Posters need to stop bothering Oxy in regards to his opinion on the IPL. If he doesn't want to watch it then he doesn't.
Oxy .. you need to stop with the "bollywood tamasha" stuff. It was fine the first time but its kind of redundant if you use it in every post. Just saying.

Oxy said:Then we have a busy month ahead of us comrade.
RexRex said:You'll all come around some day.These are birth pangs.
Oxy said:Who are you to tell me what I should think of it???
I've only just started - get ready for another month of this.
Just saying...
kingusama92 said:I can't really stop you from posting your views obviously. I was just stating my opinion on these ridiculous arguments between you and the other posters.
Oxy said:You are obviously a Bollywood fan - we've tussled in Timepass over this in the past. And thats your right.
You are correct - You can't stop me from posting my views.
Lets keep it that way!
There is nothing to rate.Just a one dimensional player.kingusama92 said:Good for him that he smashed them to pieces cause you can only bat against what's bowled to you. Just don't expect me to get excited about it.![]()
$urely that would be again$t the '$pirit' of IPL?RexRex said:Have they got rid of the 'DLF maximums' and 'Citi moments of success' ? Don't recall hearing any of those in the games so far.

Poison said:I just watched the actual innings and it really wasn't all that flash. I mean he does deserve credit for a really quick hundred, but he was useless against Malinga and Zaheer, I dont think he hit a single boundary off those two. And three or four of his sixes just landed beyond the boundary rope, or on one occasion, were caught by a fielder who accidently stepped on the boundary rope. So if he was on any other ground he would've been out about 6 times.
Ravi Shastri really is something though, he was commentating as if Yusuf's hits were the biggest hits he'd ever seen. Yusuf is more muscle, he will never compare to someone like Yuvraj for six hitting distance.
Garuda said:I thought Nazir's innings in ICL was great and it was appreciated like the best innings ever watched.
Anyway, I have not wached a single ball of Yusuf's innings, but 37 ball ton against any bowler is worth appreciation. Its even hard to do that in school cricket field.
Well done Yusuf. But you are still far from being considered as a batsman according to me![]()
kingusama92 said:Nazir's knock was good... Yusuf's knock was good. That's about it.
Smashing rubbish bowlers around is nothing to boast about. Credit to him for destroying the bowlers he faced but not too much should be made out of it. We all saw how Nazir's coped after coming back to real cricket.

Well said!!!!Afridi_Fan said:made the record against Sri Lanka who were World Champions at that time. Murali was at his prime, Dharmasena, Sanath with those flat trajectory balls, Chaminda Vaas also in his prime. So, you simply can not compare these two innings.
As far as scoring quick is concerned I believe Taufeeq Umer blasted Indian bowlers to all parts of the ground in a practise game when Inida toured pakistan, but do we rate him as an aggressive batsman? Salman Butt has scored some very quick fire innings in domestic circuit, and if you are a regular poster you must know what most of the PP posters think about his inclusion in T20 squad.
Pathan played beautifully but to compare this innings with that of Afridi is a total disgrace as far as I am concerned. I believe he did the same thing in IPL 1st edition, but he couldn't break into Indian side in the T20 WC until the final when Sehwag got injured.
There is a big difference between domestic/IPL cricket and International Cricket, my friend. Hope you understand.
