Love it or not – there’s plenty of new stuff to look forward to in the 16th season of the IPL

Alagappan Muthu29-Mar-2023*IPL horn blares*Al: No, no, no, no, no, no.Icome Inpeace: Ehhh… Ehhh….Al: What is this?Icome: It’s Planet Eyepeeyell. We changed the name as soon as I came back from Earth that last time. Remember? When you taught me all about the greatest sporting tournament in the history of forever. What do you think?Al: It’s awf– — the hook. It’s off the hook…Icome: So are you excited for the new season?Al: No.Icome: But it’s bigger and better this year!Al: They say that every year.Icome: But this time it actually is.Al: Tell me one way it’s bigger and better.Icome: Teams get to pick their XIs based on the outcome of the toss. They have provision for an impact player who could literally change the game. There’s DRS not just for wickets but for wides and no-balls.Al: I said one way.Finalising XIs after toss and the Impact Player rule will give team’s plenty to think about this season•BCCIIcome: Can you even imagine? A captain, if he has to bowl first, can stack his XI with bowlers and then swap one of them out for a batter in the chase.Al: It’s restricted to Indian players though. The impact player coming into the team can’t be an overseas pick. No wait, he can be, if there are fewer than four overseas players in the first place.Icome : That was a test.Al: Okay fine, I might have maybe sneaked a peek on ESPNcricinfo while standing in line to get my CSK jers–Icome: I knew it.Al: Shut up.Icome: Sure, but you have to appreciate the ingenuity. Rajasthan Royals, for example, can leave Devdutt Padikkal or Yashasvi Jaiswal out of their XI if they are bowling first and bring one of them in when it’s time to bat. In the meantime, if the pitch is turning, like it does in Chennai, they can call up M Ashwin or KC Cariappa to back up R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal. If it’s seam-friendly, or even neutral, they can opt for the extra pace of Kuldeep Sen. The impact player can, potentially, even out home advantage.Al: Is it weird that I can’t stop thinking about how much more fun school would’ve been if they had an impact player rule. I’d take my math test and ace it. Someone else would sit through PE.Icome: Yes. It’s weird. Definitely weird.Related

