Cricket match prediction discussions

[Sithara007]

I don't really understand the politics behind cricket, and the biggest question for me now is how the ICC's revenue model is actually structured?
How can one country get 38.5% while another country gets only 6%? What is the logic behind all this?

And at the same time, I would also like to know that if you tell the percentage of revenue share of two countries here, what percentage do the other countries actually get, and where can I find the source link to see these?

I was changed when Narayanaswami Srinivasan became the chairman of the ICC. Before his term, the associate share was a lot higher and the full members used to receive almost equal amount. Srinivasan came up with the Pig-3 model, in which the BCCI, ECB and CA would receive around 60% of the share together, leaving the rest for the other full member nations and virtually nothing for the associates. When Jay Shah became the chairman, he dumped the Pig-3 model and came up with the Pig-1 model. In this the BCCI would receive close to 38.5% of the funds and the remainder being distributed to the 100+ members.

Shadley van Schalkwyk was going with really clever things in today match. He was putting off-cutters as well as leg-cutters that traps the batsmen and often results in edges and also smart field set by him, field set according to the bowl. In the last game against India, he was also using the same tricks and just like today's game he got four wickets against Pakistan. It was the same against India he got four wickets too.

However, in the end of the game, the USA team got back to back wickets but we cannot appraise them on this because at that time batsmen were trying to have as much runs as they could, so not a big deal.

Shadley van Schalkwyk has mostly helped by his spinning balls and clever brain games to trick best batsmen putting biggest danger to 2026 T20 World Cup. Like his great work of 7th of February over India, he got four more of Pakistani wickets last night through catching with smart plans and forcing mistakes other than by pure speed. They did get very few wickets in last moments of game, but, as you are right, they were of rushed kind of Pakistanis to get needed number of runs in late game way other than pure bowling skill. Van Schalkwyk is 37 years old and he is chess player whom he plays with his slower balls and tricky places on field, he uses his gift to outsmart his player with slow balls and tricky field spots. Through such plan, he has been able to get big wickets like Babar Azam and Shivam Dube and this goes to show that mental strength can at times be good as fast bowling in high pressure game.

Has the current ICC chairman Jay Shah changed much here? Because earlier, if all three boards had got 60% in the Pig-3 model, then BCCI would have got maybe 20%, whereas now only BCCI is getting 38.5%, so it has become more one-sided than before.
Here, I can only see that BCCI is benefiting the most and other cricket boards are not getting their fair share. But as far as I know, the Indian population is very large and therefore, there are many more viewers available from here. Is this why this revenue model has been arranged in this way?

In the match between England and West Indies, we might witness the first upset of the World Cup today. Joseph to deliver the second last over where England batting on 160 for 8 and this stage Joseph just looking to have as much dot balls as possible, that is why he tried yorker on the first ball and just searching for twice of more wickets to finish the batting line up for England.

The crowd is silent, pressure is on both ends and in the second ball Sam Curran was confused he was thinking that Joseph might bowl on the leg side but Joseph did slow bowl, just gave full toss offside and on the third ball it was miss hit but still the batsmen ran hard still, they lost a wicket, it was run out and England team in more trouble now.

Pakistan is living up to the expectations of its fans in the World Cup.They have played two matches so far and have won both.Their performance against the Netherlands was not special but Pakistan performed well against the United States of America and won by 32 runs.All the batsmen of Pakistan established long partnerships among themselves and put the United States of America in trouble. These are very important matches.Every team should try to give their 100 percent effort but the United States of America did not work hard enough.Their last batsmen wasted a lot of balls to win and did not score any special runs.The bowling of the United States of America was also bad.They were taking wickets but they could not stop them from scoring more runs.The United States of America is proving to be a weak team.

