Cricket match prediction discussions

Some interesting developments regarding the election to the post of ICC chairman. Greg Barclay announced that he will run for the post once again, supported by all the pig-4 boards (BCCI, ECB, CA and CNZ). The BCCI actually pulled back the name of Sourav Ganguly, in favor of Barclay. From the other side, Imran Khwaja was initially interested, but he pulled out after it became clear that he doesn't have the necessary support. For the elections, Barclay's opponent would be Tavengwa Mukuhlani, who is representing the smaller test nations and associates.

In all possibility, Barclay will be elected once again, as he seems to have the support of 10-11 members out of the total of 16. Even one associate representative (Pankaj Khimji from Oman) is firmly in the BCCI camp. Mukuhlani needs a miracle to win the race. If Barclay wins again, then there maybe a return to the pig-3 (now pig-4) model of revenue distribution, which was originally implemented by the trio of Narayanaswami Srinivasan, Giles Clarke and Wally Edwards.

There is still fair amount of time left in filing the nomination tho.

Also, BCCI and Dada made their intentions clear that they are not interested, maybe the situation could change in the next month. A new form of revenue model will come for sure, the question is when? Realistically i think changes would come in the next 5 years or 8 years (next media rights window). Having said that this year December is going to be very crucial once the real numbers come out, this will set the tone for upcoming revenue drama.

Wishing Happy Birth Day to "Virat Kohli"

Virat Kohli is a unique name in cricket history. He has various records in his possession. Virat Kohli established his name by winning the U-19 World Cup in 2008. Since then, he has strengthened his position in the Indian national team. Due to his amazing performance, the number of fans has increased a lot. He has been criticized in many ways. However, he has had to struggle a lot in recent times due to his loss of form. But at the moment he is in pretty good in form. Best wishes for his future journey.

Happy birthday Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli was born on 5th November 1998Now he is getting old 34 years. From the day he joined Indian cricket, Indian cricket found a new star. He has many records next to his name for Indian cricket which no cricketer has been able to do so far. Till now he is playing cricket in that great form He plays cricket as if cricket is an art to him. He adapts to whatever format he needs to adapt to. I wish Virat Kohli a long life and hope you connect him with something better in his cricketing career in the future. the

I think that they are really trying to bring back the big three systems which are going to be the big four if it does come back. I am quite sure that India will be the strongest because they will bring in the most amount of money.

Ganguly is not interested, probably because he did not do a good job. He probably wouldn’t have been supported anyway to be the right person if the big four plans were about to be set in motion. By the looks of things, it does seem like a big four plan is coming up. And if it does happen, I think the revenue system is going to be a lot more fucked up than it already is.

If it was up to BCCI then they would've liked a PIG-1 system where they alone taking a lion share but it's not possible at all unless they take some drastic steps, which no one would like.

There is no big 4 bhai. it's only Ind+Aus+Eng.

By Big 4, I think one mean to say England, Aus, India and Newzealand. This Big 3 or 4 system has dstroyed the cricket system. In recent WC there were some controversal decisons given by umpires in favout of India. Its simply because no one wanna lose his share of IPL

I don't know what is wrong with Indian. Very bad behaviour by BCCI

2 dodgy run outs decisions also went against the Indian Team in very crucial moments but you don't see the Indian team, former players or fans for that matter, making any big deal about it as everybody knows it's just part of the game and it could happen to anyone. 

The Indian team got lucky tho, not because of the umpires but brain fade moment of their opposition. Somehow in crucial moments, they forget the free hit/2 bouncers rules.

I would prefer a pig-1 system when compared to pig-4. Let ECB and CA get a taste of their own medicine. I would still use the term pig-4, because CNZ is more rabid than any of the other three cricket boards in their hatred towards the associate nations. And as a reward for their hatred, they have their guy as the chairman of the ICC. For the elections, Barclay will be having the confirmed support from India, NZ, Australia, England and Oman. CSA went with the pig-4 last time in the second round. WICB and Afghanistan Cricket Board may also go with pig-4.

Even if it is a big three or Big four, I don’t think it matters at this point. India is going to be the leader of them anyway, because they will be bringing in the most amount of money to the ICC.
So, I don’t think India is going to face too many problems at all. The ICC considers them to be their favorite child.

And if someone don’t think India is favoured a lot of times by the ICC, either he is an Indian or he is just too dumb to realise the politics going on in the ICC.
It’s pretty simple. India brings in the most money and is therefore favoured by the ICC.