Al: Moving on. The BBL tried something like this and ditched it …Icome: Which is exactly why the impact player has been given much greater leeway than the BBL’s x-factor substitute. He can come in at any time in the innings and take full part in the game irrespective of the work the person he is replacing has already done. Like, a team can bowl their powerplay specialist out up front and then replace him with a death-overs specialist who will still be allowed a four overs. Incredible, right? The scope of an IPL impact player is much larger than anything the cricket world has ever seen.Al: Y’know, you should DM the BCCI. They’ll really like you.Icome: And I like them. Especially now that they’ve allowed captains the chance to finalise their teams the toss. The SA20 did it first, which perhaps signalled to the IPL that they’ve got competition when it comes to innovation. Whatever happened, the fact is, now, before every game, a team gets to pick two sets of XIs and two sets of impact subs based on whether they will be batting or bowling, then depending on the outcome of the toss you lock one in and away you go. This could even minimise the effect of dew on the result. It won’t end it, because teams bowling second will always be at a disadvantage in conditions where it’s hard to grip the ball, but they’ll at least have extra options: an extra batter for when they’re batting and the ball is gripping and slowing off the pitch and an extra bowler for when they’re bowling and it feels like the runs just won’t stop.Al: Okay, I’ll admit, these new rules are cool. They’re actually a little like get-out-of-jail-free cards … except your options are limited. So you’ll have to be clever about it. You’ll have to plan ahead and, since it’s the first time, there’s also an element of hoping for the best.Icome: It’s a Shawshank situation.Al: You know Shawshank?Icome: You could say that.Allowing teams to use DRS to review wides and no-balls might prevent scenes like this one from IPL 2019•BCCIAl: Why did they extend DRS to wides and no-balls anyway?Icome: To make sure the right decision is made so everybody can calmly get on with the game.Al: You mean like VAR in football?Icome: What? No!Al: Why not? It’s a line call, being adjudicated with the help of technology, by a human being and last I checked we are still prone to error.Icome: At least it’ll prevent incidents like captains storming the field to berate on-field umpires.Al: Okay then. Let’s do an exercise. It’s the last ball of the match and there’s one run to win. You’re the third umpire. You’re called in because the batter has moved right across his crease, forcing the bowler to shift his line even further outside off in order to stay out of reach. The batter plays and misses. He appeals for a wide. It’s not given. For the record, the ball has landed well past the “wide line” but since he’s shuffled across it’s also kind of within his reach. DRS has brought you into play and you have to decide. Is this a wide or not?Icome: Uhh… yes… no… wait… I hate you.Al: So when’s the first game?Icome: Bro. You did not just ask me that.Al: Pretend I did.Icome: March 31st – Defending champions Gujarat Titans take on four-time champions Chennai Super Kings.Al: MS Dhoni’s last season.Icome: Only on earth.Al: What?!Icome: I’ve said too much.Al: It’s nice that the tournament can be spread out across the country now after the Covid-19 pandemic seasons, even if every team won’t play the other both at home and away. How did they work the schedule again?Icome: Each team in Group A plays the five in Group B twice and the four in their own group once, totalling 14 league matches per team.ESPNcricinfo LtdAl: Seems reasonable, if a bit quirky. Like here, look, Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals are all alternating between one game at home and one game away all season. CSK will play four of their last six games at home – potentially a huge advantage given how tight the playoff race gets around that time, while RCB are almost the opposite: starting their season with several matches at home and ending it almost exclusively on the road. Some franchises are going to have their work cut out coping with travel and recovery.Icome: Yeah, but it’s also exciting, right? 74 matches in 58 days with 18 double-headers. That’s nearly 300 hours of T20 cricket with afternoon games starting at 3.30pm local time and evening games at 7.30pm local time. There’s nothing like the start of a new IPL season, and as you can clearly see, the appetite for it extends beyond planetary borders. This place will have serious drip when CSK play Mumbai for the 1000th match of the IPL on May 6.*Cue the horn again*Icome: That’s just the best sound.Al: Really?Icome: Our intelligence agencies swear by it.Al: Intelligence agencies?Icome: Yeah, they use recordings of it in their enhanced interrogations – 100% results.Al: That makes sense. So is there any player you’re rooting for?Icome: Joe … Well, it feels like this season might be the start of the Gen Z era. Shubman Gill has never looked better. Harry Brook is all the rage. Cameron Green is pure gold. Sam Curran is beyond belief. And Jofra Archer man. The way he bowls, he could easily pass for one of us.Al: Yeah. Too bad Jasprit Bumrah’s injured. Seeing those two bowl together would’ve been epic.Jofra Archer will play for Mumbai Indians for the first time, but he won’t be able to team up with Jasprit Bumrah just yet•Gareth Copley/Getty ImagesIcome: But the best part of any IPL is the new guys who take the chance to own the stage. Like Ruturaj Gaikwad did in 2021. And Umran Malik did in 2022. Ricky Ponting, the Capitals coach, is already taking up a kid called Aman Khan and his power hitting. Then, we’ve got Joe Root playing his first IPL. Josh Little, the first Ireland player, to be part of the tournament. Ben Stokes ostensibly the captain in waiting at CSK, though the hierarchy there might already be wondering how long the USD 1.9 million asset will last given the turmoil his body’s already been through.Al: Speaking of which, what’s the deal with player availabilities?Icome: The South Africans will come in on April 3. The Sri Lankans after April 8. Australia and England might get precious about their players given the Ashes start on June 16. But otherwise most of the international contingent will be free to take a full part in the tournament. Injury has become a bigger concern than availability with Rishabh Pant out, which has left David Warner as captain of the Capitals, and Shreyas Iyer out, leaving Nitish Rana in temporary charge of the Knight Riders.Al: How do you know so much?!Icome: Why do you know so little?!!Al: I’m on vacation.Icome: So?Al: So I’m trying to maintain some boundaries. It’s healthy.Icome: Your coffee cup has Virat Kohli’s face on it.Al: Shut up.Icome: So, excited yet?Al: I have to tell you the truth – and not just because I passed a sign that said my nose will grow every time I lie.Al: But, I am absolutely not excited. On an unrelated note, do you guys have teleportation? I just remembered I have a … dentist’s appointment in, umm… Ahmedabad.

