This CSK lineup is.... Weird, lol. Even with subs only playing 3 specialist bowlers at this point. Dhoni playing as a specialist captain/Wicketkeeper is fun atleast.

GT bowking looks stacked, but the batting looks a bit thin without Miller. Can't expect tewaitia and Rashid to repeat their last season heroics.

So this monstrosity gets underway today. As the games start at 3pm in the UK, I will always stick it on in the background (it is live cricket after all) and hope to see the English players do well (Stokes and Moeen up today).

I presume there is very little interest in Aus/NZ given the general times of matches.

Same here.

It's obviously a massive deal for Indian cricket fans and there's no doubting the quality of the games.

But it's hard to get too involved when you don't have an attachment to any team.

Looking forward to seeing Harry Brook and the other English lads.

They actually have rather strict rules on it this time. Apart from the impact player nonsense, every other new rule they have brought in are good ones IMO.

Rayudu is bound to be replaced by Deshpande/any bowler who can bowl every match

also can Swann stop sucking off Tewatia in every ****ing game? it’s nauseating

With the new impact player rule, is there any reason why teams won't always bowl first when winning the toss and then give themselves an extra batsman for the chase?

The old sub rule which quickly died a death in ODI's went for that exact reason.

Gaikwad is mostly just scoring in sixes at the moment. Everything else is like a dot ball with the rare single thrown in.

This rule is fairer than that coz that one, you had to assume about the toss and its result etc. Here, it is basicaly 12 V 12.
