IPL boredom

I've lost track of the IPL and when the group stage finishes - when does the exciting knock out bit begin?

Perhaps it's because I don't have ITV4 and don't have a broadband connection that would allow me to watch YouTube coverage without annoying screen freezes (not to mention a lack of available time!), but I'm now totally bored of this part of the competition. Whenever anything amazing happens friends send me clips of great catches, misfields, great balls and great shots so hopefully I'm not missing much. If someone can let me know when the group stages are over, that would be greatly appreciated, and then I'll take a bit more of an interest....

That said, ITV seem to be doing pretty well out of it, and Modi deserves some praise for giving away the UK rights to the IPL cheaply to stimulate a bit of much needed interest outside India.

It would help if I could understand anything that Andre Nel says.

If you do nothing else look at David Hussey's catch on YouTube. Like Adam Voges' catch in Feb 2009 only better.

That's the one where he drops it and then recovers brilliantly isn't it? Could have saved himself a whole lot of bother if he'd caught it first time!!

I find Andre Nel easy to understand - must be that Surrey accent of his that's confusing you !

As for the IPL, still enjoying the entertainment, although ITV's coverage is just awful with a host of presenters who clearly know absolutely sweet fa about cricket. Live streaming at work breaks up the afternoon though !