Beer is currently off the table. These and other important points, including Bairstow’s narcolepsy and Carey’s war crimes, are up for debate

Andrew Fidel Fernando04-Jul-2023In the beginning was the word, and the word was Bazball.Baz and the boys set out, like the fellowship from Rivendell, on an epic quest to save Test cricket from the dark lord Scoringratesoflessthanfouranover.They had incredible adventures, besting all kinds of foes, despatching all manner of bowling to boundaries all across the known world. Though there were setbacks, Baz and the fellas stayed true, for righteous was their cause, and wall-to-wall was the media hype.But then Alex Carey threw down the stumps after Jonny Bairstow left the crease to go talk to his batting partner before the over was called by the umpires, and now Baz won’t even have a beer with the Aussies anymore.Welcome to the Briefing.The case for Alex Carey being charged under the Geneva Convention
– He’s Australian, and they are known cheats, and historically, sheep thieves
– He threw the ball underarm (smoking gun)
– Bairstow tapped his back leg inside the crease to indicate that he believed the ball to be dead, and who is Carey to argue?
– England, the reigning ODI World champions, would never accept victory on a technicality
– Just look at his faceThe case for Jonny Bairstow being a dopey dolt with on-field narcolepsy that he should immediately get looked at, the dope
– He’s English, and they are known to act like the high and mighty moral arbiters of all that is moral, and also of what is arbitrary
– He tapped his back leg in the crease before the umpires called an over. Does he think he’s better than them?
– Carey throwing the ball at the stumps is a normal thing that keepers do, which Bairstow should know, because he tried to get Marnus Labuschagne out the same way earlier in the match
– Carey’s actions abided by the rules of play and did not cross “the line”, which is not just an Australian way of talking about the spirit of cricket wow don’t be dumb
– Just look at his face
Can you find an intellectual position in between these two extremes?
– No, you woke girlygirl. These are the only options.The case for England and Australia not being a laughing stock to the rest of the cricket world
– You all make amazing points and should make them as strongly as possible going forward
– It’s perfectly normal for grown men to have meltdowns of this magnitude in public
– Please keep going
Should we have a massive debate about the spirit of cricket then?
– Absolutely
– The spirit of cricket should be arrack, not rum, whiskey, or other contenders
– Arrack is great with ginger beer or ginger ale, and other soft drinks
– Also just great on ice
– Tends not to give you a hangover
The case for doing the next entry with bulletpoints even though it’s a bit spicy
– It would look out of place in this particular column if not.
– Let’s hope the readers buy the conceit
Was it cool to watch Ollie Robinson verbally go at Usman Khawaja, a brown Muslim man, knowing what we know about what Robinson said in public on social media in the past?
– Robinson has paid his dues
– He took his suspended period to introspect deep inside himself
– Deep inside himself he found stuff that he wants to loudly yell, which in regular society would count as abject abuse but for fast bowlers doesn’t
– He said it to a brown Muslim player
– He also did it to white players, even if not as intensely
– It was incidental that Khawaja is both brown and Muslim
– It is incidental that Robinson said racist stuff in the past, and that as a non-white person, you may never trust his intentions
– Well, Robinson can’t be blamed if Khawaja batted longer than anyone else and caused him more frustration, can he?
– Don’t be stupidNext month on the Briefing:
– “Let’s see you get up after that one, you p***k!” England team found mercilessly bashing the daylights out of a cricket ball in the nets, to “make sure it’s dead”.- The Ashes helpfully produces more dumb controversies right at the time the Briefing needs to be written. (Deadline is 31 July. Please do it again, lads.)- ESPNcricinfo editors heap plaudits on the Briefing for meeting deadlines so consistently and conscientiously.

A raw captain, new coaching staff, an inexperienced attack, a cagey dressing room and the mighty Aussies to deal with – it could have all gone very wrong. But this team didn’t let it and made friends along the way

Is Aamer Jamal the find of the tour for Pakistan?

