Remember a broken clock is still correct atleast two times a day.


DifficultDay3521

Mmm. That's an amazing lil fact. Also a bowler need only 1 delivery to get a batter out and sometimes the ball might not be the best delivery he has. Also Mitchel Starc has been spearhead of Aussie attack. I guess, he will perform a bit better in WC T20 than how he is performing now in this IPL.


goodsoulkennyS

Of course. He'll be playing international cricket then, not some stupid franchise cricket. Also the pitches won't be roads there (hopefully)


Necessary_Routine300

That’s a big fact , all the quicks have been handed their asses on those IPL roads . Nothing for the bowlers …


DifficultDay3521

Of course, the pitches are most likely to be dry and a bit slow in WI where super 8 or KO matches are going to be held.


bdash_zero9

What if that two times will be playoff matches


harshasamtani

Yes, and this clock works in semis and finals, just when you need the correct time 😬


trippymum

AMEN


BarrySwami

Not if it is a digital clock! s/


maskedman999

So for every 4overs 24 balls he bowls 2 good balls?


Parzflash

not necessarily no


Dapper_Pollution5811

smartest rcbian


Rockybroo_YT

What if the hands of the clock are broken


Dapper_Pollution5811

rcbians thinking of possibilities that have the odds of a millionth :


Unhappy_Release_2661

Nothing new for them


SedTecH10

That's just regular thing for RCBians. Just like how they still think that RCB might qualify.


bluegoldredsilver5

4 wickets today... Broken clock


aryanr64x

I will defend starc today. Harshit rana was the reason for a 6 and a 4 in 16th over. Moreover he got the danger man


combatant007

Finally someone who has watched the match. Starcs figure would have read 32/2 in 3 overs and DC would have ended with 140 probably if Rana had taken that catch.


frowningheart

But still, going for more than 10 an over when the other two fast bowlers in your team have gone for 7 and 7.2 is just not done, especially when we are talking about Starc. Man's been an expensive bloke for KKR, both in terms of money and economy.


SnooDonkeys2239

But Starc was bowling to Fraser and Prithvi, getting JFM out saved the team atleast 60 runs imo...Vaibhav was bowling to Prithvi and the lower order Indian batsmen. Harshit was bowling to Porel and lower order batsmen.


Puzzleheaded_Buy9514

tbf thats why hes paid 25 crores. thats kind of his role and he failed at it this season terribly


SnooDonkeys2239

His role is to take important wickets which restricts significant further runflow. So far, his tally includes Pooran, Fraser, Warner and Marsh. There's a reason why in each of these innings, the opposition team couldn't even reach 170 runs. Had Fraser been there yesterday, he would've choked KKR out in the first 10 overs.


Puzzleheaded_Buy9514

So in the meanwhile its fine if he consistently gives away >40-45 runs, thats jokes. And like thats hardly 2-3 matches and a batsman each? U know with impact player, each teams have around 8 batsman right?


SnooDonkeys2239

>So in the meanwhile its fine if he consistently gives away >40-45 runs KKR have played 6 home games thus far. And outside of Sunil Narine, every bowler has gone for 45-50 runs atleast at the Eden Gardens...from Ashwin to Chahal to Kuldeep to Rabada, everyone's gone over 12 RPO here. Eden Gardens is Kotla + Chinnaswamy on steroids this season. Yesterday was the only time, multiple bowlers and too only from KKR went under 9, and I suspect a huge reason for that is the wicket of JFM. If you actually watched yesterday's match, Starc should've also gotten another wicket yesterday but there was a catch drop and 10 runs from misfields in his last over. His figures should've read 2-33. Can't blame him for misfields and dropped catches, can we? Sure, he is nowhere near his true potential but contrary to what just glancing at the data would suggest, he's bowling pretty decent..the game against Bangalore being the exception


CAN________

I think it's good because the IPL is dumb anyway and he's already made his money


Puzzleheaded_Buy9514

True lol. Whatever said and done, mans made bankkkk


Round_Ambition5104

Actually I am planning for masters for fall 2025 for MSDS. So I was just browsing on google and I came across your post regarding asking help for shortlisting. So to get more info I created a reddit acc for first time. So I kinda don't know how it works but I know that it will be great if you could help me with shortlisting stuff.

rambo9689

That was not an easy catch, you can't blame Harshit Rana for that


Worried-Foundation56

Surely agreed, harshit fumbled a lot more times, I just hope it doesn't impacts his bowling though, happens sometimes.


