Karan114 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Roebuck PWNS IPL http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/a-worthless-corrupt-pursuit-20110408-1d7w2.html 74 games - wtf? Anyway, one day out of the way...but still seven weeks to go before proper cricket can start again :((
anotherhawkeye Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Admit it..todays' match was very close...Few games in WC was this close and exciting.
rajmarie Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 74 games - wtf? Anyway, one day out of the way...but still seven weeks to go before proper cricket can start again :(( U want proper cricket...u can enjoy BD vs Aus & WI vs Pak games.
Mariyam Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 The mediocrity of IPL seems almost criminal (and even comical) after the high standards of the world cup. On the contrary, the IPL doesn't have any minnows. Thats why in terms of pure entertainment value, its going to be so much better than the WC.
Sachin=GOD Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 On the contrary' date=' the IPL doesn't have any minnows. Thats why [b']in terms of pure entertainment value, its going to be so much better than the WC. and in terms of pure quality, so much worse than the WC :icflove:
vvvslaxman Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 U want proper cricket...u can enjoy BD vs Aus & WI vs Pak games. :hysterical:
vvvslaxman Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 My interest lies not just in free hits but innovation. Let us see what are the innovations coming out. Today Dhoni had two fielders standing very very close on the leg side when Randiv bowled.
Mariyam Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 and in terms of pure quality' date=' so much worse than the WC :icflove:[/quote'] Right. So while I watch the MI vs DC game, you can watch a re-run of Canada vs Kenya and completely regale yourself with high quality cricket. :icflove:

vvvslaxman Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 When Tendulkar makes a 100... this thread will be bumped for sure :cantstop:
ViruRulez Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 To be fair enough. Already bored a bit. Normally I get bored half way through IPL but already getting bored a bit in the first match itself. Was just watching it for fun and lolzz. This looks so farce after watching quality cricket for the past 6 months.

We are yet to witness Nohit sharmas, Shanthakumaran sreesanths et al.. :cantstop: We are just getting warmed up.

So while I watch the MI vs DC game' date=' you can watch a re-run of Canada vs Kenya and completely regale yourself with high quality cricket. :icflove:[/quote'] As far as this Bollywood Tamasha (a.k.a IPL) is concerned, I'm not watching any matches except those of Mumbai Indians and those also because Goddy is playing for them. I'd rather regale myself with Canada vs Kenya than watching SRGay & Co dancing up and down or watching the lovebirds Mallaya Jr & Dipika Padukone :icflove: Meanwhile you can watch Harbhajan slapping Sreesanth and Sreesanth crying - high quality indeed :adore: :adore:
vvvslaxman Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 After Ponting resigned' date=' I was wondering what Roebuck will whine about now[/quote'] If that is worthless.. why is Australia trying to imitate the same? :cantstop:
ViruRulez Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 If that is worthless.. why is Australia trying to imitate the same? :cantstop: Aussies are a whining lot .. they are trying to get Indian sponsors for Big Bash and are going for entertainment and are b!tching about IPL .. but that is the Aussies we all know :giggle:

Sachin=GOD Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Why so much angst against IPL? Its good for BCCI. Its good for the economy. Kya bigada hai SRK ya Mallya ne tumhara? I don't exactly like the idea of a World Cup winning Indian player being booed by the crowd of his own country (happened as recently as today - Gambhir was booed by the Chennai crowd and has happened in previous seasons as well) or Indian team mates fighting (Slapgate - Bhajji & Sree) but most importantly I don't find any sort of quality in the T20 version of cricket - T20 cricket is just about hitting - the batsmen hitting the bowlers all over the park that is :headshake: In Tests (and to some extent in ODIs too) you get sustained periods of high quality cricket where you get to see a good battle between the bat and the ball. In T20 batsmen are trying to hit from ball one and bowlers are trying to save runs - thats it, nothing else is there in a T20 match.
