Guess this counts as an upset

[Premchand1976]

Good win to level series.....I often wonder tho....if teams do this to ensure spectator turn out throughout series and to maximise profitability ? Whether it's Australia, England, WI, India etc etc. I think if the series is won too early , ticket sales drop drastically ?

What y'all think ?

[*$kїđž!™]

Premchand...arent u the same guy who was fighting it down for the cpl when we suggested it was all.about ticket sales....

[Premchand1976]

Fighting it down ???? I believe I said the cost was too high.......not sure if that's fighting it down ?????

I don't think so...especially when Aussies, England and India(especially India) involved....just have a look at the ongoing India series....no matter the outcome of the series(even if determined up front after a couple games) stadium will be filled...On the first day of the boxing day test match, place be ram crammed...I already reserved my seat in front the TV for this test match

IPL is great and all but its also a racket. bCant understand how kharry pierre and ali khan weren't picked and a guy who only took 11 wickets last year in jaydev unadkat was the highest paid indian cricketer

[fokhan_96]

And kharry pierre probably better bowler than narine now ...

B/c Unadkat is Indian.
It stands to reckon an Indian league will buy even mediocre players (his price is a mystery though) over foreigners.

CPL has some similarities - Last year with all the big name players in the auction Amazon Warriors bought and played with great frequency Gajanand Singh!!

Trinidad played Beaton in the past 2 CPLs and would have played him again this year if he wasn't injured but the man averages 40+ runs per wicket and 8.36 run per over in the 21 matches he has played for TKR.

Bangladesh made a big score in the 2nd T20 this morning - 211-4.
Would take some chasing for a side with no Pollard, DreRuss etc. (While typing this Evin Lewis was dismissed)

Well discounting the behaviour of the players and fans.
Kohli IMO has crossed the boundary of being arrogant to being disrespectful and Tim Paine hasn't exactly been a hoot either.
On the Aussie side fans had to be thrown out for racist behaviour in this match and some of their commentators were fairly condescending to some Indian players.

India on top after day 1 of test 4

Real plenty cricket going on
Apart from that match SL and NZ had an ODI thriller last night 371 and 326 were the scores with a man taking 34 off an over. Flow Sports had that match advertised but when I checked they were showing a Women's Big Bash match instead.

And currently SA has bowled out Pakistan for 177 and 65-1
