These IPL owners are retards or what?? ... Money isn't everything especially for Australian players.. they literally live in one of the richest countries on the planet 

 

Zero incentive to ditch their national side and face humiliation. CA pays them well.  Couple of months in IPL they earn easy cash lol

 

 

Even if it's not Australia, the gall to ask any cricketer to quit representing their country for IPL cash (no matter how lucrative) in itself shows their ignorance towards the game.

The more numbers you add, the harder it gets to say no - principle flies out the door.

But I see the funny side to this - can't beat them, buy em lol

Windies players will flip for such amount easily.  It's another matter no one is paying them that much.

 

Pooran I think might already be in some sort of deal like this.

will? they are already doing it. Most of the T20 league mercenaries are actively opting out of WI cricket tours.. the problem is WI isnt a 'country' it was a colonial idea in cricket. These players main priority is their financial well being and security unlike other countries who's players actually are proud to represent them.

i call BS,,IPL teams still need foreign board permissions as far as i understand.

Well if you're willing to throw money around to own people better do it on young boys. There is atleast a chance for success.

Aus players aren't as poor or money chasers as WI players.. their central contracts are in the $Mil dollars and they actually have pride to play for Australia and Tests, plus they make enough money by playing IPL as well.

 

Kudos for them to give two fingers to IPL owners

 

WI is not a country though. So tough for them to have that pride

It is no means "easy cash". They have to perform and show results. Else they will be kicked out.  

 

Also they will have to play in near-peak indian summer. Not exactly playing in 15C pleasant weather of their home.

Weird logic. Do the Saudis care about beating portugal when they bought Ronaldo? 

 

Why would the billionaires IPL team owners care about beating Australia?
