India is in very comfortable position but main news is... Kohli is still searching for his 71st.
Amazing performance from Indian side after having first batting today they completely outclass Sri Lankan bowling with very big total on board 357/6 in just 85 overs, feeling sad for Pant as he deserves this triple figure in this match after having very good batting throughout the day but sadly again can't handle pressure of this nerve's nineteen's.

Today Kohli was playing his 100th test, and I was also very excited about his batting because now it is very long time he is in not good touch and deserve something big on this great occasion, but sadly he also dismisses for just 46 hopefully tomorrow we will watch 450+ from Indian side with this score most chances this match is going to end very quickly because Sri Lankan batting side is not strong enough to handle Indians here in this match, and they can lose this match very quickly as on first day their moral is down with very good batting from quality players.
My better half had a pass for 1st day of gameplay but due to busy schedule i failed to visit stadium. I missed the Kohli inning on telly but watched the Pant's madness for like to 30 mins. Extremely happy for him along with the Vihari (this guy is real successor or Dravid and Pujara at number 3 and i want him to succeed in future)



India is extremely lucky to have Jaddu-Ash duo at no 7-8. One of the major reason they are ridiculously dominant at home. Because of this combination, even draw match looks like a lose at home conditions.




Guys IPL is about to start, feel free to join the pool if you're interested.

You're welcome to join as well and one humble request please edit your post. Quoting OP without editing is not good practice in general.

@JSRAW,
Please PM me around a week before the tournament starts. Right now superbru has not listed the tournament yet that's why I can not create the pool there yet. Usually they do it few days before a tournament starts. So hopefully we will see it soon.

I would suggest everyone to start sending their fees and request JS to make a list of the members who already sent their payment. I saw in other thread you have suggested 0.0007 BTC which looks good to me. Still I am keeping an eye on this thread let me know what you all decide to pay for the fees.
Yeah, i checked it and i thought that my account had some sort of restrictions, even created new account just to check lol

With price going up and down i think 0.0007 BTC would be in between 25-30 bucks so should be fine for everyone. Hope no more dip....

* Jason Roy took break from the cricket due to personal reason so he pulled out his name from this season. Gujrat bought him on base price. No update on back-up overseas player.
* Apart from Roy, few Australian player won't able to take part at start, may be week or so because of Pak vs Aus bilateral series (ODI+T-20). Although Cummins, Hazelwood, Warner are free after test series and not participating in LOI against Pakistan, but they are stuck due to national contract which is valid reason i suppose. For some it does sounds weird clause - Contracted player can't take part in league until bilateral series ends-


New Team setup after Mega auction. Before the auction every team had a option of retaining only 3-4 players (including 1 foreign player) .

Team like Lucknow, Delhi and Punjab failed to fill their quota of 8 foreign players, few also failed to get Indian players and purse is pretty much empty so not sure if they are allowed to pick anyone later. Picking Indian uncapped players won't be tough but buying foreign player could be tough due to budget.

I want Pakistan to whitewash Australia but it should be hard fought victory. Heard that 1st test might get washed out due to rain -last 2 days-.
Pindi's pitch do favor Australian style of gameplay so draw result seems good from Pakistan's perspective.
Having said that it would be fun to watch if Pak treat Aussie the same way, Aussie treated the Poms.

It's going to be hard for Pakistan to win against Australia in my opinion because of the injuries to their fast bowlers. I think it's going to be hard, especially at Rawalpindi. I like the fact that both teams are honoring their legendary leg spinners. Everything seems to be going according to plan and I really e like what I am hearing about this series till now.
 
For both team this is going to be tough one. Australia is strong unit but we shouldn't forget that this is their first tour of Pakistan after very long time. Props to them if they successfully cross the finishing line but Pakistan playing at home so they do have slight advantage. Don't know much about other guy but Abdul Qadir is fine choice.

They are currently rank no 1 test team so it obvious that they won't say, yeah we might lose the series or we have virtually no chance of winning. Every player or coaching staff from any country would say the same thing (including things like yeah "it would be tough tour") if reporter asking them such ques during interviews or any press conference.

