This week the BIG IPL Preview show on the Sticky Wicket Cricket Podcast!

Admittedly - none of the team have ever followed the IPL before. But as they say, better late than never, and this year all four at the Sticky Wicket Cricket team will be following the goings along closely throughout the tournament.

To assist the steep learning curve of the lights and the action of the IPL we've picked two (2) teams each from the eight (8) team in the competition. We will be following our chosen teams closely throughout the tournament and bringing you their news each week.

Teams and selection are as follows:

- Joe has run with Joe Butler's Mumbai Indians along with the Chris Woakes Kolkata Knight Riders

- Ed has chosen the favourites for the tournament with Virat Kohli's Royal Challenges Bangalore and Sam Billings' Delhi Daredevils

- Cheese has naturally fallen for Brendan McCullum's Gujarat Lions and the Big Show's Kings XI Punjab; and

- Marty has had no option but to settle for the Aussie Captain/Vice-Captain combo with Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Rising Pune Supergiant (not to be confused with last years Rising Pune Supergiants!)

Bring it on!

(but not for too long as we want the test cricket back...)
