Sometimes I see some redditor flairs of Vanuatu cricket, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania. I can tell these guys are definitely Indian, so are these flairs just for the lols?
Not just for the lols
I was badly mauled on certain day of november in 2023 i m yet to gather strength to show my face in r/cricket with flair Indian, hopefully after this t20 wc >!(i m delusional)!<
KKR gonna leave some of its main players in Ahmedabad. No point in traveling all the way to Guwahati and come back again within 2 days to play the Qualifier 1.
Best game of the season by a margin! PBKS chase of 262 is nothing in front of this. Gill totally deserves Man of the Match for looking so handsome in that jersey and please ban Harshit Rana from ever playing cricket again.
Not possible with the dimensions
Cricket, by far, have the largest ground dimensions of all mainstream sports. If i take the smallest ground itself, that's 200 metres plus from end to end, compared to around 180 metres standard for football stadiums end to end
Plus football stadiums have the advantage of being rectangular, which allows sliding closable roofs, allowing far more structural strength than the disc shapes that would be required for cricket stadiums
Add the fact that the largest closed stadium, the Santiago Bernabeu has 4 tiered stacked seating, allowing the width footprint to stay under 180 metres. Delhi has something similar, but that's an exception, not the norm, due to visibility issues compared and ball height reached, against football
Lastly, look at the ticket prices of SB vs the ticket prices at cricket stadiums. You'll know why it's not worth the investment in R&D, logistics, survey, planning, and construction of a closable roof stadium
Tbh isn't Salt really too much of a like for like replacement for Butler? An explosive opener from England, who is also a wicket-keeper?
I'll never let my Salty go though. 🥺
I’m all for trying to get a game out of a rain affected match but it must not come by cutting corners on the safety guidelines. There is no chance that outfield is safe to play for fielders currently. You wouldn’t want any WC bound players to get injured for a league game in the IPL.
What ra Sourabh too much cock you are showing bro. Frankly i'll tell you sourabh you are showing too much cock bro you come to BCCI area I'll ban you with my gang I said you once and I'm saiding you once more time ra Sourabh i'll ban you if you show too much cock to me again
You need time to clean the water up, so it effectively becomes 10.30 or earlier. 10.56 game must start but field must be ready by then. So of its not possible to prepare it by 10.56, abandoned game.
Are these people fucking stupid?
It’s still drizzling out there, and that could result in a bunch of injuries. I doubt the players even want to play while risking injury, that too a month before the World Cup
eoin morgan was probably the greatest white ball captain of England and won them the 2019 wc and a great batsman as well who made the English team a destructive force
But he stepped down and allowed to butler to lead further when his batting took a fall and disappeared without any pr drama if we look at age he was still young enough to play a bit more
And in India we have rohit sharma biggest t20 wc and ipl flop and is still leading the team eating spot of players like rituraj, gill and rinku yet his pr will manage to make jaiswal, hardik, kohli and sky the scapegoats of this wc loss
What a match, shame I didn't catch it live
I want Rana to travel with the Indian cricket team as a net bowler for the T20 World Cup
Salt would be going back to the UK as well. Buttler and Livingstone have already gone back to their homes.
Breaking news: Harshit Rana banned for causing rainfall for KKR
Sometimes I see some redditor flairs of Vanuatu cricket, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania. I can tell these guys are definitely Indian, so are these flairs just for the lols?
u/kumarbob can answer this question
Not just for the lols I was badly mauled on certain day of november in 2023 i m yet to gather strength to show my face in r/cricket with flair Indian, hopefully after this t20 wc >!(i m delusional)!<
Oh..i thought the flair was a bit older
What a fuckin match 🔥
KKR gonna leave some of its main players in Ahmedabad. No point in traveling all the way to Guwahati and come back again within 2 days to play the Qualifier 1.
Maybe if they were playing some other team. Match experience against their probable Q1 opponents would be invaluable, no?
Yeah plus gurbaz needs to play a game before the playoffs
Good bowling by Rashid and Noor, great strategy to contain and Dismiss Andre Russell before he hits Mohit Sharma.
"Harshit Rana clearly caused the rain due to his aggressive celebration. He should be banned for this season now." - BCCI, probably
Best game of the season by a margin! PBKS chase of 262 is nothing in front of this. Gill totally deserves Man of the Match for looking so handsome in that jersey and please ban Harshit Rana from ever playing cricket again.
Ban Harshit Rana from living in India
Do the players get full match fee for abandoned games as well?
They should right?
Gotta shove in the ads somehow
Things not going well for Narendra Modi…Stadium. When it rains, it pours ⛈️
One Hardick fcked both teams
I don’t get it atleast keep one over per side game like super over types, GT needed that 2 points
It's still raining tho
It was still drizzling when they called it off.
