Raza in IPL

[tej_27]

Raza took three very crucial catches also . I think he has done enough to start in the next game also provided livingstone doesn't get fit again

Also, and I know this is controversial, I think Livingstone might just be the most over rated cricketer of this era.

So he played inconsistent ?

Privthi Shaw has sadza'd himself nicely. Little beachball

Sikki looked like he belongs, he was unfazed and played a key role for his team. Punjab are known for some very interesting overseas picks, Azhar Mahmood, Hashim Amla, Sikandar Raza... These are players who would get ignored by other teams but Punjab have picked them and they have done brilliantly for Punjab when they played.

IPL is overrated guys, if you are a good player you will do well in IPL. Now with 10 teams even more so because the talent is even widely distributed. With the addition of this useless impact rule it is effectively 12 players a side game which further deteriorates the quality and will also result in more one sided matches. If you observe lot of Indian players who do well in IPL later struggle to perform at international level. Harshal Patel, V Iyer, V Chakravarthy, are some recent examples.

Didn't last long with the bat today. It's cut throat. Hopefully he gets at least a 5 game run.

1 with bat

24-0 off 2 with ball

Luckily his team won so hopefully he gets another run

I'm bored of the IPL after 3 days.
Its just so repetitive and boring. Small grounds and nothing in it for the bowlers.

Losing interest massively

I lost interest in the IPL after the 2nd season. I especially lost interest when they attempted the T20 Champs League but forced international players to play for IPL franchises.

It's not a proper cricket competition. Reading that matches are going over 4 hours long this season. That's not how T20 is meant to be.

BCCI just have the money.

I believe Champions League T20 was scrapped because IPL sides were losing to some side from Australia or England or South Africa despite having the best players available for them. That was massively damaging the image of IPL sides.
