Chris Gayle - IPL legend and PSL reject

[IndianFan2018]

Universe Boss is back ... Humble pie for doubters

Rashid Khan was man handled today

 

[BreadPakoda]

Saves his best for the best league. Should skip other leagues like Russel and Bravo do.

 

[Darkrai]

PSL = Hard (quality cricket) IPL= easy That's why gayle and many others get exposed in PSL and dominates in IPL.

He too skips by setting higher min price. Indirectly saying I can’t play your league.

He was in bad form and he did not perform every where during those days including IPL. Go check the stats.

Fair enough. Good decision.

 

[dragon751]

Lol yea yea PSL is next best thing since sliced bread..

sliced bread... its the next best thing to the wheel or fire ... dont underplay the greatness of the "PSL" and its "the greatest show on earth "

 

[Darkrai]

I'm not sure why some people are offended by my comment. I was merely speaking the truth. I didn't imply IPL doesn't have quality players, i only stated the quality of cricket is poor-which is mostly due to flat pitches.

no one is offended mate ... i am just amused at your lack of cricket knowledge and your blinkered thinking

and you said it yourself ... PSL. pitches make even avg bowlers look good .... and IPL pitches make dunces of good bowlers a la dale steyn ..... go figure ... but in your brilliant mind that equates ti PSL having the greatest bowlers on earth

He was a failure during those two years everywhere. He dominated prior and doing well now. I know you don't want to talk about this point for obvious reasons.

 

[Syed1]

Guys is it true that Gayle who couldn't buy a run in the PSL scored a ton in IPL today

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I don't understand why this thread has run into so many pages.

What Gayle does in PSL is immaterial.

He has proven himself for years.

Gayle is the greatest ever T20 bat.

Period.

 

[Josh]

Yup! He ain't no legendary Kamran or Ronchi. Lol!

 

[Send1983]

Yup! He ain't no legendary Kamran or Ronchi. Lol!

You missed out some of the great names like bopara, denly, etc

 

[Usman Chadda]

Yup! He ain't no legendary Kamran or Ronchi. Lol!

Ronchi scored more in one season than Gayle did in two seasons.

I'm surprised he is playing blinders here in the IPL.

 

[kuskash]

That's true, and it also shows your cricketing knowledge. Also PSL greats like Bopara, Denly could not get the place in mere IPL.

 

[Send1983]

Ronchi scored more in one season than Gayle did in two seasons.

If PSL had money to pay Gayle this year, he would have showed his current form. BTW Gayle failed in IPL as well during those years he failed in PSL.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Doubt it. In the UAE he is a sitting duck. Monstrous T20 batsman, but Gayle would be an easy wicket for most PSL bowlers no matter what form he's in.

 

[Send1983]

Rashid Khan is far better bowler than anyone you have in PSL. He was hit 4 Sixers on that huge mohali ground. Think about your bowlers on 45 yrd boundaries. Even miss hit would go for six.

 

[Fast Bowler]

I would like to see his aggregate at the end of the season. I saw him today for the first time in ages and despite all the good hitting, the guy could hardly run. I wouldn't have picked him as a franchise owner, but clearly Kings XI know better

 

[Poutine]

How does that even make sense? Gayle played the first two seasons and was in the draft for this one but didn't get selected, what does money have to do with this?

I mean i get that you are trying to troll but al least be subtle and come up with points that make some sense.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

They lost due to a couple of brilliant individual innings by Evin Lewis. Individual brilliance can happen any time anywhere, but more often than not, the better overall team is going to win.

If India were to play West Indies 10 times, they would win majority of the games because they are a better team.

Similarly, Pakistan’s bowling attack that won them the Champions Trophy by dismantling three world class batting lineups in a row could not defend 310 against a mediocre West Indies lineup in the first ODI, thanks to a brilliant individual innings by Jason Mohammed.

and Wahab Riaz's brilliance as well.

So there was no min price? PSL thought Dinesh Ramin was more valuable than Chris Gayle ? Gayle got highest salary in first 2 seasons, 200k as per one of the posters here. All in sudden in the 3rd he has no more value than Dinesh Ramdin?

Lol at me trolling. Read the thread title and OP, we all know who is trolling here.