The Pakistan players stood under the safety of a beach umbrella as they watched the hail pound the practice nets yards away from them. It was a freak weather event on the first day of training for a Pakistan side that had arrived in Canberra the previous morning. For a side that had been given a snowball’s chance in hell of winning a Test series in Australia, hailstones the size of golf balls in the middle of the Australian summer could perhaps be seen as an omen.They were greeted at Pakistan House by the High Commissioner the previous day, and would get an invite to the Australian Prime Minister’s residence the following evening. A familiar sense of calm had descended over Australia’s capital by now, warm summer sunshine melting away any signs of the storm that had put paid to Pakistan’s opening training session. Canberra is, in some ways, very much like Islamabad, a planned city with the functions of government at the heart of its founding.But when Pakistan took on the PM’s XI in a four-day match at the Manuka Oval a few days later, Pakistan realised this city also felt familiar in a manner they didn’t quite appreciate. The surface was flat as a pancake, the ball kept low and the relaid outfield was slow. Twenty-one months earlier, in Islamabad’s twin city Rawalpindi, Pakistan had prepared a strip so flat only 14 wickets fell across five full days, with the mild-mannered Pat Cummins saying then Pakistan had clearly tried to “nullify our pace attack”.Related

Now, with the shoe on the other foot, Pakistan were not happy. Also, apparently, the visitors hadn’t quite appreciated that this wasn’t just any tour game but a full first-class game, meaning they wouldn’t be able to warm up more than 11 players, soon reduced to ten when Abrar Ahmed complained of a leg injury. Despite sticking around with the team all tour, he would not bowl another competitive ball for its duration. Later that evening, an electrical storm surged through the city, blowing the covers off the surface and forcing the game to be called off a day early.

At the WACA, Shan Masood and Sarfaraz Ahmed are engaged in discussion ahead of Pakistan’s first training session in Perth. A number of Pakistan players and staff dot the playing surface, the picturesque and sadly now-disused cricket ground for the moment a hive of catching drills, bowling practice and fielding exercises.Looking in at all this action from the stands feels a bit like hitting play on a new season when you didn’t quite finish the last one. There’s a giant of a man with a luxuriant tan and Arnold Schwarzenegger-style biceps with a bat that looks puny in his hand, and you have to reach for binoculars to confirm it’s Adam Hollioake. An offspinner sending down a few inadvertently elicits a pang of nostalgia and is confirmed to be Saeed Ajmal. Simon Helmot is the high-performance coach, and Umar Gul is another one amidst a blur of new faces.Mohammad Hafeez, Pakistan’s new director of cricket, doesn’t seem to encourage too much media interaction•ICC via GettyBut this season’s main character is team director Mohammad Hafeez, who is now declaring himself thoroughly disappointed by the conditions they had to endure in Canberra. Addressing reporters – for some reason, under the glare of the sun rather than indoors – he says he never expected such a slow pitch in Australia; you don’t need to be an expert at subtext reading to know he believes it was gamesmanship from the opposition.Masood walks back to the shade of the sheds – Perth this time of year really is searingly hot – and has a word with the team manager. This pitch, too, is much too slow, and doesn’t bounce too much. It will be nothing like the strip Australia prepare for Pakistan at Perth Stadium across the Matagarup Bridge, he believes. Over the next three weeks, plenty of his instincts will turn out to be correct. Including this one.

****

Just because you know something will happen doesn’t mean you can stop it happening, as Pakistan find out at Perth Stadium. Australia have a pace trio whose speeds never seem to drop, whose consistency never seems to waver and whose appetite never seems to be satiated. They also have Nathan Lyon, bearing down on 500 Test wickets. Pakistan have a man doing a pale imitation of the Shaheen Afridi who could threaten 150kph, and two debutants.Shaheen Afridi was not quite his usual lethal self this tour•Getty ImagesOne of them – Khurram Shahzad – has never played outside Pakistan before. Aamer Jamal’s last exposure abroad came in China, where he conceded 23 runs in five balls against Afghanistan to knock Pakistan out of the Asian Games. They also have no specialist spinner because Sajid Khan, coming in for Abrar, hasn’t got over his jet lag or, frankly, his inability to consistently land the ball near enough the right length in international cricket.Anyway, back to the pitch. Pakistan only fully realise how spicy it is by the time the fourth evening rolls around. Perhaps the clue should have been in the fact that Pakistan’s inexperienced medium-pace battery had by then taken 15 Australian wickets – two more than they had managed during Pakistan’s entire Test series in this country in 2019. When the kick truly begins to hit Pakistan, they fold for 89.As if they weren’t hobbled enough already, Pakistan also find a way of shooting themselves in the foot. Mohammad Rizwan averaged over 45 in Australia before this series – albeit over a small sample size. Sarfaraz Ahmed – over a slightly bigger sample – averaged below 30, and barely above 15 if the similarly lively pitches in South Africa are taken into account. Sarfaraz is also older and it seems past his prime, and Rizwan, statistically, is a far superior wicketkeeper.

