Austin 3:!6 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 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?

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. Edited April 6, 2022 by putrevus Chakdephatte and kohli 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited April 6, 2022 by zen Vijy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

putrevus Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Cummins thrashing Bumrah is also BCCI's fault. Bumrah not able to deliver in SA when series was in line is also BCCI's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamant Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 The gulf between IPL and international cricket can be explained by the fact that even Cummins can score a 15 ball 50 in IPL.

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.

DarkProfile Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 But spinners are doing good. Bishnoi, Chahar, Kudeep, Chahar, Ashwin... In today's match also, Narine and carrom-thrower choked the MI batsmen. Are spinners expected to do this well in Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Something our lads won't do when they are playing IPL. DarkProfile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
