Indian Cricket Dhaba

I hope for India;'s sake MI have a great start to IPL and can rest Bumrah after their first 8 games or something.

If we rest both Rohit and Kohli, we could get a sneak peek into the future:

Mayank
Shaw
Gill
Iyer
Rahul
Surya
Jadeja
Bhuvi
Saini
Bumrah
Chahal

Bumrah's already been on the sidelines for months. Imo the best thing for him is to play cricket regardless of format and get games under his belt. Sitting out a whole two months playing no cricket simply so you can say he's resting doesn't seem smart at this stage.

Yep. I am just worried though that he would pick up some injury and miss the test series. Wouldn't have bothered if the tests happened earlier in the tour as there are no other important series in the near future.

Talking in this spirit:


Shaw
Gill
Manish
Shreyas (vc)
Rahul (c) (wk)
Surya
Jadeja
Gopal
Saini
Umesh
Avesh (?)

Good news for all IPL lovers. IPL would now be 1 week longer due to no double-headers on Saturday.

 

[honestbharani]

Lol.. its nice that you can basically watch every game but the weekends would suck more. I like having 8 hours of cricket starting 3 PM every weekend.

FFS how do they manage to find a way to make it last even longer

Why not have two groups of four each and finish the whole thing within a month?

This is ridiculous.

2 weeks tops. That's how long t20 world cup lasts.

 

[h_hurricane]

Remembering one of those years when there were 94 or something similar IPL matches played. lol..

 

[honestbharani]

I liked it more when we had like 10 games a week. Double headers on 3 days - Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. This way you can finish the league in about 6 weeks. Or max 7.

****ing hell the IPL runs from 29th March to 17th May, and that's just the 56 group stage games? I assume there is a KO phase after that?

Jeezus. If we can't win the WT20 after all that prep...

How many HK players take part in IPL though ?

 

[cnerd123]

jokes on you, because HK didn't qualify for the WT20



Not much BD representation this IPL either. Just 6 players. Sad.

This is what Shardul Thakur says to himself every time he leaks runs.

"It's okay to go for runs. Not every time will you end up bowling extraordinarily"

Focusing on execution rather than outcome - Thakur

PEWS might have been right about Pant. Thinking about 2nd innings declaration runs to sway the decision is a bit far-fetched though.
