Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[wasteyouryouth]

Almost every game is going this long.... Also the new rule of "reviewing wides and no-balls" is turning out to be nonsense and totally a time waste!

I think test teams would struggle to not bowl 40 overs in 4 hours and 15 minutes even if it included a lunch break and change of innings.

Do they not have the time limit rule? If they do it doesn't seem to be implemented well.

There is the time limit rule of bringing in an extra fielder into the circle after a certain cutoff time and also penalties for the captain (Dhoni strongly hinted at possibly being banned for a game, in his post match conference vs LSG at Chepauk) but it looks like they give away a lot of leeways and do not enforce it anywhere near strong enough

I think the extra fielder rule isn't good enough. Teams have just accepted it as a given at this point. Harsher penalties are needed.

Punjab and Rajasthan always produce good fighting games... Really enjoyed last night...

 

[Skankhunt_42]

Jason Roy to play today?

 

[pillowprocter]

Real idc move from Rana to announce the impact player before the toss, albeit accidentally.

Livingstone was on SKY, sounded dubious about the Impact Player rule. Said it seemed like 12 v 12, which it does.

Lord Lord Lord!

Lord Thakur on fire.

 

[Pinch hitter]

Lord Awaken... Thakur is hitting hard and high...

 

[Paranoid Kendroid]

Only RCB can reduce a team 89/5 and still end up giving more than 200 runs

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Superb partnership from Lord and Rinku

Why T F is Ashwin opening instead of Buttler?

They are trying to do what BBL team did with Sunil Narine.
