This game is dead boooooooooooooooring

making me fall asleep again :sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep:
If you find these games so boring then why do you keep watching them? If I find something this boring then I don't feel the need to waste my time on it.

I expect he goes into each IPL game with a lot of love, affection and high expectations but is disappointed each time.

I empathize but he does need to get a bit more cynical. Personally, I find the IPL boring and too low stakes so I don't really watch any games until it gets to the business end - semis and finals.
 
Blue because of India's jersey colour.

Red because a lot of state teams in India use red in domestic competitions.
I suspect a lot of teams would change things if they had a chance. Many of the names, colours etc. are very cringey and reflect the amateurishness of the time when the league started up.

The newer leagues like Kabaddi leagues seem a lot more thought out. Names like Puneri Paltan, Dabang Delhi etc. are more creative and local...not that all those teams are perfect either but it's better than being named after a random Whisky brand.
 
Well well after that blistering start 4 almost back to back wickets lol game changing phase
 
& then KIWIS chased it down in how many overs ? Telling you -crowd par dhyaan dou `
His point was you have to bat well and hit well. It takes skill to do that, doesn’t mean only SRH has that. I know there are a lot of factors, but it’s not easy to just hit always and get away with it.

Yes. We never had High risk-High reward approach before. WHenever that approach comes off we start whining like old uncles about pitch, boundaries.
 
Achcha jao tum fir ladkey dekho ...
ghatiya pitch - 25/0 in 1
Come again :) We have to stop reacting to scoreboard every time it is high. Batsmen take high risks We never took risks like this in 2010, 2000. We never had skill to take risks before. Now we take. Sometimes it comes off. sometimes it doesn't.
 
Afghan bowlers NZ bowlers Henry Boult If they were playing PSL they would become average to Indians but in IPL they are world class.

Looks like I have mentally scarred you by just stating facts about PSL being an inferior product.

You have been seething nonstop ever since. :yk
 
A 15 year old boy stunned the courtroom today after refusing to live with his family claiming his parents, aunt and grandparents had all beaten him

With no relatives left, the judge asked who he wanted custody from?

The boy calmly replied: "CSK, my lord, They can’t beat anyone"

Nice joke... CSK is so bad that people have been making fun of them now??

Well the IPL teams and socially the older ones have passionate fan base and they pull each other legs. The banter is good in stadium sometimes. This probably is a Delhi fan mocking Chennai as they lost the first 2 of their games

i didnt watch the whole game, reason why i come back to each game, is that im not biased, i do try and engage and get excited but this yr ipl is really poor imo,

its mainly due to the lack of contest between bat and ball - i do prefer better pitches - these pitches are soooo flat , lack of bounce and even the boundaries are far too short - most seem around within 65metre - which my secondary (high) school had bigger boundaries, commentators are really boring - just repeat the same words with the fake voice tone

fans seems really fake - i would even say majority of fans - thr to do some cheap business deals - dont care for the game.....

fielding been poor, havent been excited by a indian player yet = seems like the quality has reduced - just sees like even th eplayers are just talking about businesses deals with each other

Just like when kohli used to watch ab devilliers on the striking end doing the better work with a far better strike rate - than kohli - but not getting as much reward than kohli- who scored less with a lower strike rate by a good distance (batting with ab) then kohli winning the man of the match award over (ab) the far better batsman in t20 at that time.

Far tooooo much indian biased this yr
 
@RedwoodOriginal - just like this current game on right now - DC vs MI,

Its as BORING as every other game played in the IPL this yr - sub continant really needs to sort out its pitches - thrs no contest between bat and bow - i dont mind some pitches being slower (allows spin) - but every pitch is BORING.

Honestly this game has put me to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

:sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep:

Local players in India aren't treated the way they are treated in Pakistan where they straightaway get to play for national side from psl
Focusing on 'business deals' is a convenient coping mechanism for fans of teams that can’t even afford their own kits without a crisis. India’s bench strength literally dominates world cricket while yours treats a single PSL season like a Hall of Fame career. Stay obsessed with our bank accounts,we’ll stay obsessed with the ICC rankings and winning series, trophies (you can't even qualify for next round)and last but not the least stay jealous

thats why you couldnt even name me a player

typical indian - useless poster
 
Typical minnow mentality troll can't be the best judge of talents better you judge the earth shattering local stars of your great league that's your scale
indian, you need to name me those players, its you whos trolling

yet you cant even name me whats been great in this IPL = as its BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING
 
Wow rizvi.what a talent. Csk brought him for 8.5 crores and left him after a lukewarm season.delhi picked him for 85 lakhs and managed him with patience after a lot of inconsistency from him.now the local boy is paying them back with interest. Indian t20 team must be the toughest one right now for anyone to get in.
 
Will love to see abhishek and vaibhav in full flow.opposition will be scarred for ever.
Will be great injustice for Jaiswal. Not sure who gets dropped, but Jaiswal, Vaibhav, Samson, Abhishek all are gun batsmen. They all deserve a spot in the team.
Gill will also eventually get in the team, but not as an opener.

AYush Mhatre is smartly at no.3 . Vaibhav's advantage is he can bowl. Ayush is also a more than a decent bowler.

India has great replacements for the r aging T20 line up when it comes to top and middle order. I don’t see any allrounder who can replace Pandya in the next 2 yrs.

I dont think Gill deserves a spot in t20s.only one player who is good in first gear and can go in 5th gear is required. Gill will eat a lot and put others on edge.t20 team regressed with him. Abhishek will be first opener and rest of samson/ishan/vaibhav will fit at 2 to 4 places.Selection committee have asked jaiswal to concentrate on long formats only.so he will not be in consideration for t20.

That is stupid to ask Jaiswal to concentrate only on longer formats. He is an all format player.

One logical issue is that abhishek is the first choice opener as per strike rate.team needs a wk opener as we don't have any good middle order wk.Even though jaiswal is more adaptable he needs lots of other uncontrollable factors to help him.

That is why pant is trying to prove himself as opener.
