Indian Premier League - General Discussion

This Malik lad looks rapid!
Needs to be groomed, something special of him, express pace from Indians is rare, 145 we have many but 150s is really special. Please groom him and bring him to the national team!
 
Oh come on! One or two games and we all start raving about these 'talents' from the IPL. Let him grow in domestic cricket first. The way people are touting him, Venky Iyer,etc- it could be disastrous for them.

Remember Swapnil Asnodkar? One season wonder! Give it some time, let these guys play for India A over a prolonger period of time. Only then should they be considered for the bigger team.

We have a guy who can bowl low to mid-150 kph but without control and those huge full tosses!!! :facepalm
 
It's hard to believe that MI may not make the playoffs. I would be surprised if that happens. They somehow manage to scrape through via scintillating cricket during last stages of the tournament.

Well for that RR would need to beat KKR which looks unlikely at this stage. KKR's run rate is far better than PBKS, RR & MI. If KKR gets to 14 points then it would look almost impossible for those 3. I am not writing off that 2014 possibility.
 
I am seriously disappointed with the scheduling of the last day. Both matches begin at 7:30 IST at different venues!!!!! :mad
The official reason is to ensure no advantage to the teams on qualification scenarios. The unofficial version is that BCCI want to conduct a test run for next year when 10 teams will play

On a lighter note, it is to ensure MI don't know what is their qualification scenario to get in to top 4 and let CSK easily run away with their 4th title and bid a farewell to Dhoni-Raina pair. :lol

On a serious note, there was a 10-team IPL back in 2011 and no such scheduling took place. Maybe they were just running short on time so the forced a second match on the same day. But this is surprising since Friday is a holiday in UAE and there is no afternoon match.

If I remember right, both games were expected to happen on the same day at different times. They’ve just changed the timings for them.

Considering the situation on the table now, there will anyways be no place for not knowing the qualification scenarios. The 2nd game of the day is between qualified teams (RCB v DC) who could be playing for top 2 qualification. MI will know what to do when they take the field.
 
Hotstar tweaked us all! The 399, now 499 plan has become mobile only in the middle of the game, shittiest behaviour this.
 
Sent Ashwin at 6. Good captaincy from Pant.
 
Great indeed!
Pant's decision did not work today but it was not bad decision. Ashwin is good in building partnership.