USA cricket team is very strong because they have players from different countries and they are playing their cricket and they did not play matches against the top teams of the World and now big teams know nothing about them. USA gave more runs in the first overs and they could not  take wickets at the Start of the inning. Shubham Ranjane made half century for his team and he hit 3 sixes and 3 fours in this match. Usman Tariq is top class player of the Pakistan who played brilliant in the last match and he is big weapon of Pakistan to play against India. He took 3 important wickets and team won due to his effort because he attacked on opponent team. van Schalkwyk performance is good because he is top in the tournament and he is the only person who took 8 wickets in 2 matches.

Yep, In the Men's T20  World Cup West Indies defeated England by 30 runs. West Indies opens inning first with Brandon King and Shai Hope and both the openers don't gives a positive start to the team and King scores just 1 run and also Hope losses his wicket early on duck and in middle order Rutherford played a memorable inning of 76 runs and also Jason Holder played a aggressive innings of 33 runs and at the end of the innings West Indies set a very strong target of 197 runs. England opens inning Jos Butler and Phil Salt and both the openers give a very positive start to the team and Salt played a well innings of 30 runs and also Butler scores 21 run and in middle Jacob Bethel played a well knock of 33 runs and also Also Sam Curran played a well knock of 43 runs but at last England don't chase the target successfully and scores only 166 runs and West Indies won the game

It was a very surprising result in which both thinking and hard work were different, due to which West Indies easily kept themselves strong in this match and did make England try and defeat them. South African batsmen were also careless but they managed to make a strong target of 196 and made this victory even stronger with their hard bowling. West Indies are playing so strong in the World Cup that they did not let England batsmen score many runs and Victory by a good margin. Motie also played very well and took 3 wickets which made the England team weaker and failed to victory in 19 overs. Weak teams like West Indies are also working hard and playing well, due to which there is a lot of interest and other there is not much change in the strength of the teams.

At the start of this match, the two players who came first were from the West Indies team and were dismissed for 1 and zero runs and England tried their best to keep them under pressure so that they could win this match but could not produce any production on them and the West Indies team set a target of 196 runs in this match and this was enough to encourage them that they would win the match which proved to be absolutely right because when the England team started chasing this target, all the players who were hoping that they would win this match got out at 166 runs but that did not happen and the performance of all the players looked like a good team but the target ahead was also quite strong due to which they were under some bowling and some target pressure due to which they could not survive in this match and all the players got out in 19 overs.

In ICC Men's T20 World Cup series, Australia vs Ireland game was also played today and this was 14 th game. This game was easy and one sided and Ireland team is not much strong to beat Australia team. Australia batsmen gave 182 big target in 20 overs by losing 6 wickets. Josh effort was brilliant in opening of lineup and he made 37 runs in 17 balls only and he hitted six 4s and one 6s. Other two batsmen Matt and Marcus also helped a lot team to win this game, Matt scored 37 runs and Marcus scored 45 runs in 29 balls. Ireland batsman only chased 115 runs and lost game by big margin 67 runs. Adam and Nathan performed outstanding in bowling and Nathan bolwed out 4 wickets and Adam took down 4 wickets in 4 overs.

What changed recently is that the BCCI share went up, and that for most of the other members went down (both full members and associates). During the 2015-23 cycle, the final allocation to the BCCI was $445 million (out of a total $2.5 billion, which amounts to 17.8%). But the important part is that most of the other full members received a similar amount (around $130-140 million). The final allocation model replaced the one created by Srinivasan, which allotted $570 million to the BCCI and $0 to the associates. The way that the distribution was calculated is not transparent. The ICC hasn't revealed it to the public.

Perfect start of World Cup run was 67 rusn win Australia had over without their captain Mitchell Marsh. Australia made big score of 182/6 in this 14th match especially due to attacking 37 runs off 17 balls shown by Josh Inglis and steady pair of Matt Renshaw with 37 runs and Marcus Stoinis 45 runs. Ireland found it difficult all through chase and were all out at tiny 115 runs unable to deal with double four bowling of Nathan Ellis with 4/12 and Adam Zampa with 4/ 23. This win was even more great in way that Australia used weaker team, and this showed that new players such as Ellis are ready to take over attack. Having this result, Australia is easily on top of Group B with huge net run speed of +3.350. I believe that with this kind of order, Australia will surely get to Super 8s making sure that Ireland will have to do much to stay alive their next games.