For a dressing room that had the potential to be combustible after the manner of Babar’s resignation and Masood’s appointment, perhaps keeping such a tight lid on things isn’t the worst idea. And to Hafeez’s credit, it works, for the most part. Very little of note leaks out of the camp all tour.

But Sarfaraz vs Rizwan is a culture war too tedious to relitigate, except to say that it has at times had not much to do with cricket. Masood offered an explanation for why Pakistan were lining up with Sarfaraz, and it seemed to have more to do with rewarding performances in domestic cricket in Pakistan than assessing who had the better shot of performing half a world away. After a match in which Sarfaraz totalled seven runs and missed a stumping, he was gone. Rizwan, who played the final two Tests, ended up as Pakistan’s highest scorer of the whole series.

****

Hafeez’s touring side is a tightly run ship. The players and staffs’ interactions with the media are obsessively regulated; beyond the compulsory press conferences, you virtually don’t hear from the players at all. At one point during an extended break between the first and second Tests, Australia wheel out Usman Khawaja, Alex Carey and Mitchell Starc, but no one from Pakistan fronts up at all.Perhaps Hafeez, who owes this surprise stint as team director and head coach more to his outspoken views in the media rather than any management or training qualifications, feels rather differently about the media now he’s back in the other camp. When Pakistan play an unscheduled two-day practice match against a Victorian XI at St Kilda, it is closed off to the media – though whether it was the PCB or Cricket Australia (CA) who wanted it behind closed doors remains disputed. Either way, if you wanted to watch the game, you would need to peer through a fence.Ahead of the series Usman Khawaja had ‘all lives are equal’ written on his shoes, the first of his many attempts to direct attention to the humanitarian disaster in Gaza•Getty ImagesThe general sense of wariness extends to the captains’ pre-series press conferences. The biggest story around the tour at this point surrounds the ICC rebuffing Khawaja’s attempts to raise awareness of the humanitarian disaster in Gaza. There is overwhelming public support in Pakistan for Khawaja’s decision and the cause, but Masood is firm when asked about it repeatedly, calling it a matter for CA and the player himself to address. His eyes are fixed firmly on the Benaud-Qadir Trophy gleaming in the sun (why must all Perth press conferences take place under the sun?) a few metres away.Even normal conventions around fronting players up for media post-day are stretched close to breaking point. After the first day of play, Jamal shows up; all series, Pakistan will put forward a player post-day just seven times, with Jamal appearing thrice. On the other three days in Perth, Pakistan wheel through the management staff they have, with Hollioake and Gul making appearances the following two days, and Hafeez showing up after the loss; he will show up after the conclusion of each Test. Australian PM Anthony Albanese, who the visiting Pakistanis met in Canberra and then again before the third Test in Sydney, likely said more off-the-record words to Masood than any journalist on the whole tour.But for a dressing room that had the potential to be combustible after the manner of Babar Azam’s resignation and Masood’s appointment, perhaps keeping such a tight lid on things isn’t the worst idea. And to Hafeez’s credit, it works, for the most part. Very little of note leaks out of the camp all tour, but then some of what does make its way out suggests player morale in a social bubble of this kind might not have been especially high; there is unhappiness about a reported curfew, and a smiling Hafeez confirms one of the more outlandish rumours in a press conference in Melbourne: any players caught napping during work hours will be fined $500.The press room laughs. It’s a little less funny when, 24 hours later, Hafeez, enjoying an airport coffee with his wife, arrives late to the boarding gate and misses his flight to Sydney.