Actually, I sometimes think that the reporters ask quite dumb questions. because obviously, players are going to say that they are really confident and have the capability of winning every match in the series. And probably say something to intermediate the opponent also. I am actually looking forward to seeing some sledding in the matches from both teams.
Every media house wants sensational news for more clicks and no one can do anything about it cause stupidity is new norm.
2810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 03, 2022, 09:19:55 AM
They are left with 7 test match ( 3 series). If they want to qualify for the finals without depending on any other team's result then they need minimum 6 wins.

Home - 2 tests against Sri Lanka
Away -  2 against Pakistan and 3 against England

Let's say they successfully beat SL easily at home but they still need to win 4 games against Pak and Eng, which i think would be very tough and really need a miracle because Pakis are no dummy imo. Already said about England, they are dead in WTC and hit the rock bottom. Their trajectory can only go up from here so i believe they will perform okay from now on, at least at home.

This means that New Zealand they can only lose one match out of 7 scheduled tests. Its difficult from here but not impossible as they have 5 matches against SL and England. I go with @Sithara007 thats too early to predict that who will qualify for the final as Aus and SL have played only one series so far. If Australia manage to beat Pakistan in upcoming test series then surely they have chance to reach final of WTC 2022. 
Cricket is funny game so i won't rule out this possibly that's why i said they need miracle.

Hardly a early stage for a team if they already played 3 series and crawling at point table, don't forget every team can play only 6 series. Although point system is based on Win ratio but indirectly connected to a series as well. Point is early stage argument is good if team played only 1-2 series.

Current standing..
2811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 03, 2022, 05:54:20 AM
It is too early to predict who will qualify for the WTC finals at this point. Although I am not going to deny the fact that New Zealand has suffered a couple of setbacks recently, it is unfair to discount their chances. They still have the best test batsman (Kane Williamson) and the best pace attack in the world (Boult/Wagner/Jamieson/Henry/Southee/Milne). Right now, none of the other teams can match their team balance. The only domain where they are lagging behind is in spin department. They dominate in all the other departments.
They are left with 7 test match ( 3 series). If they want to qualify for the finals without depending on any other team's result then they need minimum 6 wins.

Home - 2 tests against Sri Lanka
Away -  2 against Pakistan and 3 against England

Australia also looking for whitewash, Nathan Lyon: 'My mindset is to win 3-0 in Pakistan'

Pakistan had previously whitewashed Australia but in UAE back in 2014, 2-0 and since Australia haven't played in Pakistan for 2 decades so its very hard to say who is being whitewashed here. Right now Pakistan Cricket Board focus is only is successful conduction of this tour, team performance is secondary thing.

Not just hard but close to zero chances for them.

This is current report for all the series.

NZ - 1 home series (SL)  and 2 away series (ENG + PAK). Eng hit the rock bottom but i think they will do okay from here. They need a miracle.

India's chances doesn't good because they need to win majority of their remaining games, even draw matches can ruin their chances but i would be very happy if proven wrong. (point system based on win %)


@JSRAW I’m frankly quiet surprised to see that NZ has very less chance of defending their title, but not surprised to see team India among the favourites to reach the finals. Also a key thing to consider here is that team India has dropped two non performing player’s, and this could either work for them or could be wrong move as those player’s could have played better in the home conditions what do you think of team India’s decision?.
Well, luck runs out for everyone and Williamson is not available due to injury so this is another reason. Williamson being injured and another classy batter Lathom is out of form not helping their cause and due to this their batting department showing some weakness at least in last 6 matches, they completely failed in India. Bangladesh and South Africa managed to win 1 game each as well.

In 10-12 years India has lost only 3 matches at home so replacing Rahane-Pujara for home condition is not going to hurt at all and its a best decision. India can find new batters easily from domestic when playing at home, even debutant will do better job than those 2, we already have Shreyas's inning against NZ as recent example. Overseas series are tricky tho.

