I just find out that i missed the lasted match at Retrolive which was live on May 5. Although i do not miss any of these match, but somehow couldn't check the cricinfo. No one here also did not mentioned about this match too.

Do you guys do not watch these matches in lockdown ?

The voting is over and Virat Kohli won by a huge margin, he does have a lot of fans in India and there is no way others could match him.

But for me the funniest of them all was when Kesrick Williams dismissed Chadwick Walton he took out his usual notebook walk off and in the next match Chadwick Walton was in revenge mode and whenever he scores a boundary he takes his bat and sign off mocking Kesrick Williams and it was my favorite battle in recent memories.

What other stuff could adult do in the lockdown situation ?

Even after doing all the work, there is still ample time left for us and seeing a cricket match is the best way to spend the time.

#killboredom #lockdown

My favorite celebration is not listed here. During the 2007 World Cup, the Irish players (especially the bowlers Trent Johnston and Dave Langford-Smith) had a strange way of celebrating. It was called "the chicken dance". I still remember Johnston's celebration, when he took the wicket of Virender Sehwag during the WC match that was played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

My favourite among this is the Shikhar Dhawan Thigh slap as this is so macho for me and he has the nag of playing with his moustache as well which for me looks so amazing. Also, for the thigh slap it indirectly also promotes the another sport which is Kabaddi and it has lost its some relevance now in the country and this is reminds people back and again of the another sport too.

The difference is way to high. He , Virat Kohli  got 465.5K votes while the runner up Shahid Afridi got only 9.4K votes. I think people have voted on the basis of the nationality of the cricketers and not on the basis of celebration style.

Yes and on sports sites and channels all Indian community is very big so its very difficult for others to win any thing even they deserve about this win most of votes cast base on nationalty base.

Is that surprising? For all types of sports and games, the fans of a particular player would be from his own country. There can be rare exceptions, such as Ronaldo/Messi in football and Bryant/LeBron with basketball. Virat Kohli is a big name in international cricket. Even in countries such as Australia, he will be having huge number of fans. But then, Steve Smith will be more popular there.

Patriotism will play a major role in sports as well. So yes obviously Steve Smith will win the poll but it will just be a close call since Indians are living in each corner of the world.

These kind of polls and voting are useless as the voting depends on the community. Indians are already everywhere in the world and what unites them is cricket and it is obvious that a cricketer from India will win such king of voting.

[JohnBitCo]

Retrolive is showing another old live match between Australia and India. This match was originally played on 21 October 1996 in M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Anyone remember this match ?

When the polls get skewed, it is not a good thing. But we don't need to concentrate on the negative aspect. There can be no denying to the fact that cricket has become popular in some of the non-traditional countries due to immigration from South Asia (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh). The negative here is that they have failed to attract locals to get interested in the sport. But who knows? The situation may change in the near future.

No one responded to this means that people are not interested in Retrolive matches. Also this is the first weekend where retrolive does not repeat telecast any match, does this means that people are no longer interested in old matches and they want to view the new live matches only ?

At first people reacted out of respect to their old memories and due to lockdown implication -boredom- but after sometime everyone accepted that Retrolive_matches are boring, so no more telecast or viewership/clicks.

@JSRAW you’re absolutely correct because initially people were struggling to get used to their lockdown routine hence watching the old matches was kind of peaceful for them, but over a period of time they all finally settled in to their new routine and hence they stopped watching those matches as they diverted their time in other activities. Lastly as usual it came down to money, and once the broadcasters realised that they’re not making any money from showing the old matches, they decided to pull the plug and and I feel that their action is completely justified under the circumstances.

Absolutely correct it is too frustrating now to watch those retro matches. I want to see some actual cricket now but, with all those negative news about postponing future tournaments my frustrations is growing even more.

I understand that retrolive is boring when compare with live matches, but do we have live matches resumed ?
Since there are no live matches, we have no option but to watch these matches. I know that some people will not watch matches and focus on other activities but people like me who are addicted to cricket, prefer to watch any cricket game and feel bored in times of no matches.

The last time I watched any of the sports channels was more than a month back. Here some of the local cricket clubs are talking about resuming club matches next week. A lot will depend whether the lockdown is lifted or not. As of now, the lockdown in India is supposed to end tomorrow. I just hope that it is not extended any further.
