Mohali green pitches are fine. Spinning pitches when India plays is fine.. But a track like Hyderabad or Chennai is not? Why? Because it is T20 and not a test match. Mohali was not a green mamba. Mohali is a slow pitch so to make it a bit better they leave grass on it and it becomes better to bat. grass is not always bad, it only help seamers if there is moisture especially in India as pitches are mostly dry underneath and grass does not make a huge difference. speedheat, bahubali, Laaloo and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilander Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 hater 1: Dhoni bats slow - he should be banned from cricket hater 2: Chennai pitch is slow - unlike rest of Indian super phast green tracks. hater 3: CSK games are phixed - csk should be banned. hater 4: Chennai temperature is not conducive to cricket, rest of India is like Switzerland so more suited for sports - all matches must be moved. hater 5: two stands are vacant matches must be moved out of Chennai.

Sure Indian summer is equally horrible everywhere midsummer - Chennai Kolkata and Mumbai usually hover around 34-36 degrees with around 70-80% humidity someday might be different.. that is **** i agree. But if someone wants to make money out of IPL and be paid millions you gotta take that up, if its too much they should go back home. if find it very rich coming from Mumbai folks as if their city is in alps, lol hypocrites. North of India temperatures settler in high 38s to 40s but humidity around 50%, Bangalore is the only good place settles around 30-32 with 60% humidity, which makes it much more pleasant. The only option is to shift the games up a little bit and start a bit earlier or have only night games. Real McCoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but there is a heat wave in India and the humidity is off the charts. Personally I think every IPL final should be in Dharamshala. 2nd there are admin issues with the Chennai stadium and political issues before that. Nothing against the average Chennai fan who wants to have a good time. Its pathetic that Eden Gardens an iconic ground headed by one of India’s greatest and influential captain and Chennai stadium all these years run by a guy who was one of the most powerful men in cricket ever are the 2 worst big city grounds in Indiaz CSK Fan and bahubali 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is in North like delhi and Mohali evenings get cooler at least in April and if sky is clear, you will have cool winds coming from snow covered Himalayas. This year especially Northern hilly states have seen historical snowfall. Snow cover area has increased up to 16% in Uttarakhand Himalayas alone.

Adi BB Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Chennai usually used to be a belter in t20s and lois especially during the initial IPLs but now the wkt has regressed so much and then OTTOT you have a side consisting of old timers, it's a sad state for the Chennai fans .they have to watch through this ,when dhoni gies nobody will even care about csk, maybe then they can get back the exciting brand of cricket and lure fans raki05, Laaloo and zen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, since you are a daredevil supporter and I am a Mumbai Indianan supporter, we actually have a lot of exciting young talent to look forward to. Kkr has young fast fast bowlers and Kuldeep and gill. delhi has Shaw, iyer, pant, harshal patel, etc. mumbai has Kishan, pandya, chahar, bumrah. And we gave lots of chances to markande last year. even Punjab is giving chances to Murugan ashwin. Srh bowling is more exciting to watch than this chuski raddi pitch bowlers like jadeja darting down leg side and thalaiva making a regular stumping look as if he was climbing Mount Everest in his lungi. as you implied, it would be interesting to see who they ‘adopt’ next Adi BB, DHONI_FANN, asterix and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSK = Dhoni. When Dhoni goes, interest will dwindle. If you look at CSK not a single guy from Tamilnadu is in the playing XI. At one point they had several of them. Ashwin, Balaji, Vijay.