No problem whatsoever with them winning the WTC title but if we look at closely without any bias then all system looks dodgy, having said that rules are same for every team. Some got better deal out of it and some missed out the opportunity so its part of the game.

I doubt if NZ is going to qualify in this cycle, they already played 3 series and won only 2 matches. The best they can do is play spoiler role for other parties.

SA should fancy there chances for the finals as they bring their A game against Australia (another tough series). Pak is in strong position as they are playing in subcontinent only. Aus also looking strong but they are facing Pak, Ind and India in subcontinent, which is not easy task. SL could also surprise us if they successfully draw the upcoming series against India. India need to play quality cricket and win most of their remaining fixture (7 out of 9) if they want to play finals again.

Newzealand is obviously going to have a really hard time defending their title and I don't see them being successful doing it. Because they have had a really bad start.

I thought Australia has a good chance but they have lots of games in sub-continent and away conditions and I don't see them doing too good in certain situations.

India seems to be a good choice for picking to be in the finals again. I am really hopeful about South Africa though, they have shown good performance and also a really strong test side.

SA is trying to make inroads in WTC point table now. Kolapak system is not the problem anymore so no more excuses, hope they continue this kind of performance in future as well.

Yeah in recent time, under Williamson this kiwi team become excellent unit and they always punch above their weight. Having said that other SENA country Australia also don't take them seriously in Tests, for example CA treat them as their bunny and don't take their bilateral Trans-Tasman Trophy seriously because NZ hardly put any fight into it.

Now i'm starting to feel that Kiwis winning WTC was kinda due to flawed WTC system. They qualified into the finals despite not playing a single match away from home and Final was in England, so favorable condition for them. Result could have been very different if final was schedule in subcontinent or Caribbean.

Actually, the change of venues Could certainly be problematic for New Zealand. Now, we have to accept that they are the WTC champions. But now I think that South Africa is going to give them a good fight for their title and probably will also be able to win the championship in my opinion. But that's a long way to go, And yes currently, the Kolapak system not being an issue, will also help the South Africans to form a better squad.

I knew that Proteas record was good against the Kiwis but i never imagined that Protea's had such dominance when playing against the kiwis. Protea are yet to lose any series, that's some fine record and may be it's a NZ version of final frontier.



Actually, I also did not know about this record. And now as I come to know about this I am in absolute awe of the South African test cricket team. Because Newzealand is no easy team to beat. They are also the test cricket champions currently and to have a record like that against the champions is just absolutely great and shows how good this team is at test cricket.

Going to repeat my rant about bilateral series here.

These kind of series are waste of time as far as international cricket is concern, no board, even bcci is not going to generate enough revenue in longer run if they keep going with the bilateral series.

Future Belongs to franchise cricket or quadrilateral series, this might give some breathing space to cricketers with their schedule ,talking about Indian team schedule here specially, which sucks if you look at it.
Do you really think that ICC will allow that to happen, when it comes to franchise cricket they can pick the best players available in the world and it can be more entertaining but the cricket boards will have the revenue as long as they are able to sell the broadcasting rights and that is where the major revenue is and then comes the advertising on a particular series and as long as they are getting that money they will be happy.
In context of Limited overs International ICC don't care about bilateral series much because they don't earn single penny from these affairs. Similarly ICC won't mind status quo or any change, as long as they are getting dedicated window for ICC event every year and its up to individual cricket boards to decide, if they are into franchise, quadrilateral or bilateral competition.

Indian team is play ridiculous amount of cricket throughout the year, even in pandemic. No wonder players keep getting injured.

From Indian perspective i would prefer if India playing these tournaments instead of bilateral T-20 series.

- Asia cup (Ind + Pak + Afg + Ban +SL + Singapore )
- quadrilateral or multiple nation series ( India + Aus + Eng + SA+NZ +WI)

Then after that we have IPL + ICC event every year + 3-4 test series every year.

For test format i want Relegation setup without any doubt.
