Not everyone's cup of tea on this forum, but due to start today with skysports showing it.
Itv's coverage was pretty good previously
-
More cricket I can't watch!
What was wrong with ITV4 showing it :(
-
Love the Ipl can't wait will record most games
-
Should be good game to kick things off as well
Interested to see what Sky do with their coverage too
-
So it's no longer on terrestrial?
That's utter poocakes that is! That's just about the last bit of cricket I could still watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well at least it wont get dumped on sundays in favour of touring cars :)
-
Sky bought the rights for 3 years coverage here in the UK.
-
Sounds like it's time to use the Star India IPL streaming in Chrome and Chromecast it to the TV...
-
Well its back and MI in trouble. 37-3 and the last wicket was , Indian players + short ball = wicket, guided it straight to slip.
-
Do what-now with the who-what?
-
Narine not the same bowler when bowling with a straight arm

I didn't really notice any difference in his action personally, may drag up some clips and compare later.
-
Gambhir's new ss splits in half!
-
Gambhir's bat just snapped in two. Seeing more and more pro bats breaking in past few months. All must have been over dried to get big size for weight.
-
Tried and tried.. alas.. managed to keep my interest for not more than 11 minutes and 25 seconds. Am damn bored watching cricket. Need a detox from too much of this :(
-
Thriller today between Delhi and Chennai.
Delhi lost by one run.
-
Too expensive to buy the package. Waiting for test cricket to start, nice affordable price for online streaming.
-
I online stream (live) all of the games i want to watch...it free too. The quality is not hd but its about 480p which is alright to be honest
-
Meh...saw highlights...pooey batting shots to get ball over tiny boundary. I'd rather watch baseball.

Yeh, IPL is pretty boring ... It is like WWE - fake wrestling .
What was all that noise about betting last year?
-
We get the idea you dont like the ipl. Move on so those of us that do can discuss it.
Enjoyed yesterday's game but delhis dodgy batting order cost them the game.
Plus yuvraj looked like a clubbie against the short ball.
-
Just saw the IPL Player Auction....No one gave a f about Amla
-

I saw a lot of Amla at Surrey last season. He's not great to watch at T20 cricket to be honest, only the purists like to watch him and that's not T20's target market.
-
I knownit a day late just been on catch up I record every IPL came Rohit Sharma although a losing inning some of them shots with that forward mentum he is a real player love watching him bat
-
Keen to see how the KXIP go this year after just falling short
-
Very good recovery by Rajasthan Royals after a slow start and few early wickets.
-
Kings 11 lost that by messing up the batting order and sending a bowler in before miller and bailey.
That catch at the end was extraordinary!

That catch was something else pure quality that's for sure
-
I don't think there will be a catch during the rest of the tournament that can beat this one. Just amazing piece of fielding.
-
I love t20!!
The missus enjoys watching the shorter format too
Power hitting,timing,strokeplay,invention. What's not to like?
The fielding gets better every year
Always wonder what boycott woulda been like brought up with t20 cricket
-
Boult picked over Steyn and Bopara picked over Morgan by SRH today.
-
Boult vs McCullum should be a good contest!
Bopara playing as the finisher again, interesting to see how he goes
-
Hope sharma's getting a bonus for bowling all those no balls
-
Brendan McCullum is an animal, he was pounding to the ball to all parts against Hyderabad. 9 massive sixes to boot.
-
Anybody watch the build up?? Is albie morkel injured or Delhi switching about too much and trying to blame him for last game loss??

Albie only played in Chennai as Sri Lankans players aren't allowed to play there. Angelo Mathews was available again today so came straight into the side.
-

He was there only batsmen in the last game. I presume they sent him in as a pitch hitter and wasn't happy with his above a run a ball 60 odd.
Strange decision to drop, but then it was either him or duminy to bring Matthews in..... victory here will mean they were right.
-
JP is the skipper so Albie was always the likely fall guy. TBH despite Albie's slow start against Chennai he was the only batsmen to show any fight so a but unlucky to get axed.
-
Rajastan win of the last ball.
Matthews had to defend 12 of the last over and failed. ..... should be picked morkel.......
-
Delhi should have won that game. Those missed run outs have cost them.
-
Sehwag rolling back the years and flying at a sr of 200.
Age no boundary!
-
Mumbai's flat track bullies (finch, sharma and Anderson) have been embarrassed by a bit of swing.
Good decent swing bowling but a Total no contest.
-
That was crazy...
-

