The IPL is a rich league, but that it was THIS rich blew me away

[Markkkkk]

Funny. The majority of those are from years ago and the majority are teams batting second chasing a huge total or it's Delhi and I would expect top class bowlers to bowl out mediocre domestic batsmen. Did you check the situations? Also the lowest total is in SA...

 

[grkrama]

he pitches in India for the IPL are lifeless. The pitches in ANY FRICKEN T20 COMPETITION is lifeless.

lifeless because MARKKKKKKKKKKK says so, you conveniently missed spin friendly, double paced pitches etc i guess the only type of bowling people outside SC know and like is a fast bowler Grunting and hurling, no place for the calm wise guy spinners , that can outwit batsman.

Thats why people score at 8 runs an over without a problem

Its a t20 even bowlers will hit it out. all it takes is one bad ball or an edge to boundary to spoil 5 good deliveries.Plus when you have gayle ABD,m kohli as top three in a team thats bound to hapen anywhere unless we produce minefields which is also not sporting.

And everyone talking about great the IPL is its because of... The BCCI.

Indian cricket has all the money and all the fans.

If South Africa had the same amount of money as the BCCI they could make a league just as 'competitive' and 'great' as the IPL

mmmmm So.....

India has 1.2 billion people and nearly everyone only knows about cricket so thats why its so great because there isnt anything else to do. If Indians were raised with football, then you can garuntee the soccer matches would have huge crowds.

yes we were raised with cricket, but other sports are slowly spreading. But nothing will beat cricket i suppose.


get your bums to those T20 leagues you have and support your team, if CPL and BBL can be successful there is no reason SA's cant be if people support it.

As far as I know, nobody gives a crap about the IPL outside of India,

yet various other broadcasters in various countries telecast them, cant see them do it without viewership.

they infected their own competiiton with flipping CEAT Tyres DLF Pepsi Coke Mcdonalds *advertise here* Timeouts which are just adbreaks for some more money

thats money that pays the whole setup to run successfully and lot of that goes to grass root levels of staff. if that takes 2.30 mins extra of Ads i would say its more than worth it.

For all India has done from cutting tours short cause of 'Haroon Lorgat' and sucking all the money out of cricket and giving the Associates 0 chance of competing against test teams the very least they owe us is a big wage for our cricketers

we did bring in a lot of money to ICC, hard earned money form the public of a developing nation, Big three happened because Lorgat( he is an indian too) in his effing EGO said BCCI cant have broadcast rights to resell for WC 2011. Basically he cut the golden goose. blame him.

we are just taking out what we bring in that's how business operate. Often thats spent in developing the 28 state boards here of which quite a few are under developed..

Dont forget the speed gun is broken, Rajit Bhatia bowling 135? Forget it. Yadav quicker then Johnson? Cringeworthy

now we are entering petty conspiracy theories. difference is for bhatia this is the only TV air time he will get so im sure he is puffing it up, were as Johnson is saving up and is cruising in 2nd gear for ASHES thats around the corner.

have put in 10+ bowlers who just jog up and bowl so slow any former Test player would laugh

yet any of them woudl struggle to smack those backhand stuff in death overs of a T20

Gayleforce(Overated gymnist) and McCullum to score tons of runs.

Both have triples in test both have reputation fo being more than t20 sloggers. Any attack anywhere will be gald to see their backs..[HASHTAG]#somerespectplease[/HASHTAG] .

Funny. The majority of those are from years ago and the majority are teams

4 this season between 80-110, thats like one out of ten matches which is pretty decent considering these are very low totals and we havnt taken the sporting 120-140 into account which will increase the number a lot more. yes SA has the lowest but followed by mum kochi uae etc spinning surface.

 

[grkrama]

the majority are teams batting second chasing a huge total or it's Delhi

22 first innings of 50 odd pretty decent i suppose agins we are talkign of very low score we arent even considering 120s .

plus seven times out of 50+ is not bad for DD.plus its mostly saffers in delhi team

Btw what became of the 'various 7', author of the thread?

Wrong stereotype applied here since Pakistan have over the years produced some of the best fast bowlers ever seen, reverse swing was invented by the Pakis. Apparently India = Sub continent now!

Yeah in any case for test cricket India have produced roads to bat on in the 12 years or so!

Lets face it Gayle has let down WI from time to time and he dont deserve much credit with the advent of the IPL he has repeatedly turned down central contracts the guy has no sense of patriotism and seems like a bully in every aspect can we really mention him with names like Greenidge/Haynes/Constantine/Walcott? No we cant!

