The Outsider Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Dude, cant you use your brain a bit before you post ? IPL is endorsed by all the cricket boards. Even Sachin is playing in it. An international player doesnt have to retire from active cricket to play in it, understand that. An international player must retire to play IPL. Not saying that was the reason Gilchrist retired.

King Tendulkar Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 So its official. Saint gilly retired for$$$$$. Another hypocritical chapter by the Saint. Give me MCgrath any day at least he does not pretend to be holier then though! Link to comment
Ram Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Rubbish. check this out! Eleven players contracted to Cricket Australia have IPL deals, but the Test team is due to be in Pakistan when the tournament begins. The crowded schedule no longer bothers Gilchrist and he will be free to take part alongside Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath, his fellow retirees. So cleary he can play the whole time and reel in the mega bucks. I wondered why in this test match he started waffling on about how he midjudged 20/20 and how its great and the future. This clearly played major part in his retirement as allows him to chase the big bucks. An international player must retire to play IPL. Not saying that was the reason Gilchrist retired. Whats wrong with you guys ? Check this out, "The Herald understands the 11 Australian players to have signed short-form Memoranda of Understanding with the IPL - including Gilchrist, Ricky Ponting and Brett Lee - were placed under significant time pressure to do so. With a limited number of contracts on offer, the BCCI offered to pay leading players 25 per cent of their contract value up-front if they signed by a deadline." http://crichome.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/ipl-boss-we-wont-lure-stars/ Clearly, you can still play active cricket for your international team and yet play for an IPL team. And Dsr, Gilly already won a contract with IPL, he doesnt need to quit cricket to take part in that tournament. Link to comment

King Tendulkar Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Dont even class his WC final knock as legitimate! The squash ball in the glove IMO is cheating Link to comment
