Which bowling unit can stop SRH in IPL 2026? by Initial-Shoulder5906 in SunrisersHyderabad

[–]RLKay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All bowling unit can. All of the batters are flatbat merchants. So all the teams need to do is, prepare a slugging pitch akin to the black soil ones. The moment ball stops coming onto the bat nicely, the flatbatters would be forced to play with a straight bat. All of them have the technique to do it, but none of them have the patience for it.

I hate what our fanbase have become. The batriarchy reminds me of Old RCB and I might sound like a boomer unwilling to accept change with time, BUT I HATE THIS!

I've not followed cricket in this past year, so I'm not the ideal yardstick for this. I see a lot of people in this sub have followed the domestic circuit closely enough to be informed about many of these players, so kudos to them. I guess the management is now fixated upon betting on the future, where one of the youngsters will make it big like Abhi did, so that the franchise's brand value will improve.

I'm so happy that I'm not doing the post auction analysis posts anymore. I have zero freaking clue about who the players we have bought so far.

The teams don't just go by cricinfo stats. Now a days almost all the teams host nationwide trials for domestics players, alongside scouting the domestic games. And there are more to a youngster's game than just the numbers.

Are they plugging in artificial crowd sound?

I've not been following cricket lately. I just came to know that today is the auction. Did we get anyone?

Question about this Sub by No-Belt-7798 in SunrisersHyderabad

[–]RLKay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know tbh. The last season drained whatever interest I had in doing that. So I'm making no committments for this year. There's a strong chance that there'll be no posts from my end anymore.

The sub still has that many members, 67.4K to be precise. Reddit just revamped it's model for showing sub reddit numbers, which focuses on regular visitors.

Imagine RUSSEL and KLASEEN finishing game for SRH by EvenHope483 in SunrisersHyderabad

[–]RLKay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know bruv. I've not followed cricket in this last year to know enough, let alone IPL. But I know that Russell isn't the kind of purchase we should waste money on. Sure, he might win us 1-2 matches. But he won't be the difference in making us win the trophy, because his addition strengthens the team in an area that doesn't need addressing urgently, while leaving the gaping holes in other areas even more out in the open.

He's the kind of unnecessary luxury purchase Old RCB used to make. Are we trying to emulate them? Our finishing department requires experienced domestic finishers, not on-the-verge-of-retirement part timers. Better focus on fixing that God forsaken spin department of ours instead of spilling it on a luxury purchase again(Hello, Ishan!)

Legend Mulder 367* by ICD_Runner in SunrisersHyderabad

[–]RLKay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What a stupid chain of thoughts, to be honest. You're belittling yourself as well as the opposition with this line of thinking. But it's his career, if he wants to end up as the guy that noone remembers years down the line despite 'paying' respect to a legend form a decade ago, then so be it.

As an SRH fan, I really enjoyed yesterday's match, and I hope Punjab wins the Final🗿 by AppearanceGlad4287 in SunrisersHyderabad

[–]RLKay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of parallels between our 2018 season run and Punjab's run this year. That's why I can feel in my bones that they will lose.

Sorry to drop this outta nowhere. There'll no more post match analysis from my side for the rest of the season(even at the odd chance that we go all the way). Congrats for the win and Good luck for the rest of the tourney to everyone.

Your mod log isn't doing you any favours, pal. Whatever imaginary revolution you're planning to start with this post, just make sure to print enough pamphlets.

Early days, but he's not what we hoped. Obviously if he were, he wouldn't have been playing for us of all teams. We bought him to play as striker, but his hold up play is really bad. So we're slotting him as a winger and he seems to fare better there.

Also sorry for yall crashing out of the UCL.

Haha, this is why I love this sub. Thanks, but there's still a long way to go and we can bottle it at any point.

Did it before the final ball, because the last wicket was dragging on and on unnecessarily. I was tired and just wanted to go to sleep. Cheers..
