Whatever it takes!!!
I mean if you're worrying constantly about the worst case scenarios, then is that really being realistic?
I mean if you expect a batting line up struggling to score at 108 on the day to suddenly spring out and score at 180 and call it realism, there is not much else to say.

Having an aim to score quicker is hardly unrealistic though. Or reading the match situation better and taking initiative like Nitish and Samad today to bail out the team when people were struggling. I shouldn't be mocked for expecting more from RCB's batting really.

Don't sit here and suddenly act like that's been your overarching theme and not the 't20 in video game cricket" style posts

It's not video game cricket to score quickly in T20s without letting up the run rate. We just saw Samad do it rather well. This is like saying Cummins bowling top of offstump in Tests is a video game.

If SRH had batted conservatively they'd have only got 160, instead they went for it and earned themselves a win.

It is also due to having Depth which is vital as it allows everyone to go for it.

I've watched a bit of IPL on Star Sports over the last couple of weeks.

My main conclusion is that there is no depth to which a cricketer will stoop in order to appear in some tacky TV Commercial....and boy there are a lot of them.

I did look at trying to get a ticket to the game in Chennai on Monday night. But it was nigh on impossible to buy one, and having seen what the traffic was like just trying to get from the airport to a nearby hotel, god knows how long it would've taken to get to the stadium (and then fortunately the match was crap anyway).

Yeah Monday was especially bad as Tuesday was new years for 3 of the neighboring states and Maharashtra, so people may have been on the move to go back to their homes. And tomorrow is Eid. You were here right at the busiest festival week over the last couple of months, lol.