So what I thought were rumors that people were saying that the ICC is now run by the BCCI, is that really true or only partially true?
I'm actually afraid that if this continues, the ICC will lose its popularity very soon and as well their brand value. Even though the ICC's popularity is very low compared to other sports like football, only Asian and a handful of European countries participate here. I actually doubt that if this continues, no one will trust the ICC.

In the other match, it was two super over game that firstly South Africa scored a good and huge target of 187, then Afghanistan chased it somehow and later on when the super over started, both the teams again scored the same score, that time the pressure were on both sides because in group stages every single game carries its own importance and then the second super overs starts where Afghanistan just missed it by 4 runs, they might take the match but hard luck. Well, good game, I think in this edition of the T20 World Cup, they are out and their journey was full of disappointment.

Australia International cricket team performance is good in this tournament because they played only one match in this tournament and they won easily but now they will play against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe which are not big teams and there are changes Australia will be on the top of the table because they are capable to win against big teams of the World and Australia team track record is excellent against good teams and they have young players who are in excellent form. Nathan Ellis was awarded as player of the match because he took 4 wickets in this match and he gave good start to his team and applied pressure on opponent team.  Marcus Stoinis played with excellent strike rate in this match And he made good partnership in this match.

When Shashank Manohar became the ICC chairman, he took steps to reduce the dominance of BCCI. He increased the number of voting members, thereby diluting the influence of BCCI. Even if you include Jay Shah, BCCI has only two direct votes out of 17. For majority they need another 7 votes. So the issue is not just BCCI's monopoly, but the support given by other boards such as the ECB and SLCB. That said, I would still claim that Jay Shah has done a lot more for the expansion of cricket, when compared to his predecessors such as Greg Barclay and Narayanaswami Srinivasan. Still I would rate him below Shashank Manohar.

In recent time most of the sports organizations have too many complaints and corruption allegations but here in ICC things are always never on good level which helps this game for having good development despite good potential, but recent Indian influence bring too much chaos.

They are having the biggest market with good share in revenue still they need to be doing something for the development of game, but they always use their influence for their own sack which is hurting badly and few boards always go with them due to IPL money, this creating more misery in this game and organization, few recent conflicts brings good intention still it's going to be problematic till all will be set and have some good and fair system with all teams must play against each other in every two years cycle which is currently not possible due to politics.

Nepal vs Italy game. Did you watch this game? Both teams have lost their past games but in this game, Nepal team failed to beat opponent one more time and now Nepal team lost both games. Italy won toss and they decided to select fielding first and gave batting line to Nepal team. Nepal batsmen was not very strong and their target was too small only 123 runs in 20 overs by losing all wickets. Crishan bowler of Italy team bowled out 3 wickets in 4 overs and gave 18 runs. This was very easy game and Italy batsmen chased down target easily and won game by big big margin 10 wickets and 7 overs. Justin and Anothony both opener batsmen enough to chase all runs and Justin scored 60 runs in 44 balls and hitted five 4s and three 6s. Anthony also helped team to win game and played so well with Justin and made  62 runs in 32 balls and hitted three 4s and six 6s.

Congratulations Italy players to win 1 st game of this World Cup.

At least when compared to the other sports bodies, there is a lot more corruption and nepotism within the ICC. And some of the individual boards seems to be even more corrupt. A perfect example is that of Zimbabwe. Every year they get around $17 to $18 million from the ICC as grants. And no one knows where this money is going. Less than 10% is being paid to the players, or being used for infrastructure construction. But no one can do anything against it. And this is one of the issues with having power concentrated on a few hands. In FIFA, there are more than 200 voting members, while the same for ICC is only 17.
