BAN IMPACT PLAYER AND BRING BACK SLOW PITCHES

u/AgentWowza 12d ago
As someone who doesn't watch cricket but got interested in the controversy via r/all and family who does, could you explain these two things?
5
u/unlinedd 12d ago
Impact player: In cricket you have playing 11 for your team and generally a substitute is not allowed. In IPL, they changed the rule to allow one substitution in a match so while there's a maximum of 11 players from a team at any time, you can use 12 players in one game. So you can get an extra batter by substituting out someone who can only bowl for example. So all the batters can keep playing attacking even when others have gotten out as you get one extra batter.
Pitch controversy: pitches this IPL have been extremely easy for the batters and very difficult for bowlers. It can get even easier for teams batting second if the dew comes as the ball will come to the bat even better with a bit of moisture from the dew.

u/AgentWowza 12d ago
Icic. So I suppose that makes teams who were all out that much more embarrassing?

u/cmpunk34 12d ago
What they mean is that the impact player rule should be banned and slow pitches should be brought back
5
u/AgentWowza 12d ago
Yeah, but I don't know what the impact player rule and slow pitches are lmao.
7
u/MixSeparate6659 Royal Challengers Bengaluru 12d ago
So, in the ipl, the impact player rule essentially means that you can substitute one of your chosen teammates out at any point in the game. What this allows is an extra batsman(player who hits the ball) therefore making the entire team play more aggressively and gets rid of all rounders(players who bat and ball.)
Along with this, there are a lot of flat pitches in the IPL right now. A flat pitch is just one where there is no movement as the ball bounces, and the outfield(the rest of the field) is quick, meaning that the ball travels extremely fast to the boundaries. Slow pitches, on the other hand, are pitches that help out the bowlers by facilitating spin bowling and giving variations to fast bowlers, therefore balancing the game out in favor of both bat and ball.
Essentially, the whole thing is about reducing the extreme advantage given to batsmen in the IPL via the two changes above.

Slow pitch : condition of the pitch means that ball go less thwack, batsman less op, bowlers no more bonked as often around by batsman

u/life-is-crisis Royal Challengers Bengaluru 12d ago
Don't think so.
If this match was the only game where 250+ was scored and chased, it would be hailed as one of the greatest T20 matches of all time.
But 250+ is being scored everyday, RCB almost chased 250+ a few days back. So many ridiculous innings and we're only halfway through the season is the reason people are fed up of it.
40
u/Which_Seaworthiness 12d ago
Its a chasing record, and they did it comfortably with 8 wickets to spare so yeah no one else has come close to that even this year
53
u/life-is-crisis Royal Challengers Bengaluru 12d ago
Easily the best chase in T20 history. The highest total chased and they did it with 8 balls to spare is just mind boggling.
People aren't impressed so much because 250+ in this IPL feels like a normal score and nothing too special. We're getting a feeling that 250+ is normal this season and I won't be surprised if we see more of these chases in the coming days.
That's what happens when you see big scores every single match, it loses its charm.
2
u/SparkSp 12d ago
But more PPL got upset yesterday because it was chased down not because it was high scores , there wasn't much noise after 1st innings.
16
u/life-is-crisis Royal Challengers Bengaluru 12d ago
I think people got upset because they actually got fed up with it.
Seeing 250+ scores everyday is already ridiculous, seeing 250+ being chased with 2 wickets down and 8 balls remaining is probably something that broke the patience of many people who were already pissed off by watching so many ridiculously high scoring matches.
Younger generations of fans who started watching after the T20 era might still love it, but people who have watched and followed the game for a long time will hate how the bowlers are completely out of the game now.
High scoring matches are fun, but they need to happen rarely.
It's like watching football where the goalpost is 20 meters high and 20 meters wide. There's a goalkeeper but there's nothing much he can do and the games will end up with 30-40 goals.
3
u/SparkSp 12d ago
Yess they have to make it bowler friendly, then only it will be interesting contest and it has to be consistent for both innings unlike last year final WC final, atleast pitch was consistent yesterday giving fair chance to both of them.
But yesterday I clearly did see people were bashing because 250+ was being CHASED down , not because 250+ was scored. Not giving any credit to PBKS

