ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

It is ridiculous to post such baseless allegations. No one has accused Ashwin of chucking so far in his one and half decades of career, and I am not sure from where the OP got this idea. Ashwin has played in almost all the SENA nations, and I have never heard about anyone there complaining about his bowling action. And nowadays with technological advancement such as superslow video recording, it is almost impossible to get away with chucking. And the ICC has also formulated very strict laws against it.

ICC strict laws? Hahaha, you made my day lady. These laws are for players from small boards. Nobody can dare to check Indian player for chucking. Have you ever heard any major Aus ,Indian or English player reported for chucking - NO. Very recently Pakistani bowler who was performing too good in BBL was reported, clearly they don't like a brown bowler doing good.

This is fair statement their terms and conditions only for few boards because recently after some good influence from India now they are falling down very badly in these things and doing things just for money and own sack with the help of few boards because they are also having their own way. After India Australia is another most cheat country because they have done many shameful things in this game and never feel shame for their bad things even we all know about this.

If they want to improve quality and adoption then surely they need some fair policies for all boards and have measurements as well fair enough after Australians now Indians players attitude is also not acceptable because they are going beyond the limits.

Right now we have first semi-final between Afghanistan vs England in U-19 Cricket World Cup. Currently, situation is completely in England favour because they have done very good job in batting and have 231/6 runs on board in just 47 overs and now Afghanistan just started their chase which is new side and trying for their first final here in this competition, but England is done good enough job for their place with the help of George Thomas 50, George Bell 56 and Alex Horton 53 Afghanistan start is not good as they lost early wicket and now both batsmen playing very slowly which can create problems for them in this big chase.

Second semi-final will be played between two giants Australia vs India tomorrow, I guess it is going to be India- Afghanistan final for this edition of U19 WC.

[Haunebu]

Without any doubt BCCI is the most corrupt organization in sports world, and they have some good influence in ICC just because of this now it's also really crap organization no dignity and no fair policy for all countries they are doing things just for their own pockets, and surely we will have some big negative points as well in near future. Few peoples still believe ICC can't survive without BCCI which is completely wrong because they can survive and have some good and fair system, but sadly greediness is having his own impact and few boards officials using this all for their own sack which is big point for strong influence of BCCI on ICC and their crap policies.

BCCI is responsible for a big portion of entertainment in the world of Cricket(Examples: IPL(Biggest Cricket league) etc) even though they are a corrupt organization. Every major organization in this world is corrupt to an extent to be honest.

Just like anything wrong India does never gets proved. And I think a lot of people or should I say a majority of people are going to agree that we don't want false entertainment which is presented saying it's true.

Anything wrong India does never gets proved? Wrong!

So after 24 years, England reached the Finals of the U-19 Worldcup. They will now either play with Australia or India in the finals. The rain delay did not help the Afghanistan team but the match was very close. If India wins today's match then this will be the fourth time that they will reach the finals of the U-19 Worldcup.

I felt that Afghanistan played well but just not good enough to beat England in the end, and I also believe that England have a good chance to win this cup. Lastly India is also one of the favourites but they’re up against an determined Australian side, so whichever team progresses ahead we should expect a very entertaining game for the finals.

A really exciting game was played by both teams. In a thrilling finish, England triumphed to reach its first under-19 World Cup final in 24 years. It must be an incredible feeling for England to have come back from such adversity. Afghanistan was informing their seniors of their fate. It seems that they carry the match to the end as they always do because I have no idea what is wrong with them. I really admire Afghanistan cricket's development in the world game.

Today's match will be a close one too. India are the favourite but Australia has shown that they are here to win. The team batting first will look for a score which is more than 250. The team winning the toss in my opinion should bat first.

Maybe India have done 50-50 decisions which always seem to go in India's favor. I mean it is obviously not wrong, probably, But it does seem a little such. And I don't mean that it is only because a player is Indian he suddenly becomes untouchable, obviously everyone needs to be restricted and is restricted by certain rules, but when it comes to 50-50 decisions I feel like ok India is always favored in a lot of cases.

I think in the match against England the four Ducks in the batting order really took their toll on the Afghanistan batting lineup.

Especially the ducks from the top order. But other than that I think Afghanistan played well and they certainly played well to reach the semi-finals of this under-19 world cup. We can only imagine if the country didn't have these types of political problems then the cricket of this country would have been more prosperous.

