Jos Buttler played a T20 game on the next day immediately after the 3rd test !!!

[The Dark Horse]

Pretty immature by him, doing that in the middle of a long test series. He could have gotten injured.

By him ? He is an employee for ECB and Lancashire with ECB having first use of his service.

Lancashire asked ECB if they could play him and the England management team agreed .

It's a quarter final with long standing county members and supporters and young kids watching. They deserve to watch the best and the counties deserve to have their best players play for them once in a while. I don't see what the issue is. If England lose the fourth Test it will not be because Buttler played a T20 a week before the Test stars

You don't read on here Indians who say they have no time for IPL or any other league or even WCT20?

 

Haven't  read or seen Indian ex-cricketers criticize other T20 leagues.

 

I have no issues with either English fans or Indian fans saying what they like, provided they are not abusive.

As you say people are allowed their opinion even ex cricketers

Fair enough.. I hope smart arse English Experts don’t criticise T20 or IPL in future... If they do, just remind them this event....

They definitely are entitled to their opinion.  

 

But if any ex-player, whatever his nationality, supports something in his own country but criticizes the same in other countries then it looks odd.

 

That is all I am saying.

You support T20 leagues around the world?

The IPL is financing Indian cricket.  So, it is impractical not to support it.

 

And, if I agree to an Indian T20 league then I have no business not wanting T20 leagues in other countries.  I believe some of them are financing their respective Boards too and providing livelihood to average cricketers who would never do well as international players.

 

I don't like T20s personally though ... especially international T20s.

Alright. Their team, their rules. Still can't deny the risk of injury. Not that I care..

There is a risk of injury in the nets and fielding practise

Not to mention trying to start a 100 ball format when 3 formats is already too much. 

It was like a prank that went on too long.

Should learn from Dhoni who channels his 90 Test experience so wonderfully in T20Is and stays not out most of the time.
