Test match cricket is the real cricket which tests a player both mentally, physically and technique. 20-20 is just entertainment and a money making racket..and we just sit and contribute to this racket. while on the far end, the frequency of test matches have been declining. BCCI should maitain a proper balance of both. IPL is great and should be held once in 2 yrs.
We don't have to listen to this trash talk ... This guys played kerry packer league ... Especially countries England and Australia are very jealous of India's success (we won both 20 world cup and 1 day world cup. I am not going to discuss 8 test losses now) ... but England used to more than 16 players always when they tour india ... Ponting always let off the hook by ICC no matter how badly he behaves on field ... Earlier England and Australia used to have hold on ICC all the time because they had money .. now when India has money and they are controlling ICC same people are cribbing about it in the name of 'spirit of cricket' ... such loosers .... they are forgetting because of money generated from cricket in india they get chance to do commentary and earn their bread and butter ....

good job Ambekar !!!! i am more than 100% agree to your statement. English and Aussi were the most trouble maker on and off the field they cant teach us ethics and spirit of cricket. in the past many of their cricketer used to refuse to travel and now you see they are dying to come and play in India. may be IPL -5 was not represented fully by English players and i feel sole reason for this that they struggle with Indian conditions but they are equally greedy as Australians and see who is commenting 'TONY" WHO SHIFTED TO AUSTRALIA FOR HIS GREED
he says that he was trained for cricket and a family to look after hence he could not afford being dropped from english team. for what it was money. why he shifted from south africa to england to australia to icl - of course for maney. he blames ipl on one hand advocates for such tournaments where all boards- including australia may rake money. he is confused. india is always a target when money matters come into picture. our board makes money and spends for budding cricketer and retired cricketer too.once australia helped by england ruled icc then no bady complained. thanks to jagmohan dalmia for taking heads on australia in cricket administration . he showed the world that money can be churned out of cricket. if one boards does it and others cant it is not fault of bcci.

All white people are frustrated at the success of IPL and the big money made. This is the only occasion the superior white community is rushing to a inferior country to make money which they can not make in their own countries. Jealousy and heartburn and inability to digest such success of India makes them to speak like this.
Why is blu dy Greig Jealous if an Asian nation is making billions. It is high time they realize that their boards make money because INDIA plays cricket. It is was England or AUS where he was born making money wud he have said the same. IT IS HIGH TIME HE REALIZE, PEOPLE DONT HAVE TIME FOR SLOW AND SLUGGISH CRICKET.
