Noe exactly raining maximums so far in the series.

One match yesterday was 126 v 104.

The IPL will eat itself.

It could be so much better if the IPL and Champs Trophy were merged into one tournament.

Together with the BB, SPL, BPL, VPL.....

I think the worst thing in the whole of IPL if not life in general is the sight of Nita Ambani's fat shit of a son jiggling on his Mumbai Indians setee like a beached whale whilst seemingly scratching his balls

Just getting a feel of the moneyballs.

by Gary 111 Sun 07 Apr 2013, 11:28

The Puny Warriors?

Who opens their batting - James Taylor and Tich Freeman?

Oh - and bloody hell, Eric Gilchurch is still playing. When they said on the intro Gilchrist and Lehmann I thought Boof was still playing too...

Lehmann couldn't commit to playing the full duration of the IPL as he has some racism to do in May

Talking about cricket "leagues" and tournaments, imagine if they were to teach these things

Now children, forget all that we just taught you. Turns out, there IS a sport where something they call a league may last for two weeks, or even ten days. While a mere tournament like a world cup can last for almost two months.

The little ones with a confused look on their face. Miss, you are joking, right? Sad

They should book him under some obscenity law, it's that traumatic to watching him.

Meanwhile in the KKR vs Rajasthan Royals game at Jaipur, they've sprayed the outfield with some gas for the billions of moths out there. For a few minutes the outfield was looking like a World War 1 battle set.

Based on the evidence of 6 balls, this Rahul Shukla fella looks like he has a bit of extra zing in him. But then again he's been playing since 2009 - 11 FC games at a bowling average of 40 plus.

by tricycle Mon 08 Apr 2013, 17:59

And there I switch to it after that to see Shukla for the first time and see Kevon Cooper's rather dodgy action and Siddarth Trivedi looking like a proper rapist.

I saw Tait for the first time in a while. Yes, he still chucks.

by PlanetPakistan Tue 09 Apr 2013, 06:06

How fast did Tait bowl?

by furriner Tue 09 Apr 2013, 06:57

FAAAAAST. Close to 150kmph.

Is he still shit?

Yes, that's a rhetorical question.

Are the number of As any indication of speed? Like the base point is 135 kph (anything under is obviously considered SLOW) and each A is worth 5 kph?

by furriner Tue 09 Apr 2013, 16:08

David Stern of the NBA is in the audience and being interviewed.

The As are just PlanetPakistan coming as he sees a FAAAAAST bowler.

I note that Stern looks and talks like a sweet old uncle, that bumbler whom you could always condescend to even as a child. Whereas, given that he's David Stern, he is likely planning to carve out your liver and serve it to his pet crocodile.

I.P.L. ... you baaaaad, BAAAAAAAD thing.

Meanwhile, here some news that will get your hearts a flutter:

David Collier, the ECB chief executive, has urged the BCCI to reschedule future IPL seasons to dovetail more successfully with the England first-class season in response to pressure from England players who are clamouring to participate in the event.

No, no ... I.P.L. is baaaad, BAAAAAAAD, because every time it comes back and it's played so FAAAAAAAAST, PP has to go and buy a new pair of jodhpurs.
