I enjoy all forms of cricket, especially the 5 day version. The T20's are lot less stressful than tests (and way less stressful than CWC's, depending on who you support ). So this should be loads of fun.

I am looking forward to seeing some of our newbies, like Rilee Rossouw, Colin Ingram and Robbie Frylinck, in their adventures on the big stage.

3 days to go...

Is udt.co.za doing an IPL fantasy game? I generally prefer this to the cricinfo.com game.

It's on in CricInfo ... created mine. Some start a league? Maybe we ask RPM for some prizes to spice it up?

I don't like Cricinfo's fantasy. It's too time consuming...

Does anyone know if youtube is live streaming the games again like they did last year? Can't find any word either way from some brief googling.

Is that so, then I don't need pay over R500 for premium to watch the IPL?

Anyone know the 'after hours' DSTV schedule?

Well, obviously that's a judgement call.

Pro's:
No DSTV subs

Con's:
ADSL subs
Data subs
Not HD
Loss of the rest of the DSTV package

Your call

Edit: The question of whether they'll be streaming remains...
