Cheerleaders 'n all.

I think somebody at Setanta pushed the wrong button the other day - or failed to push the right one - with the result that, flicking around with the TV remote as I am wont to do, I was able to watch half an hour or so of an IPL 20-20 match. Ostensibly, this is cricket, although you would be hard pushed to see any meaningful relationship between this and a test match, or even the game which is played on village greens throughout the country. Indeed, it has more spiritually in common with baseball - how hard and how far you can hit the ball being the primary requisite. It's clearly designed to appeal to the "attention span of a gnat" generation, and to paraphrase Bones "it's cricket, Jim, but not as we know it".
