 I'll try and remember to watch when I get in from  drinking....this might prove difficult.

 Generally, the 50 over game has become a bit dull,  I suspect that the Indian 20/20 league will put paid to it in the next few years.

  If, this is the way cricket is going to go with franchises playing 20/20,  what are the chances of Swindon getting some action ?  Its something I've been vaguely thinking about.  The CG has plenty of scope for putting on some matches.

whilst i don't disagree with your point entirely, your timing is quite ironic given the last odi

on the subject of the ipl; the whole thing is an absolute sham. i think in the long-term it may serve to revitalise test match and 50 over cricket in places where they are ailing, although in the short-term may place them under pressure.
