kabira Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 They are T20 world cup winners. I only see Morgan Where are rest? Ofcourse KP is injured so is Broad But where are Kieswetter, Bresnan, Luke Wright, Swann, Sidebottom etc...
saneindian Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Most of them went unsold. KP, Broad, Morgan, Colly, Mascrenhas, Owais Shah and Lumb were the 7 english players who got bids for them. KP, Colly, mascrenhas and Broad are injured. Morgan (KKR), Shah (Kochi) and Lumb (Deccan) are with their respective teams with only Morgan getting picked in the final 11.
julianlev Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Considering how long some of them have been playing non-stop I wouldn't be surprised if one ends up having a nervous breakdown
vipin Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 They are sleeping on their bums after the long season.
Rana Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 England dont really take IPL seriously, country first.
Sachin=GOD Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 England dont really take IPL seriously' date=' country first.[/quote'] and Pakistan don't really take cricket seriously, Fixing first :P
BERGKAMP Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 They are very jealous and bitter of the IPL, and do everything possible to make sure that most of their players don't take part in it. They came up with the whole concept of 20-20 as an extra revenue stream for their counties and now most of the counties are in huge debt and the IPL is generating millions :giggle:
vvvslaxman Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 English media is not bitter i think. They give extensive coverage to IPL.
Serani Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 We just focus on winning the T20 WC dont need any of this hit and giggle bull crap, no use turning up for a few weeks to smash some indian trundlers and aussie first class players out the ground.

Flintoff came to do that with 1.5 million $. But ony the opposite happened. Got mauled by slogger like Abhishek Ugly stance Nayar :cantstop:
Sir_Afridi Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 England dont really take IPL seriously' date=' country first.[/quote'] +1. Uk players have the priorities set right. Respect for them :hatsoff:
Rana Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 and Pakistan don't really take cricket seriously' date=' Fixing first :P[/quote'] Why does every comment finish with pakistan bashing? This has nothing to do with pakistan. BTW, India got caught fixing before pakistan did. Azharudin introduced it to us. Its true, you wouldnt understand the mentality of English cricket living in India. They dont take IPL seriously at all, or even ODI to a fair amount.

Got mauled by slogger like Abhishek Ugly stance Nayar :cantstop: Flintoff probably didnt care, Steyn turns up for IPL every year and gets spanked most games but he probably doesnt care as long as he gets paid.
Sachin=GOD Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 +1. Uk players have the priorities set right. Respect for them :hatsoff: yeah, Indian players have their priorities completely wrong and are paying the price of playing in the IPL by being No 1 in Tests and World Champions in ODIs :hysterical::hysterical:
Sachin=GOD Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 They are on the verge of making an EPL' date='[b'] it will be the biiggest league i tell you. Lets see. Although I'm not a fan of IPL (or T20 version as a whole) I can guarantee you that nowhere in the World can a T20 league like this be as successful as it has been in India.
