Correct. But they should day it. He no try nothing different real waste a bowling

In reply to positiveg
Mi just laughing at Jeremy - he een gwin seh it

In reply to Chrissy

Fun fact both the bowler and batter are from Uttar Pradesh where a large part of our Indo ancestors are from so they could’ve easily been Trini, Guyanese, or even Jamaican or I guess that doesn’t count!!!!

In reply to WIfan26
Just like one of my BILs peeps but dat een have a ting to do wid Jeremy's bias on all matters

In reply to Chrissy

Yea fair point lol

In reply to WIfan26

Kamla Persad Bissessar’s relatives are in Bihar….

Exciting cricket in the premier T20 tournament. Haters are displaying their bias.

Yes the UP guy did it 5 consecutive sixes. Bad bowling or not he still had to time the ball well to clear the boundry so i would say great hitting.

In reply to Overthrow

Is just fear of meritocracy- bajans and Guyanese believe in an unalienable right…
As the doctor might say…. What would he say- the batter and the allrounder are both in the IPL

Not too many players have hit 5 consecutive sixes in their career.

In reply to Jeremy

This wrankles the usual suspects. When Polly hit the six sixes they were beside themselves with jealousy.

In reply to Barry

Their utter disdain for achievement by their non homies are despicable.

In reply to Barry
inalienable right

In reply to Narper
Onry was the first but Jeremy een know dat.

Who is Dayal????

In reply to StumpCam

The IPL has implemented innovation to T20 cricket. The game is changing, leaving the naysayers stuck in a time warp. Players have found ways to up their game with batting, bowling and fielding. We are seeing cricket improvements in players never before imagined. The time warp crew are unable to comprehend what is happening.

In reply to Chrissy

You ever hear about yuvraj singh. He hit 6 monsters in one over.

In reply to Jeremy
Yuvi was a very good cricketer. I really don't follow di IPL stats. Is Yuvi the only one with six?

In reply to Dukes
Full tosses and half trackers get wickets too,the thing is the batsman has to be certain that it goes for six,just one miss hit and the "fix"is off.

In reply to Overthrow

Preach

In reply to Overthrow

Are you so fcuking stupid and gullible to actually believe that the shitfest you’re watching isn’t influenced, governed, and controlled by the Mindian bookies and Mindian mafia?

Corruption permeates itself in every aspect of Indian society but you dumbasses somehow believe that the T20 licket circus is the one spectacle which is incorruptible and the matches are clean.

In reply to SnoopDog

I see more corruption here especially in The OECS

In reply to SnoopDog

And your proof is?
Your narrow minded ignorance. Naysayers like yourself are unable to accept a successful model born from a different region and innovate approach.

In reply to Overthrow

The first quote prompted the 2 responses I think.
If that is correct then it really is quite a leap.

Who is being hated? and why?

I must admit that neither the bowler nor the batsman in those last 5 balls are familiar to me.I had never heard of them and indeed I would be surprised if many people on this board knew them before this match.They are certainly not household names.

As has been pointed out putting away full tosses and half-trackers is not a given and kudos to the batsman for doing so.However it is astonishing that at this level in the last over with 5 balls to defend 28 runs the bowler concedes 30 which is the maximum possible with 5 terrible balls.It is not as though he bowled any length balls which disappeared.He bowled 5 atrocious balls in succession to lose the game.
Your response was not only to dismiss the observation that raised the possibility of a fix is one thing but to suggest that my observation was due to malfeasance was itself ridiculous as if you are saying that the IPL is so pure that any possible speculation as to such a possibility is impossible.I remind you of the circumstances whereby Marlon Samuels was suspended back in the day.
I have no proof and never suggested I did.
Maybe on reflection you might want to revise your remarks.

In reply to Dukes

I recall a WC T20 final where four consecutive balls were hit for six in the final over. Are you suggesting the fix “was in” for that final? I have watched the most successful T20 bowler, Dwayne Bravo, mesmerize world class batsmen with dipping and wide of the off stump full tosses for many years. Get out of your bias towards a successful and innovative model from a region you despise.

I agree-West Indians are a weak people . . . No West Indian was involved here.

