How the IPL has done worldwide

Interesting little piece there, anyone from any of those countries dispute the summaries given there? Haven't been in Australia during the tournament time but have found it to be mainly expats, young people with too much time on their hands, hardcore cricket fans who'll watch any cricket and gambling addicts who have been keenly following the IPL.
I reckon getting an IPL window in so all the Aussie big timers can play the whole thing would help the ratings but as said in the articles the timings really are not kind from an Australian perspective, at least on the East coast.

Guilty on all counts. The timing of the matches fits in well with my noctural sleeping patterns.

You need a quick lesson on indian geography..

.... this is not abt geography

dig IPL for details and you will find that Jaipur's local catchment areas include teams like Baroda, Gujarat & Saurashtra, along with Rajasthan

and just in case you still didn't get it, we are talking abt teams that take part in Ranji

 

[ret]

to make things more interesting, how abt expanding the local catchment area of some of teams to include teams like Colombo, Dhaka and Lahore?

Dhaka could go with Kolkatta
Colombo may be with Chennai
Lahore may be with Delhi or Mohali

Are they actually going to play cricket?

Carn Rajasthan.

Carn Chennai.. time to win this one.
Looking forward to Warne and murali bowling tonight.

Probably leaning towards Chennai tonight. Would love to see a Badri special to tell the selectors where to shove their Uthappa. But Royals bowling first is a big blow for Chennai, would've backed them chasing tbh.

 

[R_D]

anyone else think Ryan Campbell's the biggest idiot in the world... i wonder why the hell is he still on channel 10.

 

[pasag]

Lol at Fleming.

Don't think that's the last we'll hear about Campbell's 'disgraceful' comment either.

People have been looking at the paper and 'leaning' against the Royals the entire tournament. The game, however, isn't played on paper and the Royals will win the whole thing.

I meant as far as who I'm going to support. No doubt agree the Royals are big favourites for tonight.

 

[Nate]

Wasn't aimed particularly at you.

 

[Nate]

Haha Rudi. Wouldn't give a dying orphan his dinner scraps.

 

[four_or_six]

Think Warney might need to take a bit of responsibility with the ball here tonight.

 

[James90]

Analogy of the night. Well played.

Yusuf and Akmal embrace after the wicket. That's been one awesome thing about this tournament. Been so good to see.

Agreed. Never in my life thought I'd see Warne and Smith all matey

 

[duffer]

Great spell by Yusuf here. Keeping Chennai in check by himself basically.

 

[Nate]

Warne bowling way too straight. Bowled all of 2 balls outside off.

EDIT: Tanvir's overs being saved for the death. Very interesting move.
