The IPL

Most people who know me, know I am a traditionalist when it comes to formats of cricket.

I love test cricket and wholeheartedly believe it to be the purest and most exhilirating form of the game, but I've been watching a fair amount of the Indian Premier League these last few weeks, and I think it is absolutely fantastic.

Great hits, great cricketers, and best of all, great catches.
Check this one out from David Hussey, my favourite catch so far...


This sort of cricket is wonderful, but I'm still more excited about the test cricket on offer in 2010. Bangladesh hop over briefly at the end of the month, followed by Pakistan, and then Strauss and his men pack their bags to go and give those Aussies a royal beating down under in December.

  1. Question: The IPL is on ITV4, a free-to-view digital channel; it's on through the daytime for us UK rsidents; yet noone is talking about it! Free cricket, what we've not had since 2005, is being hidden from the people. How do ITV do it?
