Whatever it takes!!!


BRohit with the truth bombs.

If they remove the impact sub and simply allow injury subs, and go back to 1 bouncer per over, this would be so much better as almost every other innovation seems to have been good.

The impact sub was added so teams had specialist bats facing as many balls as possible and on paper had all 20 overs covered by specialist bowlers and not junk part timers. There's obviously arguments around all-rounder development, but purely from a cricket quality/entertainment perspective I don't see the issue.

Its just an idea of now getting used to 12 players than 11 and while quality is one aspect, balance is another one and cricket has always made it important for teams to find a balance, esp. in LO cricket.

You've got rabada, arshdeep AND curran but you decide to give Livingstone the first over? Are punjab on crack?

Everyone knows how good sky is, but my god his t20 numbers look like some video game cricket stuff. Last 2 years he has 1700 runs vs pace at an average of 40 while going at 2 runs a ball, and 900 runs averaging 57 @145 vs spin. He's not getting out vs spin while going at 9 an over in the middle, doesn't get out in the PP and averages the same number, and averages 43 in the death overs while SCORING AT 2.5 runs a ball. It's absurd.

That rohit ball is exactly why harshal is so good at his best. Get's so much dip on that slower ball yorker. It's unplayable when he get's it right.

Shocking! Professional cricketers don't like IPL's "innovations" that will revolutionize cricket.
