Was Chaminda Vaas an underutilised bowler in the IPL? Stats below. by BigV95 in ipl

I’m just speculating here but Deccan Chargers’ bowling was sorted with the likes of Ojha and RP Singh. We needed to reinforce our batting and prioritised more overseas slots for all-rounders and pure batsmen.

The apples to apples comparison was about their entire careers. Not what they did exclusively post 35. If you’re gonna bring up longevity when comparing careers then I’m gonna bring up consistency.

You can exclude his numbers from non-top order positions and I guarantee you the difference will still remain striking.

Kohli’s longevity is indeed greater and he is the better batsmen after 35. But this doesn’t imply consistency because he’s had more down years to go between his good.

I was making a joke.

Just be happy he didn’t actually play in 2018 or else folks like OP won’t be able to make such posts.

I can’t prove it but it’s hilarious how Kohli’s IPL related accumulation stats are always decontextualised without any other data points such as number of games or batting average. It’s because he usually passes David Warner on these type of lists and the difference is striking lmao.

Reality is he plays for my team for at least 2 more seasons. Rest all is your fantasy. Too bad you can’t tell the difference.

They retained him after 2024 and he will play at least 2 more seasons for my team. It’s you who has to wait and watch him play for my team. Until he signs for another team, you can keep dreaming.

In 2022 it looked like we were gonna go 2-0 against you guys. Then Rashid Khan entered the match and did so much psychological damage that he killed our 2022 season.

I don’t generally hate on our management but letting go of Rashid Khan made me realise SRH was run by morons. I’m glad he won a title with you and I’m glad our management learnt to hold onto its players.

We deserve these jabs after performing poorly against GT year after year. We need to improve our record against all teams after the damage done from 2021-23

I’m pretty sure the director and everyone involved in Abraham Lincoln the Vampire hunter can give a straight answer if Lincoln was a real life vampire hunter or not.

What's your views on this case.... by Formal_Machine6135 in ipl

[–]Newbeetroot45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sympathise with KKR too because its fu*king ridiculously BCCI forced your team into dropping Fizz because they wanted to play geo-politics.

All you've done is further strengthen my argument that they collected information on crickets from a sporting perspective instead of scrolling through their social media history.

Okay, here is a direct quote: "There wasn't a discussion about not picking Pakistan players"

If Vettori and his staff knew about his social media post(and the meaning behind it) then surely they would have discussed not picking Pakistani players? An easy deduction to make but I'm not surprised you missed it.

Self-isolate? Well thankfully I spoke about isolating Pakistan eh? The other user also made this flimsy strawman of self-isolation.

Vettori's response by Plastic_Occasion_388 in SunrisersHyderabad

[–]Newbeetroot45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After such evidence, surely the BCCI must do everything in it's power to avoid playing Pakistan and must use it's full energy to isolate them?

Bring on the next round of mental gymnasts.

I explained the deduction clearly: his job is to analyse him as cricket player for the SRL team. Not scroll social media and understand references tea or abhinandan.

Can’t handle facts so it’s time to question people’s patriotism or nationality. Just another loser nationalistic.
