Title: The Razzle Dazzle League
Post by: FattusCattus on April 03, 2017, 01:39:00 PM

So when does this IPL business start, and which tellybox channel can I watch it on?

Anyone care to guess how many 'DLF maximum propelling missiles' there will be overall this year?

RCB majorly handicapped by the absence of Rahul and Sarfraz Khan. Had either of these two been fit, you could've squeezed Badree in instead of Head. RCB bowling looks rubbish

It's a big problem with ECB they like you to coach the book not the player. Lost count of the amount of times I've argued with ECB regional coaches about them trying to change people's actions or techniques when they are not harmful and working but not technically correct

A person comes in not correct but effective then coaches think I need to justify my wage I'll tinker Jimmy cook and others had technique changed by a coach then it went all over place then they went back to natural and never looked back

Smith Gayle malinga would never have made it in English game as would not have been picked until they corrected there technique which would have ruined them

What's unorthodox about Gayle's technique exactly?

I think the 'coaches change bowlers actions and ruin them' line is overplayed and doesn't actually ring that true. Yes it happened with Jimmy, has it happened since? Finn had to change to avoid knocking the stumps over, that's not trying to make him conform to the book. Woakes made changes to his action and has prospered because of it.

The way Gayle plays and positions he gets into is not English but I will concede farbrace and balis are more of the mold I like

Coach the player and encourage them to play there way as that's why you picked them

It is less at the top level than at regional and jr level as England seems to be the only country not to get unique or unorthodox players come through

Attitudes seem to be changing but will take a while

Gayle plays quite traditionally I think, likes to hit down the ground quite still at the crease has the requisites of most top players.

Smith behind all his movements is still for the best part and in truth because his hands and head are synched more than most can do what he does.

Both would have made it I think in English cricket.

Which batsman have the ECB changed ?????

We have a few dashers who play just not as good as other people dashers but we are getting there.

I think the ECB have changed the coaching syllabus I have seen shows more about the individuals game than the stiff upper lip(shoulder).

If people had meddled with them early on I'm not so sure

I have admitted the mood is changing but at the top level not so much at regional level or jnr level but I'm hoping the new philosophy will filter down

10-15 years ago when Gayle started he would have been told to play it on the ground and take his time or not picked if playing for England

Mindset has changed and the national side is benefitting from it

I have done quite a bit at regional level this winter and with a few juniors the philosophy is clear, work on natural talent and move from there it a very simple clear directive.

10-15 years ago England did not have players like that your correct but it not because it was coached out of them.

Go on any coaching course now and natural flare is openly talked about and encouraged but so are batting basics which both Gayle and Smith still use.

Post by: procricket on April 08, 2017, 12:50:28 PM
Cricket has changed all over the world as you know and I find coaching is in a good place at the minute at the levels I have seen and I find the new badged up level 2 and 3 are far more player power orientated.

When I was in Australia a decade ago there coaches where not much different to the Uk ones but the young players had role models like Hayden and Gilchrist.

We simply did not have the players until KP came along that was 10-15 years ago he got picked and he has never been from a coaching manual either in most respects.

The shorter formats are simply more popular with youngsters now and they try to copy it more.

England have picked in the past unorthodox players.

Fair enough can't really comment on other parts of world at lower stages but they just seemed to produce more unique players than we do

I do believe there was talent out there but it was not getting through our system but maybe they are looking differently now

Question has to be asked what's dhoni been doing last 2 games?? Nearly cost his side last game, had smith not saved them in the last over

Something is brewing between RPS owners and Dhoni. Goenka brothers have been ranting on twitter about Smith being a better replacement for Dhoni as a captain and today they called Dale Christian to be more valuable than Smith or Dhoni. Clearly the owners are barmy and they are going to squeeze MS out.

Last game, i think either MS or Smith would have got them through to the end. Smith clearly built the chase and i naturally expected MS to finish it off, but it was Smith all the way. MS game has certainly gone down in the last few years and the waning interest in RPS team might not be serving any motivation for him to perform well. They need a wicket keeper and he is the only one they have. They can't drop him can they? He will get his stock of money for this season and move on to another team next season  :D :D :D

Title: Re: The Razzle Dazzle League
Post by: sanredrose on April 09, 2017, 09:57:05 AM
Yep! But don't current sides still get first refusal on current players?

All teams except Gujarat Lions & RPS, would release most of their players but they would hold rights to retain their top 3 or 4 players. GL & RPS were replacement teams for CSK & RR, so they might have to end up releasing the whole team. GL & RPS also hold very less share in the money, something to do with their bidding contract. Even if they end up winning the IPL these two teams will take home less money when compared with one of the other six teams being the winner. So after this season RPS & GL teams might look at the feasibility of this business. If they decide to pull out then its back to regular outing with current teams plus CSK & RR.

More details would come out closer to next year's IPL auction. Until then its all guess work ...

Dead serious....until he got injured a couple seasons ago and missed almost a full shield season he was well on track to a test spot . Even now his first class stats are better than most aussies we have to pick from :
41 matches , 71 innings,  2743 runs , strike rate 55.87 , average 43.53 , highest score 250 , fifties 12 , hundreds 6 . Thats pretty damn decent . If you look at his technique it holds up well in the long form . All he needs is a season or two of uninterrupted first class games and his stats should keep improving .

really bad luck for Lynn - looked like he was just getting going and was going to have a big tournament.

will be interesting what KKR do - i mean Shakib will definitely come back into the side but he isn't a straight replacement for Lynn - the only other OS batter they have is Darren Bravo.

so they may have to go back to the unsold players, there is a couple of OS batters there that might be worth a shout - Klinger for example.
Title: Re: The Razzle Dazzle League

With regards to Lynn his highest fc score 250 was scored at the Gabba against Victoria. So must he be able to play a bit.