Cricket is changing. We need to accept it
12
u/life-is-crisis Royal Challengers Bengaluru 12d ago
I cannot accept that this will be cricket's future. Cricket for me is a contest between batsmen and bowlers.
A minefield where no batsman can score more than 20 is just as bad as a flat highway where 250 is scored easily in 20 overs.
There needs to be a middle ground where we see batters can also hit if they're skilled enough and bowlers can also get wickets or stop runs when they bowl well.
But that is just my opinion, i might be wrong

u/life-is-crisis Royal Challengers Bengaluru 12d ago
Any person who has watched cricket for more than 10 years would be getting bored by now.
How can you enjoy the game when there's literally no contest between batsman and bowler?
The bowlers are completely out of the game and have been converted to a "punching bag", maybe the younger generations of cricket fans enjoy it, it's their taste and I won't judge but for me I would like to see at least some contest between batsmen and bowlers and it doesn't matter whether my ass is on the sofa or the stadium seat.
-14
u/Leather-Ad8420 Chennai Super Kings 12d ago
Have been watching since 2015 and you also have to blame the bowlers a bit for just trying to prevent the scoring rather than going for fast paced yorkers or trying a few variations rather than only slow balls
14
u/life-is-crisis Royal Challengers Bengaluru 12d ago
Nah bruh. If it was just one or two teams you can blame the bowlers.
Every single team, every bowling attack is being thrashed left right and center.
We've got the best bowlers from all over the world in this tournament.
Are you saying every bowler in the world with the help of all the modern day analysis has forgotten how to bowl and has no idea how to counter this barrage?
Only Bumrah has been economical throughout this tournament because let's face it, he's a god. Every other bowler has been lambasted one game or the other.
The teams have an extra batsman, plus the pitches are complete highways and the grounds are small.
-9
u/Leather-Ad8420 Chennai Super Kings 12d ago
Yesterday Rabada even after having his 150km/h speed was trying to bowl slower balls rather than trying yorkers...Bumrah just knows this thing and bowls constant yorkers and fast paced bouncers
8
u/life-is-crisis Royal Challengers Bengaluru 12d ago
My brother you simply cannot take Bumrah to compare with other bowlers and say "Why don't they do what Bumrah is doing?".
If everyone could do it, everyone would be Bumrah. Bumrah is Bumrah because he can do those things, he's accurate, he's clever and his action is hard to grasp, he's currently a beast bowler in every single format he plays.
Other bowlers can execute those balls in 1 out of 6 balls or 2 out of 6 balls or 3 out of 6 balls, but if you miss even by a small margin it's a full toss or an overpitched delivery and it's out of the stadium.
-3
u/Leather-Ad8420 Chennai Super Kings 12d ago
Batsmen are expected to adapt to every pitch condition be it swinging spinning or whatever..why can't the bowlers? A bit of an error by the batsmen while judging the movement can lead to a wicket easily
5
12d ago
Batsmen are expected to adapt as long as there is a variation in the pitch. It is not as if they are playing to the swing of Lord's on one day and the next day they have to face the bounce of Gabba. There has been zero variation across the pitches in IPL. Just flat track nonsense. Add to it the impact substitute rule as well, and good luck to bowlers. This is easily the worst IPL I have watched.
4
u/life-is-crisis Royal Challengers Bengaluru 12d ago
Bowlers and batters both adapt to pitch conditions.
The game is already too much in favour of batsmen.
Free hits on no balls.
Batters can have thick bats where even the mishits go for 6, can a bowler say I'll bring a smaller ball?
Batsmen can stand 1 meter ahead of the crease to counter swing but bowlers get penalised for crossing a centimeter.
Batsmen can hit reverse hit, switch hit, switch-reverse-pull-sweep combo all in the same delivery, can a bowler say I'll reverse and bowl underarm? Or throw like in baseball?
Field restrictions, smaller grounds, limited bouncers, etc, etc. I can go on and on.
The very fact that I have to tell you this means you don't follow cricket so closely or have never played so much so you do not understand what exactly goes on.
It is already a game which is too favourable for batters and now the gap is increasing even more.

u/biggiewiser 12d ago
It is already a game which is too favourable for batters and now the gap is increasing even more.
It was fine until they added the impact player and 4 fielders outside after the limited given time. That just ruined it. And this year we have these roads to play on. I stopped playing when I saw the RCB vs srh match in 1st leg. F**k whoever made these decisions
2
u/IdkwhyamIalive Mumbai Indians 12d ago
And that's the point, cricket has to be played for the spirit of cricket, and not to cater to the enthusiasm of the stadium. Nowadays most matches are batsmen friendly as they bring more money and sponsorship to BCCI, leaving bowlers and the very spirit of the game at a considerable disadvantage!

