You elitist bigots with your superior attitudes, you think you're too good for the IPL, don't you?

Chauvinistic, elitist, snobbish, upper-class, income-tax-evading, black-money-hoarding, tax-haven-using, anti-social, imperialist, capitalist, post-modern Test cricket fans have always been dismissive of Twenty20 cricket and the millions of knowledgeable, sophisticated fans - including your truly - that the Twenty20 format has.

so-called "Text cricket aficionados" would constantly try to point out faults and shortcomings with the IPL format. Constantly they tried to undermine the cricket, the administrators, the cheerleaders, the bookmakers and - most arrogantly of all - the fans

Recently I was watching Test cricket on TV - I don't remember who the teams were, because everyone wore identical white clothes - and then suddenly they showed the inside of an Ikea showroom. I was confused. Why are they showing so many empty seats arranged in rows?

-> While he does make a valid point about test matched being played in front of empty seats he appear to be way tooo defensive of himself i.e. a T20 fan. I was one of those so-called text cricket fans who couldn't watch a tontey-tontey game in its entirety but don't remember ever bashing or looking down at T20 cricket fans. I guess it all boils down to generation gap.

i was one of those just before IPL 1. i have now changed my stand. i like all three formats. IPL is here to stay. they should shorten it and shouldn't play as many games. that's all.
