How can you expect to make megabucks in IPL if you ain't gonna fly from Mohali to Mumbai on a daily basis? I am sure you will overcome the fear of flying then Ian my old son. New franchises coming up...Eyes down look in. I think you would do well in the the 20/20 IPL as you hit the deck hard and in the 'corridor of uncertainty' as Sir Geoffry would say. Great Blog Ian and keep it up and maybe extend it to provisional games so a geezer in Uganda like me can see how it all works at that level. I do followthe NZ domestic stuff thru Cricinfo. Keep it up fella.....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06608852546160989868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048182129488547252.post-25230149354853210762008-12-16T23:56:00.000+00:002008-12-16T23:56:00.000+00:00Hi Iain, great blog.

They always look timid and sketchy. They look like they are afraid to get out. As a cricketer myself i was always taught to always believe that you are better no matter who is bowling. To be thinking "Where can i score runs off this bowler" instead of "I hope i don't get out".<BR/>In my opinion Crickets all about confidence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048182129488547252.post-18951658431481632212008-12-16T07:46:00.000+00:002008-12-16T07:46:00.000+00:00Gillespie in the curry club then?Gillespie in the curry club then?Brathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650539237081910593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048182129488547252.post-55488803459553930922008-12-16T04:26:00.000+00:002008-12-16T04:26:00.000+00:00I have noticed alot of sledging from the black cap...I have noticed alot of sledging from the black caps of late and seems that you Iain are behind most of it. Good on ya mate tell those aussies were they can get off :)<BR/>Also agreed that gillespie is rather big compared to his last apperance.
