IPL 2024 🇮🇳

[Inside Forward]

This Fraser-McGurk bloke is a cheat code.

 

[Hettonlass]

89/0 after 5 overs
114/1

 

[Voice of fair play]

Some where some TV executive has deemed that sixes and huge scores are all that tv audiences want. May be true sometimes but there has to be an even contest between bat and ball or eventually huge scoring games becomes a snorefest.

Yeah always loved the IPL and still do, but there has to be acceptance of the increasing balance going far too far in the batsmans favour.

Cricket fans imo have always loved seeing big hitting but when the balance tipped too much in favour of them it’s definitely concerning

 

[Khukuri]

Ipl needs to experiment with legal ball tampering

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Nearly 150 more sixes than at the same stage last year (815 as opposed to 670 or summat).

 

[FatCat2402]

Will Jacks.... bloody hell

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Canny innings from Jacks there. 100 of 41. Summat like 50-60 off the last two overs.

 

[SAFC11]

Jacks take a bow

 

[Voice of fair play]

Good to see Jacks hitting form with World Cup round the corner

 

[Lagger]

What a knock that is from Jacks

 

[Dexter]

Decisions to make for the World Cup. Jacks, Buttler, Salt and even YJB absolutely smashing it to all parts.

Bairstow
Brook
Livingston
Curran/Ali
Woakes
Archer
Wood
Rashid

Backups
Ali/Curran
Rehan

Overton out with a back injury I believe? Shame as he was elite in the 16.4 and Big Bash recently

Yeah just know he was likely going to get picked prior to injury.

I've missed out the more obvious pick of Topley in the bowling department anyway.

Squad gets announced tomorrow.
