IPL

[skeggysteve]

Anyone else watching it?

I like watching/listening to test matches but the IPL is very entertaining and the ITV4 coverage is very good - they have just been talking to the fielding side captain!

Some good cricket - in my not very knowledgeable about cricket opinion!

I doubt that anyone will dispute that the catch last night was one of the best.

i watch it , seems to be of decent quality for a non expert like me . although i wish they would not keep showing people drinking pepsi .

Cracking last match, super over with 2 of the best cricketers!

Really enjoying it but agree with jag, the constant pepsi marketing is a little annoying!

Great down to the wire cricket though!

Great match!, there's been a few already.

I'm not that interested in Cricket but watched loads of the last two seasons. I had a period of listening to some test matches last year but much prefer the IPL, ad breaks are annoying and it's a bit commercialised, but it's a great advert for T20.

Oh and Shonali Nagrani

Not just me then!





I love the IPL. I think the FLT20 could learn a lot from it.

enjoying watching it but i do find the enforced jollity a bit wearing . still good quality cricket pretty much every match

Chris Gayle scored 175 in 66 balls today

His century was off just 30 balls - the fastest ever in pro cricket.

Itv4 are just about to reply his innings shortly!

[anonymous-user]

I'm not a big Gayle fan because I prefer the skillful player over the powerful one but my god...what an innings. Take my hat off to him.

[Baron Greenback]

Loved how it was in all parts of the pitch! Strike rate 265 and over 120m hit!

[AlexS]

Caught the replay, and what a fantastic innings.

AB's innings was something to watch as well. 7 scoring shots and 31 runs.

[Baron Greenback]

Shane Watson and Hussey are getting into former in IPL not good for the Ashes! Can't wait just hope we have good weather for the Ashes!

Not really a surprise to be honest but several players have been arrested in India over fixing in the IPL. One bowler (Sreesanth, an India international) was paid £100,000 to bowl one dodgy over.
