IPL 2016

This is my first year actually following the IPL in detail from the start. How does choosing the international players work? Why isn't someone like Root in there but his teammates are? Also doesn't look like every country takes part?
Can only have 4 overseas in the starting 11
 
@prath92 , if you are gonna start a cricket thread about a tourney, atleast do it like how @Samid does it, with fancy images, cheerleaders, schedules etc. Lazy Bugger :p

Lol I didn't find a copy friendly fixture list anywhere. It all required me to edit in ms office and then paste. Too much work :p
 
Playing for the first time. Are we supposed to change the team match by match or is it like PL fantasy ?

And I think it's better to start a new thread for this to keep track of the scores and all
Same as fantasy football
 
You Indian?

Hoping to see Iyer perform well. He's excellent.
Who is better? Iyer or Rahane? Or let me put it this way - would you rather have Rayadu and Rahane OR Iyer and Manish Pandey as your batsmen?
 
RCB actually have a good bowling lineup as well even without Starc. Albeit another injury to one of their bowlers and they are fecked but they still they Watson, Weise, Badree, Chalal and Patel. But they might have a problem picking their 2 other foreign players apart from ABD and Gayle.

Iyer over Rahane. Pandey over Rayadu.

These Rising Giants have ugly kits.

Graphics are pathetic as well. Looks like Tekken, not cricket.
 
Dhoni is the only one who could get away with bowling Ishant and RP at the start
 
How did this team win last year? Was it equivalent to leicester winning the PL?
 
'Only problem would have been the height'

Rajat Bhatia is an excellent bowler. Akin to Bravo but without the dance.
 
how can it be worse than those stupid decisions from guys like nohit and simmons, who are openers of the team?

Missed the Sharma one.

Simmons got a good ball which swung in. World of difference between that and how Pandya got out. And this was after he tried to slog Sharma in the previous and got lucky.

Jesus. I am not watching but rajat bhatia is the definition of shit. Bravo is utterly fantastic in slow pitches.

Nah he was excellent for both kkr and Rajasthan. Not as good as bravo of course but he is very experienced and a wily bowler.
