thats all this T20 is about

As compared to a regional tournament with blatantly incorrect umpiring decisions and no DRS. Maybe some like it so.

I'll watch real cricket over that meaningless contrived IPL lickit crap any day of the week.

is a give and take, you don't have players being caught wholesale in match fixing like hansie and azharuddin. the bigger paydays has somewhat dampened the cesire to sink into the cricketing underworld

One tournament guilty of both.

The rest of us then have to wallow your diatribe of complaints about the regional tournament.

I'll wait....

I do not have to, you know your previous statements.

So in other words you made some shit up and can't prove it.

You should go write some of the scripts for the IPL fixers. lol

i hope not especially he is a senior WI player
but with this tournament, and exposure to these bookies you cant swear for no one

Lots of ca$h being thrown around for a bunch of guys in pyjamas playing kiddie cricket

Personally, I will stick with the real stuff.

Marlon was caught for a fix that happened in 2006, two full years before the IPL came on the scene. He was just convicted in 2009 and banned

Appears WI cricketers finally agree with you. Cyah find one today except on the management bench.

right now, from the side that toured australia, only the two josephs and mckenzie have the likeliest possibility of being picked for an ipl franchise

For someone who was all of 12 years old when that event occurred back 2006, you seem to have a good grasp of the details.

Keep it up (30-year-old) Jumpy!
