Indian Premier League - General Discussion

A complete fluke bowling performance by CSK!

Haha, very true.

I like this by MS. He is challenging himself, Jadeja and Bravo to get maximum runs later in the game. They know they are assured of the top 2 finisb so this is good.

Hate to break it, but I don't believe in sending night watchman. And sending Chahar after Bhaji's wicket is absolutely stupid. It will put more pressure on the remaining Batsman.

They are not yet assured. They need to cross 77, to be assured of a Top 2. If a brace of wickets fall here, that is still tight.

That is what they want. How the finishers finish when under pressure.[DOUBLEPOST=1526837883][/DOUBLEPOST]

You are a mountain of negativity surely!

I was not negative before this game and backed CSK to do this. But see where they are right now? And the way our batters are being shielded here on this pitch, you really think I should be having that confidence? I am still cautiously optimistic here that CSK can win this.

CSK has never been much about 'sense' this season. But they have somehow been able to find that push to be where they are.

Are CSK purposefully trying to lose the match? Doesn't make any sense for Bhajji to come out and not play like a pinch hitter, and Chahar is coming out with 90 off 50 needed. This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. No risks are taken either while maintaining a slow run rate.

You seriously feel they are being shielded and not held back for them to have a go in the end and test their finishing ability?

They are playing for 78 first.

Nightwatchman in Test cricket isn't a bad idea. If that man can survive longer, then it can shield the other better batsmen in the side to not getting out right away in the evening.

This is a very odd strategy that CSK are implementing here.

You really think with the mountain of experience they have in finishing games, they need to test their finishing ability?

This doesn't make sense. If they try to win the match, I'm sure they will pass 78 easily. This is so ultra conservative. A flurry of wickets won't fall if you're optimistic with your chances.

I think there is no need to shield a batsman in test cricket too. If a batsman can't survive in tough times that just can mean the batsman is not good enough.

For CSK, they back to chase 16+ runs per over in the last 3-4 overs.... They wont even need that much today

Bye bye Preity! Tough luck Ashwin!!

That's because not many apart from me have talked here during this IPL in this forum. If I am too loud, get earplugs and doze off.
