Indian Premier League 2024 (22nd March-29th May)

Bharat under the consensus now McGurk is a lock for the opening spot and I dont think there would be too many who would disagree.

I do wonder how he'll perform on the pitches in the West Indies which won't be as batter friendly as we're seeing here or what we may see in the US.

People had question marks over his ability in India before the start of this tournament. Having watched a fair bit of the CPL, it might take a few games to get the gist ? But definitely the guys that have toured that part of the world before, have an advantage knowing the conditions etc.

I'd love to know how people outside of India feel about this. Two months of home run derbies isn't cricket as far as I'm concerned. I still enjoy watching people like Yuzi Chahal, Ravi Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav bowl but I'm struggling to enjoy this year's IPL

The interesting thing will be to see is if this trend of 250+ scores continues into the Major League Cricket and Hundred later this year. If that's the case, we could be in for a new normal, and competitions will need to to give more to the bowlers to even it up.

You would think in a game like this where the RRR is above 12 an over, Mumbai would have send Tim David up the order. But nup, he is still batting at 7.

Do either of those comps have the impact player rule?

Nah, only the ILT20 has the impact sub outside of the IPL

 

[BStaff17]

Surely something is broken if teams are getting 250+ in a T20 every game.

It just sounds like to me without watching the ball the IPL has turned into Stick Cricket/Cricket 07.

 

[Around the Wicket]

These players are in for a shock come the T20 World Cup, Windies will have some slow pitches where 140 will be a good score, batsmen are going to flop bad going from this to that LMAO.

Pitches are roads, must be what India want, I believe it makes a better tournament when 160-180 is a excellent score.

All they need to do is put some life into the pitch.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Interesting move paying 4.8million for a loose left arm quick if the pitches were going to be this flat LMAO.

6 wickets at 47.83 with economy rate of 11.48

What's gonna stop the Americans creating roads? The has heavy interest from the IPL, and all these Americans would love to see homeruns every ball

West Indies wickets are generally low and slow.

Unless the BCCI have sent there men over early or $$$$ to start doing the wickets like the IPL.
