^ those websites aren't always accurate.

use CricInfo.

[Dizzy28]

Daniel Vettori officially calls it day.
Leaves Chanders and Afridi as the only two cricketers from the 1990s still around now IIRC.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Afridi aint have long ago^

[Dizzy28]

would KKR pull out of the tournament??

will Narine play??

KKR vs BCCI

[meccalli]

ICC testing not good enough, need biased results to make sure india...... I mean chennai has no serious threats from an intl player and wins comprehensively once again.

[toyolink]

This Narine issue is becomings more and more curious.
Lets see if the Indian authorities will review their position and stick to their guns even in light of the ICC clearance as reported.
The big question could then become 'Who is really in charge of international stds and what may be the implications for cricketers participating in the IPL?'
Already it seems that the Indian Board are part owners of the WI team since arising from the last debacle settlement of claims arising would be paid for from earnings when the team plays over the forseeable future.

BCCI> ICC??

KKR is et to play the first match on the 8th..

[Dizzy28]

^ BCCI has always been more powerful than the ICC. Ever since the day they became one of the richest sporting bodies for any sport internationally they held sway.
They became even more powerful when India won the inaugural T20. That spawned the IPL which has since wreaked havoc on the Future Tours Programme and world cricket in general.
Now we have ended up in situations where in the WI, series are starting in the wet season proper and no cricket is played here when we have the best weather.

^^ money talks. No use fighting it.

^^ money talks. No use fighting it.

The facts suggest that this only carries you so far,but if you don't have the fundamentals right another saying kicks in....A fool an his money are soon parted.

SRK > BCCI

Sunil gets cleared to bowl in the IPL.

[meccalli]

Good going on narine for being compliant, should quell the naysayers.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

which station showing IPL?

[Dizzy28]

^ Probably Sportsmax!!

In WI news the English are wrapping up the first warmup. One more warm up and then the 1st of three tests for the Wisden Trophy. I feel WI will get a 3-0 whitewash.

Sad when in the cricket season both England and Australia come to the Caribbean and Trinidad cant get a single match.

[R.P.J]

I not sure I believe that it have it on sports max not sure if espn will bring it live

[Dizzy28]

Sportsmax has it listed under their programming for this week
