IPL may be exciting, but it’s just not cricket

To the chap who believes the IPL is ‘oh-so-wonderful’.

The IPL is the antithesis to everything cricket stands for. Exciting it may be, it’s also horribly soulless. Besides, there’s no shortage of excitement in Test cricket and the 50-over game.

Twenty20 cricket is a horrible mish-mash of the worst aspects of the game - slogging without any sense of timing and erratic bowling.
