Looks more like Styris is interrupting the "overjoyed" duo in full
action. :-)

I actually think the multi-national-ness of the IPL is its greatest
attribute. Keep in mind that's a relative term.
2nd biggest is seeing all the retired Aussies again, ie Warne.
Strange. I hated him when he was playing, but now that he can't tear
through my 3 lions, don't really mind the bloke.

It's rather amusing to see Indian fans getting all excited about what
has been the norm in English cricket for forty years.
Cheers,
Mike

Oh, one other attribute that is worth mentioning - it's on my free-to-
air TV. Unlike County.
Only time will tell how long that lasts.

But they are friggin' showing it on the digital channels only ! The
hole-in-wall accommodation I could manage in Sydney has analog only
transmission.

A squad. I started by picking only Test players (mostly dull-sounding South
Africans who played one match), added some first-class players, then people
whose names I fancied. A rather uninteresting lot, I suspect.
Norman Fry (Australian Aboriginals) opened the batting v Clive Lloyd's
London Community Cricket XI at Hackney, 1988
Normal Mitchell-Innes (England, Somerset) batsman and medium-fast bowler,
played one Test for England in 1935. Was in the Sudan Civil Service.
Norman Callaway (NSW) - scored 207 in only first-class innings before being
killed in WW I.
Norman O'Neill (NSW, Australia) batsman, one of the few genuinely successful
Normans.
Norman Featherstone (Middlesex, Transvaal etc.) - moderately successful
county batsman and off-spin bowler 1968 to 1981
Norman Fletcher (Rugby School 1894-1896) Opening bowler who didn't play
first-class cricket but shares a name with the character from Porridge hence
demands inclusion.
Norman Gallichan (Wellington 1929/30 - 1938/39) left arm spinner, played one
Test for NZ in 1937, bowling Walter Hammond.
Norman Gifford (England, Worcs, Warks 1960 -1988) left arm spinner
Norman Marshall (West Indies) off-spinner. One Test for WI v Australia
1954/55
A Norman (Argentina) played for Argentina on the legendary tour of Chile
1963/64, batting at ten and not bowling
Norman Norton (South Africa) medium pacer, one Test v England in 1909/10
taking 4/47 in his only bowl.
Norman Reid (South Africa) right arm bowler (unknown style) one Test v
Australia 1921/22.
Norman Rock (Tasmania 1890 - 1894) right arm fast medium round-arm bowler,
chosen because name sounds like a Building Society.
Norman Wisdom. Played for Lord's Taverners v Old England XI containing
Compton, Alec Bedser, Washbrook, Edrich etc. at Lord's 1962. Evidently one
of the umpires was 100 years old.
Norman Yardley (Yorkshire, England 1935 - 1955) captained England v
Australia 1948, filling a role as a bitson all-rounder
Norman Gordon (South Africa) right arm fast bowler, took 1-174 in England's
second innings of 654/5 in the timeless Test at Durban 1938/39. Currently
the second-oldest living Test player at 97.
Norman Cowans (Middlesex, England). Emerged from the Jackson Five to bowl
England to victory at the MCG, 1982/83.
Norman Gunston. Check him out interviewing Tony Greig:

Just to follow up on this: Mr. Gordon is now the oldest living Test cricketer, at 101 last August. He's also the first Test player to reach 100, and also the last person alive to have played Tests before World War II.
Can we have a list of players with rhyming first and last names?