I didnt realise that was still an active thing, i know it happened on 2013 but assumed it had been resolved by now
-

I'm sorry what now??
Can you shed some light on why that is - I've not heard about that before?
-

I believe it's due to aggression shows towards Tamils in Sri Lanka and therefore political tension.
-
Bopara gets another game. Didn't do to badly in the first game.
Morgan must be in horrible form that he can't be selected
-
not having this on ITV4 is, once again, having an impact on the viewing of cricket - I think it is a real shame that kids on their easter holiday/after school are not able to watch the once form of the game they can really enjoy and feel part of

Very true it's a real shame.
I was lucky enough to watch the Mumbai Indians game as I was in Mumbai on Sunday night and the atmosphere and noise levels in the ground are unreal.
What's even more satisfying is to see the number of little kids at the game with their parents. It's a real family affair.

Morgan gets a game with the SRH in trouble. Need some runs from Morgan and bopara if they have any chance of setting a decent score
-
That no ball was ridiculous. 3rd umpire looked like he was trying his hardest to find an angle which meant he could give it out!
No ball all day long.
Ipl seems fickle with overseas. Williamson dropped already, hardly got a chance. And Delhi same with poor albie. Best player in his only game and then jettisoned for Mathews who's been poor since.
On srh. Not used steyn yet. Steyn struggling. Injury? For? Mentally? Just find it strange he hasn't got a game yet.
-
Albie only got a game because Mathews couldn't play in chennai.. I'm thinking he's not first choice for Kirsten?
Bit harsh on steyn tho.. But I guess moody feels that boult can bring his World Cup form into the ipl.. Don't think they can play both really.. Their Indian batsmen aren't good enough.
Wait and see if Morris who's bowled very well until now gets dropped for Watson when he gets fully fit...
-
looks like Morgan was using H4L bat..
-
Really enjoying watching Trent Boult bowling in the IPL. Thought he might get a little exposed in Indian conditions, but not a bit of it. The kid is a class act, dare I say it he could be the best bowler in the world some day soon.
-
What are mumbai upto here. There playing awful cricket
Could be 30 all out at this rate.
-
And harbajhan could be timed out here, ran down the stairs quite late with half his gear still in his arms,
Farce is the only word. Lol
-
Mumbai Indians are playing horrible cricket and Super Kings display amazing bowling and fielding.
-
Don't think Ponting will have his job for too long! Anderson is no number 3 batsmen.
They don't really have a clue what they are doing
-

Nah he'll have to leapfrog Sir Jimmy Anderson before he can get called that. Maybe when Jimmy retires...
-
As a Mumbai Indians fan the first half was painful but last 5 overs have been sheer joy.
-
This game is pretty much over after the first 5 overs.
You know it's a flat pitch when Dr Smith is getting runs. Mumbai just don't have any bowlers and with malinga past his best, can't see them winning a game.
Add to that rohit possibly injured. Reckon tendulkar, ponting and bond might have to come out of retirement at this rate
-

Anderson wouldn't even get into South Africa/Australia/New Zealand's 'A' sides. Clubman. That's all.

Really? Steyn and Phillander aren't for to lace the Burnley Express' shoes! ;)

Yeah I guess averaging 21/22 is just a blip, whereas Anderson struggling to break 30 after 12 years is the hallmark of a genius...
-
Duminy appears to be using a SS bat today.
Boult replaced by stein

Sometimes longevity is worth more. He's been consistent for all those years, not like these flash in the pan Saffa's you keep harping on about.

Talking out of your rear end? Or is that where they brain is situated?
'Flash in the pan' Dale Steyn 396 poles @ 22 in 78 Tests
Clubman Anderson after 12 years struggled like hell to even break 30 average.
Levels and gulf in class.
Anderson is a home town bully.

