***Official*** Indian Premier League 2017

Mr. Glass
Not sure if both will bowl together though. Shami and Zaheer will start and there will be 2 spinners. So, there is place for only one of them in the side.
Shami, Zak, Cummins and Rabada plus one local spinner should be their bowling attack. Or seeing how Zak goes, 2 spinners and the 3 other pacers instead.

The 2nd and 3rd placed should get some money too. Always seems better that way to me. Ran a pool for the 2nd IPL. Was fun, admittedly. But only because we did it the opposite way around. The worse your player did, the more points you got. Penalty for picking players who didn't get picked as well.
That's an awesome idea, I think I'm gonna steal this shamelessly.

Is this gonna be impossible to watch in Australia again? Seems so stupid that the only legit way is through some dodgy looking ********* site.

No Munro in the IPL? Do these ****s even cricket?
Neither does Munro unless he's facing the absolute class in some of NZ's high-octane FC attacks.

It's such an unfortunate disease. Only being able to perform when you're against the best.

Are you dissing our domestic attacks?

Brent Arnel will have something to say about this.

No they dont

Man how I wish the IPL would take the whole cricket aspect of this seriously. Like actually use their millions of dollars to try and build awesome T20 sides. Scout out the top performers in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, sign players who are actually good in T20 and who are available all season, build balanced sides with bench depth, hire proper coaches who know what they're doing, structure the XIs in ways that make sense, etc etc

Instead all they do is try to get names that would sell Tshirts and advertising slots and draw fans to the stadiums, and winning is secondary.
