***Official*** IPL 2024

And kinda sad @Daemon is still so jealous and envious of the greatest franchise in cricket. Sucks to suck, Daemon.

This is like saying I’m jealous of the hottest guy on the biggest loser

SRH have got a lot right this year, but Markram can be binned as has had a poor campaign and they have a beast in Phillips right their on the bench who bossed it when he was finally given a go last season.

 

[centurymaker]

Phillips is probably a better hitter than Markram. Plus he can bowl a few overs too.

So I'd have binned Markram sooner.

Markram is the better bat in this format and the better part-time off spinner. Their part-time bowling is largely redundant now though with the super subs, but yeah Markram isn't getting it done, so I'm definitely in favour of giving Glenn Phillips a try.

Yeah I'm wrong and that's why one was picked to play every IPL game this year and the other has played zero.

One also has 5 times as many T20 international wickets in half as many games as the other and that's because Phillips doesn't bowl much in the format as he's cr*p. Meanwhile Markram often bowls in the power play.

So many drops from PUBKS

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Gotta bowl the SLA to Salt to get him out. He is most susceptible to the arm ball.
Idk if Punjab has an SLA. Brar?

 

[Arachnodouche]

Does Iyer still bowl and is he still in the reckoning for India? Seemed like a genuine alternative to Pandya a couple of years ago.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Prabhsimran, grabbing the bull by its balls.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

111-1

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jonny Bairstow is hammering it like hell

222-2

[SillyCowCorner1]

40- the most sixes hit in any t20 match.

 

[kevinw]

Who'd be a bowler in this tournament?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Roussouw is the right guy in the right places:

Highest successful chase in T20Is
Highest chase in the PSL
Now likely to be in the highest chase in the IPL, and in all T20s

 

[Niall]

Sound like an old fogey, but these highways are pretty boring . I don't mind them now and then but **** me its nearly every game.

Hopefully the WI roll out very slow pitches where 150 is unchasable.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Pulverizing. KKR haven't had a chance all night long defending 260 in 20 overs.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Now the highest successful chase in all t20s

It's gonna be broken in a week's time.

The matches in Guyana whose wickets are very sluggish will be interesting to see how these hack(er)s go at it.
