**The Official IPL Thread**

[Basil]

How generous am I? With the first games nearly upon us - (golly! I can hardly contain myself) This is your opportunity to contribute your thoughts (hand signals will do if you're Horrie)

[Henry]

We already have an IPL thread.

[Basil]

We already have an IPL thread.

But not an official one - where I can pour scorn on anyone daring to watch these beknighted games.

[Henry]

We're getting the IPL on free to air TV here in Aus. So much for it being an Indian money making scheme that will be ignored in Australia.

It's on Setanta in dear old blighty for an additional £10 per month on top of what I already pay.

I

Don't

Bloody

Think

So!

[Henry]

Setanta is an extra 10 quid a month over there?! It's an extra $7 Aus a month here.

I won't tell anyone if you don't.

[PearlJ]

I got Setanta for 3 months for only £5. I want to watch this IPL malarkey.

[Ash]

setanta is free in the UK to virgin customers

[JKLever]

IPL is free on good old sopcast

[holcs]

Well I hope to be watching the first game of the IPL in a bar/casino wherever in Nottingham. Surely it'll be on somewhere up there?
Whats the first game? And when are my team Hyderabad playing?

[Henry]

Whats the first game?

Bangalore v Calcutta.

I'll be going for the Kings XI Punjab. Their star signings (Sangakkara and Lee) are likeable, their captain (Yuvraj) is probably my favourite Indian batsman when on song, and they also have some very promising Indian youngsters in Chawla, Srivastava and VRV Singh.

A nice mix.

Am I the only one taking the whole month off work and planning IPL parties for all my 'friends' and decorating my house in Chennai Superking bunting and fantasizing about Dhoni bludgeoning cum inducing sixes...?

I'm so excited I could almost piss myself.

Genuinely.

[Ash]

delhi daredevils are my tip:

sehwag, tehlan, malik, gambhir, dilshan, bhatia, tiwary, manhas, de villiers, karthik, mcgrath, mahroof, sangwan, vettori, yo mahesh, mishra, asif

decent squad.

p.s. IPL fantasy league:

You don't get out much then?

[Henry]

I'm getting "Kings XI Punjab" tatooed on my arse tomorrow, and a box full of Yuvraj effigies should be arriving by the end of the week, complete with, "How to burn" instructions. Lighter not included. Cheap f*ckers.

[spangler]

I don't get out at all.

All my life I wondered if there was a God and what my purpose in life was. Now I know... Lalit Modi is God and my purpose is to watch Mumbai Muff Munchers take on Delhi Dog F****rs in IPL.

I almost ripped a bollock off in excitement.