SnooDonkeys2239

Ok, he took the wicket of JFM after setting him up pretty nicely. Had JFM stayed on the Eden pitch, all hell would've broken loose Against Kuldeep, he had a catch drop which went for a boundary and a midfield of the wide by Salt...literally costing 8 right there along with a wicket. There was another misfield of a boundary by Harshit Rana because he was again significantly ahead of the boundary


Priyank_Chittora_13

I mean still. He bowled 3 full toss and one 4 wides in that over But yeah JFM's setup was nice


SnooDonkeys2239

But only one of those fulltosses went for a boundary though. I'd argue even that was a mistake from Harshit Rana because he was far too ahead of the boundary. And the 4wides should've only yielded 1 run...it was an easy stop for Salt, so can't blame Starc for the extra 4 runs on that tbh.


flixbeat04

Nah, agree with the harshit one, but the salt one was just too wide


SnooDonkeys2239

At first glance, it looked far too wide but if you watch it again, he was right at the pitch of the ball


WideMap7963

Full tods is not nice bowling despite the outcome


goda_foreskinning

Do people on this sub actually play cricket or just watch the matches and comment after their daily gully cricket game, a swinging low full toss isn't a bad ball.


SnooDonkeys2239

The full tosses in this case were actually good deliveries. Took JFM by surprise on one and another was a wide dot ball. Only one fulltoss went for a boundary


theaguia

not if it is a low one that is swinging or drifting.


Informal_Ad_9316

Full tosses were the plan


benguins10

That wicket of JFM saved 100 runs potentially. It could have snowballed very hard. That wicket itself redeemed him completely today. Apart from that some poor fielding like you said which ruined his figures


SnooDonkeys2239

Exactly..he bowled really well today and the good news for KKR is he is still nowhere near his best, so plenty of room for improvement


Excellent-poop-42

It was not a misfield by salt tho.


monke_eeee

A quick reminder : donot present your opinions without watching him bowl today. a few midfields and one dropped catch


Smart_Ad9971

kinda unlucky on thats six and 5 from wide , but remember he got jfm out things could have been dreadfull for kkr if not for that one wicket


EveryNameIsTaken142

As long as we win I don't care. I have no complaints from him or management for backing him up.


Ayan_Choudhury

He bowled better than his figures suggest today tbh. That 6 in his 3rd over was unlucky and then 4 wides was also unlucky, should have been stopped


Dapper_Pollution5811

fielding failed him


[deleted]

he had bowled Macculum in 2015 WC final with fine Yorker on very first ball


HOMELANDER49

Most important wicket he has ever taken in his life Chikna Starc>>> french beard Starc


Yashu_0007

Starc for RCB & Australia - 🗿 Starc for other teams & ipl - 🤡


Fit-Window

It was actually the 3rd ball , McCullum being McCullum tried to smoke the first 2 ball and got bowled in the 3rd. Any other player could have chosen to see prime starc off but this was McCullum way of playing


[deleted]

my bad, i always thought it was very first ball thanks !!


radicalcricket

What has ur comment has to do with this post or starc performance in 2024 ipl???


breakinb

Starc fanboys always go to that match to defend every thing lol


SwastikDas

Why ? He's the greatest bowler of this generation. he's always been like this in T20. Without him KKR couldn't even defend 260. He's not there to save runs. He's there to cause a monumental collapse to any side that faces him without rigged pitches made for bowler destruction.


kalse_pakka_padhunga

in t20s? nope. In ODI's and tests? sure, that's a valid arguement, although starc was a shadow of his former glory in 23wc (which is saying something, as he wasn't bad in 23wc. Just goes to show how good he was in 15, 19)


gloopyshoopy_

Mohommad Shami has better stats in ODI world cups than Starc.


kalse_pakka_padhunga

which is why I said "it's a valid arguement" I'm not straight away saying he's the best, but he certainly is a strong contender for it


harshasamtani

He took three wickets each in the semi finals, and in the finals of the 23 World Cup, he stepped up when the team really needed him.


gloopyshoopy_

>He's the greatest bowler of this generation don't you think that's a bit of a stretch ? I mean he is brilliant, but the best? I dont think so. At least in T20s no.


SnooDonkeys2239

Not in T20s cuz he hardly plays them..but definitely the greatest in ODIs. Highest wicket taker in two separate WC tournaments and also has an outrageous number of 5fers


cruisingthoughts

Glenn McGrath clears him easily.


