Basically this.it was a great idea ruined by the IPL teams getting first dibs on players then either not using them or half of them getting beaten by some domestic team with a budget of twenty cents anyway
which was the best part of the tournament tbh. clearly rigged in favour of the IPL franchises and in the end i think every IPL franchise except CSK got punched in the face by semi pro cricketers a lot and the west indies team won a tournament
Currently that would consist of Middlesex, Gujarat, Victoria, Titans and either Auckland, Guyana or possibly the wonderfully named Water and Power Development Authority (I'm supporting those chaps)! Who would be interested though, except a few crazy die-in-wool first-class hold outs like myself and others?Basically this.
Wish there was some sort of short FC equivalent tournament for this. Think the old Duleep trophy format but with the domestic winners of the top 5 Test nations. In fact England Lions and Bangladesh even participated in the Duleep Trophy a couple of times which was nice.
Yeah not many. CW and about 3 other people would watch the **** out of it.Currently that would consist of Middlesex, Gujarat, Victoria, Titans and either Auckland, Guyana or possibly the wonderfully named Water and Power Development Authority (I'm supporting those chaps)!