 

[sshakir411]

Sohail Tanvir still reigns supreme in IPL...I don't think we need to be surprised by Gayle being the hottest t20 player now. The same Indians called him 'over the hill' last 2 years when he couldn't buy a run with 2 separate teams in the PSL. Everyone knows Indian hype is grossly exaggerated.

Gayle placed himself in the platinum category and could only have been picked from there. IIRC each team got 3 picks from that category and no one picked Gayle. Everyone picked in the platinum section got the same money that Gayle would have gotten. Thats why your money point makes no sense.

As for Ramdin, he got picked up in the sliver category, If Gayle was in that section, he may have been picked. But he clearly overestimated his value at least for the PSL.

This guy claimed the boundaries in pSL were 45yards each side, when asked for how he came up with that...he said he eye balled it. Typical Indian troll being desperate.

Also as per PSL draft rules if a player is not picked in the category they were placed in they could be picked in the next below category...for example Ahmed Shehzad was regulated one category down and then bought by Multan. Indians trying too hard because the same Gayle they made fun of 2 years ago for playing PSL is now the hottest thing in the IPL.

IPL = Bollywood. Will hype anyone and anything...

45 Yards? Lol that guy is either misinformed or just a troll I honestly don't get the insecurity from some IPL fans,if they are happy with their league, why do they need to make up lies against PSL?

 

[kuskash]

So many people trying hard to prove PSL>>>IPL. I agree with them.

 

[Syed1]

Bhai he started off with 35 yards... First I asked him are you sure because 35 yards is just 32 meters and he was like I'm 100% sure..... There have always been Indian trolls here but their quality has plummeted recently

 

[Send1983]

Lol. I am not responsible if you took it literally and start teaching maths. I was trying to be nice, that's why increased it to 45 from 35. Btw 45 yrds could be close to what was the size of that boundary. It was that small. Big playground between boundary line and spectators. Lol at you calling someone troll.

That's why i said he wanted min price. PSL rightly did not pick him as a platinum player. They could have easily picked him over Dinesh Ramdin if he was ready to play for the same price that was paid to Dinesh.

Whereas with IPL, even lower end salary is good enough for Gayle. But still IPL didnt pick him originaly. Punjab later on took a chance and picked him. Rest is history. Already played two match winning innings which kings 11 wanted out of him when they picked him.

Overall if you look at his entire career, he is the best ever T20 player. It's like mocking Sachin for his failure in Eng and Aus in his last series, if you use Gayle's poor form to mock IPL.

 

[Darkrai]

and you said it yourself ... PSL. pitches make even avg bowlers look good .... and IPL pitches make dunces of good bowlers a la dale steyn ..... go figure ... but in your brilliant mind that equates ti PSL having the greatest bowlers on earth

Maybe you should read it again...when did i say PSL has the greatest bowler? Whether IPL has the best bowlers or the best batsmen is not the point, when the overall cricket is poor. When you have tailer-enders smashing records. When you have batsmen like vijay murali hitting 100s. What's so special about a great knock in IPL? Nothing! because everyone can do it over and over and make it look ridiculously easy.

You trying to indicate PSL has avg bowlers is funny considering most IPL bowlers are extremely below par.

Do you know why a team like RCB, consisting of best LOIs batsmen, struggles? No, not because of their bowling, it has been the excuse for a long time now, it's because batting is relatively easy in IPL. I known that sounds weird but it's the truth. Because of that even mediocre batsmen swing their bats and hit the bowlers left and right and score ton of runs. If batting was not so easy then you wouldn't have that, at least not nearly as often, and only great batsmen would be able to play great match winning knocks. That's when batsmen like Kohli and AB would out shine their opposition, but instead you got players like Narine who play watch winning knock-smashing everyone.

Last season teams got bowled out for 49, 58, 66, 67,73 . So you cannot say batting is easy. Pakistan's best strike for a player in T20 is Afridi 150. But average is 18. KL Rahul average 45 strike rate 145. Kohli average 50 strike rate 137. Pakistan batsmen don't have great strike rates in general. Those who have good strike also have poor average. I am pretty sure even Pak fans agree how slow the approach of Pakistan batsmen in general is. Most of them are technically poor and also they are not smooth timers of the ball. Their bowling is good. But that is not the reason why PSL has low scores. Slow nature of pitch and general lack of skills with bat is the reason why scores are low.