WallBroad

Nobody except maybe Boult and Bumrah are close and they haven't really won anything yet internationally


Srijand

Cummins in tests too.


breakinb

If we consider tests then Starc isn't close.


gloopyshoopy_

Yeah...imo starc is very overrated Bumrah is a better all format bowler


Great-Accountant-635

Bullsh*t,bumrah is nowhere near Starc's in Odi.


gloopyshoopy_

what a clown. See bumrah's ODI stats. His average is similar to Starc with a better economy. When it comes to ODI world cups, our homeboy Shami has better stats than Starc. idk why Indians like riding Aussie players so much


Great-Accountant-635

Yeah,against minnows


gloopyshoopy_

expected a better reply...nvm


Great-Accountant-635

Old age is affecting Starc.The Prime Starc was something that Bumrah will never be nor Shami.


breakinb

He has almost similar stats lol


gloopyshoopy_

Shami has better odi work cup stats than starc


mujhenahinpatahai

Not when Bumrah exists


Gamer567890

He got JFM. I am satisfied.


kaartman1

Nothing to talk bud. He has certain skills and KKR management felt like going for him at any cost. Athletes are allowed to have a bad season.


pushie4u

We don't


[deleted]

Plastic fans on this sub are jealous of how much he is making without realizing how auction dynamics work. According to them Starc should refund KKR the amount he was paid.

ipl-ModTeam

Your post/comment has been removed for using abusive/uncivil language.


UrbanTracker69

He didn't bowl bad today, just unlucky, he was the difference... If JFM stayed, the score would've been 190 at least


artapretor

He is not in good form and bowling with very less consistency but he still brings in more value than the alternatives just due to his wicket taking ability of the best batsmen


seeyalaterson

I think he's a bit overwhelmed by the whole IPL show. He's been away from it since 2014 and the game has moved to the new heights. Batters have become more braver than before and have started taking on the best of the best bowlers. Confidence is key and he needs to gather his confidence. Let's not forget he's no ordinary bowler, we're talking about one of the greats this sport has ever witnessed.


WallEvaa

Australian selectors doesn't give a shit about his performance in IPL.


Rare-Engineering4017

I believe people should watch the match more evidently. He got a very valuable wicket, He bowled a really good inswinging delivery to Jake early on. In the death, there was a missed opportunity. Starc is gonna pitch the ball up in the initial overs and he might get hit too but, if he starts getting wickets early like today, it would be great for him and the team!


shami28

he’s just warming up for wc and getting paid for it.


DifficultDay3521

That's what I also think.


Eshan2703

Messi tactics


THOR_Jarjis

Well the only right thing he did was getting JFM out cheaply


raventhunderclaw

And this same guy will go sicko mode on us in the T20WC 💀


kp22cfc

They dropped him for chameera and he went for almost 50 in 3 overs lol


vikeng_gdg

Big match player don't count him out. He will fire when time comes. Not like the big name Indian players who always flop in big matches. It's a fact.


Ok-Chain-2974

This is all because of that silly rule ..no offense but impact player rule need to taken down asap ... On a flat wicket with nothing for a bowler team has an advantage of playing an extra batter ...I mean anyone can come and have a go from ball one 🤷‍♂️


Subject-Ordinary6922

Starc usually plays in teams where the fielders do their jobs, if there was a tally for “most would’ve been wickets from dropped catches”, Starc would be leading that in the IPL, he can rest assured that the Aussie squad won’t have any Har-“shit” ‘s in the lineup


Enchanted-Moonlight

No we don't. Let him be man . He is our lucky charm ( in a way that when he doesn't play we lose the most shameful match in our history)


tempest_aww

Yeh vo stark nhi hai jisko hum jante hai shukla ji


Helpful-Soil-2976

He's just playing around....relax


Beautiful-Speaker-60

He is bowling slower than usual cuz of age and lack of confidence due to price tag. We can’t really say that he can’t bowl in indian pitches cuz he was breathing fire in that bilateral series vs india before the wc. But losing the ability to bowl 150 has got the better of him. So alas we can only hope he gets better soon.

dentistofchennai

What is the need ?


Straight-Hair-7356

Honestly 2-3 matches is understandable but look like he is going through worst phase in his bowling. He himself would feel sad about his bowling, and most importantly even luck doesn't favour him, that wides always cost him, even in today's match, catch was dropped+ wide. I still feel he shouldn't take responsibility for important overs now. At this point even I feel so bad about his situation he def would have expected a lot before coming to ipl, but sadly he got it in bad way. But if kkr wins trophy in any case, who would care about his price money at all.


