IPL - r the boudaries too small?

Question

2 centuries in two T20 matches..

coincidence ?? or small boundary syndrome??

Just observe the boundary ropes in today's matches and then comment. IMO yeterday in mohali vs chennai match, the boundary ropes were waaaay inside the ground

Q1. r the boundaries small? or players have gone mad?

Q2. shld they be small(for more 'entertainment')

Answer 1

Yer the boundaries are pretty small but if their weren't small boundaries i think the whole tournament would be a flop.

I mean look at Brendon Mcullum's innings, a lot of people are talking.

Answer 2

yes.

1.Not TOO small but small.

2.Yes

Answer 3

Yeah they are small, but they should remain that way...forces big totals and more entertainment

Answer 4

i dont mind it , we seeing lots of sixes

Answer 5

I also felt the boundaries were slightly shorter and should remain this way. Also the outfield was really fast.

Answer 6

Boundary is normal. It's the players who are making it look like small.

Answer 7

Yes the boundaries are small but that's the way to go in a T20 match. It's boring when the boundaries are too long like that of the MCC ground.

T20 symbolises 'entertainment for the viewers and spectators'.

Answer 8

I think the boundaries r definitely shortened..........every sport has standard dimensions for a ground...........its only cricket where there are no standard dimensions........except for the pitch..........and the bats are also getting better..........the willow is getting thicker in the middle.......

They should definitely not be small...........hitting only sixes is not entertainment for me..........the skill should be tested in every department........its getting too monotonous and predictable...........i think one day cricket and Test cricket is far superior in many aspects than 20-20.......

Answer 9

NAH!!!

cant b tru!

Answer 10

1. Boundaries are not small but the pitch is definitely made on batsmen favour to get more exciting cricket.

2. They shldn't be small as all the players participating in the IPL tournament are capable of putting over the ropes even at the longest boundary. If it is shortened then a shot played for a one bounce four will be converted to a six which will be boring and can't be entertaining as the bowlers will have very less scope of putting pressure on the batsmen.

Answer 11

a1) Boundaries for IPL are fixed at 65 yards from crease at all parts of the ground. They are very small.

a2) Entertainment is ok and fine , but think about bowlers man, they suffer a lot. I personally think boundaries should be 75 yards from the crease.