Delution written all over the post. My local league where teams struggle to get past 140 and if you score 150, you have a winning score. So quality of cricket in my league is better than IPL? Just accept the fact that teams are filled with world class batsmen in IPL. BTW do you watch IPL or watched only the first year?

Yes "world class batsmen" who struggle in PSL and smash in IPL. And other "world class" who are nobodies out of IPL. Everything i said is the truth. If you don't like my opinion ok but several international cricketers said the quality of bowling is superb in PSL. The top players who don't play in PSL but play in IPL here are their stats in International cricket. Kock avg 29 SR 127, Smith avg 21 SR 122, Warner avg 26 SR 140, Buttler avg 125 SR 134, Stokes with bat avg 14 SR 136 bowl avg 48.....i'm sorry are these the batsmen that you are very proud of? I don't see much difference when i compare their stats with other not so "world class" players. Just because they can score 800+ runs in IPL with some 100+ in one inning doesn't mean they are some kind of entirely different level players.

Yes that will happen when you don't bat on flat tracks and try to smash everything or when there is a little something in the pitch.

You didn’t have answer for this. Gayle failed in IPL while he was failing in PSL. While he was good in IPL and BbL, there was no PSL. Now this year he played well in BBL and playing well in a IPL, but he did not play in PSL. Your comparison is wrong here.

Dekock, Warner, Butler, Stokes are some of the top players who won their countries games against top teams. They didn’t have luxury to play against one team 50% of their games. That one team’s top players are not available most of the times. Seriously, these players are better than anyone you have in your team. Sour Grapes? Don’t have to talk crap about them just because they rejected your league. They may not be world class for you, but they are world class for most of the cricket pundits if not all.

Also you missed other world class batsmen playing in IPL deliberately to win the argument. Lol. Let me name some of the names here Abdv, Finch, Maxwell, Roy, Manro, Lewis, Indian batsmen like Rohit, Shikar, Kohli, Rahul, Samson, Dhoni,etc., all these batsmen spread across IPL teams, that’s why they score 160+ consistently without boundary lines being pulled in up to inner circle.

Don’t even compare batting of IPL and PSL and embarrass yourself.

While whatever the thread title says is 100% factual I don't agree with the premise of the thread in terms of what it is alluding

However it is priceless to see so many Indian posters being so flustered on here, and going around in circles to combat the slight to their beloved ipl due to Gayle being back in the runs. They seem clueless as to what to do

 

[Darkrai]

excuses excuses and excuses, every Indian i come across. Sorry to burst your bubble don't mix the formats buddy, those stats i gave are real-deal with it. Those batsmen are IPL class not world class. In IPL even Tail-enders are Great batsmen. Last i check Babar was number 1 in T20-deal with it. Last i check India played SL like every other month. Every team plays SL and WI not just pakistan. You guys even lost to WI. Babar scored in NZ , who were the number 1 or 2 team at that time, and World XI. Last i check Batsmen that play in PSL spanked you guys and every other world class players. While every IPL player you mentioned was humiliated in the final. Lolll legendary IPL batsmen....10 years of IPL yet your team isn't even number 1...it is PSL guns that number 1.

Yes there you go. For PSL to pick Gayle they would need to pay the highest fees which they didnot want as Gayle was a risky option.

KXIP could throw $300k and take that risk because they have a much fatter wallet. Risk came through. If it didnot come through it was still a risk.

[Ellipsism]

Why are Pakistanis so insecure? Gayle has only failed because the pitches in the PSL are generally slow turners and do not favour stroke makers. Whilst in the IPL pitches generally make for entertaining T20 cricket- i.e. pitches that favour stroke making. It’s not hard concept to grasp.

Gayle’s failures at the PSL is not litmus test for the quality of bowling in the PSL. This is the same league that Kami has been dominating for seasons.

There’s a couple of real good bowlers surrounded by a whole heap of mediocrity in the PSL, and the same can be applied to the batting.

So first you say don't mix formats and then gloat over CT which is a 50 over tournament.

10 years of ipl has seen us be semi finalist screwed over by dew and finalists prior to that screwed over by yuvraj, remind me how you lot did in W-t20?