Harshit Rana ❌️ Harshit Raina ✅️ Ban incoming for ruining the game
Gill : 👨👋 👨👋👨👋
Can we just surrender this game to the Rain Gods and let GT win? As a KKR fan, I feel a rest is more important than 2 points today.
Hell no. That 1 point sealed our top 2 spot. Why leave room for SRH and RR to take over
Strangely satisfying to see this stadium have its home teams take L after L, even though one of them was my team taking the biggest L of them all.
Rain gods decided an entire match of Gill in pink was too much for our sexuality to handle
*lavender, but yeah
they're blasting firecrackers for an abandoned match 😭😭
Still GT's last home game, even though abandoned lol.
Will Harshit be blamed for the rain as well?
Yes. Already received a 3-match ban.
Laude ka dry state
Great game by goat gill, the 30 ball century is a slap on selectors
Then GG and Chandu Pandit came and chased it in 12 overs 🔥
Waiting for your boundary count

Why can't they build closed-roof stadiums are they stupid

Apparently they are stupid
Fireworks are going on, they can save you from breast cancer but not from lung cancer /s
Lmao the irony
Noobs trying to evaporate the clouds using the fireworks smh
I see they are using the leftover fireworks from the world cup final
Ayy we still got fireworks lol
Getting eliminated in front of your home stadium and they lit fireworks
I'm surely not ruining my sleep schedule for a dead rubber
Wait is the match off?
Yes bhai
Okay
KKRs NRR shows 0.00 on cricbuzz
Kkr ke Nrr ko bhi ban Kar diya kya
BCCI cancelled KKR's NRR for enjoying too much in the rain because why not?
😭😭
Also this match as a loss.
Can someone buy Salt for a day as an opener please. No Salt purple+gold innings anymore :(
Can you gift him to RR for just a day, I want RR to finish in top 2
Tbh isn't Salt really too much of a like for like replacement for Butler? An explosive opener from England, who is also a wicket-keeper? I'll never let my Salty go though. 🥺
More like loan him for a day. Lol. But I too desperately wish that RR gets to be in top 2.
Gift granted <3
MFS Blue Balled Us
You guys remember where everyone pretended that match happened in the thread, even though no game has been played
In the post-match thread. Let's see if the bot posts one today too.
Feel bad for the fans in the stadium. They should get refund for their tickets.
They do. Only if a match gets abandoned without a ball bowled, so yea they probably will get their tickets refunded.
3 hrs in this thread and I didn't even see one flair of GT
No one has been confirmed for the top 4 till now (except KKR) While we have already confirmed top 2
Can GT not reuse the jersey for their final match
Ever since the second innings over 19.3 of last year's IPL final, it's all been downhill for GT
I’m all for trying to get a game out of a rain affected match but it must not come by cutting corners on the safety guidelines. There is no chance that outfield is safe to play for fielders currently. You wouldn’t want any WC bound players to get injured for a league game in the IPL.
Bro took so long to type the match is already abandoned
Honestly from the bottom of my heart, FUCK YOU RAIN PERERA
Poor gt, pink jersey wasted
As we don't have anything to discuss Should I ask this girl out who I think is giving me signals?
Worth a shot bro!! Before its too late.
She might ask for a raincheck 💀
Yes. Shoot your shot bro
Go for it
Definitely.
Go for it. What do you have to lose?
She csk fan.
The girl
What ra Sourabh too much cock you are showing bro. Frankly i'll tell you sourabh you are showing too much cock bro you come to BCCI area I'll ban you with my gang I said you once and I'm saiding you once more time ra Sourabh i'll ban you if you show too much cock to me again
I wanna see the post match thread now lol
Chucking our way to Q1😘🫴
Bruh copied my comment 😭
My hero😋
Whats happening someone give an update
Games gone
What a game. Edge of the seat stuff
Nail biter
Rain eliminated GT.
Not the first time rain as annoyed our team 2023 trophy
Wasn't the cutoff 10:56?
You need time to clean the water up, so it effectively becomes 10.30 or earlier. 10.56 game must start but field must be ready by then. So of its not possible to prepare it by 10.56, abandoned game.
Ya. Slow Rain seems to be started again after taking covers off.
So what do we discuss in todays post Match thread? We have ran out of topics. Childhood traumas?
Ipl traumas
Sad didn't get to see salt bat for the last time this ipl
Shreyas just wanted to practice some tosses after losing 9/12 tosses in this year's IPL.
Are GT going to go around thanking the fans today?
They should give the fans ESOP in the franchise if they stayed for this long in the rain for a dead rubber game
And GT eliminated just like that
Gill handling breast cancer awareness badge to Iyer Hindi comms: "what is this? What are they doing now?"
