Cricket blogs

This week I have been looking at cricketing blogs to see what has been happening in the world of cricket.

The stand out event of the week has been the auction of players for the upcoming Indian Premier League. The Indian Premier League is a brand new event focused solely on Twenty20 cricket. The best players from around the world (apart from England) have been put up for auction for the eight competing teams to buy. This has attracted a lot of attention in the blogging world with people debating which players have been the best signings, who's over valued and who's over priced. There has also been debate over the ethics of auctioning players of and where cricket is heading at the moment with one day games over taking the more traditional test match.

Another good blog that I found was by Chemosit. He was arguing that the ICC was 'raping' the sport by cutting the number of teams allowed to compete in the next cricket world cup from to just 14. He was arguing that it was bad for the sport and unfair on the lesser teams.

Other matters that have been touched on in blogs but not so much as the IPL has been England's one day series against New Zealand and Australia's tri series featuring Sri Lanka and India. Despite England's remarkable draw with New Zealand on Tuesday there has been little mention of this. There has also been some focus on the under - 19 cricket world cup.
