It's just not cricket

[Jakester1288]

You know what I'm talking about. The IPL.

It's a waste of time.
Only the Indians like it.
It's a money grabbing scheme.
It only causes injuries.
It's not entertainment.

People take it say to seriously (eg Indians saying "OMFG YYOUUU MUUUUSSSTTTTTTT PICKKKK THIS PLAYERZ FOR AUSSIES THIS SESON CAUSE THEY HIT A SIXXER IN THE IPLL!!!111 OH AND DONT FORGET UV KING OF SIXEERRSSSS!!!!111!!!"

Bodyline was much better.

I could go on, but I wont.

Just a quick note, this thread is also directed at Twenty20 in general.

Despite the slightly racist opening post, I will answer some of your statements.

It's a waste of time.

And yet international cricketers are willing to skip international duties to take part?

Only the Indians like it.

Well it is the Indian Premier League.

It's a money grabbing scheme.

You ever been to an international cricket match? $11 for a pie and coke. Everything in cricket is about money grabbing.

It only causes injuries.

I agree. Inherent danger of crossing the road in India is slightly higher than crossing the street in Sydney.

It's not entertainment.

Television contracts >$1 billion suggests some people find this entertaining.

Agreed. Nothing better than seeing an Australian get hit.

Agreed. Nothing better than seeing an Australian get hit.

Unless he's Jamie Lyon.

Edit: This thread is **** btw.

Could've went with the traditional 'it's not as good as Test cricket,' but went straight for the racist line instead. Impressive.

Love how this is on planet cricket and actually being taken seriously.
