Based on the situation in North American countries I can say we are going to see a much better world cup than we saw in Qatar because they have enough stadiums to host the games and unlike Qatar, they don't take it hard for the visitors in their country about drinking alcohol which can be a good reason to say people who go America for watching world cup games will have better times there comparing to Qatar.

In the last 3 balls, Chennai super kings only needed 7 runs but they could not score this and lost this match.

This tournament is very much over for DC, they were 5th in last IPL but yet to win a game in there 5 appearances. Warner scored 51 runs on 47 balls in last game and 65 runs on 55 balls in game against RR. I am sure his stats will be similar in other two games also, the point is despite his slow run rate he is the only one who is scoring runs. Apart from him there is one or two players who scores more then 20 to 30 runs. DC have placed responsibility of batting on Warner alone.

I also believe 8 to 12 test matches in one year is not possible but as I already mention if we are able to have 10 to 14 test matches in two years this is also good idea because this will increase quality and performance as well to many teams which are having good domestic system and able to bring test playing players because now they can do all their strategy with WTC final which is going to play after every two years this is also good idea but here we need to have better support from big countries as well.

The Ashes and BGT trophies are good as these teams are competitive in finance and playing quality, but others have no luxury like this which is big case here ICC and big countries can help all others which could be surely vital for this format and his long life.

CSK still need 54 runs to win from 18 balls but MSD is not yet showing any urgency yet, trying to rotate the strike rather than going for the big hit. If he takes the team to victory from this stage it will be an incredible game plan, if not it will be an blunder.

because obviously the European leagues look much more exciting in some clubs and I think that "Magic" will go away.

And for the thousand times, there is no concept of PIG-4 anywhere (officially or unofficially). You keep repeating this like a broken record.

If talking about weak sides facing India in India or one-sided matches then they should host matches against Australia only.

In my recent memory, no team gave any competition to the Indian team. 2017 BGT was very competitive, recent BGT was okay, other than that I hardly remember anyone challenging the Indian team, including Poms. Kiwis hardly count as they don't get long series.

The day-Night setting for Test cricket should be an obvious choice, especially in the Indian sub-continent due to the hot climate but not many countries host D/N tests here. Only BCCI hosted 2 D/N tests and they are still struggling with ball quality and trying to find the balance.

Ideally, ICC should make a rule that if there is a 3 or more matches series then 1 match should be D/N. ICC could also relax its rating system for pitches in D/N matches as it's going through a lot of testing, which is related to Pink balls.

These two teams India and Pakistan have devotion in almost all countries. India and Pakistan are two very popular teams. But I think if those who like to watch cricket play, they will listen to the game of India and Pakistan team. I think they have a lot of work to do.  They will finish their work later and enjoy the game of two teams first. So it can be said that many fans are still waiting to watch the game of India and Pakistan. I support Pakistan. But if there is any game of India, I will watch the match of India.  I don't miss it because I like watching India play a lot.

Mustafizur Rahman has been bowling 19th over in IPL for years since he was playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad. So, he must be one of the specialist in death  bowling and in yesterday match also, he was good for first 4 balls of 19th over but last 2 balls were hit for sixes which helped MI to need only 5 runs in the last over still Anrich Nortje showed his class and he almost pulled it but lack of support from fielders (Mukesh Kumar dropped a catch and improper throw) led him to concede required runs.

It is surprising that Trump is shown on TV and discussed on multiple platforms more than the current sitting president of the US.

I can see how the US might end up voting for Trump, because at the end of the day the presidential elections are kinda just like a celebrity contest.

It's not just about Muslim countries having rules about drinking alcohol and nudity or any other rules, there are some rules in any country and all the visitors should respect these rules in Qatar, I saw many people say they can drink alcohol even in stadiums but they need to spend more money and buys more expensive tickets which is a bad side of the story when some people are allowed to break rules and some other people are not allowed.

It doesn't even have to be a Muslim country. In Brazil they had laws that prohibited the sale of alcohol inside the stadium, but when FIFA brought the world cup there, they simply changed the law, and sold alcohol in the stadiums.

At the end of the day, money talks.

Surely it must ever be a hit for England to win a title? At the last European Championship they were very close, but Italy threw a spanner in the works. The last World Cup could have gone very differently if Italy had managed to qualify, but that does not count. England is always one of the favorites to win the title, but personally I think France is at a slightly higher level at the moment. We also see this in the performance of recent years, in which England reached the final of the European Championship once, and has not achieved anything at all in the past 20 years?
