ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Sithara007]

Once upon a time all three formats of cricket were very popular but a lot of things can be lost with the passage of time. Only that will be survived which are loved by current or future generations. In T20 format a game can be completed with in very short of time. Which is not possible in other formats. There are also some peculiarities. Time has a big contribution to make the game of football so popular today. Here the game ends in 90 minutes. Test cricket or ODI requires a whole day or more. Considering the overall aspect, everyone's eyes are on the T20 format of cricket.

I don't know whether we can make such conclusions. T20 never peacefully co-existed with other formats. Even the fanbase for T20 is different from other formats. A large part of the T20 fans were previously not interested in cricket. And the new generation is more used to T20 cricket and they have hardly any interest in the longer formats. It is mostly the middle-aged and the elderly who are remaining as the fans for ODI and test formats. Test format is tailor made for pensioners, who don't know how to spend their time.

as you know, the T20 format is a very exciting one and it is very fast-paced at the same time, there is no doubt that it is because of this that so many people who were previously not interested in cricket are now showing a healthy amount of enthusiasm for it, especially in the T20 format

moreover, i believe that with the introduction of the T20 format and the introduction of the T10 format very recently, i believe that cricket will be able to gain popularity once again among a wide range of people once the ICC concentrates on these shorter formats

even though Test matches and One-Day Internationals are still very much in demand by a very small percentage of people in the world, i think that the ICC should concentrate more on the shorter formats from now on instead of the longer ones

The second ODI between India VS England (women) will be played today. India has already taken a lead in this series and if they win today's match then they will win the series. I am an optimist about the performance of the Indian side but they cannot take the English side lightly. They have a couple of good batters who can change the game. Toss would again play a major role.

[barbara44]

I think now the trend has been changed as I'm not perfectly sure about it still I'm hopeful as according to my analysis the people are more interested in the T20 matches as compared to the ODI matches and if thats true then i feel so sad as the ODI matches showes the strength of the team more professionally as the strategy and the Line up syatem Slow and consistent Struggle. Lets well personally i do like ODI but T20 Hype is on mext levels.

Classical fans are going to be unhappy about T20 format, but let's admit that the shorter format is far more popular than either ODI or test formats. If the majority of the fans prefer T20, then there is not much the ICC can do about it. Even the advertisement rates per 10 second slots on TV are higher for the T20 matches when compared to the ODI matches involving the same teams. For the short to medium term, ODI and test can co-exist along T20, but in the long run only one format is going to survive. 

Here we can do long discussion about things which are going to happen in this game with current ICC management which is never been ideal for this game and better future of this game, but I am feeling now it's time for them to do some bold decisions even it's my personal view but still it needs to be done like for Men just we need T-20 and test matches and for women's we need ODI and T-20 because this will give them better results, and they will be able to have better revenue with better viewership which is very important in current situation.

Women's are not capable of giving better results in test match so allowing them for these two formats could be good and now new countries in men are also not happy with test format so allowing them for only T-20 is also not bad at all with ODI need to be ended for men as encouraging T-20 format with franchise cricket and having more exposure in many countries can increase quality and performance of many countries.

The match will start by 5:30pm Indian time. Indian women have the momentum with them, and they have won 4 out of the last 5 matches. I am so far impressed by their performance in England. They lost the T20 series 1-2, but showed a lot of determination and fight. One thing that worked for them is the fact that a number of the players have taken part in the W100 and WBBL franchise leagues. The WIPL is about to start in another 4-5 months, and that will present a significant boost to the women cricketers.

What I have noticed in this series is that the team batting first is losing. We saw the same thing in the T20 series. And in the first ODI match as well, India won the match easily by batting at a target of 228 runs given by England. In today's match too, I will say that the team that wins the toss and decides to field will win. But I hope to enjoy a competitive match.

The Indian women's team are on a roll right now as they have got great momentum and I am hoping that they might win the next game against  England. Generally, I think that the Indian women's team is quite good at ODI’s compared to T20. and as they have won the last game against England they will have no pressure at least less pressure than England in the following game. I am expecting really of the cricket and may the best team win.

Win in the first ODI gives them to play without much of pressure. England on the other side holds pressure, because losing the match will end the series winning for India. As said India Women team is good in ODI than the T20 format cricket. In the first match India won chasing the target. Winning the series keeps the team more confident for the upcoming Asia Cup.

