As the IPL is starting to take shape there are a few points to discuss.
Is it just me, or is the ball travelling further in this tournament? We have seen some huge sixes, and big totals too. I have watched the Twenty20 competition in England, and the World Cup in South Africa. Generally the par scores have been lower, and this time around there seems to be many more sixes.
So what is the reason for this?
The quality of the batsmen immediately springs to mind, there are many established internationals competing, but there are also high quality bowlers, so surely this should balance out.
The size of the grounds could come into question. Are the boundaries too small? Surely they can’t be smaller than some of the English grounds. Taunton…
I can only come to one conclusion. The BCCI have sanctioned a secret batch of superhuman bats, and have sent them out to the following:
Brendon McCullum
Yuvraj Singh
Rohit Sharma
Adam Gilchrist
Varinder Sehwag
Shane Watson
Andrew Symonds
Mike Hussey
