Why dont you want to talk about the present form? Does it burn you so much? Calm down its only a game - lets not bring gayism or losing so so badly - that wouldnt be cricket.
Lets look at the facts. Pakistan no IPL - current international team - to be feared anywhere they play. India IPL - International form so so dismal. Any link? I think yes.
Dhoni and Pieterson were caught recently in the MIDDLE of a test match talking about how much forward they were looking to the IPL auction. How good can that be for team morale. Its obviously affected their performance - look how they played.
I hope asa a Pakistani cricket lover our cricketers are kept away from the IPL because the results lately say it all.
