Part of a greater plan, we playing 4D chess which none of you peasants understand. Everything will become clear in a few days time <evil laugh> And my fav Saha produced the knock of the tournament, so enjoyable match for me. Pity he wasn't played much earlier. asterix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevada Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Switched off the TV last night after Stoinis got out. Checked the scorecard just now and am not all surprised. Iyer and Pant hiding behind Stoinis and Heymeyer gave enough signals about their (low) confidence levels. Glad I didn't waste my sleep in this disaster! WTF is wrong with Pant? 100 strike rate is acceptable for about a dozen balls and after that you hit out or get out. I don't understand this tuk-tuk mentality at all. What is the objective? To preserve and boost averages? To hide in plain sight and hope someone else does the job? Batsmen should just look to get a quick 25-30 and stop worrying about playing till the end!

They’ve to play “differently” on selected matches as per the demand of the tournament situation... If they don’t follow the instructions they’ll be sidelined... If you think Unadkat’s career is oven in IPL after that horrible over, you’ll be wrong. He’ll still be selected in the next auctions. nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched both seasons of Inside Edge, so I feel what you are saying. Undercutter perfectly fills the need for a joke bowler who can flip a match upside down causing betting windfall. IPL is more theater than sport. Whatever the script masters throw our way, we have to be content I guess. asterix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed watching Saha's innings too, he was in the zone last night. I was rooting for him to get a hundred. He is an amazing player who tries to do his best though he knows he might not even play the very next game! A very dedicated person and a through team man. asterix and Gollum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
