Cricket match prediction discussions

[JSRAW]

Hehe Ikr tabhi toh bola BCCI should propose this bill in ICC meeting and see how ICC shit their bed. This will ensure that BCCI would not get unnecessary backlash of being greedy and killing the game, especially from English media.

According to recent news Indian broadcasters are not participating in the mock auction, unless ICC make the bidding process transparent. Let's see what happens next.

BCCI is always blamed for being greedy, despite the fact that the ECB-CA-CNZ are the ones who harm the associate nations the most. The current chairman (Greg Barclay) tried to sabotage the Olympic inclusion of cricket several times, and only timely intervention of players and the IOC kept the chances for 2028 Games alive. As long as businessmen such as Barclay takes decisions, there will be allegations of corruption. I sincerely hope that the Indian and overseas media houses will refuse to take part in this scam auction.

I've no problem on BCCI getting backlash for right reasons but it shouldn't be one way street, which is the case right now especially from SENA media and Pundits ( Barring SA).

I won't single out him only, it's just whole ecosystem only look for their own interest and give virtue signals when it suits them

Barclay deserves whatever backlash that is directed against him. The only instance when we had a worse chairman for the ICC was when Sharad Pawar got in to that position. And interestingly, elections are due in a few months from now. Barclay says that he wants another term, which may not be acceptable for the BCCI. Sourav Ganguly has given hints that he is interested in this position. Kumar Sangakkara is another name that has surfaced recently. Either of these two will be a lot better for cricket when compared to Barclay.

1000th page everyone. That is a big, big milestone. Wow! Surprised that nobody talked about this yet. This particular cricket discussion thread is easily one of the longest threads in the entire forum.

@fullypak who is basically a dim-witted account seller is the creator of this thread and has been inactive since 2019. I guess that's the only disappointing aspect of this thread.

WoW!!!

I remember that a few months back we had a discussion whether to keep this thread. There are separate threads for ODI, T20 and test formats and the question was whether we need a general thread or not. Back then I had supported keeping this one, because we need a place to discuss issues related to cricket in general, and not specifically related to any of the formats. Almost never noticed that this topic was created by an account seller. He probably got negative trust and created a fresh account here.

Amazing stuff from cricket fans even we have limited members those are interested in this topic and cricket but still a big achievement but if we have no other few threads then surely right now we have almost double of these figures because I just check we already have around 30,000 posts on other three threads with around 300,000 views which mean this could be near one million and posts could be almost double but still a good achievement for all cricket fans here on this forum.

Hopefully this love for cricket will be gone ahead by time despite any personal or national issues because sometimes I feel we have few members those go beyond limits which is good but still staying into better environment is good for all of us and this community.
Congrats Mates.

But with the change of time and the help of technology, poison cricket has improved a lot. Nowadays many new technologies have been added through which the game can be managed accurately on the field Earlier DRS preparation film in the game of cricket but nowadays DRS in cricket has become a very important technology. Because the wrong decision given by the umpire can be easily proven through DRS technology And wrong decisions lead to fresh opportunities to correct those mistakes which is very good for cricket

Yes,Technology has taken to another level for the purity of cricket. Where even if the umpires' decisions are wrong, the accuracy is checked with technology. A lot of technology in cricket has improved the quality of the game. Such as use of Spidercam, UltraEdge, cricketing decision review system. As of lately these issues are deeply related to cricket.

Earlier we used to see many wrong decisions in cricket leading to many controversies and many untoward incidents on the field as well.But due to the improvement of this technology, that opportunity is no more, now cricket is played very beautifully on the field Even if the field umpire gives a wrong decision, the third umpire scrutinizes it very well and gives the right decision.

Agreed. It's a good thing that this thread didn't get locked. We need a general cricket discussion thread in order to randomly post about any particular format without searching for the specific thread related to it.

Many cricket enthusiasts focus way too much on the financial and political aspects of the game rather than focusing on the entertainment factor. Think people!

The game played under the rain law is commonly called the DLS method. The DLS method has generated a lot of controversy at present. Many times it is seen that the laws of DLS make a very simple equation very difficult resulting in a candidate pressure among the players. I think it is necessary to make sure that the law is fair before playing in the rain Because if the decision is not in everyone's favor then cricket Cricket will lose its popularity so I must think again about the DLS method.