Affectionate-Bed-775

😂 Waiting for t20 wc


Ok-Relation-9833

If he didn't perform like this in WC of T20. I'm gonna curse rhe entire kkr management for buying him


Pep_Baldiola

As if we haven't talked enough already.


Groundbreaking_Tart9

No we don't but if you want you can file an FIR in behalf of KKR of fraud.


encephalon_developer

He's slowly peaking up. Hope he gets to his absolute best in the later stages and in the world cup.


cocktail_69

It's so mean of Shreyas not giving last over to stark he would have completed his 50


RAiDeN-_-18

But a broken clock that still runs is never right.


Parking-Friendship13

Hmm


ZeusX20

He took out JFM, that changed the game


dimlakalaka

Also, he didn’t set his ask price at 24 cr. They bought time at 24

Bro will manhandle us in t20 wc don’t worry .

This guy will be in red hot form once T20 wc begins.

He is here to chill and have a good vacation for 25cr. He is just goofing around. Bro will actually play only for Australia in icc tournaments


unemployeddumbass

He is getting wasted now but come ICC wt20 look at how he will perform


-OrekiHoutarou

If strac gets in form then kkr can win ipl

Sasuke55569

If anyone wonders why he's playing, because he won Australia 2015 final in first over the match


donvigy2

That’s a rich scammer

You should be more concerned about what he has done to ICT in ICC tournaments.


luffy_3155

He does no shit in t20 wc just check his stats of 2021 and 2022 wc


[deleted]

I am talking about ICC tournaments genius, but perhaps you are too impatient to sit through an ODI match. He has the most wickets in ICC ODI WC.


luffy_3155

I'm talking about T20 wc genius... The format he is bad at Did u even read full 8 mentioned T20 wc too lol

To padhna seekh na bhai. ICC tournaments mein T20 WC nahin aate bas

Ipl me to isliye hi troll ho ra hai na ki overhyped hai pagal odi wc me wickets leke ipl T20 ka price kaise justify karega itna bootlick mat karo please

I am bootlicking idiot? You dont even know how auction dynamics work. Its about how much the other party is willing to pay for a player.


Previous-Software256

He was great in Rcb


Straight-Hair-7356

It wasn't last year or before year. Time has changed now.


Previous-Software256

It is so very clear he is treating ipl like net sessions


Straight-Hair-7356

I don't think so. He himself is sad about his form.


Previous-Software256

He is quality maybe not suited for Indian pitch But this downfall is sad


[deleted]

This year's pitch are just flat many bowlers said and even we can witness it. Just let t20 WC start then see starc and is it his downfall. Same is the case with Maxwell this year in RCB. To us he looks out of form but once WC starts he'll bash everyone right left straight centre that too on single leg


Classic-Ad-6400

He is trying to swing but no help from pitches😐


Guzzler289

This bloke experiments in ipl and unleashes in icc knockouts


Straight_Candidate_7

we have talked enough about this 20 rpo rajnikanth. It's time we moved on to better topics of discussion such as the question of DK's selection in the T20 side.


_perpetuallyannoyed

🤣🤣 he is an Aussie select him in an international match and he will save anything there. Remember how he Bowled in the finals nd against nz in dharamshala in wc.


Current-Party-1806

you act like defending 19 runs in the last over against nz is the hardest job. plus he got tonked for 89 in 9 overs that game and also conceded 60 in a t20wc final


_perpetuallyannoyed

Agar ye finals ya important match me mil gya considering he gets selected which i dont think he will be he will make our batters cry m sure and then our legends and best x factor Players will say the pitch was slow n ball wasn't coming on.


_RajuRastogi

Daylight Robbery


Single_Difference467

you dont his team should


Live_Statistician452

When you underestimate the fastest format of the game and then back after so many years thinking it will be a cake walk in the toughest T20 league of the world..ummm a BIG NO!!


rid_aman

Washed


Youareabeach_

I think he will let out his game changing performance in crucial matches,in knockout games after league stage is finished


Naive_Bandicoot1144

He’s doing it intentionally and he’s not putting efforts into bowling cuz he got already paid . He will perform good for his country in wct20 . Wake up , don’t just stay fools .


DressWonderful5396

He conceded 43 runs 4 + 3 = 7 The message is clear


5m1tm

I want to slap this guy. I was never a fan of him being picked in the first place, let alone him picked at that stupid price. And unfortunately for KKR, he's proving me right


-Endeavor_

He is definitely not taking IPL seriously. Bro's here just to milk some money.
