Debutant Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 As the tournament has progressed it has become more interesting. There are competitive matches and it is good to see some balance between bat and ball. T20 fatigue is definitely there as India had been playing T20s for last 3 months. I am enjoying it tweaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulbul Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 IPL is defiantly interesting no doubt but the question is that is it the worst compared to all other seasons?

Mariyam Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 5 hours ago, New guy said: On the contrary, as the tournament goes, the matches have become closer and more interesting. This is one of the most closely contested IPLs ever Closely contested probably, but that is because most of the teams are quite poor. The top 4 teams in IPL 5 or 6 would easily beat the top 4 teams in IPL 9 in 7 games out of 10, if one could arrange for such a hypothetical game. But the games between the bottom 4 sides in the two IPLs in contention would be more close contests. New guy and bulbul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowl_out Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Looking forward to the next Intl tour... Guess we have a Zim tour up next.. Customary rest for senior players and time to see new players... Vijay, Pandey, Saha, DK, Karun, Sran will surely be in the mix ... Who else? Uthappa / Rayudu / Rahane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevada Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 This is supposed to be an international congregation of fine cricketers from all over but I prefer to see some young, unknown Indian player do well than to see a star overseas player do well. I saw a match recently where the young Indian batsmen were just taking a single and giving the strike to an international star batsman who did the bulk of the scoring and won them the match. It felt so monotonous, unexciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippoSucks Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 It is because of the IPL coming right after the Asia Cup and the World T20. The quality of the matches is still good, but matches with MI or RCB are more interesting for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lannister Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I think I've pretty much followed all the RCB matches, and that is the first time for me. This one is more interesting because teams are allowing more youngsters to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shivaji bhonsle Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Lack of superstars and no CSK. I hated that team but they had very interesting and fanatic fans. Got to give it to them. Without csk and to a certain extent RR , ipl is boring. Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSK fans are chickens when thier team doesn't do well...no wonder they are called Chicken SuSu kings here... but that's interesting though why fans run away when thier team loses and boasts big when team wins Mosher and asterix 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 1st half of IPL was boring but second half has been more exciting with lots of close finishes but Tv production has been poor, but I think one reason for poor quality or boring is lots of Int stars been failing/not in starting XI/injured/ not taking part: Gayle, Samuels, Miller, Maxwell, Steyn, Johnsen, Starc, Dhawan, Raina, Ashwin, McCullum, Ross Taylor, Guptill, Rabada, Jason Roy, Root, Badree And too many past it Indian players playing: Yuvraj, Praveen Kumar, Zaheer, Bhatia, Binny, Bhajji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root did not want to play himself. Badree was injured otherwise would have been a permanent member of the side. IMO Santer is a Okish player who had an amazing WT20. David Willy should have been picked over Jordan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
