The IPL Twenny Twenny starts tomorrow. I'm not going to blog every match, I'm not even going to watch every match - is it on telly? - but there ought to be plenty to comment on; if not on the field, then certainly off it. So, for the next few weeks make this here your one-stop ink-blot for everything Quicket.
If Imran Khan and Gus Logie give it the thumbs up then it must be good.

Imran's the bloke on the left, right?

The little guy's got Shiv Chanderpaul's batting stance. Imran's the one in the bulletproof car.

Bob Willis on the right. He's about to send the photographer to sleep.

Terry Alderman on the right. Thumbs up for 40 wickets on the Englsih tour. Guy on the left some political heavy hitter.
IPL on Channel 10 I think, Tone. Commentators? That guy Woods, Webster maybe?
That photo is timeless.

Bill Woods: "GANGULY GETS THE CHEQUERED FLAG!!!"

With The Raj Ganguly and Shoob Akhtar, might need to call the Kitts the Egos.

With hindsight, looks like the money spent on bowlers would have been better spent on batsmen (and cheerleaders). It will be interesting to get a cricket stats nerd to look at ODI and Test scores after 2020. Since the introduction of ODIs, strike rates, averages and top scores have all gone up, will 2020 continue this trend? How will bowlers fight back against aggressive fit batsmen, superbats, smaller grounds, and bowling restraints? Let them bring their own balls!

I think I just saw the greatest ad ever on Australian TV. It's for iprimus. Some teen is on his computer, and is using the broadband to obtain 'what he wants'. He receives a Lara Croft lookalike and a Miss World type, but then he goes to the door a third time....his eyes widen, he looks shocked...and there's a Harbajhan Singh lookalike standing there. 'Singh' says 'Were you expecting someone else?'.
What was the search string/term? Answers on a postcard to Tom Calma at HREOC 8-)

I think I see some corked bats. Will IPL attract minor league sluggers?

The Kings Punjab team have swastikas on the back of their helmets...or maybe they're Hindu symbols - I can never remember the direction of the prongs.