You talk about facing SL and WI, you are correct that every one faces them, problem with Pakistan is those are the only teams you play.

In last 2 years these are the teams and games the top 4 t-20 teams have faced
Pakistan- WI-10 SL-3 NZ-3 Eng-1
Australia- NZ-3 Eng-2 Ind-2 SL-5
India - WI-3 SL-6 NZ-3 Eng-3 SA-3 Ban-3 Zim-3 Aus- 2
NZ- Ind- 3 Eng-2 Ban-3 Aus- 3 WI-3 SA-1 Pak-3

Tell who in this group is the team only facing minnows.

Again excuses, now dew and yuvraj...ok. In case you didn't know this was only 3rd season of PSL and our team has improved because of PSL.
I only brought up CT cuz the other poster was mocking PSL batsmen and making IPL batsmen seem like some legends.
First of all why do WI only become minnow when they face us? and World champions when they face others? Last i check they were the World champions. And they were the number 1 team in T20s until we defeated them over and over. After the WC WI has defeated India, Afgh, and Eng and lost to Pakistan and NZ. Now they are minnow but i guess they will become champions again once they beat you guys.

Rashid Khan is far better bowler than anyone you have in PSL. He was hit 4 Sixers on that huge mohali ground. Think about your bowlers on 45 yrd boundaries. Even miss hit would go for six.

Would have. Could have. Should have.

Gayle will never be successful in the PSL. An easy wicket. His game is not tuned to UAE wickets and once he loses confidence, he stops scoring even on good wickets.

 

[aniket1911]

Well that's what happens when you don't enough money to players

Gayle has been paid to the tune of 2 million USD since many year in IPL, this time around when he went unsold for first 3 round, and then finally lapped up at measly 300,000 USD, he got the necessary motivation to up his game. Just like bravo, I don't think he cares much about lowly leagues like PSL where his IPLs base price is highest salary paid to him. Neither, not scoring in the self-proclaimed best Bowling league will dent his legacy as GOAT T20 batsman.

It's the coping mechanisms of many Pakistanis here that gayle doesn't light up their tournament like he does in our league. It's there loss to be honest.

Again excuses, now dew and yuvraj...ok. In case you didn't know this was only 3rd season of PSL and our team has improved because of PSL.
I only brought up CT cuz the other poster was mocking PSL batsmen and making IPL batsmen seem like some legends.
First of all why do WI only become minnow when they face us? and World champions when they face others? Last i check they were the World champions. And they were the number 1 team in T20s until we defeated them over and over. After the WC WI has defeated India, Afgh, and Eng and lost to Pakistan and NZ. Now they are minnow but i guess they will become champions again once they beat you guys.

WI may be champions but only pak don't think of them as minnows, there is a reason why they couldn't even win the Qualifiers tournament. Fact is your team has not faced any decent team barring NZ and Eng if playing 1 match is considered for something.

No one cares about T-20 rankings it is WC that matters. Before you go all we are no 1 so rankings don't matter , just see how many t-20 games most teams play, Every team barring Ind and Pak play every other team in Tests and ODI's, t-20's is basically an after thought for most. Just look at the indian squad for the Nidhas Trophy.

if narine can bat like warner in ipl then no surprise gayle like class player will not spare any bowler in ipl

 

[Finisher]

What’s the average score of a CPL game in comparison to that of a PSL game?

Don't get your point.

We beat NZ in a 3 match series.

Its hilarious watching the Indians try to counter the premise of this thread. )

 

[Send1983]

excuses excuses and excuses, every Indian i come across. Sorry to burst your bubble don't mix the formats buddy, those stats i gave are real-deal with it. Those batsmen are IPL class not world class. In IPL even Tail-enders are Great batsmen. Last i check Babar was number 1 in T20-deal with it. Last i check India played SL like every other month. Every team plays SL and WI not just pakistan. You guys even lost to WI. Babar scored in NZ , who were the number 1 or 2 team at that time, and World XI. Last i check Batsmen that play in PSL spanked you guys and every other world class players. While every IPL player you mentioned was humiliated in the final. Lolll legendary IPL batsmen....10 years of IPL yet your team isn't even number 1...it is PSL guns that number 1.

