Usually i would be saying country over ipl, but the financial situation is so dire that for our cricketing structures to survive something has to be sacrificed. I think many Aussie players will partake. Dont see the Acb will stop them given that if bcci cancels the tour they will be up the creek without a paddle. So both sides will have players involved just before a test series. But i do hope somebody tells likes of Rahane and Pujara two test cricketers who have earnt enough money to forgo the ipl and play test cricket. Bcci need to be wise and compensate them. Dont think these two add to glamour coefficients of ipl. Its also good that kohli is with rcb. Mostly should be the out of the running quickly so he can relax and get into test mode. The bcci needs to be smart and decide which players wont add to the ipl glamour and are test players. Rahane Pujara Ishant etc. Ensure you keep like an india a vs india b game in india or aus. raki05 1 Link to comment
Gollum Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Pakistan may win/draw/lose in England but I admire how they are preparing. Landed in England so early, big contingent and playing so many warm ups and intra-squad matches. They did the same before the previous 2 Eng tours (2016, '18). If a poor board like PCB can do this what stops BCCI? With our resources, talent, depth, fast bowling attack if only we take pre-SENA tour preparations more seriously !!!! But no, we had Kohli's wedding and a useless SL series, so arrived in RSA 5 days before 1st test and didn't have a single outdoor session. And we prepared for Eng tests by playing T20s/ODIs with Kookaburra on pattas. In NZ we warmed up by playing 5 T20s and 3 ODIs when the need was to have more 4 day warm ups preferably with FC status. vishalvirsingh, Lone Wolf and Sgattick10 1 1 1 Link to comment

If financial situation of Indian cricket depends so much on 1 IPL season, I don't think BCCI is managing the $$$ properly, how did they flourish before 2008? Can the board be more transparent about its financial allocations/transactions? No wonder the state of Indian cricket is so dire, stinks of corruption. I don't care about other boards be it ECB or CA....only BCCI chomus who I doubt have Indian cricket's best interests at heart. I don't mind IPL but the way these administrators are whining and crying, I mean give me a break....it is as though they are the only *ers suffering because of Covid and them deshbhakts are doing the nation a favor by hosting a league which btw has title sponsorship of a Chinese company.

Too many associations have big ticket infra projects under construction Its at the ranji level where the problems lay. On a per capita basis the bcci does not earn much raki05 1 Link to comment

Agree they managed to draw their last two test series there. I think their bowlers like English conditions & their batters play swing better than our superstars who get destroyed by Moeen Ali of all people. They prepare well no doubt about that.

Austin 3:!6 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 IPL 2020 set to begin on September 19 The 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League is set to begin on September 19 and the final will be played on November 8, Brijesh Patel - the IPL Governing Council chairman - confirmed the window Cricbuzz, on Friday (July 24). The tournament will be held in UAE, pending clearance from the Indian government. Earlier in the week, the BCCI had zeroed in on the United Arab Emirates as the venue for the 13th edition of the tournament after long deliberations of hosting it in India had failed following the worsening of the coronavirus pandemic in the country. The Emirates Cricket Board, and SLC, had approached the BCCI with the offer of playing host to the IPL, stating that they had the required infrastructure for it. With the ICC postponing the Men's T20 WC - originally scheduled to be held from October 18 to November 15 - a window opened up for IPL to be held. Further details regarding the plan of departure for teams and the full schedule of the tournament will be chalked out at the IPL Governing Council meeting next week. https://m.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/113563/ipl-2020-to-begin-on-september-19-final-on-november-8 Link to comment
raki05 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I dont care about abroad tour anymore atleast ipl is fun to watch and no stresss. Also financialy it will be beneficial at so many level. If anyone thinking that going 2 months before the abroad tour India would be able to win the tour of Aus it's pure assumption. As, even if no ipl bcci would arrange some other random series than giving 2 months for training. Also i dont think even if you give 4 months preparation to fattus like hahane,kohlis and their minions wo kuch ukhad payengey. So stop whinning and enjoy the thing where india has absolute control and on which padosi cry day and night. maniac, Stan AF and sergio04 3 Link to comment

I like IPL, SENA tours etc. but my favorite tournament is Asia cup/ Nidahas trophy kinda series. These are the tournaments I get most excited about and wait for months. Nothing feels better than watching some crying Pak/Bangla fans...hehe. Asia cup is like world cup for me and I will miss it dearly this year raki05, maniac and sergio04 3 Link to comment
Nikola Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 West indies going in with 2 spinners and 1 injured pace bowler. Won toss and elected to bowl first. Should have atleast selected to bowl for 4th innings considering you got 2 spinners. Link to comment
