I never really bother anyway, it means bollocks all to me when teams just import a selection of playersBoycott the IPL!
It took my years to enjoy any form of 20/20 but I cant get away with franchise cricket in any form. I've watched bits of games when channel hopping but its not really my cup of tea.I never really bother anyway, it means bollocks all to me when teams just import a selection of players
I’ve tried, I just don’t care
I’ll watch the blast basically because it’s the counties. It’s fine I guess. But I can’t get away with the CPL, IPL, PSL or the BB. The same players who were opponents one week are team mates the next, feels like a glorified friendly to meIt took my years to enjoy any form of 20/20 but I cant get away with franchise cricket in any form.

The negatives out weigh the positives for me nowThere is no doubt in mind whatsoever having watched it for years that the IPL is a great watch , it’s full of quality, and world class cricketers played in a what looks like a simply brilliant atmosphere and I also think it’s a bit of a myth that players change teams all the time.
The top players in it the likes of Rohit, Burmah, Kholi, De villers etc etc have always just played for just one side.
That said it doesn’t change the fact that it is nothing short of a absolute disgrace a final match of a massive test series was cancelled with the IPL in mind.
Which it was ,saying anything else is simply naive
Like everything at the moment with cricket it’s a question of balance.
For anyone suggesting Livingstone
no thanks

it’s just gonna get worse too
test cricketer has never been stronger in England than right now in terms of demand and ticket sales
but even we have players missing tests because of IPL and tests called off
imagine how it is for South Africa etc
they are on about a 2nd IPL in America!
Agree on Livingstone. But it’s never been consistent like that sadly

Absolutely. Was pathetic that Curran wasn’t playing for Surrey last week for exampleIssue we are gonna have is our talented young lads wont play red ball cricket
curran doesnt ever, and he has gone backwards, to the point that he isnt remotely near test quality right now.
its a major worry
if Joe Root came through now, what would happen, its hard to say.
Rightly or wrongly that’s not just England as imagine India’s young cricketers want to play in the IPL.Issue we are gonna have is our talented young lads wont play red ball cricket

So agree going forward it’s a problem but it’s not a problem just for England players
Yeah of course, just sometimes when reading this board at times, you would think the switch to more white ball cricket and more emphasis on it, hence possibly weakening our test team was just a English thing and just down to the ECB.Absolutely but for obvious reasons my concern is England
That is genuinely worse than nothing
Aye two extra games against them? Give me nowt any timeThat is genuinely worse than nothing
swapping the version that is dying for the one that is oversaturatedAye two extra games against them? Give me nowt any time
6 hours of cricket instead of 35swapping the version that is dying for the one that is oversaturated
Test cricket is deep in it like, you have to wonder what the future holds..if any!6 hours of cricket instead of 35
It's like they're laughing at us.
