ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

I believe taking the knee is causing more issues than solving the racism problem, because each time someone refuses the knee it’s taken in the wrong sense. Also ICC could organise some ad campaigns to spread awareness, and stop the knee bending because its dividing the cricket world and neither side is wrong (those taking the knee, and those refusing to take).

A better thing is ICC sit with all boards and having some soft discussion after this they can oblige things in better way because few taking knees and few refusing is not good they must do one decision about this which could be more good for all and as you suggested they can bring few ads for this.

As of now, some other issues also having more attention than knee taking which need some good effort, but sadly we have no maturity from ICC about this all. In event, we have few cases which bring serious confusion but then settled, it's also not good thing for players and management.

In a country where majority of folks obsessed with a fair skin and struggling with ridiculous amount of challenges. Some Brown coolies thought that bending the knee would be a excellent idea so that they can earn some brownie points but when its comes to their own country countless societal fuckups or neighboring countries genocidal acts, they start behaving like ostrich and become some sort of spineless professionals.

I am not sure what you are referring here or implying, anyone looking at this post would say it is a racist comment. I am not with the showcase of propaganda someone thought would be nice to make a difference as these kind of gestures will not make any difference. This started in the US with their Football and Baseball players taking a knee against police brutality against black community and now we have in cricket against racism.

Completely agreed with this. Recently there were attacks against religious minorities within India (Kashmir) and in neighboring countries (Pakistan, Bangladesh). The Indian players refused to issue any statement to condemn these acts. However they went ballistic over some 2-3 years old incident, in which a black suspect died at the hands of a white police officer in the United States. They should first take care of their issues back home before going hyperactive over some incident that happened in a foreign nation.

Meanwhile there is good news for PCB and cricket fans in Pakistan as Windes are touring Pakistan from 13 Dec to 22 Dec 2021. WI to tour Pakistan in December for three T20Is and ODIs. I don't think this tour will have any impact on big 3 and CNZ, they will continue to boycott touring Pakistan on political and security grounds. WI, SL, Bangladesh and Zim in the past have toured Pakistan.

Now here Pakistan peoples don't take these as good news because anything can happen in this period so just keep calm and enjoy current World Cup which is going to end in next few days then we have some exciting bilateral series between Bangladesh vs Pakistan and India vs New Zealand and biggest cricket rivalry is also going to happen in December both teams doing their stuff for this I am favouring Australia because they can win test series English batsmen have no quality just Root can't give them all in every inning.

This is good news for Pakistani fans but still, there is no guarantee that it will happen, looking at the past events. At the moment it is better to enjoy the present world cup. Pakistan team is playing very good in this world cup and they are already in the semifinals. I never thought that they will stick so long in the world cup but good to see they have been consistent this time in their performance.

Why just 3 matches each? There are no test matches scheduled, so they could have gone for 5 ODIs and 5 T20Is. Anyway, this is a very positive decision from the WICB. If they want, then they could easily skip this tour like the big-4 countries. Financially, it doesn't make much sense for WICB to approve the Pakistan tour. They earn a lot more from the IPL foreigner release fee. All that said, the ICC needs to come up with a strong opinion on this. Either they should make it clear that Pakistan is not safe for international teams, or they should ask the foreign teams to honor their commitments.

The first ODI match of West Indies women's vs Pakistan women's team is being played in Karachi today. West Indies gave Pakistan a target of 254 runs. This collection is enough to defeat Pakistan. Pakistan scored 176 runs in 43 overs and lost 6 wickets. Pakistan needs 78 runs from 42 balls. They will not be able to win this match.

The WI women's team won by 45 runs. West Indies opener Deandra Dottin's remarkable 132-run innings helped West Indies collect a huge 253 runs. If any Pakistani batsman could play a big innings, then maybe Pakistan could have won the match. The West Indies team is strong enough. If they want to win against them, Pakistan batsmen will have to play better in the upcoming matches.

Pakistani women are good but still a very long way to go for them because facing some serious domestic issues not giving them any better opportunity for having better in field these ladies facing many unknown problems just few days back a girl injured, and surprisingly no board person was available for his medical treatment in hospital but still doing very good hopefully mind set will change, and these women could have some better respect and facilities from board for having very good game against quality teams.
About today match Anam done good job with 5/35 and then in batting few women play good innings but still need some good experience because two experienced women were not available like Sana Mir and Dar both have good experience in this format.