What gets me so aggravated is to see the poor people in India cramming into those stadiums to see cricket and is from these poor ones the BCCI is making all this money, you say India is a developing country but at what costs? Now I am no economics student but from the info gathered it seems the middle class is basically non existent in India, poor and rich, for heaven's sake there are suburban villages without a constant supply of domestic water or standard facilities!

I am in the process of putting togehter a thread to discuss what benefitsd the Associates have gained since the Big 3 takeover lead by the evil BCCI? Can you even answer what the Pak/SL/Wi/nz FINANCES ARE, close to bankruptcy!

you are out of context go back up the page and read to what it was replied.

Yeah in any case for test cricket India have produced roads to bat on in the 12 years or so!

Again irrelevant to the discussion, still you have to be blind to think roads were produced for india test..like i said any thing thats not green should be called Road right.

Lets face it Gayle has let down WI from time to time and he dont deserve much credit with the advent of the IPL he has repeatedly turned down central contracts the guy has no sense of patriotism and seems like a bully in every aspect can we really mention him with names like Greenidge/Haynes/Constantine/Walcott? No we cant!

Again irrelevant to the discussion....whtever your perception of gayle's personality is he is a solid test player and certainly not a t20 slogger. With a different WICB he may have been one.

AS much as i like your concern for India i said ' Developing' not impoverished / terror stricken country. Middle class is the majority of india as big as india is with its population there is boiund to be places were resource management has to be crucial doesn't mean we are not getting there. We are developing pretty fast.

Can you even answer what the Pak/SL/Wi/nz FINANCES ARE, close to bankruptcy!

Oh really NZ are in a good place...PK SL WI if they cant get their stuff together Bcci cant be responsible. FFS SL plays almost every one every where dont say to me its a problem of not getting matches.

Bcci is one of the major players of ICC not babysitter for every other board.

The ipl has really blinded you into thinking Gayle is an established test player, compare him to other openers of the era and see how poor his stats are, forget stats have you ever seen him play a pivotal role in a WI victory in a test?

I wont reply to the other stuff a we have gone way of topic but will send you some mails with regards to the poverty across India and as I said before I am in the process of making thread to discuss the big 3 takeover and how it affects the financial stability of the other boards so we will deal with that there. Just a quick word this board has developed amazingly since I returned and there are many members brave enough to go out there and stand up for what is right posting facts, using data to support their claims so if you get past me with the B.S. stuff someone else will take you up. Cheers buddy will continue over mails.

About sums it up. Its also the reply to most BCCI related complains I find on this board. BCCI makes money, BCCI is too rich, BCCI this and BCCI that ... yeah so if the other boards keep messing up, what is the BCCI to do about it?

 

[grkrama]

The ipl has really blinded you into thinking Gayle is an established test player,

100 test matches 42 average 15 centuries with a triple, that too in an decling WI era says he is a good bat and definitely not a t20 slogger which was what the argument was about before you butted in unceremoniously with your preconceived notions, nobody said gayle was lara.

I wont reply to the other stuff a we have gone way of topic but will send you some mails with regards to the poverty across India

pls dont u will be wasting our time.

untouchable avenger i beg to differ politely you are the one making all BS without context and without facts, i on the other hand have specified facts and stats to back my points.

Also most of us are having a friendly discussion passing about opinions, discussions. none of the taking you up BS as you seem to assume.

I never said he was a T20 slogger but in the same note he is not a great test player as you are making him out to be..........again I ask the question can you list even one test match he does well in winning for the team? I do get he is good in the context of the poor WI team over the years but test cricket in general he is a failure and cannot/should not be used to say that he is not a T2o specialist only!

For information Chris Gayle has two triple centuries and since you hold a triple in such high esteem Virender Sehwag of India also has two international test triples while the god of cricket Sachin has zero test centuries to his name, his highest is under 250.

 

[shravi]

you are clearly baiting people here, and they are stupid enough to fall for it. but, if you're going to troll, at least try to make some sense.

 

[grkrama]

do you have comprehension trouble ? good is not equal to great in any dictionary.

they are stupid enough to fall for i

nah just seeing if i can get him banned if i keep it up with facts he is bound to loose it and resort to name calling.

I humbly apologise if my posts came across as trolling I didn't meant for that. Have had my differences with others on this forum in the past including shravi but have had a certain amount of respect for you grkrama and I sincerely did not mean to upset you.
