IPL The Grand Finale Discussion Thread |25 april, 8 PM| DY Patil Stadium

[AkshayS]

yeap, the best of three finals is a very good concept.
I would also love to see it, why can't two more matches.

 

[sami ullah khan]

Agreed. But, don't you feel if we have 'best of three' finals it will be much fair for the better team. In T20 any team can defeat the other team on its day. I feel for Mumbai as they were the better team, rather the best team of the tournament. One loss and it's all ruined for them.

That loss was self inflicted. They have only themselves to blame for the debacle. They did send in Pollard when he was required. They deserved to lose with such incompetent management.

 

[Pranav]

They deserved to lose with such incompetent management.

Rather, I'd say they deserved to win after playing such a fantastic tournament.

Everybody remembers the last act and their last act was a loss.

Everybody remembers the last act and their last act was a loss.

Sir Don Bradman got out on a duck in his last innings. Do we remember him as a pathetic batsman?

Certainly not.

Certainly not.

But one is reflecting on a single tournament and the other about a whole career.

We are talking about this year's tournament. And, without doubt Mumbai was the best team of the tournament. I know they lost their last game, but it doesn't mean they 'deserved' to lose (as posted by Sami_Ullah_Khan)

agreed. They were the best team in the whole tourney, nobody know about their future, but this was their chance, certainly they deserved to be the winners.

Aren't you all guys who are complaining about format were saying the tournament concept is fair in the thread created by Yudi about same reason? What matter is win in finals with huge amount of pressure and not how you perform throughout. If MI was best team they should have won the finals. It's general excuses by every person after his team lost in knockout match after dominating whole season. Thumbs up for CSK for winning the finals by beating the MI in their home ground.

I am more concerned about the way they lost. They were the best team in the tournament but they shot themselves in the foot in the final. That is what i am upset about.

But still they don't deserved to lose. It was an upset.

But still I would say that best of 3 finals is a good concept and should be applied in IPL too.

Could please post that again and this time at least in readable English. I tried hard but failed to understand even a single thing.

That is what I was trying to say in the whole discussion. Don't know why we were arguing earlier!

Look, Chennai is the best team in the IPL. Mumbai may be the best in this IPL (only the group stages), but overall, Chennai has been ahead of its competition. They have reached 3 semi finals and 2 finals in just 3 years. No other team has done that. It's about time that they won.

Yeah, if you consider the IPL as a whole, Chennai would be regarded as the best team and Delhi will probably follow them. But, as far as this year's IPL is concerned, Mumbai deserved to win.

Pranav added 4 Minutes and 32 Seconds later...

Lol. Enough of Mumbai deserved to win or not. The fact remains that Mumbai were terrible in the final, and Chennai outplayed them. I am upset about it, but it's okay.

/end discussion.

I thought that was enough to make you understand .
