Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Here we go..... hitch a ride on the IPL juggernaut to wealth and glory. For those unable to find any wealth or glory when they get there, console yourself with the knowledge that try as hard as the BCCI might, the IPL will always be a pale shadow of the Hundred...... or should that be the other way around?
