*Official* IPL 2023

[Brook's side]

Absolutely brilliant knock Tilak.

So much talent in India.

Great comeback. Game on.

I rate green really highly but don't really like Mumbai spending the money they did on him. Feels like they just plopped him at 3 today and told him to wack it and threw him the ball in the 8th over and asked him to bounce ***** with no real thinking behind it.

Is Faf the most underrated IPL player going around atm. Swear even his worst seasons having him making a few big scores and averaging 30@130.

CSK always valued him. It was just the mega auction and RCB"s insistence to get a new captain that saw him parting ways.

Selection issues.

Difference between the sides was the PP today and I don't even think Mumbai batted that poorly to end up 30/3 by the end. Green and Kishan both looked in great touch and played some wonderful shots but got out trying to keep the scoring rate up. Rohit was really stratchy but think RCB just bowled good areas upfront and forced the wickets through frustration. The green wicket ball was decent from Tooley early up, full and swinging back in from the left armer, but if green blocks that instead of trying to hit it into next year he's probably fine.

Edit: Also, have to credit RCB's fielding in that PP. They dropped Rohit on 1 but outside of that was spectacular. Easily saved 10 runs just by cutting off boundaries in the ring or keeping them to 1's off well timed shots to the boundary.

huh??

its literally free on jiocinema and hotstar doesn’t even have rights to show it in first place

Hotstar not have rights? Are you located in india? How you know all this?

 

[CricAddict]

@G. S. Kohli there is a thread for ipl already. We need not create a new one.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Kohli recharge his battery's with 82 not out put on 148 with Duplisis (73)

Rohit Blame for his bowlers in press Conference after the game also mention " we are help less with out Bumrah "

hotstar doesn’t do live streaming like you claimed

bit rich of you to try to be sarcastic with a history of spreading misinformation

Yeah, nothing to do with his 1 from 10 deliveries and the fact they were 20-3 after 5.2 overs.

Opening round of fixtures - RR look strong and I like the balance of the LSG. Think it could be another long season for CSK and SRH.

Other than Warner's somewhat laboured 50, not the best opening round of matches for the Aussie contingent. Got a feeling Mayers could be an excellent selection for LSG.

Using the word leak in that context is really off-putting FYI. Has the opposite connotation.

England generally only use him to bowl in T20's when there's a left hander on strike. CSK seem like a bunch of injury prone veterans, must have the busiest physio in the tournament. If Stokes can't bowl, I'm really not sure I'd play him as a specialist batsman in T20 these days.