Steyn only takes wickets on the hard tracks like the Wanderer's and Perth. Everyone has their favoured conditions in which they perform well, Steyn's just a bully in his conditions too. :-[

I thought I read BAS on the side of his bat...
Still cheeky from him either way :)
-
Has to be one of the worse chases. Gayle not playing a shot in anger and AB coming in needing 16 rpo.
Probably one of those scripted games.
AB not using the kahuna any more? Or is it just for the ipl
-
What was AB using?
-
What was AB using?
An orange and black kook
-
That might be maxwell done for this ipl.
With marsh scoring runs, surely when Bailey is back, maxwell has to give way?
-
What a game! Some knock by marsh in both innings.
Shocking last over from faulkner
-

Good game, Kings xi looked nowhere with 3 overs left. Draw level then monster the super over.
Dodgy bowling on both parts, but where was Faulkner going?
Rahane and hooda would have been my pick for the super over, not the 3 aussies.
-
Enough fielder errors in that game!
Talks of the champions league being cancelled because its not getting the sponsors required.
-
Gayle dropped.
And Kohli selling de viliers up the river with a dummy for 2.
Rcb could be done and buried already.
-
Why exactly does David Warner select Ravi Bopara if he seldom bowls him? Bopara's hardly the most destructive lower middle order hitter. Sunrisers batting is pretty threadbare nonetheless anyway. Warner and Dhawan then jack all else...

To be fair I'd say previous to this the 5 matches and 16 overs prior to this is a bit more than seldom bowled. Curious how he didn't go to him today though despite him doing fairly well in the other games in general, but I guess none of the more specialist bowlers were getting hit around that badly. His best innings in the tournament so far has been at 3 but then they kicked him back down the order in place of Rahul and Ojha.

Fair enough regarding Bopara's bowling, commentary made out like he never bowls. And Rahul and Ojha have been dreadful. Sunrisers seem to have all top order batsmen(Warner, Dhawan, Rahul, Ojha, Williamson, Bopara etc) and only one 'finisher' (Morgan) who doesn't get picked ???
-
Starc on fire. 3 for 20 of his 4. Turning Rcb ' s season around.
Yuvraj nowhere again.
-
95 all out. Shocking display
-
Got to love a bit of brad hogg.
44 years old. And they still can't get him off the square. Batsmen just seeing him out.
-
Who needs Narine eh? :p
-
Why watching IPL on mute is better...shows the quality of commentary.

Hoggy Hoggy hoggy. Oi oi oi.
4for 29 for the elder statesmen today.
Is brad Hogg the best limited overs spin bowler currently?

Botha continues to chuck the ball. Got a worse action than Narine.
Better not play against csk or he might get called up
-
KP in the studio today with warne, should be interesting!

A gayle storm in action. 42 of 18 currently.
-
Reckon johnson's better off heading away from the ipl and preparing for some test match cricket. Looks woefully out of form. Going at 10rpo + in every game.
Rcb look on course for a 220+ score. Carnage on a small ground
-
Best fielder for Kings xi has been the spider cam. Saved them six!

That was stupid, surely the dead ball rule should only come into play if it's a catch?
Not like hitting the wire took the ball over the rope ???

Think it bought it back in abit. Fielder stopped looking, and it landed just a few feet behind him. Could have hurt had it landed on him!
-
Gotta love maxwell. One hand one bounce of the roof!

I found it amusing he claimed it too!
Gayle yet another ton. 46 balls. A storm is a brewing
-
Maxwell is gonna have to fire today for kings xi to get near this!
-
They won't make it to gayle's score at this rate
-
Maxwell looks shot. Amazing what a year has done to the Kings xi!
-
Hales going to have a fun day bench warming for Mumbai.
-
If they lose today Mumbai. Be a lot of air miles for nothing going out there.
-
Hales not selected. Long way to go to pick up a cheque.
Mumbai have done that quite a few times, buying players and leaving them on the bench.
Simmons has gone well
-
Don't see Hales getting a match next game either with Simmons and McClenaghan doing well.
Waste of time him heading over to the IPL. Probably bought more tactical for next season instead of allowing another team to buy him
-
Hales only way in in injury.
Pollard wins them games with his catching. Can bat and bowl to boot.
Malinga and mclenagan doing the business with the ball. And Simmons avg 40 plus this year.
big money bench warming for hales.

AB using a Bubble (Bubble stickers) in today game versus the Royals.