The DLS (Duckworth-Lewis-Stern) Method has been there for many decades and also it was controversial in the past too. I remember the 1992 world cup semi-final, where England won against South Africa on the basis of DLS. DLS method sometimes gives an unfair advantage to the team batting first and makes the target really tough for the team batting second.

The DLS method is something that I am not a fan of, to be honest. The whole cricketing world has certainly seen some dumb decisions taken because of the DLS method. We have seen a lot of teams losing a winning match because of the DLS method which changes the equation drastically. This DLS method really needs to be revised. Cricket is already losing its popularity quite a bit in my opinion. And things are not going to improve unless ICC starts fixing the problems that Cricket has right now. In this day and age, I think the DLS method is one of them.

There is some bad news coming in. Sourav Ganguly has made it clear that he is not interested in becoming the ICC Chairman. And this further means that the corrupt Greg Barclay will continue as the ICC chairman for the next two years or so. The elections are due in November this year, and at this point it looks as if Barclay will be elected without any significant opposition, as he is the pig-4 nominee. I just hope that the boards outside the pig-4 unite this time around and get their nominee elected instead of Barclay.

Even if Sourav Ganguly gets elected as the next ICC chairman nothing is gonna change. ICC will operate same as what we see now. Look at the situation of BCCI, there were big expectation over Sourav Ganguly when elected. What happened till date is nothing new. Whether it is Barclay or Ganguly ICC will remain to function same as now prioritising money.

It is unlikely that many things will never change. There must be someone more reliable this time. It is crucial that the ICC get credible leaders, but most of the recent ICC presidents have made very biased decisions, which have not helped the game. Nevertheless, few things have already stabilized, be it money priorities or a particular board. It doesn't seem to be improving.

I second that completely. I was also very happy when Dada took the charge but he turned out to be a big disappointment on many occasion, which is kinda surprising because before taking chief role in BCCI he was competent administrator in bengali cricket board for quite some time and had a reputation of getting things done.

So i think it's not a bad thing if he not the contender for ICC chief. Likes of Kumble, Kumar Sangakkara might be a good options if they get the chance.

Sourav Ganguly as the BCCI president did OK, IMO. I would still prefer him over businessmen and politicians from the Srinivasan-Pawar mafia. However I have a feeling that it is Jay Shah and Anurag Thakur who are taking most of the decisions. Anyway, for the post of ICC chairman, Kumar Sangakkara is a good option. I don't know much about Anil Kumble as an administrator and in case he is interested then there maybe two nominees from pig-4. I just hope that some ex-player will be elected in November instead of these businessmen such as Barclay.

I'm not against Ganguly, but just remember those days of him getting sworn as BCCI President. He said his priority will be on first class cricket. During the pandemic the domestic cricketers suffered and not even a single rupee paid for them. It have taken years for them to receive compensation. For the very first time the 2020-2021 Ranji Trophy got cancelled, but the IPL was been organised. This is how he have done against expectation.

I too believe Sangakara to be a good choice. We don't know the reality, but he's well and good compared to the business personalities contesting.

We all know that there are other sports in Olympics but cricket is not included in Olympic sport at present. As only a few countries participate in cricket, the game of cricket is not as popular as the game of football.If cricket is included in the Olympics, different countries will participate in the Olympics, which will lead to more countries joining cricket As a result of which the spread of cricket will increase all over the world and cricket will become a popular game like football. Hopefully ICC will take this step soon.

Those who cannot participate in corruption will never want to get into that kind of position. Moreover, ICC is an institution where the powerful will not agree to give up power despite hundreds of complaints. In this way this organization has been running for a long time.

I'll focus on his fuckups only
-Not giving up chair despite his tenure got over
- Domestic players didn't get salary on time, it took them 1 year to sort out this situation.
- Derailing WIPL
- Last but not the least mishandling issue of Kohli, Dada fucked it up. He and his so called sources were shit too.

They don't really care about the Olympics since money is what primarily matters to them. Let's face it. The Olympics and similar events aren't money generating tournaments and focus more on prestige.

Don't expect Cricket to become a part of the Olympics anytime soon.

Didn't know about some of these issues. He's simply a corrupt individual who replaced another corrupt individual and will get replaced by some other corrupt individual. It's as simple as that.
