kubrickian Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 More than IPL, its the useless ODIs and T20s they play throughout the year, which will cause more damage. Bumrah, Shami dont need to play all the bilateral LOI games, they are too valuable, just let them play important test matches and World Cup. BCCI needs to wake up and monitor their work load. Also, 4 or 5 tests in a tour is overkill. 3 are enough. Adamant 1 Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 We played 3 ODIs and 3 T20s in bilaterals this year. Where as some players like Bumrah, Shami played around 16 games over a period of 2 months , 3 months if you include quarantine. BCCI could have cancelled one year of IPL. Ab Bhugto, Saalon.

kubrickian Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Fast bowlers have a shelf life. You cant blame them for wanting to play IPL and earn some money while they can. Tomorrow, they could sustain a back injury and never bowl again. beetle, Norman, AuxiliA and 1 other 4 Link to comment

BCCI Wheelers and Dealers don’t care. Test cricket is in their lowest priority list. Test Cricket doesn’t bring moneys and is expensive... Theyll continue to focus on things which generate moneys and help sustain the cost of managing cricket... Rightarmfast 1 Link to comment

Without IPL, we may never have had Bumrah play test cricket. He could have been toiling away in Ranji, his best years wasted instead of being polished alongside Malinga. It works both ways.

sandeep Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Because of the IPL, Ranji first class players get fat salaries now, even those that don't get selected in IPL. Stop hating on it just because you want bragging rights for winning tests. Not saying that the IPL is beyond criticism - plenty can be hurled at it. But blaming IPL for "destroying our chances" is a childish take. And an incorrect one. AuxiliA, Norman and Vk1 1 2 Link to comment

Real McCoy Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Oh big bad IPL destroying Indian cricket. GTFOH. Its just 4 overs per game and 2 matches per week. As a matter of fact, this helped the bowlers some game time before the series. Its not overworking the bowlers that made bowlers like Umesh fall apart but the lack of mathces as pointed out by glenn mcgrath in the post match show. I'm more likely to trust an expert like mcgrath who played the game than some numpties playing armchair experts on the game. last few seasons were more hectic than this year and the bowlers survived the grind because their bodies were used to it by playing.

India had rich TV contracts and BCCI was able to pay fat salaries and bonuses to ex-cricketers as well. Link to comment

Injuries are part of game and bad luck all happened together . More then IPL its the long break that is another reason , we have been playing IPL for 12-13 yrs now so these bodies can handle it. On field injuries can happen anytime even in nets like its happening in Aus , we cant just cottan wrap these guys Link to comment

Count they time they field for about 1.5-2 hours. Plus the nets, practice matches etc. It is not a walk in the park. They can cut down their work, esp when they are battling injuries. Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Ok, if IPL is so great and all, why not just play only IPL? Let's forget about ICC matches, ODIs and Test Cricket? It's time to pick. Hai dum? Edited January 13, 2021 by coffee_rules Link to comment
zen Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 IPL allowed players to get off the rust gathered from not playing competitive cricket. Pujara did not play any competitive cricket before landing in Aus so started rusty, now slowly and steadily getting back to best sandeep and nevada 2 Link to comment
gattaca Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) IPL is the reason Ranji, test cricket survives. Stop blaming the IPL. It pays everything. Yes it does exhaust resources may be in the long term we will have good bench of bowlers and bastman. I understand IPL the reason for Bumrah injury but apart from that shami, jadeja, pant, vihari and ashwin are not IPL related injuries. Its just 2020 injury the lockdowns and gym access and lack of cricket is the reason. Edited January 13, 2021 by gattaca Banton and sandeep 2 Link to comment
dilliboy Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Without IPL players like Bumrah, Hardik, Pant, Chahal might never have played for India.....playing IPL wasn't the wrong decision. However, players like Rohit and Hardik playing through injuries was nevada and sandeep 2 Link to comment
