IPL Indian Premier League 2016- General Discussion

[grkrama]

I am excited about today's match. It is very crucial for RCB to sstay in the race by winning this match. If they loose this, what little hope is left, will be gone for us.

I really hope RCB does well today!

Its just an imagination of every Pune/MSD dan.

Completely irrelevant post to what we were discussing about (DLS method). Very well played!

KKR did all the hard work in 17.4 over and restricted them to 103.
They deserve to win , not just 1 point.
And pune didn't played well through out the match.
They don't even deserve a single point .
The match was in KKR's favor from the start.
Not just the rain.

How can you say that? What if RPS bowled like SRH and defended that total. Everything is possible in cricket

 

[Till Valhalla]

RPS bowled like SRH

You can only dream.

You can dream what? SRH defending 103 or RPS bowling like SRH

When did I say that? I just said they need to come up wth a better technique for T20 at least where DLS does not make sense at all. It doesn't make sense in ODI as well but in T20, it is just brutal to use DLS.



This is absolute BS. Just because they restricted them to 103 does not mean they deserve to win. What if Pune had good last 2 overs and then went onto bowl better than KKR. It's T20 and anything can happen in this game. I don't want to repeat myself all over again but the point you are making is absolutely bizarre. I am not defending Pune here, I am saying it in general. It just puts the other team in a disadvantage.

That one too completely irrelevant.

You might actually want to read that post and you will realize that It was in no way irrelevant.

Russell & Shakib saved us today. 183 is not much seeing Kohli and ABD's form but let's see how our bowlers perform.

 

[Aalay]

Did anyone see that? lol Gambhir throwing the ball like an absolute loser.

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

Gambhir's strike rate has been lesser than MSD (before this match), yet Saroj's been hating MSD for no reason.

 

[zwarrior]

Wow. Much needed win. Happy to see Gayle getting some runs. Hope he smashes around for another two games. And did anyone see Kohli's six in PP. How good was that ? Oh my! That was so sweet.

Need another 2 wins ! Come on boys. Aaaar Ceeeee Beeeeeee

There is a difference between an opener and a no 6 batsman, whom you call Finisher for no reason.

MIND=BLOWN!

That's an irrelevant comment, come up with something new. Both the positions are just as valuable as the other.

 

[themusketeer]

As it turns out, 183 wasn't enough at all.

First of all, I'd like to start off by saying that I have the utmost respect for GG and his achievements. Without him, we would not be T20 or WC champions. Yes, the record books will say Irfan Pathan and MS Dhoni were MOM in those finals, but without GG they were both like cars in an F1 race without the engine.

Secondly, you and Gautam Gambhir are doing a mighty fine job of making this forum the world vs GG. Let's get one thing straight- No one here believes that GG isn't worthy of accolades for what he's achieved and in fact, he gets far lesser than what he deserves! But perhaps, it's reserved for the time he hangs up his boots. Everyone wants Indian cricket to do well, and if you spend half your time around here in sensible argument you might just see that none of us are against GG and that if he's still got it, we'd all love to see him dawn the India shirt again!

Fact is, what he's doing a lot of younger Indian talent is doing as well (in weaker sides) for instance a M Vijay and I don't want to name more. You might feel MS is not worth his salt and unfortunately for you, you fall in a serious minority!!

I'd just like to sight something out- When this RCB KKR game was done, GG refused to shake hands with VK. He CLEARLY has an attitude problem in my opinion. He DID cost KKR the game by dropping VK!

Kohli is in the form of his life and I think as Indians we should appreciate it. GG needs to come out of his world where he thinks the world is against him or his talent. There is a spot for him in the ODI's and I genuinely believe this, but the T20 ship has sailed! MS himself is on borrowed time. It's the reality and all great players must accept it! How great are MS and GG? Well, just like you have stats saying GG is the real deal as opener, I have stats that say MS is the real deal as finisher! Comparisons are endless, and if you credit KKR for their rise to GG, CSK never ever missed the top 4 in 9 years!! That says a lot.

Also, GG's attitude of late has been in very very poor taste!

It's best you accept some realities, but I fear this post is an attempt in vain!