In reply to Overthrow

I did not suggest a fix because of the fact that 5 sixes were hit off successive balls.I suggested a fix was a possibility because there were 3 full tosses and 2 half-trackers.


The above statement is completely irrelevant since this bowler is no Dwayne Bravo and you seem to be suggesting that he deliberately bowled full tosses and hoped to have the same outcome as Bravo sounds like arguing out of two sides of your mouth.You have to decide whether he attempted to bowl 3 Yorkers or length balls and inadvertently bowled 3 full tosses or he was channeling Bravo.If it was the latter he needs to be admitted to an asylum because without the requisite skills to bowl dipping full tosses for him to attempt that is pure madness


It is amazing how you guys hurl invective and insults at people you do not know without the benefit of a shred of evidence.

In reply to Overthrow

Almost every fcuking year the Mumbai police investigate spot fixing and match fixing at the IPL involving fixers which are well known to them.

In 2013 they discovered that most of the matches were “compromised” to some extent. A well known fixer even named Dhoni as one of his players.

Only you naive dumbasses believe that the shitfest you’re looking at is legit just because they throw some table scraps at some West Indians.

The moment I hear about some new Mickey Mouse “innovation” being used at this tournament I know it’s some new innovative way to spot fix or match fix dreamed up by the bookies.

Anyways, y’all enjoy the WWE of lickit cricket. A sucker is born every minute.

In reply to Dukes

Ahhh, so there are no potential future stars who can emulate these previous stars. Your thought process reminds me of England who refused to participate in World Cup football as they considered their players and style superior to anyone else’s. when they were humiliated by Hungary at home, realization set in.

In reply to Overthrow

I honestly do not understand what the above means.I would be grateful if you could explain what you are talking about.

In reply to SnoopDog

Sports betting in the U.S. and England is well developed in areas where concerns arise constantly. I am certain you are aware that the injury list in U.S. sports are listed publicly for bookies interest. Should there not be concerns that there may be some bad actors in the IPL, certainly. At least there are investigations. Not as transparent in those two other countries. Stop your foolishness and deal in reality. You hate the model, innovation and the region of the league.

In reply to SnoopDog

so snoopy dem dogs?

In reply to Dukes

Thought you were knowledgeable, did not think you needed a roadmap. Get out of your time warp.

In reply to Overthrow

Dude, are you so fcuking thick you don’t know the difference between sports betting and match fixing?

No wonder you believe IPL matches are legit.

In reply to SnoopDog

I must assume you are unaware of the world you live in. There are fixes in Tennis, Football, American Football, Baseball, Basketball etc. All in the open in Europe and the U.S. however your blindness is inherent in your ignorance. Your hatred for successful models in different regions have been well programmed by environmental Western media indoctrination.

In reply to Overthrow

In reply to Overthrow

Well there we have it.

You really are that thick and stupid.

In reply to Overthrow

In view of the fact that you refuse to explain yourself,I am forced to make some assumptions which may or may not be accurate.
It seems as though you are suggesting that the bowler decided to bowl full tosses deliberately and hope to achieve good results if those full tosses were "dipping full tosses"
You would have noticed there were animated discussions with captain Rashid Khan and also David Miller and I would be astounded if the bowler told his captain of such a strategy.

You do not know me and there is no reason for me to disabuse you of exactly why that statement is completely inappropriate to be applied to me and what I have been doing for the past 9 years with one non-profit organization and 3 years previously with another.Even in my former day job,I was the lead person in advising and implementing innovative techniques and strategies for a heath care company and various leadership positions in both Guyana and New Jersey.

In reply to SnoopDog
I’m with you but with one caveat.
The laws of cricket were written because of the gambling in English cricket.
Gambling and cricket have been linked for eons.

In reply to Chrissy

There’s gambling and there’s match fixing/spot fixing.

The IPL is firmly in the domain of the latter.

In reply to Chrissy

I still find it incredulous that there are people out there that believe all these so-call innovations are not connected to spot fixing and match fixing when it’s so patently obvious.

Allan Stanford should be a lesson to all.
These leagues are like wrestling, just for entertainment purposes.

