Three very vital knocks from Bravo, Jadeja and Negi. Love seeing Indian players taking on established foreign players- Sarfaraz yesterday and Negi today.

Yes 2:30 mins break for making strategies and sucking fans + taking momentum away from the batsmen.

i don't quite know whether the timeout thing is worse than the "Yes Bank Maximum" yet

god, there's somehow more sponsorship in this than in american sports

The strategic timeout is what they use to milk ads to the TV viewers.

Sorry, I think you mean the CEAT Tyres Strategic Timeout

Nice to see that Yuvraj Singh is still bad at T20 cricket

You have to pay to watch IPL on cricketgateway now after the other matches were free. That is pretty crap when the IPL is not broadcast on TV in Australia.

The worst bit is it adds even more time on what appear to be the longest games of t20 ever. Most of them approaching 4 hours!?!?

 

[Aalay]

See It's fine If you come up with some insightful criticism of the IPL but saying that strategic time out makes the game longer is absolute nonsense. It usually takes an hour and half for each inning to finish with a ten minutes of break in between the inning and a total of ten minutes of strategic timeout. I mean they have to do the time out to make sponsors happy because they are providing them with shit load of money. If you are criticizing the whole tournament for that extra 10 minutes, it really doesn't make sense to me. Cricket is the most watched sport in India so If your company sponsors a cricket tournament like IPL, it is likely to bring you money and that is why you see so many sponsors in IPL.
