IPL Cricket 2008 Thread

Overall some great cricket in the IPL this wicket.

McCullum was on fire, and setup a new 20/20 record for the Knight Riders, only for that to be smashed the very next day when Chennai Super kings Scored 240/5 Michael Hussey scoring 100 of 50 balls!

Great entertainment to be expected over the next 6 weeks:)

McCullum got 158ish, still the highest T20 score, Hussey got 116 very fast (not to suggest that there was anything pedestrian about McCullum's effort.:D)

Did you see Watson break his bat this evening? :)

I am really enjoying this cricket - though its a little strange to find myself supporting teams with Australian players :eek:

That 158 - off how many balls was it? Apparently it was some innings! :eek: Did anyone else get any runs?? I mean there are only 120 balls to be bowled...

158 off 73 - 14x6's

Adrian Kuiper scored 123* of 66 balls against a rebel England side once.
About 20 years ago.
He would be good at this game.

Wonder why Lance Klusener isn't playing, he's still around.

Klusener,Hall,Van der wath and lara play for the rebel ICL.
 
Im still deciding which team im gonna support, at the moment Bangalore Royal Challengers sounds like the best bet, coz it has the most south africans in lol.
Pollock, Gibbs and Ntini are all in seperate teams, if they where together, i would suppport that team.. LOL

ICL is the rebel league it doesn't get shown in SA at all since it's not an ICC sanctioned event.
 
why'd you tell me that?
oh an it actually does get shown on Super Sport, watched the match between Royal Challengers and Knight Riders on sunday. they also got fixtures, results, logs, and show which SA guys are on what teams. just check supersport active

That's the IPL - Klusener, van der Wath, Lara etc are playing in the ICL, which is not being televised in SA.
 
*bangs head against wall in shock off stupidity*
OOPS my bad lol sorry... i thought the IPL was that league they talked about lol...
so what does ICL stand for?
 
ICL = Indian Cricket League IIRC
IPL = Indian People Lovecricket, according to a sign I saw in the stands. :D