Whenever there is an emerging bowler from small boards we see its action immediately reported by ICC. We saw examples where key bowlers like Saeed Ajmal were banned. Intact icc rules for bowling are designed in accordance with desires of big 3 that's why non of there bowler get banned.

There were a chance available for Afghanistan for qualifying into final, but their very poor strategy give them this lost and chance for having spot into final for first time. They have few very exciting players but those all going just like we have West Indians in past all want to hit ball out of ground and no one looking for better result for team.

In start of inning both openers waste some good number of balls which hurt them in past matches as well but still batting coach fail to give them any useful tips for having some better for this all but still it's very good now they are in last four and can do some better in future with some better strategy and after improving these skills for having better results into this game.

[JSRAW]

I wanted to see Afghanistan winning the u19 wc title but its fine because in the end best team should win the game and England u-19 came out victorious.

Atm our Indian boys playing exceptional cricket and looks fav but i won't dare to count Oz boys out from the contest because playing tough is in their blood and they always put up great fight in ICC tourny,.


Ind vs WI
Meanwhile 5-7 Indian players and staff have tested positive for covid, just before windies series.

Afghanistan is good talented team and in near future they could more good with having some experience if their country able to have some stability than we will watch many good and exciting players from this region. They play very good in Quarter-Final and in Semi-Final but sadly due to some bad short selection lost their match against England.

Atm our Indian boys playing exceptional cricket and looks fav but i won't dare to count Oz boys out from the contest because playing tough is in their blood and they always put up great fight in ICC tourny,.

Right, now we have second Semi-Final which is currently completely dominated by India they have done very good and healthy target of 290 after this now their bowlers are also having very good time with after 35 overs 149/7 mean now they need 140 in just 15 overs with 10 runs per over and tail ender on crease look like its mission impossible for Aussies, and we are going to have grand final between India vs England and another victory for India which is already enjoying healthy 4 cups wins in this mega event.

Final news: India under 19 beat Australia under 19 by 96 runs and now they are going to face England in the finals of the under 19 world cup. India played really well in this match. In the finals, I actually think that India might actually have a better chance of winning against England.

I also wanted Afghanistan to be in the finals at least, to be honest, because in that way maybe their cricket would have got a little more reliability.

Anyway, I think that India versus England final is going to be really interesting as both teams are looking really good and are able to win the under 19 world cup.

I think it would be a bad idea to continue with this series because as I am hearing in the news that the new variant of coronavirus is far more contagious than before.
So, it would be a good idea to maybe cancel the series. I also don't think that it would be a good idea to only quarantine those people who are tested positive because that might not be enough.

In total 7 members of the Indian contingent have tested positive. The player's name are Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Navdeep Saini and there are three official. Mayank Agarwal has been added to the squad which means BCCI will not postpone or cancel this tournament. Thanks God all members of the WI squad have been tested negative.

Many people wished Afganistan to be in the finals, but remember Afganistan is a new team and we can't expect the big teams like India or england to be eliminiated in order to make room for the Afganistan.  Afganistan reached the semi finals of the under 19 world cup and this is a big achievement for them.

Two best teams india and england reached the finals and right now i cannot guess who will be the winner. The team who played better on the final day will be the winner of this year's U19 world cup.

I agreed, If BCCI still wants to continue this tournament I think it is going to be a bad decision for them. They also have a lot of important players tested positive. So, obviously, it is going to affect their play. But the good news is that the West Indies squad has been tested negative. Still can't see any sign of BCCI canceling this tournament, maybe they will take this issue seriously, and will ensure the safety of all.

This is truly a big risk, and these days people are getting adopted to the pandemic. Maybe the players were asymptomatic which is the reason why BCCI isn't taking it with serious concern.

Myself had an experience with my friend. Everyone need to have COVID tested negative results for abroad travel. He tested it within the 24 hrs of journey. It tested negative, and reached the airport. Here once again got tested and reported positive. He hasn't got any symptoms and not allowed to travel. Maybe Indian players might also be asymptomatic.

The same happened in Sri Lanka as well, right? The BCCI refused to cancel the series and went ahead with the matches. And India lost them by big margins. BTW, I am not sure whether cancelling these matches is the right decision. If they do that then the TV rights holders will lose big amounts and the BCCI needs to reimburse them. And another big concern would be related to the 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. Time is running out and each team needs to play a total of 24 matches during this time period.
