Want to know why Warne and Pidge retired in 2007 ?
If you want to believe Javed Miandad, then here is the reason :
Due to the IPL, superstars like Shane Warne [ Images ] and Glenn McGrath [ Images ] retired from the Australian cricket team.
"They could easily play for another couple of years, but rushed to the IPL, as the amount was very attractive; so when the Indian team visited Australia [ Images ], who were without senior players like Warne and McGrath, it was easy for the Indians to control the opposing team."
Now somebody need to explain the jumping jack that IPL was announced in Sep 2007 and both superstars retired in Jan 2007, even ICL was not born then.
Being the "samdhi" of a mafia don himself he calls IPL a mafia :
The Indian Premier League is becoming a big mafia that wants to control world cricket; it is not only endangering the existence of the International Cricket Council [ Images ], but also the rest of the cricketing nations.
If IPL is threat to India, he answers : "Not at all; the IPL will help Indians only, but it will weaken the rest of the teams. India will get the best players of the world and weaken other teams".
He should be told that only Indian citizens can play for India and we've got no system we know of where foreign nationals can play for India.
"Twenty20 cricket is no cricket, but money-cricket; everybody knows that it is commercial cricket; the main cricket is moving towards destruction"
Destruction in Pak for cricket? Yes. Not elsewhere.
Clearly the guy has lost his mind and is suffering from diarohea from mouth rather than back.
