Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

PS: How is everything out there in India? I read in the news that the corona is spreading at an alerming rate in there? I hope you and other who are from India in here are safe and healthy.

Indians wanted to win the corona race and believe me we are winning it but we changed the goal post. India already standing strong at 4th position Now we just wants to beat Brazil (2nd) and Russia (3rd), India might replace Russia soon.

Other than that everything is calm, some friendly activities on borders #Indiachina. Nothing too serious except dozens of casualties. Situation is very much in control as both armies building up arsenal on their side of borders, in case someone feels itchy fingers.

In short yeah all good n safe.

Extending the Championship seems the right option but its not an easy task due to FTP (Future tour programs) Which includes every bilateral series, ICC tournaments and so on (Already fixed). It could happen if all cricket board sits together with the ICC and start brainstorming, if not then we are going to see many series similar to NZ vs Eng (last year). Because of ftp complication this series was not part of the WTC.

Well.. I would agree. The only solution is for everyone to sit around and reach a consensus on rescheduling the matches. But then, how can they reschedule the tours, when it is not known for how long this pandemic is going to continue? All the 5 test playing nations in the South Asia region are severely affected, with the outbreak yet to peak. At this point, they can't guarantee any fixed dates.

Yes bro is taking a lot of precautions for their safety But everyone is in a lot of danger until it heals The 48th Copa America will be held in Brazil in June next year even though Brazil is in second place from India. So the teams are slowly preparing for this big event Brazil is not sitting still they are going to play a Test series with America instead of India. First of all, confidence. If a footballer has confidence that he will be able to give his best on the field If he sees the supporters have confidence in him. The manager has confidence the teammates have confidence then he will perform well Chichi can instill that confidence in the players.

So you guys are aiming to be the world number one :-P I wish you do not win it :-D
Anyway, about the #Indiachina borders issue - I heard they killed 20 of your soldiers or it was just a made up thing by the Indian government? No office by the way it really did not look like that there were some killing at least from some footage it was looking like that they were going physical against each others without using any weapon.

Good to hear that all good.

Copa America is still almost 12 months away. But the T20 World Cup is scheduled in a few months time, and that's why I am worried. There is an increase in the number of cases in Australia and they will be hosting this edition of the world cup. On top of that, cricket activity will resume in just a few days, when England will play their test against West Indies. And even today UK had 800 plus cases and 25 deaths.

They could still conduct the T20 World Cup if they can take the necessary precautions and test each and every player and then conduct the tournament without any audience, earlier there were talks about the minister allowing audience for sports but if the situation is getting bad and the second and third wave of the virus is showing up they can still conduct the tournament without audience with proper precaution.

The Twenty20 Cricket World Cup is scheduled to be held on Australian soil from October 16 to November 15 this year. But due to the severity of the coronavirus Shoaib Akhtar does not see the possibility of all other games including the World Cup in 2020. He said the United Kingdom and England would play their Tests against the West Indies but the Australia match meant extra tension Australia will do well in the next tour of India to accompany their success in Test cricket.

A lot of it depends on ACB whether they want to or not. Although the situation in Austrhalia is far much better than other countries I guess they do not want to take any risk. I am sure they will be considering all available option and with in the due cource of time we will know .

The situation in Australia is just the opposite of what we have in countries such as India and Pakistan. The BCCI and the PCB want to conduct tournaments, but the respective governments are not very enthusiastic about that idea. However, in Australia the government has hinted that they want the T20 World Cup to go ahead as planned earlier. But the CA has taken a more hostile stance (for unknown reasons).

Once England and West Indies series take place successfully many doubt and fears will be vanished and there might be a great chance that rest of the tournaments including the T20 World cup will commence on time and as per the schedule. A lot would depend on how the series between England and West Indies progresses.

It is not a good thing to give emphasis on a single tournament and then decide whether to continue with cricket, if the tournament is not having the testing standards then we might see players getting infected, Soccer started and till now it is going smooth while the players who participated in  the Adria tour conducted by Djokovic suffered from the virus spread because the standard was not there and hence you cannot emphasis on a single tournament.

[Clement Kaliyar]

Soccer started and till now it is going smooth while the players who participated in  the Adria tour conducted by Djokovic suffered from the virus spread because the standard was not there and hence you cannot emphasis on a single tournament.

Djokovic situation was really unfortunate, i did not hear about the tournament but i saw the social media outcry blaming him and there is an outcry to remove him from organizing association something like that and everyone is playing the blame game including some players for the outburst who participated in the tournament, every sporting event is delaying in resuming the events is because of these situation, if something goes wrong then everyone will jump to put the blame.

As I also check news about this most of peoples blaming him for this all as they feel he was not going as they need to be for this all so just because of this now we have few high profile players and other staff all positive for Corona so its really matter of shame but now time for turn around this all and bring some positive things about this all as we need to go ahead if we will positive about this all situation.

If the series between England and therefore the West Indies goes ahead the cricketers will attend Southampton when the quarantine shift is once again the primary test will start there on July 6. In other words the primary live cricket within the post-Corona world will start thereon day The subsequent two Tests are in Manchester on 16 July and 24 July but there's no guarantee that they're going to play against England.

I disagree.

I don't think that a successful tournament in England would mean anything in South Asia or Oceania. The situation in England is under control, while that in South Asia is not so. I hope that the series between England and West Indies would go ahead as planned, without any issues. But even if it is a grand success, I don't think that there will be any international matches being staged in any of the South Asian nations for the next 4 months minimum.

Yeah, the ICC chairman selection process was delayed and he was supposed to continue in the post till next August. However, the BCCI has put a lot of pressure on him to delay the decision on the T20 World Cup recently. The election process for the post of ICC chairman is also going backward. That is why Shashank Manohar has resigned before the next chairman election. However, ICC Deputy Chairman Imran Khawaja will act as interim chairman before the next chairman is elected.

From what i understood Shashank Manohar did not play to the tune of BCCI as he changed the dominance of power when he reshuffled the revenue model and now how can you say that he was dancing to the tune of BCCI, so what do you think will be the outcome, they will carry on with the T20 World Cup since the interim chairman is from Singapore what do you think will happen.

Guys any cricket around?
Cricinfo is showing West Indies tour of England 2020 is starting on July 1st. Is this happening or is going to postpone?

I believe there will be no T20 WC. I heard this that IPL wanted to host in the T20 WC schedule or something. What about it?

Good to see that you posted in the cricket thread too after a very long time. You left this thread as there was no cricket around but we kept on discussing about the game even when there was no live game. Since you are back here, the live cricket is also in action in the form of England warm up match between STOKES V BUTTLER.

The second point went relatively unnoticed by everyone. This can be earth-shattering for the world of cricket. Depending on who is going to replace Manohar, a lot of the things are going to change. The next ICC chairman will play a very large role in the future of cricket and he may make some very important decisions which can have long-lasting impact.

As of now, Colin Graves is the most likely replacement, but there are a few other names that are doing the rounds. One of the leading contenders (Ehsan Mani) pulled out of the race a few days back. The only other confirmed name as of now is Dave Cameron of WICB. There are rumors that Sourav Ganguly and Kumar Sangakkara may also join the race.