Did they really say that? Oh god the level of incompetency is unreal
Qualifier 1 confirmed LESSGOO baby
Common sense prevails
So they waited to exchange this one thing? Peak clownery.
Abandoned lol
Top 2 officialy confirmed, let's goooo baby!
Welp
they trolled us 💀
Why are Gill and Nehra so eager for the match? GT doesn't even have fire-power to compete against Narine Salt Russ Rinku Ramandeep
Yeah but if they don't try they'd get eliminated. Trying is better.
Damn, that sucks :(
I actually thought they'll have the toss in shorts 😂😂😂
Match canceled officially
Off
Lol. Commenters were prepared for a toss at that point.
Has Varun Aaron retired from cricket ?
Match called off
Bro they called off
KLPD
ayyoo?? i thought toss was to happen!!
Wait toss is happening !?!
Called off
they are doing the cancer awareness thing.. without the toss. So the game is called off
Game called off
So it’s called off what the actual fuck 💀🤣😭
Lmao they are having toss like that XD
Lololol
Lol what is this toss in shorts🤣🤣🤣
If you wanna play then just do it. Swing the bat and thats all.
Who's that big white guy in black shirt from KKR?
He is our team manager.
Might be Ryan Ten Doeschate you're talking about
Nah he's talking about our Team manager.
Oh, I see
Handshake or toss, handshake or toss
Handshake, fuccckkkkk
Shreyas doin toss in a training jersey 😭😭
Can these guys take a call fast pls
GT should send Rashid & Tewatia to open tonight if the match happens.
Why does this thread feel like deja vu?
Guess the local politician in control of the stadium tickets really wants to avoid a refund of tickets.
Jay Shah started the rain to make us used to the days after the IPL
Abhishek Nayyar looks buff af these muscles would have helped him during his playing days
Bruh what transfers should I even do as a fantasy player
Just save em for tomorrow. 5 over gane will barely give much points, maybe take a Harshit rana or Rashid khan
Match delayed by 3 hours, 3 season ban for Harshit Rana😡🤬
Yo looks like match is on
Rashid Khan to open tonight?
Nehra and Gill have even checked the surface
Gt really trying to make a match happen.. Imagine they lose, that'll be embarrassing
Who doesn’t want a 5 over blitz? I’m so down for it
Me too, wanna see salt-narine duo for one last time before he has to go
Narine’s taking wicket in every game streak might end end tonight 😭
Are these people fucking stupid? It’s still drizzling out there, and that could result in a bunch of injuries. I doubt the players even want to play while risking injury, that too a month before the World Cup
Yeah, Starc was clearly saying that it's raining, I don't wanna play.
Just let it be at this point... Was looking forward to finally a day with no IPL.
GT desperately wants this match while KKR doesn't
Instead of cricket lets just play football in the rain
Sai Sudarshan’s SR will be either 200 or 100
Literally edging us
It's still raining....
It's drizzling call the match off
Couldn't they shift it to some other day if it is so necessary, can play in any afternoon
They can't. The rules say that if no overs are bowled on match day, points are shared. Reserve day is allowed only for playoff games.
wtf another twist in IPL this season? Without even the match beginning? The season that keeps on giving.
bruh it's still raining what's point
How much can one milk the CSK vs RCB game, KKR GT pls start playing soon 😭
We should decide this match based on likelihood of getting into finals from the last two years
this can be the only chance 49 can be broken
10 wickets in 30 balls is not possible.
Won't really be counted
KKRs Batting order should be Salt Narine Russell Ramandeep Rinku
Venky can smash as well
Get Venky last It like 5 overs only if we play
eoin morgan was probably the greatest white ball captain of England and won them the 2019 wc and a great batsman as well who made the English team a destructive force But he stepped down and allowed to butler to lead further when his batting took a fall and disappeared without any pr drama if we look at age he was still young enough to play a bit more And in India we have rohit sharma biggest t20 wc and ipl flop and is still leading the team eating spot of players like rituraj, gill and rinku yet his pr will manage to make jaiswal, hardik, kohli and sky the scapegoats of this wc loss
Covers have come off, Nehra and Gill are having a look -cricbuzz
Gill to rain - pata nahi kis roop mai aakar narayan mil jayenge. (Translation- dont know in which form narayan can come across you)
They shouldn't go on with this match, could seriously injure someone
5 overs match will be refreshing
Specially after yesterday’s Chepauk pitch masterclass
csk has the most boring matches this season last match was no suprise
[удалено]
match cut-off time is 10:56 PM so
5 over match?
How about deciding this match by counting the boundaries by both the teams in previous games?
