant to Tests how? FTR Hick was quite a fine ODI player, but struggled at Test level.

Also, I don't see how his ODI performances relate to Test cricket. It's quite obvious that the longer form of the game was his strong suit, yet he was selected to play limited overs cricket. Madness.

 

[Richard]

It's sort of already been said by Perm and SJS but Sriram was nothing whatsoever like a Hick. Hick played many Tests and, while he had success for quite a time, also had lack of success for much of the rest of it. He, however, did superbly in ODIs, as he was really rather good at the shorter form of the game, something Sriram hasn't ever been.

Haha, it's fair to say the ICL got owned by the BCCI's IPL initiative.

they have been owned, but I think even the IPL will get owned pretty soon, just because so much of it is just shouting out "impractical"...
