Admitting I say this biased against the whole thing, and haven’t watched any, but what a complete non-event the last few matches of the IPL seem to have been going by the scorecards. No runs, no jeopardy - reads like complete rubbish.

It annoys me that they turn off the commentary on county championship cricket to put that shite on.

It's possibly the least interesting tournament in the world. Just joyless crap, week after week after week.

Great stuff that Chris Woakes went there and didn't play a single game, helpful.

A bunch of foaming at the mouth Gammons vs an Australian cricket team. The definition of a cunt soup

[Deutsch Wolf]

Think we're again unlikely to get a game tonight, absolutely hammering down in Cardiff

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wood for Topley if we do get a game tonight (bowling first if we do)

 

[Tredman]

Not that it will happen but imagine facing Archer and Wood for the opening overs..

 

[Tredman]

Second ball back at 95mph for Wood

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Azam Khan is quite the physical specimen.

 

[Tredman]

Can’t actually believe a top team is selecting someone like that.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I mean Inzi got a gig for nearly 20 years

Although he was brilliant tbf. Apart from running everyone out.

 

[Tredman]

Size aside I’m sure there are many other similarities

 

[Tredman]

Rashid really is something special at T20. His figures are in another realm to the others.

 

[leedswolf]

Azam Khan is quite the physical specimen.

He's 25! He looks older than me.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We can't keep picking Jordan, you can't have someone in because he can field and notionally bowl the last over. Miles off the standard required.

 

[Tredman]

Superb catch though.

I’m not advocating picking him but the alternative bowlers are smashing the place up either.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

158 to get

 

[leedswolf]

Aren't wicketkeepers usually nimble agile, and spry?
