@praneetsamaiya @MichaelVaughan Sorry no amount of defense will work. The ticketing was in shambles resulting in this. Hyd and Dsala were not even half full. And Delhi looks poor too.

@bhogleharsha Isnt 33(30) an investment to get the high returns of 46(16) later? The latter might not be possible without the former. Not all can do a Pooran

@cricketaakash Finals hi cancel kar dete hai. Table topper becomes the champion. Proper reflection of 2 yrs of competition. No fluke. Thats how long drawn leagues work. Epl ka final thodi hota hai. Or just hv old process of giving the mace to top-ranked side.

@cricketaakash 5 yrs is too long a period to judge. Bowlers were great till 2021. Downfall started from 2022 wanderers. Perhaps bharat arun effect. Batters hv been woeful ever since 2017-18.

@newspaperwallah The same grounds look beautiful in ipl. So lesson is: 1. No matches up north during Nov-Feb incl Kolkata, Ranchi (haze, fog) 2. Ask Pan bahar team to improve aesthetics or rebrand :) IPL does not suffer from either of the two above hence aesthetically better

@NikhilNaz Totally agree. Last 6 tests absolutely phenomenal. Buts thats partly due to top orders failure and top class efforts from bowlers. Msd had a super top order. And when he did wage a lone battle the bowlers didnt back up. Hence the impact was low
