I was very surprised to see all fast bowlers like Nehra , Vinay Kumar , RP Singh , Praveen Kumar, Munaf Patel Shreesanth , Umesh Yadav all playing IPL .
How suddenly all got fit ??
Where were they from last one year when Team India badly needed good fast bowler & lost couple of series against AUS, ENG , PAK due to lack of good pacers & played with part timers like Bhuneshwar , Sami etc .
HOW SUDDENLY ALL GOT FIT FOR IPL ??
OR ITS REALLY IPL ?? ( INDIAN PAISA LEAGE )
IS MONEY POWER MORE INSPIRING THAN PLAYING FOR NATION ?? IT'S A SHAME - -

Nehra, vinay and rp, munaf were dropped. Praveen kumar played corporate tournament before this. Sreesanth played for his kerala side, then irani trophy. Umesh got fit about a month back and was on rehabilitation in NCA. So no one played ipl straight away neglecting international cricket.

You are certainly correct Shilpa. In International matches for India these fellows play just like that(very casually). But for IPL matches, these fellows play very aggressively and fighting with each other unnecessarily. only within INDIA, our cricketers can play some level(mostly captain). But outside of India, it is very horrible performance most of the time. They go just tour using Govt. money. In addition, they fight for captaincy after playing few years and do so much politics among themselves. Now they become politicians. They play IPL with all sorts of injury but they don't want to play for India. just 10 countries are playing. It is better to ban IPL and all forms of cricket. So we should focus on individual games rather than team events so that we could get some more medals in Olympics.

Ya.. Shilpa, you are right. These players are definitely playing for money instead of the motherland.

why not, after all money is everything, nobody recognized without money, cricketer or whoever. and from ipl they are getting right price for their profession.
looking at Dravid batting and being on the field, a true cricket lover should really acknowledge the unfair tratement given to him by MEDIA and BCCII.it is clear that he has a lot of cricket left in him.The way he trated B.Kumar, the new bowling sensation is an example.
looking at Sachin's long failure and still the treatment meted out to him proves the above point.

I think this is the right way of playing cricket. If you don't want them to competitive then don't watch cricket. This attitude is good to see. The team comes first no matter if it's IPL or the national team. Take the example of Bravo and Pollard going at each other. It happens in cricket. these two guys took india out of trouble in the world cup final with a crucial partnership. They will shake it off and be freinds at the end of the day and win more matches together for India.
No body shud have interfered - then these 2 wud have come to body blows and the mandatory ban frm all forms of cricket wud have followed-that wud have opened the doors for Rahane & Manoj Tiwary in the Indian XI !!

Very right! These things stops us from being one nation. But since these are good for politicians, they promote these at all levels and poor Indians fall prey to them everytime.
