why is every score above 200

[sage]

this is a joke IPL

i havent even felt the desire to watch one match

feels like a video game

 

especially paired with the incongruence of our international team struggling to reach 160 in matches

[sage]

another 3 more 200s in 4 innings today .. joke!

You have to thank the likes of Phil Salt, Narine, Head,  Abhishek kind of guys. They raised the bar. Everyone else was forced to raise the bar because of that.

Ok - let us see if we have the same high scores in the Windies.

We won't. Because teams change. There won't be a  Indian spin basher covering for your weakness. In IPL you can mix Indians and foreigners. They will cover the weakness of each other.

Its a combination of small grounds + power hitters + mostly pathetic bowling. I agree that this IPL is really boring. No contest between bat and ball. BCCI should not bring the boundary ropes in and there needs to be something for the bowlers in the pitch. What we are seeing is just mindless slogging, which is quite boring.

On tar road flat pitches with puny 59m grounds and hopeless bowlers.

 

Stop overrating this absurdity.

Not to mention the dew filled outfields and the dreaded upcoming 2nd half of the tournament where every ball bowled will be slow as fffucckk.

I think scores will go down in the second half due to heat. used pitches.

Wankhede & Chinnaswamy are even 52-53 meters at some games.

 

Eden Gardens & Ahmdeabad are comparatively bigger but there as well the boundaries are pulled in.

Yup,

Klusener too mentioned it that old fashioned yorkers are very less this season.

Except Bumrah no one has bowled them consistently, hence he looks head and shoulders above than the rest of bowlers.

Not for most RR games 

 

Jaipur has provided the best bat-ball balance, and huge ground.

 

RR's exceptional bowling.

Yeah it's the only ground which has had somewhat balanced conditions.
