Are they preparing IPL pitches this year keeping T20 World Cup in mind?

Recommended Posts

Pitches in IPL this season are unusual in a good way. Most of them are fast, bouncy pitches where seam bowlers getting assistance and batsman also can hit through the line by trusting the bounce. Spinners on the other hand have limited role to play. Normally you associate these kind of tracks in Australia where the T20 world cup is this season.

 

So the question is there a deliberate attempt by BCCI to give Australian type pitches this IPL keeping T20 world cup in mind?

this would indicate that BCCI has foresight, vision, and long-term planning. given that we are talking about BCCI, I am going to go out on a limb and say that the answer is a bit fat no

Common criticizing is very easy, how has BCCI lacked in foresight, vision and long term planning.

every poster can weigh in with 10s of instances. you can ask @express bowling about how long-term planning is missing for pace reserves.

 

I will point out two (out of many) glaring examples. After we knew that we qualified for WTC (which was known to be held in england), there was no attempt to acclimatize players to conditions, whereas NZ had the huge advantage of a 2-test series. likewise, in the last WT20, IPL was held until too long and this resulted in many players being fatigued or carrying niggles.

 

the list goes on and on. if you want to live in your reality where BCCI is a great cricket board, that's fine by me.

God people expect miracles. NZ tour was on long before NZ even qualified for finals so that was nothing which NZ team did in planning. 

 

BCCI has best under 19 program in the world , they are only board not to sacrifice their FC cricket for tamasha cricket.They are one of few boards to still keep test cricket as pinnacle.Every domestic player is being paid well.

 

IPL will always be held in April to Jun and it will not be reduced nor should it be reduced. So bickering about IPl is silly. England season will always have conflict with IPL. Any time India play early in England ,Indian team also will be affected.

 

BCCI is not resposible for wins and losses. Players are being given every chance to succeed.

 

If people want miracles then  no board is good enough.

Since the IPL is being played at a handful of venues, BCCI has kept grass on most pitches to make them hold up better ... The red soil in B'bay helps with the bounce as well 

 

In late April-May, the pitches could begun to turn big

But problem is Australia has bigger grounds and its actually flatter, believe it or not. So very good batting tracks. These ones seem very spicy in India AtM.

The gulf between IPL and international cricket can be explained by the fact that

even Cummins can score a 15 ball 50 in IPL.

That guy hasn't done anything close to it in international t20s

Cummins has test 50's at International level & a strong built lad.  Of course he has batting talent.  In India he would already be called a A/R.  People few years ago called Bhuvi a A/R in this country man.

Bhuvi is a better test batsman than Cummins and its not debateable.

Common man bhuvi can barely hold his bat. He can stick around a bit but Cummins has way better technique plus he can hit out as well as stick around. In any case why am I even comparing these two. :cantstop:

The contrast of this is Cummins the T20I bowler has much better stats than the IPl bowler. So bowling is hard job in IPL

Cummins strong built? That dude is skinny as phuck. He is tall. That's about it. Definitely way stronger than bhuvi though.

Or maybe he doesn't go flat out in pyjama IPL LEAGues. It's like a holiday for these guys. Cummins is notorious for conserving energy for his beloved Aussie test side. Something our lads won't do when they are playing IPL.
