Yeah, I guess websites that run on a for-profit basis need to cough up.

I'm no lawyer but pretty sure none of that would stand up in court other than the obvious stuff like no streaming etc.

Hate how this **** is literally shoved down our throats. Going to have to watch it just because there isn't any other cricket going on.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Fitting way to start this farce of a tournament. ****s can't even get a simple thing like the toss right

 

[Dan]

Why am I watching this?? I think I've gone insane or something.

 

[Howsie]

Hmmmmm, thought Anderson was suppose to be out for another two or so weeks.

 

[Dan]

I don't understand - why does the strategic time-out exist? They got a drink and they didn't force any ads in; I don't see the point.

 

[Jono]

Pollard and Anderson in the same team, holy ****

 

[King Pietersen]

They're still persisting with that ****? Not watched the IPL for years. They still persisting with calling sixes DLF Maximums as well?

Don't know but Shastri still screams some variation of "Let's get ready to PAAAARRRRRRTTTIIIIIEEEEE, *enter name of city*

 

[Daemon]

Haha they didn't play Santokie. Gun.

 

[Shri]

This was the reason why I was hyping up Suryakumar Yadav last year.

Doesn't hit a lot of sixes but is still aggressive and hits 4s in a flurry when he wants to.

 

[Daemon]

I like Gavaskar as president. Nice honest interview there.

 

[Shri]

PR guy. Like the new pope. Lot of words without any real change.

 

[Shri]

Mumbai batting line up looks empty without Tendulkar's name in there. Sharma, Hussey, Anderson and Pollard the only big names. And only 2 of them are consistent. Weaker XI compared to last year.

 

[Shri]

And why the **** would you have Morne Morkel in a T20 side? Digs it in and it will get up to chest height at best in India later in the tournament and he will be fodder for the batsmen really.

 

[Jarquis]

Weaker despite Sachin and Ponting scoring about half a run between them last year?

Morkel's an absolute gun on his day in T20 too.

 

[Shri]

You can't write off legends against Indian club level pie chuckers in small grounds. Sachin didn't look out of it last time, he just...kept getting out. Morkel will fail more often than not in Indian pitches. Not a test match for him to take his time to sort his line and length out, he will get smashed really bad if he isn't in a purple patch.

 

[Jarquis]

Morkel's been in the IPL since forever and takes his wickets at ~19s and goes for ~7.5rpo. That's absolutely fine.

Looks like I was wrong. Didn't know his stats were that good. But he has done nothing that stands out in my memory so far. Probably a great support bowler but nothing much other than that.
