Webbo Posted 4 April 2012 Posted 4 April 2012 Started today, anyone watching? One of my favourite sporting events, get home from work(I'm home a bit early today) and watch the run chase. Great entertainment.
leicesterisme Posted 4 April 2012 Posted 4 April 2012 The Cricket hasn't been too clever so far, but this presenter is very nice and I don't mean Matt.Smith.
StanSP Posted 4 April 2012 Posted 4 April 2012 Love it. And from a fans point of view, I love how long the tournament is. Matches everyday for a good couple of weeks, plenty of entertaining cricket and big-hitting to watch, plenty of pretty cheerleaders on show. Shame I've missed today's match and will miss tomorrow's thanks to work. Friday is first day off work for a week so will be sitting back and relaxing watching IPL that day. I'm supporting Mumbai and Chennai (Mumbai predominantly) though .
Webbo Posted 4 April 2012 Author Posted 4 April 2012 Bit of a dull game in the end with such a low total to chase.
MrFox781 Posted 4 April 2012 Posted 4 April 2012 KXIP all the way. havent got a clue why i chose them but stuck with them throughout.
StanSP Posted 4 April 2012 Posted 4 April 2012 Rajistann Royals If they still play in it. They do. First match on Friday
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 4 April 2012 Posted 4 April 2012 I watch it when it's on and i'm home which isn't often as time difference is a killer. Do say to myself each year i'm going to follow it but never really do.
Webbo Posted 5 April 2012 Author Posted 5 April 2012 That Pathan is a batsman and a half. I think I may make the Delhi Daredevils my team.
ScouseFox Posted 12 April 2012 Posted 12 April 2012 Brilliant stuff. CSK chase down 205 and win it on the last ball.
Captain... Posted 12 April 2012 Posted 12 April 2012 The problem with the IPL is that each team has at least 2 players on it I don't like from the international scene, (normally Aussies) I think I will throw may support behind India Pune Warriors and Luke Wright flying the English flag, are there any other English cricketers, I know KP and Morgan are there but they aren't English.
StanSP Posted 12 April 2012 Posted 12 April 2012 The earlier match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore was a joy to behold. It really was what IPL is all about - big hitting, emphasised by the fact that there were a record amount of sixes hit in one IPL match - 22 I think. Chris Gayle started it all off and led Bangalore on the way to 206, but then Dhoni and Morkel led the fightback for Chennai. 2 of the sixes were hit out of the ground. It was just an incredible match to watch. Sensational.

Owais Shah? He's not English much either . Mascharenhas and Azhar Mahmood are on Kings XI Punjab's books, again not English much! Paul Collingwood on Rajasthan Royals' roster.
IdiotequeFox Posted 19 April 2012 Posted 19 April 2012 Chennai Super Kings (165-5) bt. Pune Warriors India (151-7) - earlier great game, back to back defeats for PWI but CSK back to winning ways.
Webbo Posted 19 April 2012 Author Posted 19 April 2012 I saw Chris Gayle hit 5 consecutive 6s on Tuesday night but had to leave the house to get to the football. Does anyone know how the match ended.
StanSP Posted 19 April 2012 Posted 19 April 2012 I think this has been the best tournament so far, and I reckon it can only get better. Been fantastic to watch so far. Tendulkar's back on Sunday! Pietersen was immense in the early game today - he hit 9 6's in his first T20 century. Joy to watch. I saw Chris Gayle hit 5 consecutive 6s on Tuesday night but had to leave the house to get to the football. Does anyone know how the match ended. Yeah, RCB won by 6 wickets. Chris Gayle ended on 81 off 48.
Voll Blau Posted 19 April 2012 Posted 19 April 2012 Watched a bit of De Villiers the other day which was quite entertaining, likewise with Gayle. I can't watch too much though otherwise I just get too annoyed by the whole unnecessary gimmickry of the thing. I do enjoy T20 but it just takes the piss a little bit. Heard one commentator say "he's hit that outta the ballpark" the other day. It's called a cricket ground you bellend.
IdiotequeFox Posted 20 April 2012 Posted 20 April 2012 Kings XI Punjab (163-6 in 20 overs) to Royal Challengers Bangalore today (166-5 in 19.3 overs)- cracking game Chris Gayle MOTM for his 87 off 56 balls, really good tournament so far.
Webbo Posted 27 April 2012 Author Posted 27 April 2012 I think I may make the Delhi Daredevils my team. Looking good against MI.
StanSP Posted 28 May 2012 Posted 28 May 2012 I watch the majority of matches up until the final, then I miss the big one due to work! Well done, KKR, though. Very happy for Gambhir. Did they do all the awards after the match?
