It's kind of stink that the IPL teams have multiple foreign players in them - but the other teams are restricted to one each.

McCullum should have dogged it on purpose against a NZ team.
Most have two others have more:

Australia - 2
SA - 2
England - 2
Sri Lanka - 4
Bangladesh - 4


Not sure about Pakistan, West Indies and NZ. End of day it comes down to each board and how many they want. All countries could have 4 of they want. But most are concerned about the lack of changes for local players.

From Cricinfo report:
Auckland had every reason to feel at home in Cape Town on Monday night. The North Island climate of their home city was replicated almost perfectly, as an icy south-easterly wind kept Shakib Al Hasan wrapped up in a blanket until he came out to bat, and had the cheerleaders hoping for boundaries to keep them dancing and warm on the sidelines.
Has Liam Brickhill actually been here?

yorkshire will get a couple of thrashings at some point you'd expect given how weak they are.

They also need to stay away from any injuries given the alternatives. The 3 bench guys at the moment have played 5 T20 matches between them(all wardlaw).

Root needs to stop batting like an imbecile

Of course they care, all you have to do is hear Ravi Shastri's funeral voice whenever an IPL side loses. Its hilarious. Plus not only does it lose them money but it makes the entire IPL look like ****.

How can you create a successful sports league when your players quite clearly couldn't care less about winning. The public won't buy it.
You think the Indian public will somehow reassess and stop watching IPL because of what happens here? :blink: People don't watch IPL in the belief that it's cricket at it's best or something like that. It's just a nice Tamasha, a 'timepass'. If the IPL matches themselves are entertaining, that's all that matters. Of course for the success of this tournament it's crucial that the IPL teams stay competitive to keep enough of the Indian viewership interested. But anything that happens here will be forgotten in a matter of weeks.

Well if its just a 'timepass' then fine, I was under the illusion that it was the 'future of cricket'

But then we'd have to want an IPL team to do well next year, think more before you post Spikey we can't allow such madness.