In reply to Dukes

Hence the reason I am even more surprised by your dogmatic adherence in insinuating that change has to be avoided, strategy is one dimensional. And as such any deviation infers “a fix”. Like it or not, changes are occurring and will continue in the future.

In reply to Overthrow

The Mindians could wrap some shit up in tin foil and sell it to you for $19.95 if you order within the next 5 minutes as quantities won’t last.

In reply to SnoopDog

With your colourful language, you have established you are a moron. I encourage you to pen your views publicly under your name, it would make for an exciting process in the annals of slander.

In reply to Overthrow

Go watch your IPL Bro.

It’s real if you believe it’s real. Just like your favourite imaginary friend.

In reply to SnoopDog

I certainly will continue to watch and follow the IPL ravenously. I enjoy exciting cricket played by some of the best players in the world.

In reply to Overthrow

Don't use it for illegal means or benefit from the poor off of it.

In reply to Overthrow

WOW!!!!
Change has to be avoided???? My dogmatic adherence??

Clearly you are mistaking me for someone else.I do like test cricket but recognize the cut and thrust of T 20 cricket and I understand the strategies which elude many people in understanding what stats are important in this form of cricket.I study these things carefully.I love maths and as a result I do all sorts of calculations and delve deeply into many matches so I know what is important and what is not.I have my own calculations to determine impact on specific games in T 20 cricket.I am fascinated by the matrices looking at attacking shots played by various players in terms of percentages etc.etc.The notion that I am sticking dogmatically to old school ideas is indeed laughable.



A man bowling 3 full tosses and 2 half-trackers does not qualify as a new strategy of bowling.It is just poor bowling .

In reply to openning

Cronje did fix test matches?

In reply to SnoopDog
I have a neighbour from India and he is beyond concerned about both di fixing and di gambling

In reply to openning
NO - money making by any means necessary

All this noise over a fixing league?

Didn't some of the franchise owners get ban for fixing? Teams banned and players too?

Couple seasons now since I watched an entire IPL match... Most times I just tune in to see the WI players bat or bowl.

In reply to anthonyp

That sums up the IPL perfectly!!! I’m glad our players can make a living but I just find it extremely boring even though I’m a big fan of Indian cricket it’s just not that exciting and certainly seems fixed!!!

In reply to Overthrow

Note the language

In reply to Dukes

By a mere coincidence, previously unknown Rinku Singh has a new Swiss bank account.

In reply to Chrissy
These people don't care who toes are stepped on, it is all about them.
I followed the four sixes, turn it off.
It is all about the ending, fans will return to see the coninuation, people are being brain wash .

I believe in god, not man/woman.

Very funny thread

Naysayers pontificating all over the thread and conveniently ignoring the delicious irony that they applaud Shai Hope for signing with the historically and still racist Yorkshire cricket club.

Not to mention the rampant corruption in CWI and regional cricket boards over the years.

Dey livin in glass houses yet lookin to throw stones at IPL

Then Dukes carrying on about the bowler bowling full tosses and short balls that got deposited in the stands.

We ALL know that pressha Buss pipe. Death bowling is not for everyone. I don’t know the bowler. I too have never heard of him before. Maybe he’s inexperienced bowling at the death.

But we know even the best death bowlers get taken for significant runs. Dwayne Bravo is seen as one of wh best exponents of death bowling in the game. Didn’t prevent him from getting significant stick.

One of the popular strategies and instructions to bowlers is to bowl full and wide. Bowlers miss their lengths. The more they miss their lengths, the more they try to compensate. Dukes outlined all his expertise in the “nuances” of the T20 game. A self proclaimed expert. Yet he chose to go down the path of the bowler deliberately bowling deliveries so the other team could end up winning.

He didn’t even factor in that this was the 2nd game played for the day and the last innings…..where dew is often a factor for the bowling side.

They just exposing themselves

In reply to imusic
I will call a Spade a Spade, with some respect, Shai had plenty of time to score a ton on Saturday.

In reply to imusic

It was the first game of the day. Stop exposing yourself.

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

Yeah….I was wrong about that. I don’t have an issue admitting when I’m wrong.