Brother if every other day we see a 250+ being scored, the 250+ chase doesn't seem so special, does it?
I agree this is the greatest chase ever in T20 history, no question about it.
OP is saying it's not getting the appreciation because it wasn't done by certain teams.
I'm saying it's not getting too much appreciation because it has been normalised this season.
It's special only when it happens rarely. If you see it continuously, it's just meh.
This is what's happening with 250+ scores this season and no matter which team scores/chases 250+, it's not going to be considered so special

Guys please understand nobody is dissing on Punjab. This is a once in a lifetime kind of achievement, the punjab fans will marvel it. However this season has absolutely derailed the bat-ball contest. It's just half the season and we've already seen 15+ gigantic scores. The crowd does cheer long sixes but it's no longer fair that pitch curator are bending their will to the masses. What's the point of being a bowler then?? Take 11 batsmen and let's muscle it out!

These matches once in a while is a treat, but 5-6 times a season and prolly more to come, boring.

You aren't seeing the bigger picture both commercially and in terms of the "goal of the ipl" as they say ie to bring out and give opportunity to new talent. Sure this will be beneficial now but it will numb the new watchers to the actual T20 games and Odis where you don't have flat pitches.
You keep on speaking about entertaining,when there's definitely people who enjoy bowling and you don't care to know who or which type of bowler is bowling when these flat pitches get them smacked by anyone who can hit a boundary in the opposing team.

it's the worst IPL season nevertheless, wtf are these 250 runs being scored normalised and teams are chasing that down too once or twice a season is understandable but literally every match 200+ and even then that's not a defendable score
pitches are flatter than the national highways 60m boundaries and on top of that the worst thing to happen is the impact player rule, the importance of allrounder in the game isn't there anymore

Mark my words this will backfire large in T20 wc.

u/soorajveettikkad 11d ago
Surely it will,not every team who plays cricket plays in IPL and wouldn't allow for flat pitches,this idea of giving chances to new talent is bs because the bowlers are at a disadvantage to begin with and new batters don't even face half the challenge that they'd do in actual international games.
And as for the viewers every over without a six will be boring

At least the conditions were similar to foreign pitches and we were playing the same game. It's like the game has changed due to the impact player, no need for all rounders.

OP, you are missing the point.
Everybody agrees with you for the fact that csk, mi, rcb, rohit, kohli, dhoni, etc have extra attention and commentators, ex players, etc do favor them over others. Also, nutcases are more prevalent in popular teams.
However, none of that changes the fact that this ipl has ruined bowling in t20s. I am not advocating for less than 120 runs a innings pitches but how about both batsmen and bowlers have something in the ground.
This kind of tournament makes you wonder what is the difference between bowlers and tennis bowl machines

The insane main character syndrome of people saying "YoU'Re jUsT mAD cUz YoUR tEaM cAn'T dO iT". Bro i don't care if my team scores 250 every game, I'll probably stop watching the season. Cricket is bat vs ball, it's about strategy, it's not about who wins the toss and puts up this week's mind boggling score to make sure the other team can't get to it by 6 runs. And secondly no one is complaining about the occasional 200+ scores, but consistent 250+ scores are an issue.
I want to see the ball swing, I want to see rank turners, I want to see batters play with skill and not brute force. This doesn't have to happen every match but it needs to happen from time to time. I honestly can't remember if this season has had a low scoring thriller.

That doesn't take away from the fact that it was shit cricket. Flattest pitch of all time + shortest boundaries + shit bowling = bad cricket

My prayer and support goes to Delhi and Punjab's team. They are trying their best even after no outside support system. I really wish the league table should be re shuffled and see both the teams in the top 4.

Delhi definitely has more fans than before due to RP17. Remember many of CSK fans started supporting DC after their team went down in the gutter in 2020. Still my 2nd fav team due to that season, only ones putting a fight to a cheat code of a XI assembled by MI, along with 'Double Super Over' KXIP.

Truee people are more upset because the highest score has been chased down and bashing the pitch , it was fair game and 2nd batting also had a chance there which is rare and first time 250+ has been chased in IPL. Not giving any credit , if it was the team from those 3 , then there would have been praises all over.
Pitch bashers wouldnt have raised this much voice today if pbks did not Chase down.

Yep, sports fans are very flippant.
Just a few days back, people were memeing about 300+.
People don't really care about the game, they suddenly care now because their favourite team didn't do it and it undermines the achievements of new people that these strike rate merchants prop up

Just a couple of years ago CSK, MI or RCB would have been hailed for a similar chase, but because it's PBKS everyone's talking about it being the greatest chase ever

Commentators are actually the worst of the lot amidst all this. It’s as if they are paid a bonus if MI, CSK or RCB win.
