IPL time again
It feels like a lifetime since IPL 2019 and a few things have happened along the way, but it's back.... it's late, it's moved, but it's back
Okay, it will still struggle to reach the dizzy heights of the T20 Blast.... In the UAE there won't be as much time for sitting around enjoying yourself with a piping hot cup of cocoa, a full set of thermal undergarments and 2 blankets whilst waiting for the rain and the high winds to stop, but it's all we have, so it will have to do. One more thing we'll just have to suck up in this most unusual of years
