*Official* IPL 2019

[h_hurricane]

Franchisees betting on the likes of Rahane, Unadkat, Umesh, Siraj, Khaleel to deliver should be prepared for a disastrous campaign.

Unadkat gets more than Rs 100K for every run he concedes. lol

Ah! So Steven Smith was benched for the last game. Rahane ought to be the next one to be benched. Too little too late, I suppose.

Smith and Stokes being left out had to happen. You can't keep playing underperforming overseas players just because they are big names.

This Warner has turned out to be mentally far stronger than I had imagined him to be,
In the dog-eat-dog world of IPL, he would have been subject to an avalanche of sand paper cheat sledges.

He would have been in South Africa or England. Don't think Indian fans cared much about the incident.

Indian fans care very much about it if facebook comments are anything to go by

If you go by online comments, Indians care about everything. We are just too many. Only other country with as many people and internet users doesn't speak English much.

Most people probably don't think ball-tampering is all that big a crime. But they'll happily use it to win Internet arguments against Australian fans.

If I had a dollar for everytime an Indian on facebook commented #sandpapersmith, I'd be richer than him

 

[duffer]

Good start in the field for Hyderabad. They seem up for this.

 

[Andy1993]

CSK 99-4 with 6 overs to go

Richer than Smith? Or the Indian?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Another stellar bowling performance from Rashid Khan.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

can we all just take a moment to appreciate how great a name Arshdeep is

 

[Borges]

With Hyderabad winning again, is poor Billy Stanlake going to be benched for ever?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

can we all just take a moment to appreciate how great a name Arshdeep is

I almost pronounce it as ***deep

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This IPL needs a Pravin Tambe.

Or some hack who has retired from International cricket at least 10 years ago.

 

[Borges]

Chennai Geriatric Kings: Watson, Dhoni, Bravo, Raina. Some panting like dogs, temporarily incapacitated after each sharp single.
Should have retired years ago. Would have retired years ago if the umpires were not so kind to the aged and the infirm.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

C'mon Kagiso. Knock over the Kock!

The closest things to Pravin Tambe
