Default IPL 2013

No one else watching? I absolutely love this competition seeing the Worlds best players mixing it up.

As for Danny Morrison's commentary Not someone you could ever accuse of lacking enthusiasm.

Well as usual Mumbai Indians have an outstanding squad and should walk the competition but they never do and no one can work out why. For example they opened with Ponting and Tendulkar the other day and both were out with the score on 1 run! When would you ever put money on that happening!?

They still wiped the floor in that game scoring 210 runs. It's about time they came together and won the competition.

im quite surprised ponting being brought in as captain tbh, he has hardly scored a run so far.

they do have a very strong squad just seem to crumble when it matters most in previous years

Chris Gayle today was simply amazing to watch. 175 not out off 66 ***** The most destructive batting I have ever seen. Some of his shots were jaw dropping. This is why I love the 20/20 game. Out of his 17 sixes one went 119 metres ffs, it ended up on the stadium roof

Can't believe it's over already and nothing worth watching during the day. Chris Gayle is on for earning a packet next year as will Pollard and Bravo. 3 of the best players come from currently one of the weakest test nations.

Was good whilst it lasted.

As someone who's watched the vast amount of the IPL this year have you seen anything that was dubious going on ? I've read a couple of articles over the last couple of weeks with regards to corruption, throught the league and teams.

I've only just recently heard of all the allegations and it never crossed my mind during watching the games. But then the gamblers aren't so obvious as to throw a game but bet on things like no ***** and wides etc which to me I could never pick up on as being staged.
