zen Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) I won’t be surprised if a lot of games are played among the last four teams and the top four teams for e.g. GT v CSK done (play only once in the group stage) RR v CSK done (2 games) RR v LSG done (play only once) In b/w RCB and LSG finished their 2 games. PK is yet to play its 2 games versus DC. CSK is yet to play its 2 games against DC. then we have had KKR play SRH twice SRH also played DC twice MI has played KKR, DC, and SRH Of course, when the schedule was done, they wouldn’t know how the teams would turn up (many rated DC and SRH relatively high based on strength on paper) Edited May 5, 2023 by zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chakdephatte Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Barring RR and GT, no team played good throughout. There is no competition between bat and ball. Either 200+ chases or crashing put chasing 140. Mumbai, Punjab, CSK have powerful batting, but club level bowling. This season I don't need to exaggerate, downright horrible bowling. Delhi is worse than they were 2012. Uncountable blunders by Ponting. nevada and rollingstoned 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowl_out Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 2008, there were RR, KXIP and CSK.. the rest sucked. Didn't realize 2021 was so lopsided. Who were at the bottom of the table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 IPL now appears to be more about a competition among other 9 teams to play the Wolves (GT) in the final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Realist Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Also the lowest quality ever. Full of pensioners & journeymen. Timing is terrible as clashes with climax of European football season which for me is much more compelling.

SUCH ROADS kind of wickets are not International Pitches , in england , africa , australia - scoring a 25 is equivalent to scoring a 100 here.........or i would say scoring a 100 is easier than scoring 25 runs at any international pitch in south africa/england/australia. why are we not making pitches in IPL where the bowlers/pacers get some help too?
