T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[SATWAT]

This cannot be implemented in cricket as there are already very few teams and this division does not make any sense. However, steps can be taken to make more countries play cricket and produce world class teams.

When Jagmohan Dalmiya was the ICC president, he took a number of steps to help associate nations. His efforts were very successful, as teams such as Kenya, Ireland and Afghanistan made a lot of progress and came close to becoming full member nations. But then he was ousted and the combination of Sharad Pawar/N Srinivasan took charge (as the ICC and BCCI presidents respectively). Their term pushed cricket back by at least two decades. All the progress that was achieved during the Dalmiya era was destroyed. Not just the associate nations, but even some of the test playing nations such as Zimbabwe sank without any trace.

And it was during this period that a new law was introduced, which enabled teams such as UAE and Oman to field teams entirely (100%) comprised of foreigners. As a result teams that had native players (such as Kenya, Netherlands, PNG, Namibia.etc) became unable to compete and in turn lost their ICC funding. Some of the teams such as the Netherlands managed to survive, as they had other avenues for funds. But teams such as Kenya got destroyed completely. As long as this law is not repealed, I don't think that cricket can be spread outside the big-3.

Now the ICC claims that cricket is being played in 100 plus nations. But in most of these nations, you can't find a single native player in the playing XI. Most of the teams are entirely made of Indians and Pakistanis.

Dalmiya was really cricket passionate person he was fully dedicated and give some very good things even he was also business tycoon but after him as we have SharadPawar/N Srinivasan these boths was not able to handle things like him one politician and other corrupt business man both badly destroy cricket very badly and now we are facing some serious troubles just because of these issues which created by these two and now others also going on this way which are not suitable to cricket' popularity.

Despite all the damage caused, these people are still present in powerful positions. Srinivasan owns the Chennai Superkings franchise, and his relatives are owning Hyderabad Sunrisers. And not surprisingly, both the franchises were accused of match fixing earlier. Srinivasan's daughter (Rupa Gurunath) is the president of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA), while Maharashtra Cricket Association is under the control of Sharad Pawar. How can the situation in India improve, when such people are in powerful positions?

I can understand this all but problem is peoples in power call this is democracy and its really hurting very badly you know all these things but still unable to take any action against them mean you and your system both are really helpless and corruption is ruling around us peoples don't like this but Hitler's view about Democracy was absolutely right.

Mohammad Amir retires from international cricket claiming 'mental torture' by PCB
"I don't think I can bear such torture. Enough is enough," : Aamir

Hate him or love him but he was natural talent.

"I am leaving cricket for now because I'm being mentally tortured. I don't think I can bear such torture. I've borne lots of torture from 2010 to 2015, for which I served my time. I've been tortured by being told the PCB invested a lot in me. I'll just say two people invested in me a lot: [former PCB chairman] Najam Sethi and [former Pakistan captain] Shahid Afridi.

"They were the only two. The rest of the team was saying, 'we don't want to play with Amir'. Recently, the atmosphere that's been created means I get taunted all the time by being told I don't want to play for my country. Who doesn't want to play for their country? Every two months, someone says something against me. Sometimes the bowling coach [Waqar Younis] says Amir ditched us, sometimes I'm told my workload is unsatisfactory. Enough is enough."

[Vishnu.Reang]

^^^^ The real reason is the inability of the PCB to pay decent salary to members of the national team. And when the players try to earn by participating in various franchise T20 leagues, the PCB creates obstacles for them. This in turn makes the player frustrated and ultimately it results in public spats between the players and the management. Anyway, with the success of the PSL, I hope that now the PCB will be able to pay good salary to the contracted players.

The ongoing circus at PCB board needs to stop. Literally PCB destroying another career of players at incredible speed, such a great left handed bowlers he is. It's unfortunate he decided to retire from International Cricket, PCB must address his concern immediately.

This is just one side of the picture. When you are famous , you have talent then you tend to behave irresponsible which cannot be tolerated by good cricket boards. I don't wana go deep into this and reveal the facts which media is hiding.

The tweet from Rameez Raja says it all,

[Iranus]

I bet on Galle Gladiators today.

Sorry for your loss today as Galle Gladiators has lost the final match today. Jaffna Stallions out class them and they could not handle the pressure of chase in the big final. Just like most matches were one sided in LPL, the final turns out to be the same.

