IPL

[locky801]

Im with DTH + TDK in their opinions
I watch the BIG Bash as its a local comp and in prime time- and treat this form of cricket as entertainment
I also watch Women's 20/20 Aussie comps
I very rarely watch any other 20/20 comps around the world

I do read Locky's updates- and if something extraordinary happens will try and read about it
I notice Locky is now typing out STARc correctly !

Its cricket, if its on the box and i have nothing on I watch it, anything from the European Cricket League to T20, ODI/Tests

Im not a fan of the T20 game really but it's cricket, i have never been to a T20 game live

I actually watch more cricket than footy, only games of footy i watch in its entirety is the games my lad plays in for Broadview

As for footy on the box most i usually ever watch is a half

Who do you follow in the AFL mate?

No one, have never been to an AFL game and never will

[MW]

Not sure how the AFL will survive...

Why is that?

[locky801]

Nothing much to report from last nights game

Sunrisers, captained by Cummins and has Trav Head in the side lost by 38 runs

Cummings 0/40 (4) and 19* (10)

Head 20 (16) but looks way out of form

of note Rashid Khan 0/50 (3)

[locky801]

Only Tim David from Australia involved in last nights game.

He featured in an unfinished 6th wicket partneship of 56 with West Indian Ramario Shepherd

Tim scored 2 of those runs. Shepherd took a casual 32 runs off the last over of the innings to finish 53* off 14 balls

[The Dark Knight]

No aussies involved last night.

The 14ty old lad the scored that hundred the other night out 2nd ball for 0

On another note Maxwell all done and dusted from the IPL has a badly fractured finger and is out of action for months

Mitch Owen will be Maxwell's injury replacement and will join Punjab once his stint in the PSL is finished but may not get to the Punjab if his PSL franchise Peshawar Zalmi make the play offs.

Two games last night, only the last game of the morning (here) having any Aussies involved, 2 for the Kings and for Giants

Inglis batting at 3 for the Kings came out on fire and was 22* off the first 4 balls he received, first ball a classic cover drive for 4 the next 3 pull shots over mid wicket for 6 albeit the last one he was dropped, ended up out for 30 off of 14 with 1 x 4 and 4 x 6

Stonis back in favour with coach Ponting got to have a hit in the last over only and hit a brisk 15 from 5.

For the Giants Mitch Marsh again opened, lasted 5 balls before skying a pull shot and was out for 0

Stoinis bowled 1 over for 17

[locky801]

Hasnt been alot of action with rain and also no Aussies playing up until last night.

Last nights game got abandoned in the first innings with STARc being belted around the park by the 14yr old from the 1st ball and taking 0/23 off of 2.

Game abandoned after 11 overs when there was a massive power outage and the light towers went out.

seems more to it however as just before this happened air raid sirens were going off and it ended up that players/officials and spectators were escorted very quickly from the ground.

Reports this morning that the players and officials have been evacuated from the town and to another part of India due to the unrest between India and Pakistan

Hell I love Australia

[dedja]

Worst excuse ever to call off a match

Yes, we have some problems here but there’s no faarking way i’d live anywhere else.

[locky801]

Tensions between India and Pakistan really picking up, tiome for our players to come home i reckon from both the IPL and PSL

IPL suspended Aussies told to get out of there

Know its bad when that happens, finally back to normal sleeping hours though

Shouldnt laugh as its very serious but found this rather amusing

IPL starting Date Decided by BCCI
IPL Ending date Decide by Pakistan Air force

[dedja]

I blame the Poms

[locky801]

So they are saying a cease fire has been agreed to and that the IPL will resume this coming Thursday or Friday

What a load of crock

All international players just arrived home only to be told to do a U turn and fly back.

Personally i would be telling the IPL to get stuffed, whats the bet on reschedule day 1 something happens again

[locky801]

Confirmed re starts in a couple of nights.

Most overseas players heading back to play, not sure on STARc as yet

JFM has not gone back, wouldnt have got a game in anycase

Guess we wait and see what happens on the first night or 2 of resumption
