IPL 2014

Well....that's that......SL are deserved winners:)

Now it's time for the circus that is the IPL:pac::pac:......it's that time of the year when that all that is wrong with Indian cricket and the way it is run is forgotten and forgiven as we Indians enjoy 6 weeks of mind numbing entertainment

:D..... what better way for India to prepare for a full 5 test series in England this summer

Kohli looked all but ready to bludgeon his RCB team mate Yuvraj to death during the last 4 overs yesterday......Will the RCB want their money back?:(

As usual CSK will be the team to beat this year but I am really looking forward to the way Kings XI Punjab do this year with Maxwell and Johnson

Jonny_Darcy · 08-04-2014 10:09pm

Is it on Sky Sports this year? I have never had the pleasure due to not having the channels. Need to pick to team to support , any suggestions???

pajor · 10-04-2014 11:18am

Haven't watched IPL for two years now since it was on Setanta. Is it still shown live on Youtube?

Back then I always rooted for the top and bottom. CSK and Punjab Kings XI.

Edit: It'll be on ITV4 for the last time.

No next year it is on Sky. I think ITV4 are covering it.

Jonny_Darcy · 10-04-2014 8:55pm

That's a shame I don't have ITV4 , I was quite looking forward to it. I have been a bit of lumbering dinosaur with regard to T20. Never really took it as it's so far removed from Test cricket but it has really grown on me in the past year

RCB

Gayle, Kohli, AB De in the batting unit along with Yuvraj (who might be a huge flop). Never a dull moment supporting them as every game is a thriller and end up choking big time every season.

Safe bets? Chennai Super kings and maybe Mumbai Indians.

Mint Sauce · 16-04-2014 6:34pm

Watching the Kolkota Knight Riders v Mumbai Indians. No idea who to support overall just yet, leaning towards one of the 'Kings' or 'Delhi Daredevils', but will just enjoy the 5-6 weeks of it for now.

Already disapointed it wont be on ITV4 next season.

PS, are we allowed spoilers here?

Rjd2 · 16-04-2014 6:56pm

Not sure Mumbai fans will be to happy with the business done, Smith,Sachin Maxwell, Johnson Karthik out and in comes Hussey, Anderson and a few not so exciting names.

Kolkata looked quite good today, they do have the bowling and if Kallis is not as crap last year they could be dangerous and of course if they can get Yusuf into form, then great news.

Also they must be confident about their squad because they have signed a specalist fielder in Andre " ALL ROUNDER " Russell.:P

UAE grounds look quite lifeless get it to India ASAP.

Mint Sauce · 16-04-2014 6:59pm

Is there any of the Irish names involved this year? Including any of the ones who have moved to the England side.

None that I'm aware of. Pietersen is only player eligible for England to get picked.

Zero.

Morgan withdrew from the auction to focus on four day cricket to make a push for test cricket this summer. He did well for Kolkata last year so I think he would have been picked up this summer.

Maxwell and Miller at the crease vs Indian bowlers:P

Look totally clueless today, the summer business does not look at all clever now.

Want to see Bangalore defend before I got excited about them.

pajor · 19-04-2014 1:44pm

Knew this would happen, can't watch on ITV4 with UPC. :mad:

Youtube it is.

In the driving seat now anyway.

Rjd2 · 19-04-2014 8:24pm

Not watched every ball, but for most part have had it in the background, apart from Mumbai batting which was sooooooooo ugly in both matches its been a really fun start, lots of good games.

Giggsy11 · 20-04-2014 6:24am

Major difference in RCB bowling attack in 2 games was Chahal. He was impressive in both game and is not afraid to flight the ball. He hasn't conceded a boundary in 2 games if I heard it correctly.

Varun, Chahal, Starc are bowling well something we lacked big time last season. Also biggest plus is local bowlers, we had **** bowlers last time, at least this time looks like we have decent ones.

y0ssar1an22 · 20-04-2014 3:14pm

anyone know if the match today is on any of the ITV channels? And if not what is the youtube page for the live steaming?

Thanks

unfortunately itv4 are showing motor sports :mad: I figured it might have been on 1 of the other ITVs. Youtube will do. Wish now I had a smart TV.

I hope Watto gets some runs

booth70 · 20-04-2014 4:13pm

If Sanju Samson isn't a future India player I do not know who is.....classy lad and a potential wicketkeeper batsman for India:)

y0ssar1an22 · 20-04-2014 5:57pm

maxwell on the charge again. 28 off 13. hopefully he'll last the innings

edit: 35 off 15

Rjd2 · 20-04-2014 6:12pm

Painful watching Pujara bat here, they need Miller or Bailey in quickly.
