Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[Bigby Wolf]

Vinay Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Ashok Dinda, all players of same boat.

Also wonder what happened to Varun Aaron? He has disappeared completely from any form of cricketing scene.

Varun Aaron has signed a county contract this season and 100% agree to the above list of players.

RR fans cried after they saw 11.5 crores wasted .

Ishant Sharma and RP Singh say hi!

*Although Ishant is one of the better test bowlers.

I know it's off topic, but what is the best source for watching IPL through online in Australia, one of my bestie recently moved there.

At least Aaron can generate pace and bounce unlike Vinay and Dinda. They bowl just medium pace, they may have been good six years ago but it's time for both to go.

Unadkat still has time to salvage a career for India. Odd that he's been going for so many runs when you see how economical he was last season.

Who will win today?
RR or DD?

Chennai to lose the rest of their home games, due to political issues happening in Tamil Nadu

Massive bummer! The protesters who flung shoes yesterday into the ground will feel like they've won. A shameful moment for Chennai folks whose loyalty and undying passion has been one of the biggest highlights of this IPL so far. As a Chennai-ite, I am devastated by this (even though I haven't watched a live match at Chepauk in my life).

I hope Ranchi gets Chennai's home games. The home support will likely be almost exactly the same. And possibly Ranchi might afford more turn than what Chennai did yesterday against KKR.

Foxtel subscription (A$39/month) or YuppTV (starting at $24.99/month for packages; which includes IPL)

@AliB Alan Willing is back with the Starsports hosting the pre match show. Kinda reminds of the days when He and Haraha used to do that even since the inception of EspnStar in India.

Rajasthan in a tough spot here, having to set a target in a tournament where chasing teams have won all games so far! Hope Rajasthan are the ones to buck that trend.

He has the audacity to say its just a game. He does not know how seriously fans follow the game. I am not advocating the actions some of them take justifiable like when Yuvi's house was pelted with stones after the WCT20 loss but you are freaking paid top notch money 1 crore rupees/10 million dollars. You are freaking expected to do your job. If you were in corporate and you were paid 10 million dollars a year and you messed up, you would be out. So no its just not a game, you are paid to perform and you have nothing but been mediocre throughout your career. Your entire career has been just a game kind off.

RR.

Good ol' days! The two may not have been great cricketers but their knowledge and voice are pleasing to the ears.

D'Arcy short what a waste of a wicket for him in the both the matches - runout. Actually was looking forward to see him after his heroics in the big bash and also in that t20i triseries hopefully its just a blemish and he can turn things around in the upcoming games.

Not sure who is he replying to? A lot of memes circulated after that over yesterday. Maybe quite a few were abusive of him. We all know how easily our people can cross the line when it comes to passion. We can criticize a player and want his ouster, but we cannot ABUSE a player. Most likely, Vinay Kumar got abuse which prompted him to post that.

I am not sympathizing for him (I was surprised he played ahead of Nagarkoti/Mavi even when they played against RCB). But he has a point in his tweet (if its coming from abuses).

As I said I am against any abuse a player has to go through. Its not justifiable in any way. But the way he says its just a game and need to CHILL, is not acceptable as well. Social media is a cruel cruel place and you not always have to reply. You could have accepted your mistake and moved on.

Totally disagree with your post.

You are freaking expected to do your job. If you were in corporate and you were paid 10 million dollars a year and you messed up, you would be out.

And is he not doing his job ? Is he sitting in the dug out and saying 'No, I won't play. I want money without playing'. And do you even know that he is not putting his efforts ? He is doing his best and it is just not good at this level. And if managers are unhappy, let them throw him out of the team. He didn't ask anyone to buy him for 1 crore. His stats are out in the open.

So no its just not a game, you are paid to perform and you have nothing but been mediocre throughout your career.

Your entire career has been just a game kind off.

Have you even followed his career ? I really, really doubt you have. Yes, he didn't click in international level but he is an amazing player in domestic level. He has won so many games for his state and he has even captained his team to win the trophy. Karnataka has won 2 Ranji Trophies under his captaincy. He is one among the top ten wicket takers in the history of Ranji Trophy and he is the highest wicket taker among the fast bowlers in Ranji trophy. Sometimes he has even batted well in tough conditions and lifted his team to win. So, no. Not at all. His entire career is not mediocre.

And there is nothing wrong with his tweet. He has every right to defend himself against abusers and we have no idea what messages he must be getting from angry fans.