[Sithara007]

England bowling seems to be completely disintegrating in the depth overs against the Indian women. Harmanpreet Kaur is just butchering the England bowlers and so far it is like a one woman show from her. India ends up at 333/5 after 50 overs, with Harmanpreet making 143. In the last 5 overs, England bowlers conceded a total of 80 runs. A win here would be massive for India, as they have already won the first ODI. This will be their first ever series victory in England, and will give a huge boost ahead of the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.

Today England Women won the toss and they decided to take filling. I think England Women took the right decision. Those who bat first in this field lose most of the matches. Now India is batting.  India have now lost 5 wickets. They have scored 333 in 50 overs.  It is not yet known who will win this match.

Watched the last 10 overs and loved every moment.

The last 5 overs were too much. Harmanpreet was on a rampage and also English bowlers bowled really bad against her. Tons of wides during that period, clearly debutants were feeling the pressure against Harman. This would be a record chase for England if they manage to cross the line.

Second highest score for India Women team. Firey performance from Harmpreet Kaur scoring 143 runs made India reach this score. Surely this is going to be a win for India. Reaching 334 runs is possible, but in today's situation England need to play hard from the beginning. Losing consecutive wickets in the beginning will increase the pressure, along with that it should maintain its runrate. This is really going to be very tough for England.

I am really shocked with this batting from Indian women's as they hit 71 runs in last four overs which is surely amazing stuff, still can't believe what the hell going here with these pretty women's and what are they trying to do with these mourned English women's which are still in not good mood as losing their one of the most beloved Queen few days back. Having 62 runs in last three overs is more amazing unbelievable things happening because I am feeling England is having new team as their all experienced women's are not available, so they are going to lose this match and series against India which is going to be great for them because this is going to be good confidence booster, and now we can feel proud with them.

Right now, required rate is over 7.3 with requirement is 208 in 28 overs with six wickets in hand things are interesting, but I am feeling good for these women's from India to make us proud tonight.

Now India is batting.  India have now lost 5 wickets. They have scored 333 in 50 overs.  It is not yet known who will win this match.

It was a surprise to see that India Woman scored 333 runs and anything above 300 runs is still a huge total to chase for Woman's Cricket and full credits to Harmanpreet Kaur to play a captains innings as i never expected India to win while touring England. England lost their 8 wicket and it looks like England will be loosing by a huge margin.

Edit: India won by 88 runs.

I did not think that India would be able to give such a big target. I don't think there is any chance of defeat given such a big target. India will win today's match very easily. Harmanpreet Kaur scored 143 runs off 111 balls. He was undefeated. With the help of his extraordinary innings, India was able to set a huge target of 333 runs. Also, Harleen and Smriti's batting was quite good. England's bowlers bowled very badly today. They gave 25 runs extra.

Finally India have won the match as well as the series 2-0 with a match to be played. Harmpreet Kaur contributed good on the batting side and Renuka Singh took important wickets making the England team slow their performance. India with the series win have shown to the World that they're getting stronger with time.

Surely a big surprise for many fans back at home as England is a big team and ranked two in rankings but currently due to few retirements and having personal issues few players were not available which give good advantage to India, and they have done good job with bat and bowl and have two wins from two matches with series also now in their name Harmanpreet Kaur doing amazing job with her captaincy and bat both giving her good success 147 with strike rate of 128 is surely amazing stuff from captain in this match with this Renuka Singh have 4 wickets even give 57 runs but good from her as well in these conditions.

Congrats for these brave women's and good luck for their clean sweep win which can happen if they play with this spirit in the last ODI of this series.

Although England Women is a stong team, India Women won this match. England Women played a very poor game in this match. India Women did well in both batting and bowling. Harmanpreet Kaur played very well in the match scoring 143 runs off 111 balls. I India Women  I congratulate them for winning this match.

[pakhitheboss]

In the last 4 overs, Hamanpreet Kaur scored 43 runs and I have no idea what got into her suddenly. Her contribution led to India scoring 333 runs and it gave India a psychological advantage. On the field every girl was amazing, two important wickets were got through run out. As always Renuka Thakur was simply amazing. India girls have already won the series and now if they can whitewash the English side would be interesting to watch.   

[Sithara007]

India women won the series 2-0, with one match remaining. They should aim for the whitewash. I noticed something interesting with this series. For the first time, I could see a lot of my friends talking about it. Women's cricket is increasingly becoming prominent in India and I am sure that the WIPL will turn out to be a major money churner for the BCCI. They needlessly delayed it for many years, despite the fact that they could earn enormous profits from this tournament. When the league will be launched, even the BCCI will be surprised with the amount of revenue it will bring.