With regards to KKR, Shakib would probably be competing with Woakes as the all rounder. But Gambhir is also injured. So they need two openers

Gambhir never uses his sponsor's bat neither does he clean up the stickers properly. When he was with MRF, he used to have SG bat whose edge and side labels was never removed. You need to look at the bats a little closer - last year i had a chance to visit KKR practice sessions up close. Gambhir had bat with TON stickers but a GN logo on the edges and couple of other bats with Sunny Legend logo on the edge. Either way it wasn't a SS/TON bat!

RCB is gonna be competing with RPS for the last few spots in the table. Bowling attack seems weak. Mills & Chahal are the primary wicket takers and they didn't get to bowl in power play on other hand KXIP had Axar bowling against Watto the very first over, given his record against Watson. Ex-RCB bowler Varun Aaron was breathing fire and it was quite surprising to see RCB struggle against him. He would have bowled to them so many times in the nets while at RCB, not sure how they found it difficult to face him ...

Overseas batsmen who dont bowl a lot have a slim chance of getting a game. Faf, KW are good examples. Teams generally go with 2-3 batsmen rest are all rounders and bowlers.
In case of Pune and Hyderabad, the captain is overseas player and plays as a batsman.

Hmm I guess his is thicker spine down the toe?

My latest one with only 48mm edges looks fairly similar and the marked out bit on Gambhirs bat looks pretty sure like GN, must be custom for the subcontinent conditions.

Look like a halestorm shape to mine mine is similar to this shape

Not familiar with that shape mate so dunno.

Shinpathy - thats a bit closer but comparing the way both bats are angled in the photos thats still nowhere as extreme as the bat pictured. You might be right about something custom.

So finch misses this game because he's lost his kit bag! I'm sure a few forum members would've lent him some kit;). Surprising he didn't borrow his team mates kit

Jason Roy, international ODI and T20 opener. A good one at that.

Let's bat him at 6, behind some Indian youngster crawling to 11 off 14 balls following on from Raina crawling at a run a ball. Here have 7 balls Jason and don't forget you are only playing because Finch forgot his kit!

If I was him, I'd cancel my contract and get some County Championship cricket. What an utter waste.

Roy's drop probably cost his side the game today.

 I'm sure Roy doesn't mind bench warming as opposed to earning penies playing county cricket (if the ecb let him).
He's had a couple of chances and not taken them. Finch, Mccullum and smith have performed better. Agree that the line up was wrong today

Not sure the catch cost them the game, Rohit looked in pretty good nick. Him and Pollard might of taken the game away sooner. They don't look like an attack that can keep a team in check. Which makes it all the more odd that they weren't more aggressive with the bat. Dropping Roy down the order probably did cost them the match. No point being 4 down and missing out on another 20 runs, particularly when Roy and Jadeja pretty much stayed in the hutch. Almost like they were batting to orders?

Roy might earn pennies in county cricket but most cricketers prefer to play.

Bairstow - Never been to Yorkshire have you? They think they are a country by themselves. Not playing cricket is a crime enough at any level, but playing for somebody other than Yorkshire would be a shooting offence. Seeing a Yorkshireman in the IPL when Yorkshire are playing any form of cricket is as likely as Kim Jong Un having a cuddle with Trump.

Broad and Anderson are under orders to rest from the ECB. Broad played Big Bash as he had 6 months off,  unless the ashes tests are done next winter I can't see him repeating it.

Jason Roy gets in the region of £180k from England, probably £70-100k from Surrey, Big Bash plus endorsements. The £123k he gets from IPL benchwarming is very nice but I imagine it's not life changing. Most International cricketers in England earn £700k + endorsements, so unless you are Ben Stokes it's more about playing than the money. That said I imagine Stokes would also like a bit more time at the crease as well.

How do you get from 180+100 to 700? I think if international cricketers in England were getting 700k plus extras then the kidz would be well in to chasing a career in cricket!

I don't think anyone would turn down the chance for a 100k+ for only a moderate amount of work!

Last I heard the base salary for those on a central contract was around 700k I think before even taking into account match fees, sponsorships etc. Roy's obviously on the tier below being a limited overs specialist.

Think Gujarat and Delhi need to get more aggressive captains. Raina is a total waster no captaincy skills at all. Leaving out someone like Faulkner for his CSK buddy Dwayne Smith is a laughable selection.

Same with Zaheer Khan, masterful bowler but terrible captain. Karun Nair's been a walking wicket since that 303* yet when Delhi need quick runs Nair comes in ahead of Pant and Morris. And end up 20-30 runs short.

The ECB see Roy as a one day / 2020 International cricketer so it benefits the ECB for him to be developing his 2020 game rather than his 4 day batting.

Think Kohli's totally frazzled and his bowling choices showed today. Narine has shown he can destroy spinners and Kohli bowled Badree(whom Narine's played with for years). Unadkat bowled a maiden at Narine in the previous match with a concerted effort of bowling at Narine's body.

That said Narine was sensational clean hitting. Lynn looked like he'd never been away. Does anyone hit it harder in world cricket?

Amla played another remarkable innings and yet again lost.

Wow that was some finish! Extremely poor chase from Pune though, should've never gone down to the last over

Does this count as an "ipl winner" on buttlers  CV?


Or was it void by England making him leave and play golf in Spain?

Ben Stokes play of the tournament gets a shade under £12,000 and a trophy. Yuvraj Singh gets the same money and a car for hitting a glamorous six? Something ain't adding up...