Amazing innings by Deandra Dottin and West Indies won the match by 45 runs. In women's cricket, totals in excess of 250 are rare. And West Indies managed to achieve this, despite the fact that they were playing in Asia. Anam Amin did well to pickup 5 wickets for Pakistan, but the remaining bowlers were not up to the mark. BTW, any chance that either the PCB or the WICB may come up with a franchise T20 league for women? The PCB can go for WPSL and the WICB can go for WCPL. But I am not sure, since the financial condition is not great for both the teams.

In women's cricket, Pakistan is still far behind. They have lost by 45 runs against West Indies. The West Indies team cannot perform well on a regular basis. The West Indies lost the series 4-1 against South Africa. Now they are playing well enough against Pakistan. The previous series against Pakistan was won by West Indies 3-2. My guess is that West Indies will win this series 3-2 again.

@kro55 I believe in time Pakistan’s women team too will perform well, because no one expected their male counterparts to do so well in the current tournament and yet they performed so well, hence let’s not underestimate this Pakistan’s women team. Also WI women team does have the psychological advantage going in the second ODI, however if they play with over confidence then I feel they’ll be beaten by the Pakistan team.

I am not underestimating the Pakistan team. And I would be happy if they can beat the West Indies in this series. However, Pakistan has not won any series this year. Pakistan lost to South Africa. However, Pakistan's batsmen need to bat more responsibly if they want to beat the West Indies. Let's see how Pakistan performs in the upcoming matches.

There is another big news for Pakistan Cricket that Australia confirmed its tour to Pakistan after 24 years in Mar 2021. Aussie tour to end 24-year Pakistan absence. Australia will play 3 tests, 3 ODIs and 1 T20I. Its Australia first tour since 1998. Lets see whether Australia comes to Pakistan or not.

What is wrong with these guys? So out of a total of 19 playing days, 15 days will be spent on test format, and the most popular format gets just one day. The mentality of the cricket boards is still stuck in the 1980s. What people want now is more T20 and ODI matches and not useless test matches. I would have limited the number of test matches to 1 and increased the number of ODIs and T20Is to 5 each. It doesn't make any sense at all, either from a financial perspective, or from a fan viewpoint.

I was checking the scoreboard of today's cricket matches, an ODI match of Zimbabwe women's team and Bangladesh women's team is being held. Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl. Zimbabwe lost all their wickets for just 48 runs. Bangladesh went down to bat and they scored 7 runs in the first over. The players of the women's team and under-19 team are more talented than the Bangladesh men's team.

I thought I would enjoy the match. But the match was over before I had finished my work. The performance of the Bangladesh women's team must be appreciated. The performance of the bowlers was very good. Salma, Rahima and Nahida each took 3 wickets. Bangladesh lost 2 wickets in 10.4 overs and reached the target.

My dear mate it's just mind game from Australians because we all know about them how they have done these things against their opponents for this semifinal they are feeling some pressure which is surely had some big impact after losing against quality team like England very badly, so they are using their tactics even it's not going to have any special response from PCB or team for this match, but they started this all on good time. Still we have nearly 4 months for this all and after sudden quit from New Zealand it's uncertain until we have all completed it's just a rumour.

Australian already have some bad reputation about their poor judgment's as they have done against South Africa, so currently it's time to just chill and enjoy currently CWC's last 3 matches which are going to start from 10th November.

Fully agree with you. It's just a tactics by Aussies to get sympathy of PCB before the semi final. I too was surprised after reading this news that how can Aus agree to play in Pakistan at a time when both England and NZ have canceled there tours. I don't think they are poor in making judgements rather they are smart in making announcements at crucial times. PCB also looks convinced they Aus won't come in March 2022.
So it's time to focus on remaining 2 games, as NZ has qualify for the final.

There is nothing wrong with this all because you me and many others we all know about this announcement and having side effects as well when Paine saying few players have concerns about playing in Pakistan mean it's just an announcement, and they also know we have to wait for next four months in during this time many things can change so this all can settle.

As now England Cricket Board chairman also announces today they will play 7 T20 matches in Pakistan but right now all these just announcements have nothing in reality currently we have to wait and watch hopefully something better happen for all but most of the peoples are not confident about this all even in Pakistan peoples are not sure about these all announcements because they know about these selfish boards and their attitude.