Another delusional post. We are no 1 in test and ODI, deal with it. Best cricket team considering all the format. Deal with it.

I don’t have any response for someone who really feel Babar Azam is better than all the top t20 players playing in IPL.

You are peaching not to mix format, but you are saying Kohli, Rohit, Shikar, etc are not world class because they failed in CT final.

 

[Peshwa]

Well on lighter note Technically Speaking Every Pakistani Player is IPL Reject and PSL Legend...

What about ODI and Test rankings? No one cares about them either?

 

[Slog]

If no Indians responded this thread would ahve been buried long ago lol you want that to happen?

So Indians are obviously triggered then...

Anyways there's nothing to debate as far as the three title is concerned.

It is factual. Gayle is an IPL legend and a PSL reject

 

[aniket1911]

Funniest thing happened

Just saw Sanga commentating on IPL today, if IPL commentators like Sanga, KP, Darren sammy et cetera are key players in PSL, gives us yet another epistemological instantiation of which league is dependent upon discards.

I think PSL should name their next team as :
IPLs commentators freeloaders.

Now that's really catchy! )

He is not a T20 legend? He is not a legend in BBL and CPL? So you don’t see trolling part of OP and title?

Like Luke Ronchi is PSL Legend and IPL discard....

 

[IndianFan2018]

I would rather have a goal to improve PCB and Pak cricket than to trigger Indians whose league has already been successful for few years.

Like pulling someone's leg who is already on top ... Instead of aiming to reach top by themselves

 

[IndianFan2018]

Most of you posters on this forum are absolute dunces.
Kab akal ayegi tum logon ko??
Fighting over IPL vs PSL is like 2 brothers fighting over who gets to bury their dead mother.

Our mother - cricket - is dying. And you all are absolute juvenile nincompoops to be fighting like this.

Sensible post ... OP of thread should read your post !

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Whatever legend Gayle is, the fact remains that he is a PSL reject on the bases of his below par performances. Some people are insinuating that LQ picked Ramdin over Gayle because Ramdin is a cheapest buy but what they don’t is that they wanted a WK in their squad because they had non. Gayle is an IPL legend because the conditions in ipl suits him. Saying that KP, Sami and Sangakara are IPL freeloaders is an utter nonsense because then they’d have to ask themselves why someone like Brandon McCullum, who also belongs in the category of the above mentioned players, is still playing in the IPL.

You do know that Qualifiers are in ODI and not in T20, right? You are contradicting yourself left and right. First you say ranking don't matter and only WC matters but then you go on to call WI minnows. WI are the champions, so WC matter or not? make up your mind. WI defeated you in 2 T20s they played against you after the WC, if they are minnows then you must not even deserve to play cricket i guess. We, however, have defeated WI in UAE, Pakistan, and WI. We also won against world XI.

Your excuses are not even sensible anymore.

PSL could not pay Gayle 150+k. They instead went for great Dinesh Ramdin, Denly, couple of other IPL rejects like Sanga, Sami, etc.

Don’t worry McCullam will be commentating next year in IPL but still be the captain of Lahore in PSL and play all the games over your little dynamite Umar Akmal.

Why would anyone pay Chris Gayle anything when his performance was downright mediocre. If you think McCullum will be their captain next year, then you are downright arrogant and delusional.

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Like Luke Ronchi is PSL Legend and IPL discard....

Two Centuries this IPL so far - both by Oldies! While Gayle is 38, Watson is touching 37!

 

[Syed1]

Gayle has played 3 T20 matches against Pakistan where he averages a world-class 4 runs at 85 SR. He has played 5 T20s against India and averages 36 with SR 116. It's no surprise he is smashing it against the trundlers of IPL while he had a torrid time against the best bowlers of the world in the PSL.

Dinesh Ramdin, Denly, other mediocre players played in PSL are better than Chris Gayle?

Who is delusional here? Even with mediocre scores match after match, mccullam played all the games in PSL, but couple of failures, he is benched in IPL.

Players like Watson, Mccullam, etc are main players in PSL. But here they are just pinch hitters to score runs quickly in PP. their teams are not relying heavily on them. They have to perform every game to stay in the 11. Good Watson scored 100 today, otherwise CSK would be thinking about dropping him next game.