Australia is almost like Pakistan’s cricketing version of a teenage crush, in front of whom they are so eager to bring their best yet reliably incapable of doing so

The desperation to compete in Australia is palpable. This country is almost like Pakistan’s cricketing version of a teenage crush, in front of whom they are so eager to bring their best yet reliably incapable of doing so. And for all the humour you can poke at Pakistan’s ever-extending losing streak here, this Pakistan side is no joke, and despite the wholesome interactions with the hosts they clearly appear to enjoy, they are here undoubtedly to try and win.It’s raining on Christmas Day, and so training is moved indoors. This is handy for Pakistan, because when the Australians bring out their families – as is tradition here – it makes Pakistan’s amicable gesture of presents for the children look even sweeter and more intimate. The overhead conditions will continue to smile upon Pakistan all Test, reliably offering them the best of both bowling and batting conditions. The bowlers are on top of Australia all of day one, but the hosts scratch around and find a way to survive.Pakistan’s generosity extends to the field, where they put down Australian chances several times across both innings, somehow finding a way to squander the advantage gained by having Australia 16 for 4 in the second innings. In a contest where Pakistan continue to dream each day of a festive miracle, Australia keep jolting them awake, even if, in the process, they are given scares of their own.Hafeez, smarting after the loss, does his best Jose Mourinho impression, deflecting attention onto himself by blaming “the curse of technology” while saying the better team had lost. Pakistani cricket fans have the reputation of being conspiracy-loving, but they had the good sense to tune this out; heartbreak and lingering resentment is, after all, an unhealthy mix. When Masood was asked about Hafeez’s comments in Sydney, he, too, would give them short shrift.Pakistan had way more spills in the field this series than they would have liked•AFP/Getty Images

Shan Masood has been impressing people on this tour and it’s not the usual compliments about his communication skills and tact. He’s simply having a good tour as captain and, going into Sydney, is Pakistan’s leading run-scorer, with a higher strike rate than any player from either side all series. Managing a depleted bowling lineup like Pakistan’s is no mean feat, especially when Afridi is rested for the final Test. The seam combination had been used judiciously enough to control run-scoring in Melbourne, with Agha Salman’s spin handy at tying up an end. Time and again, Pakistan set up with unconventional fields and bespoke bowling plans.Some of them come off and others don’t, but the captaincy itself is an active rather than passive act all tour. At the SCG, Steven Smith is lured right into an off-side trap to trigger a mini-collapse in Australia’s first innings, which ends with Jamal heroics and a 14-run lead for Pakistan, their first in Australia in 13 years. Sajid doesn’t have the best first innings in Sydney, but Masood turns to him for the first over of the second innings, which he ends by ensnaring Khawaja. The choice not to use Jamal until the game’s effectively over is rather less scrutable, but for a man whose first three Tests in charge provide the baptism of fire this tour brings, there is a clear foundation to build on.As much as they wanted to win, there was warmth on display from Pakistan this tour•Getty Images and Cricket AustraliaAnd for a dressing room that was allegedly unhappy with some of the goings on, the players stood up for each other time and again. Abdullah Shafique was rallied around after his miserable time in the field, as was Saim Ayub after similar experiences in the third Test. There was no dropping of the heads during those long sessions when it all looks hopeless, or any public remonstrations between bowler and fielder when catches are put down and misfields happen. If this is down to Masood’s ethos as captain, it bodes well, and if it is not, then he has the good fortune of leading a group which, despite certain frustrations and differences, has a streak of professionalism coursing through.The players realise they are fortunate to be doing what they do, but don’t forget to have fun doing it. Hasan Ali is the expected leader in that regard, notably making sure Bay 13 crowd at the MCG is in lockstep with his dance moves. Babar and Agha enjoy a hand game known as as they field in the slips before the duo race across at the change of ends alongside Rizwan, holding hands. Slipper Agha also sees the funnier side of going, as he called it, “for a pee break” and knowing he was in trouble when a catch at first slip is put down in that very over. And, across the series, Pakistan’s boundary riders are more than happy to oblige spectators asking for autographs, running back and forth with smiles on their faces while delighting at the smiles they in turn put on the faces of the children whose day they made.