Dispute the other points

In reply to imusic

The man bowled 3 consecutive full tosses followed by 2 half-trackers.It is not just that he got hit for 5 consecutive sixes.It is that he bowled 5 consecutive poor deliveries.It was Overthrow who introduced the topic about "dipping full tosses" a la Bravo to suggest that maybe this bowler was channeling Bravo and it was deliberate.



When a man bowls 5 consecutive bad balls to cause a world record, then it is not unreasonable to wonder whether something is amiss.The fact that WISDEN used the term "Heist" might have gone over your head but it did not go over mine.Of course we have zero proof but it certainly has crossed not only my mind but I am sure countless others. My words were that a man bowling 3 full tosses and 2 half trackers in 5 consecutive deliveries might suggest a FIX.






On the weekends there are two games played in different cities.The first one is at 6AM EST and the second at 10AM EST.During the week there is only 1 game and that starts at 10AM.The game in question began at 6AM EST so I do not understand what you are talking about.Was dew a factor in this match? Were the bowlers constantly using towels to dry off the ball? Maybe my TV did not show what the music man saw.
He is pointing fingers at me but as de ole peeps seh,TREE POINTING BACK AT HE.

In reply to Dukes

What does EST have to do with the time of day the game Played in India?

Was the game played somewhere in India that is EST?

I also admitted my error. Dew may not have been a favor. Pressure certainly was.

In reply to imusic

The real irony is that the IPL has over the years earned its reputation as the premier league for spot fixing and match fixing and the gullible fools are left with the burden of proving that the incredulous achievement of Rinku Singh wasn’t fixed.

In reply to imusic

The games that begin at 6AM EST are invariably described by the commentators as AFTERNOON GAMES while those at 10AM EST are called NIGHT GAMES and thus it is very relevant.

The fact that you tried to talk about dew showed your duplicity in that you did not see any evidence of dew with the players struggling and using towels to keep the ball dry.You just threw that out hoping that it might gain traction.Not all night games are affected by dew so even if it were a night game you needed to see the players bringing out the towels to dry the ball before you could use that argument.

In reply to Dukes

Lol. You entrenched. It was fixed. Without a shred of evidence.

Carry on Mr Expert

In reply to openning

You believe in racism is what… Burnham was from India

In reply to SnoopDog

You have no evidence of spot fixing in the IPL

In reply to imusic

I strongly suspect that you saw neither IPL match played yesterday while they were being played.

Video of Rinku Singh 5 sixes in the final over

Replay on now, watch the carnage by Rinku. This boy could bat.

In reply to Jeremy

Bro Jeremy, I'm willing to wager that you never paid anywhere close to as much attention to the "Remember The Name" incident.

You didn't even show up on this short-lived thread.

Remember the Name!

Having seen the video for the first time I can’t take anything away from the batsman, he can only deal with what is in front of him!
However, that has got to be the worst death over by a bowler I’ve ever witnessed at this level. That is what you call a pie thrower!

In reply to Chrissy


19.6
Yash Dayal to Rinku Singh, SIX, would you believe this! He has done it. He has actually done it! 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 from Rinku Singh when the game looked gone! He knew it immediately after making contact that it was going out of the ground! Oh what scenes out there in the middle as the IPL witnesses one of the most dramatic finishes in its rich history. Slower short ball again, Rinku waits for it and just like he did the previous ball, flat-bats it down the ground for six!

19.5
Yash Dayal to Rinku Singh, SIX, unbelievable stuff from Rinku! Extraordinary! Dayal tries a slower one now off the back of his hand, and it sits up from a short of length. Rinku waits for it and flat-bats down the ground over long-on. It's down to 4 off 1!
Rashid and Miller are in Dayal's ear now. 10 needed off 2. He's bowled three full tosses in a row to Rinku and has disappeared for three sixes. Pressure on!

19.4
Yash Dayal to Rinku Singh, SIX, oh Rinku Singh! Is this on or what! Another full toss from Dayal and Rinku whacks it over the long-off boundary
19.3

Yash Dayal to Rinku Singh, SIX, well, it's not over yet. Dayal offers another full toss, this time on the pads and Rinku whips it over backward square for six more

19.2
Yash Dayal to Rinku Singh, SIX, full toss outside off, and Rinku latches onto it! He reaches out and hammers it over extra cover for six! Just need four more of these!