Although I lost the bet, I enjoyed the match. Jaffna Stallions played very well. Particularly Shoib Malik and Perera's innings were just greats. Jaffna Stallions won the title mainly because of these two batsmen.

PCB is one of most shit boards in world as they done too many shit things to destroy many talented players just for their own sack personal likes and delikes biggest issue and worst thing we have no merit system for youths mostly youthes selected just for bribes and personal links very few achieved highest ranks just with their talent and Muhammad Aamir was also one of these guys but sadly he done few mistakes and these cost him very badly.

Politics inside sports is really a great danger for the future of their country's sports in the international stage and this is exactly what is happening with PCB for a very long time. Pakistan country got lot of talent which can make them to be the best team in cricket world but over the past decade the quality of players produced were very low and made them to be on the lower side team. Don't think anything is going to be changed from this retirement at least if there are talents they could try to join into the cricket boards of other countries.

As far as I know, PCB is the fourth richest cricket board in the world. Yet it is strange why they do not pay cricketers properly. There is a lot of internal strife inside their board. The relationship between the players and the border officials is not good. But it is important for the players to have a good relationship with the team management. If the problem between their team is not solved, the Pakistan team will be lost like Zimbabwe team.

I don't think that your post is accurate. You can check the sponsorship deals and the TV rights auctions. What PCB receives every year from these proceedings is much lower than what the ECB or CA get annually from similar deals. The inability to stage home matches in Pakistan has drained the coffers for almost one and half decade. Only very recently, the foreign teams are agreeing to play in Pakistan. All this had a negative impact on the financials.

Muhammad Amir was nothing if he was not in the Pakistan National team. Muhammad Amir is a hero only because of Pakistan. If the board cannot pay the same as league, this does not mean that you quit the national team.
I know there are many players who prefer to play for the national team if the teams need them and step away from leagues, even though leagues pay more.

A player should give priority on patriotism rather than money. Let him go, we don't need players like him to be in our national team.

Cricket is like any other profession and earnings matter a lot. Also, a cricket player has a peak time of only around 5-6 years. He needs to earn as much as possible during this period. Why can't the PCB treat the players the same way as the WICB? The West Indies management never forces any of their players to report to national duty. But in turn, this has benefitted the players. And at the same time, some of the younger players have got the opportunity to represent the national side, as the regulars are not available.

Is anybody watching the T20 between Pakistan vs Newzealand? I just checked the score, pakistani batsmen are struggling at the moment. Score is 99/6 in 15 overs. They still have 5 more overs left. They need score a more tha 150 runs if they want to give a decent fight to Newzealand otherwise this will be a completely one sided match.

They recovered really well, to end up at 153/9. At one point they were 39/5, and then 79/6. But the lower order contributed a lot of runs and they ended up with a decent score (Shadab Khan and Faheem Ashraf made decent scores). Jacob Duffy picked up four wickets during his debut match. Duffy looks like a good young future prospect for New Zealand. But finding a spot in the test squad may not be easy for him.

[7788bitcoin]

Pakistan recovered really well and i did not expect them to put a score of 153 on the board and looking at the way the match was going i placed a bet on New Zealand and now they are struggling to put runs on the board as the required run rates keeps on rising and they already lost two wickets and now regrets on placing a bet on New Zealand win as Pakistan can win and the odds were over 5 for Pakistan when i placed the bet  .

I agree with @Swordsoffreedom here because right now PCB is not facing any financial problem they have some serious management issues and these can solevd only when we have no political influence without this its not going to be good for them many peoples in management are have no expereince of any thing but taking good salaries and doing bad things which is not suitable for sport and players but sadly no one to check them even we have Prime Minister a cricketer.

I think instability was one of the reason why Pakistani Cricket has failed to deliver in recent times. There's no lack of interest in the country as cricket is the most popular sports. The attack on Sri Lankan cricket team was on of the largest setback for cricket in pakistan and as there are increasing number of domestic cricket, international games being placed on Pakistan are still rare. There were some sign of progress with the new leadership and I hope as a cricketer himself, the prime minister of Pakistan would be able to bring back Pakistan to it's previous glory within his term.
