For a second I thought you were talking about the now-defunct IGN Pro League. But this is cricket, isn't it?

@RobTheBuilder Did you see the SRH v RCB game, that went to the super over and the last ball of that? Awesome game.

@jonsaan Nope! I don't really know enough to talk about in much detail, I just started watching the IPL in 2010 and really got into it!

No worries Rob. I'll take IPL interest anywhere I can.
Today's game was a bit of a non event. I'm surprised Gilchrest remains a viable pick. far from his best these days sadly.

@jonsaan I work in marketing and that made me cringe. You might work that out internally, but when said out loud it sounds SOOOOO awful.

@jonsaan True. I can't help but think of goodness gracious me when they talk about Cooper in an Indian accent!
