Why would ICC intervene in a tournament that is not governed by them? Just to let you know it is not funded by ICC. It gets it revenue from broadcasting right generated through any tournament conducted by it for example Asia cup. Which country contributes more to its funding, the answer is simple India. Therefore I do not think ICC would intervene in the Asia cup.


I doubt PCB would get any compensation. Jay Shah would simply cite recent terror activities in Pakistan as the reason for shifting the venue. The ACC is not liable to pay any compensation. If Pakistan pulls out of ACC then it will be a big mistake as it won't get any support from other boards in this council. BTW all full members except India are going through an economic crisis. Just to let you know apart from these two countries the other full members are Srilanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.

Why are we even discussing this topic when we know what will be the outcome?

Yesterday, DK was interacting with fans on Twitter, and when asked about the biggest threat for India in the upcoming BGT. He said, Nathan Lyon and Steve Smith.



Nathan has an impressive record in tests he has already taken 436 wickets in 115 matches. In India, he has taken 34 wickets in just 7 matches. In my opinion, he is a big threat to Indian batters. Steve Smith has been good against Indian bowlers. Out of 6 test matches played in India, he has scored 660 runs which includes 3 centuries and a half-century. 

WOMEN'S T20WC 2023

The first match will be played on the 10th of February between South Africa and Srilanka. The most important match in this WC would be played on the 12th between India and Pakistan.

A partial payment of USDT 70 out of 170 was sent. Please check and confirm. Thanks.

BGT starts tomorrow! Pretty much excited about it. I was trying to find out which Indian captain had more success in wining the BGT and the answer was simple Mahendra Singh Dhoni.



Can Rohit Sharma beat this record? What do you guys think?

I agree England, Australia, and the US have the potential to generate more revenue than India but cricket is the least popular game in these countries. In England, people are crazy about Football. In the US they are crazy about NFL and in Australia Rugby. Still, the English and Aussies love watching test cricket more than other formats.

If you combine the population of both Pakistan and Bangladesh it would be still less than India but the popularity of cricket is the same in these two countries as in India. The only issue is that the internet penetration and private broadcaster is less when you compare it with India. In every Indian household, you will find a TV with a DTH connection as both are very cheap. OTT is still new but is rapidly growing as everyone now can afford a smartphone in India with a cheap internet plan.  You might hear that in the next 5 years, BCCI might start auctioning the OTT rights separately if the internet penetration within India keeps on growing like it has been for some time now.

Both are criminals and both should be punished. Ross Ulbricht is already serving his sentence. I have no qualms against him anymore. The real problem at the moment is Sam Bankman Fried. He is still not in prison because the US justice system is not as competent as it seems. He has bribed them and living a luxurious life under the pretense of house arrest. This is the same guy who made millions by using his ponzi token and caused so much pain as well as panic in the mind of investors. Many are still struggling to survive but this guy is enjoying his life in his house. He needs to go to jail!

Having multiple accounts and then participating in bounty campaigns would result in negative trust. If you have seen such account then check whether these accounts are participating in any bounty campaigns. If yes, then report them to the respective bounty managers. They will look into it and act accordingly.

I think he broke the jaw of Healy without even shucking and jiving with his bear fist. He is an intellectual cricketer and knows where and when to put his word in order to win in a debate. I will never forget that win by Ashwin against Pakistan but I would never forget his performance in that tournament too.


I believe that history will repeat itself. I also believe that we will maintain the lead and we will win this series too. Optimism has its own way and mine is my team.

Bro! From where do you get this information about the safety of anyone living in both countries? Why are you so desperate for Indian players to visit Pakistan? What would happen if Indian players do not visit Pakistan? What is the need or the urge for you to post such a reply? Just take a chill pill bro and please stop advocating for the safety & security of Indian players if they visit Pakistan.

You know and I know that Indian players will not visit Pakistan. We all know the history of these two nations. We also know how the Pakistan economy started to deteriorate after 2016.  Everything is available for you and your fellow brothers to read on the internet still you guys are posting the same shit.

All of this needs to be stopped as we are talking nonsense here and spamming a beautiful thread on cricket. Let's be wise and look forward to the neutral venue where both teams will play in the Asia cup and the ODIWC game that will be played in India.

The first match in BGT will be played in Nagpur. As I wanted to know how the pitch in Nagpur was prepared for past test series I did some research and found out that they are spinner friendly. I know most Australian batters are not that good with spin, there are some who are good but still I would consider them not good. Therefore I wanted to check when was the last time Australia played a test match in Nagpur and I found out that it was in 2008 when they played the 4th and final test of BGT back then. They eventually lost that test match and India won the BGT of 2008.

Do you think history would repeat itself in 2023?

Good to hear that finally, the government is looking to introduce crypto regulation. I do not think it will happen this year as I expected an announcement in the Budget. They will come up with ideas and formulate and implement them next year or in 2025. As next year we have the central election the government would not want to risk it as I feel the regulation would be harsh and might wipe out crypto in India so I am expecting 2025 will be the year.

Ultimately it will be hosted in UAE. Most probably Pakistan would boycott the Asia cup. I do not think they can afford to boycott ODIWC otherwise they will lose the ICC money. PCB cannot afford to lose that amount considering the present economic condition of Pakistan.

There are some things that are intimate! If possible do not go to that extreme where you can discuss a player's personal life. I mean let him be as he wants it to be. We only discuss here what we like or dislike about cricket, and players and also try to predict the future of cricket.

Anyways KL Rahul was not performing to his utmost best and if he is out I am not going to get panicked. We will have someone who might be better than him and new. It would be an awesome opportunity for that player to display his capabilities and outperform Rahul.

Pakistani won't understand the word No! As they have a weird constructive mind and imagination. They imagine that BCCI would come to the tables and
would say yes to their argument. A board that does not have money is representing a country that is on the verge of economic collapse and still, they have the guts to challenge the most powerful cricket board and an upcoming superpower country.

Being said that! As we Indians know they will now go to China and ask the Chinese for help in cricket lol! Whereas China is asking for help from India to get listed as a cricket team among the playing nations. PCB and the ruling government have become a joke for now. This country was a liar to its citizen and now the citizens know it all because Imran Khan Niyazi exposed the army. A week back I saw their PM on some mainstream media begging for help from India.

The under 19 team (both men &women) have performed exceptionally well in ICC tournaments. They have each won the T20WC against big countries which proves India has a good talent base. I do not know what happened to these players when they join the senior team, they start losing the same ICC tournaments. I guess the fame & money takes over the innocense and the zeal to perform. Last time India won the T20WC was in 2007.

This is a fantastic quote and I can relate this to my earnings which happens literally sometimes. Whenever it does happen it is tiny and it is still considered as a profit by me.

Adding another quote to this thread. My own and I would like to hear if you guys like it or if it relates to you.

England were able to save their face after struggling in the last two matches. As usual the English batted very well but the real reason they won the match was because of Archer. 6 wicket for just 40 runs is an incredible achievement after coming back from an injury. I hope he stays fit throughout this year and especially in the ODIWC. He is the only bowler that the English have who can easily snatch away the game from the opponent team.

S Gill is just a 23 year old Indian batter and they way this guys has been batting it seems by the age of 32 he might break the records set by Kholi. After his maiden 100 in T20 format he became the 5th India batter to score a century in this format. Lost interest in the match after Newzealand lost thier first wicket at a very early stage. SKY took two incredible catches yesterday at the slip. No one expected that he would be able to grab those balls.
