Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[Bevab]

Why was Lord Thakur not even considered for India world cup selection this time?

Hard to select someone who isn’t even a regular for their IPL side.

Another loss for SRH incoming. They seem to have lost steam or the opponents have figured out the top 4.

 

[Fenil]

RR robbed, that was clear six by Sanju.

From what I saw in the highlights, it looked as if the boundary cushions didn't move. I am sure they must have showed more angles during the live match. Controversial nonetheless.

What an innings from Sanju though! I wish he breaks his bad international form and translates his IPL form into the highest level.

As you mentioned, they are not showing all the angles in highlights, 3rd umpire took the decision quickly in the match too, even though one of the angle showed clearly the shoe was brushing the boundary rope clearly.

Sanju too saw that on the big screen and got upset with it.

The MI, PK, GT disrespect!

They took more time for a wide DRS call in which they showed the wrong highlight anyway than they took for the dismissal.

Between yesterday’s match and some odd behaviour I noticed whilst watching games in the stadium… it wouldn’t surprise me if spot fixing is still a thing in the IPL.

I have seen a few odd things as well which has made me of the thought to accept that fixing is a part of IPL and get on with it. I watch it only as a pass time and follow GT and look for some new exciting youngsters (irrespective of the team they play) and thats about it. I don't even MI's games that religiously though they used to be my favs since the inception of IPL. Still remember Jayasuriya claiming he is waiting to bat with Sachin (who was injured at the time) and when they actually played together, Sanath smashed a century. Maling being good as ever. Harbhajan and Symonds playing in the same team after monkeygate. Dwayne Bravo selflessly recommending Pollard to the MI management and made way for him. Ishan's valiant 90 against all odds couple of seasons ago. Hayden's carnage with the mangoose bat, David Hussey's acrobatics at the boundary line, Ponting take a spectacular catch at short cover off Bumrah in his first season (possibly his first match where he took 3 wickets IIRC). Shaun Marsh taking the world to a storm. Brett Lee's first ball of the season to Unmukt Chand. Natarajan's beautiful yorker which led the prime Andre Russell fall on the ground. There have been plenty of great moments but its all just entertainment + business now and not much the former. I am fine with that anyway but the passion to follow the tournament is certainly long gone.

Sunrisers just scored the same number of runs in the fifth over alone as Lucknow did in the first five.

 

[Bevab]

I’m going full @ahmedleo414 here and picking Sunrisers to win this game.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Someone should tie KL Rahul and make him watch the batting of Head and Abhishek for the rest of cricketing career.

 

[Fenil]

My word! What the heck was that?! Those SRH demons have risen again.

 

[Umair7]

SRH just buried LSG alive!

S/R is overrated

 

[asprin]

What in the actual.....

Hard to believe it was not from me, every piece of this text has the resemb of my feeling recently, the MI point makes it much more.
