Indian Premier League

[Majin]

Just a note Liam, I changed from Kolkata to Bangalore...got mixed up about which team Dravid played for.

 

[Johnners]

Nice, now to see who my teammates are in Mumbai (apart from Mitchell...)

Awesome, playing alongside Sachin. Going to be hard to get a bowl though, Pollock, Malinga, HB Singh & Fernando. Although I reckon I'm better than Fernando, T20 was my thing in England last season IIRC.

It was Indeed

Interesting that Crampton went for such big money to Chennai considering they already have Dhoni, might be tough for Alex to get too many games tbh...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Aside from his 'keeping, the man scores quickly and gets a lot of not outs. An asset to any Twenty20 team IMO. Especially since all players won't always be available.

 

[Simon]

yeh fair point, looking at the squads, the chennai batting line up is as good as any, complete lack of fast bowlers though...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Ntini and Camps aren't too bad. Heath Davis is unproven though. In terms of other seamers, Albie Morkel and Jacob Oram can do jobs. That said, Oram's Twenty20 bowling has been dire.

 

[Simon]

yeh, but how many overseas players can i play? at fullstrength im going to play Hayden, Camps and Murali/Ntini wherever possible...

 

[Agent TBY]

Absolutely stoked at going to Mohali.

Haha, the skip's there too.

 

[Goughy]

Looking at the Indians at Delhi there is little depth. It seems such a strange concept to have all these players signed yet few can play.

May struggle with only having 2-3 decent Indian players.

 

[Agent TBY]

Oh, one more thing, do we all get CWLand Nationalities, or can the Indians signed up here actually slot in as home qualified players?

Second Nationality, perhaps?

 

[Raghav]

Me being a person from Hyderbad, will get a Indian nationality rather than CW nationality

But then, you'd be forfeiting the chance to play for the CWXI, wouldn't you be?

Is the forfeit forever, dont think so. Its IPL right not ICL. You can still play for your clubs/teams even if you play for IPL

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

4 overseas players allowed per game, right?

Haha, way to miss the point.

The CWXI plays international matches against countries' national teams, so I guess we're all from CWLand or thereabouts.

So I'm wondering if you're allowed to be a home-qualified player in the IPL, or will you be classified as a CWLand overseas player?

And if you want an Indian nationality, how will you play for CWLand's international team?

4 overseas players allowed per game, right?

Yeah. Would absolutely love playing with Lee, Sarwan, Kumar and you if I home-qualified.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

You better play me, Demeza. Have a T20 century I'll have you know.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Can someone find me a full Jaipur squad? Internet giving me grief aws.

I guess that's what they meant by Premier League. Upwards of 25 players in a squad with rotation as necessary. And in the case of Chelsea, about 50 in a squad with the majority purchased to be benched and kept away from other teams.

What is the duration of IPL? How many matches are being played now? Will we have ODI's and test matches in IPL in our first version? Just finding out the league that require my cricket.

Will be awesome to partner Gegy at Hyderabad, but playing with the legend in Ganguly would have been awesome.
