Will Swanton writes in the Sydney Morning Herald on the galvanising effects of the IPL which is bringing global harmony:
The IPL was supposed to divide the cricketing world. Instead, it's bringing an end to racial hostilities. All they need to do now is get Harbhajan Singh to stop slapping his fellow Indians around.
Shane Watson has been “blown away” by the IPL and thinks it will be good for future international matches. He tells the paper:
“It's like a celebration of cricket. You have Indian players playing with Australians and South Africans and Pakistanis and you get the chance to know blokes you didn't really know before. There's such a different range of players in every team, and it's going to break down a lot of the bad feelings or bad communication there might have been before. There will always be strong rivalries when we go back to having countries playing each other, but this is bringing a lot of people together.”
