*Official* IPL 2019

[Borges]

Chennai persisting with Watson and Mumbai with Pollard. Both have had one very good game each, and a lot of mediocre performances otherwise.

 

[Borges]

These horrible Chennai guys have prepared a rank turner for this game: even Jayant Yadav is getting sharp turn.

 

[duffer]

People at work calling this 'El Classico.'

Dear god....

 

[Borges]

Ah! So today we have the real 'El Classico', the one in which the King is paying.
C'mon King Kane! The cognoscenti already know it; but use this opportunity to show the plebeians that the King is greater than the Brat, the Choker and the Cheat.

 

[Borges]

Guptill is making up for list time; dealing in sixes. Both varieties; mishits and clean hits.

 

[duffer]

I know I say this every time there is a match in Vizag but yeah, what a badass city. Wish I was there now.

 

[Victor Ian]

Yay - on computer so I can get to last page. What happened to Warner? Sunrisers were OK, then he stopped playing? Is he injured?

 

[Borges]

Warner and Bairstow bossed it while they were there and then went away to join their World Cup sides.
Warner 692 runs @144 from 12 games, Bairstow 445 runs @157 from 10 games.

 

[Borges]

This women's IPL is the real deal.

Better team names: Supernovas vs. Velocity
Better player names: Tahuhu, Devine, Zanzad
And no Aussie cheats.

He's with the Australian training camp. Played against the NZ XI.

Munro can be a very beater on his day

 

[slippy888]

A must win game for the champs this

 

[Borges]

Colin Munro! He will be instrumental, along with King Kane, in bringing the World Cup to New Zealand.

Is this still going? Makes the Big Bash look succinct.

 

[Borges]

Is this still going?

No, it was over long ago. But people are still experiencing it vicariously.

That's why it is the best league in the world.

Makes the Big Bash look succinct.

Nothing can make the Big Bash look succinct.

 

[Daemon]

Been far more entertaining than the BBL it must be said

 

[Heboric]

Nah , the strategic timeouts spoil everything. Plus the screaming of the commentators are off putting (although BBL and The Ashes are gulty of the same thing). You would swear you are watching WWE

Is this still going? Makes the Big Bash look succinct.

This is the most succinct IPL ever thanks to world cup.

 

[Borges]

The basic idea of IPL is to bring in the moolah. Let it be as long as it wants to be, with as many advertising time outs as the audience can stand.
Whatever, as long as it maximises the money it provides for Indian cricket, and remunerations for cricket players of all nationalities.

Yeah, it's actually been really good this edition.

Amped for tonight, let's do this thang CSK.
