With so many players in international cricket facing the quandary of choosing between playing for the national team and playing for the Indian Premier League and its riches, the question is now brought into sharp focus: What is more important for a player; the pride of representing your country, or playing for money. What has also instigated this debate is the fact of Andrew Flintoff fitting a few weeks of IPL playing in an already hectically packed schedule and getting injured in the bargain. This was seen as an unseemly chasing of riches by many in the cricket news, particularly in the UK.

Have you noticed that there is something missing from the IPL; apart from all the things we have spoken of before? Well it is the cricket commentators that are missing! We have showmen, media persons, actors, cricket celebrities, but nary a commentator in sight! Whatever happed to things such as expert comments, in depth cricket analysis, constructive criticism, debate? In all the showmanship, in the entertainment package, serious cricket commentary is definitely a casualty.

The decision of the ICC not to hold any World Cup 2011 matches in Pakistan and rather hold them all in the other three host countries has obviously not gone down well with the Pakistani cricket fan. Yes they have reason to be aggrieved but can anyone honestly claim that the ground reality in Pak is fit for international cricket, indeed any sport? Political instability and the constantly looming scepter of terror do not make for a conducive venue to host international cricket matches or players.

The job of a wicket keeper is a tough one and a highly specialised one. Whereas earlier there was the concept of a specialist wicket keeper, now there is the need for depth of batting in a side, making it an invariable requirement to have a wicket-keeper batsman. The wicketkeeper’s proximity to the batsman and his position at the centre of the field makes his role a key one and his inputs as to strategy very valuable. When you talk about a wicketkeeper batsman who also leads the team, you are talking about an even more difficult job.

The game of cricket which was for long known as a relic of colonial days, a leftover of the Raj has now assumed a distinctly Indian flavour. Not only is it that the IPL which has become the richest and most famous of tournaments in international cricket, that was born in India, cricket has become tremendously Indianised since the days when it was a colonial sport and the BCCI has become the most powerful cricket board in the world.
