Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[BitSat19]

Either they can extend it to December 2021, or they can cut short the championship. But then extending the championship may add another set of complexities, as the second edition is supposed to start from July 2021.

There is nothing complex here, all they have to do is extend the lost time period and then extend the second edition and these are not situations that occur regularly and these are global situation you need to adjust according to the situation and to have a fair situation the ICC will extend the Test championship rather than cutting short the matches which is not going to be fair for all the teams.

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.

In my view this could be better option for ICC sit with other boards and discuss about this and extend this WTC for extended and use this few series will not included in WTC because right now they have no other option schedule is already very busy for them and still uncertainty around may be they will able to have this all ok.

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?

Eng vs WI : First test 8th July ( Not 1st) Cricinfo pulling prank on you.  

WC : Only 1% chance, almost all hope lost as far as i can tell from the all news source.

IPL : Yes, BCCI not going to miss out the opportunity.

LOL
No, it was not cricinfo but me who got the wrong view. 1st July they have a warm up match :-P
Yeah, from the 8th the series is starting and good to hear that cricket will be back wih this.

Seeing IPL instead of world cup would not be that boring. I hope they make it.

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.

Govt. just left all of us in our own faith, Pak also reached England for their series after West Indies series.

[AB de Royse777]

Govt. just left all of us in our own faith,

Until there is a cure, we all are in danger. It's time for everyone to practice the safety. India is a place which is too crowded and honestly speaking without creating self awareness no one can control it even the government. I really hope your people are trying their best to keep them safe when they are going outside.

Pak also reached England for their series after West Indies series.

So it seems England is the only country who are trying to go back to their normal sporting habits. After football now they are opening their door for Cricket too.

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.

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.

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.