Guess it'll become a reality soon.

I don't count them in this group as NZC hardly gets any benefit from the Barclay, if that was the case then NZC would be getting a regular bilateral series from the BIG-3. They do play with England but playing against Aus and India is very rare.

Take another ex; Shakib was not out today but the umpire gave him out. Does that mean ICC deliberately helped Pakistan? No, it was just a dumb call from the 3rd umpire. No one making any fuss about it. Hope you get the gist.

Off-the-field politics is a different matter and you like it or not, it's there to stay due to a power struggle but when teams are playing or competing on the ground, ICC can't do shit.

Do Umpires make mistakes? Yeah, they do and it's bound to happen, sometimes decisions benefit one team sometimes the opposition.

Fans and experts have a choice, keep playing the victim cards/look for conspiracy theories or simply move on. The majority opt for the latter.

[noormcs5]

Has anyone seen this news that Gunathilaka charged for alleged sexual assault, arrested in Sydney.

The below text from this news which makes me surprised is that he did intercourse with women without her consent ? How can an international player does such a bad act? This is just disgusting and bring bad name to the sri lanka team and nation.

"He was taken to Sydney City Police Station and charged with four counts of sexual intercourse without consent.

Even this all is useless, and we are talking about things which are not going to happen in this sports organization with mostly boards are looking for their own stakes and benefits but here we can do few things which may be ended in a big failure or beneficial for all like in above posts someone saying one big option is also good even not possible, but they can go ahead with this with just India is in position to do things like this because they are alone superpower in cricket due to their market and revenue share, so they have to pursue all give them vote for their supremacy or wait for the consequences of they will not give any share of their market to any one even it's just daytime dream but for me can happen.

In other case we have to accept all big partners on equal basis like we need to have 10 boards as full and all others as associate with half vote and give them share after their performance in all year which could be better top ten have their share bigger than ten mean top twenty can go with good amount and others are as things going which could be brought better end of this all issues and every time we have president after two years which will came through by votes.

Good use of words conspiracies and theories fail and Pakistan in semifinal even your words have deep impact, but I am not going to argue with you because India is doing all things under ICC and just because of their old cricketers and fans are not having any words about them.
I am not going to start any new topic for this hated politics and conspiracy but still this world cup is having many controversies which needs to be settled but no one interested and just because of this your old players are also happy with this all, and they never talk about any wrong thing publicly.

there are so many hints that this is going to happen - umpires are siding India and it is the talk of the town

I understand the point that you are making. I am definitely not opposed to anything that you have said. However, I have not seen this type of mistake being made in any other sport, at least not recently.

Especially with all the technology available right now it is quite surprising that mistakes like this are being made in cricket!!

I agree that mistakes can be made. To err is human. But when you have the appropriate tools available, you should not make mistakes, that's what I believe. I literally do not understand how a third umpire can make mistakes. There is an unwritten rule that if something is 50/50 the benefit of the doubt goes to the batsman. But we also see things happening the other way around as well.

There should be equal rights for every team. Which apparently ICC is unable to provide. I actually agree that things are looking like it is going to be another big three or four systems. But with that, I think the future of cricket is doomed. Additionally, if systems like this continue to be implemented on smaller teams or associate countries who may not be able to play cricket regularly, that eventually means better revenue for the ICC.

The 2022 T20 World Cup umpiring controversy has come up a lot. In the India vs Bangladesh match we saw that the game was off for some time due to rain But as soon as the rain stopped, the umpires decided to start the game where the field was wet And another controversial decision is not to fine Virat Kohli for fake fielding. There has already been a lot of writing about this topic in the net world. We saw this in the last match of Bangladesh and Pakistan. Shakib's controversial out there cannot be accepted in any way Shakib LBW was the victim of Sadab Khan's ball coming down the wicket When the Pakistani players appealed, the umpire immediately responded and decided to dismiss Shakib. Shakib immediately took a review when the field umpire dismissed Shakib. Where it was clearly seen that the ball first hit the bat and then the pad. But there the third umpire upheld the decision of the field umpire and signaled Shakib out. These issues have led to much criticism of the Ampere issue.

What is the purpose of ICC still unclear to the public. Someone think the money belongs to the ICC. Cricket will never progress if this attitude is not removed. It should be handled properly and carefully. I think if big 3 countries want to make ICC free from corruption then it will not take time. When corrupt people get such responsibility it becomes very difficult to get rid of corruption.
