Haha yeah pretty much. I mean he could be in theory but there's no more evidence for this than there is for Joe Burns doping.

I think the gripe stems from the idea that he's still actually benefiting from the doping he engaged in months/years ago. I don't know enough about how those things work to really have an opinion on that either way, but I suspect not many of the people carrying on about it do either.
I think there are a lot of people still salty about him playing the world t20 and knocking India out. IIRC th doping allegations came right before the tournament and h still played.

I don't think any one has thought so much. It is a joke which has carried on as if he is perpetually on drugs which we don't know. His strength and a bit of bulking up adds to the myth or fact, as the case maybe.

I genuinely think that it would have hurt him just as much as helped him, possibly even significantly contributed to his injury troubles. Wouldn't surprise me though if he was mainly doing it for aesthetic reasons rather than sport-related. He just seems like he might be that kind of guy, and I don't mean that in a bad way.

In all seriousness I think you could make a good argument that he should have got a longer ban for cheating in that fashion. I'd probably agree. But I think the idea that he's actually somehow still cheating now is a bit silly.

Is anyone even saying he's still cheating though

I think I was the only one who made a couple of jokey comments on it

Didn't he just miss a test or 2? It's not like he tested positive for anything

Yeah calling him a doper doesn't mean he's still doping. Amir's a filthy fixer but that hardly means he's still fixing games, although that's obviously not impossible.

Watching IPL is one of the things I am searching for last few weeks as I m in Laos and no channel is offering the live coverage. Thanks to an Edwin who guided me well with a simple article. I feel it's my responsibility to share the same with you guys.

You do realise there was a lot of dew, don't you? Only spinner who could bowl later on was Narine and he did give Narine a bowl.
That has nothing to do with not bowling out Curran, rather than having VK bowl his 20th over tripe. It was 18-19-20: Russel - Curran - VK. He should have bowled Curran first, to at least have a choice for the 20th.

Yes, overall DK's captaincy sucked. If bowling Kuldeep in the end overs was an issue he could have been given 4 overs 7-13. VK must be binned for good now.

Cricinfo video asking 'Why did Vinay Kumar bowl the last over'. Shouldn't that be 'Why did Vinay Kumar get selected at all'?

Hmm.. Rajastan Royals vs Delhi Daredevils, I see. They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel now,

And what's happened to this slippy888? Has some type 2 moderator gone and banned him again?
