ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Indymoney]

^^ I am in favor, If BCCI deducts even 50% or 100% salary for National team but they should take care of domestic players as they don't earn much and their livelihood depended on BCCI only.

That is a fair assessment and even if they deduct 100% of the salary of the nation team members that is not a big deal as the amount of salary they earn per match is really high and then the annual contract as well as sponsorship along with the IPL but they need to take care of lower wagged players as well as domestic players.
The situation is getting worse globally as well as in India and i am not expecting we will see any sporting events anytime soon.

I am really happy as we are facing very terrible time around the world and few biggest Cricket Boards like ECB and ACB facing very cruicial time but in Bangladesh, Pakistan and India have some better situation and they are announcing they can handle all issues without any problem so better going with domestic players and local staff is very good and they deserve some better intention from big heros if they announces by theirself then its could be more good and ideal thing for them.

They will get 100% of their contract fees, and earnings from advertisements and endorsements. At the most, they may face a 10% or 20% reduction in the annual salary (in the form of forfeited match fees).

That is a very generous pay cut if you ask me. Politicians themselves received around 30-40% pay cuts. This makes Cricketers even more lucky under current conditions especially when the world is facing a recession.

Yup.
Adding to that, only a few of the cricketers have contributed to the COVID 19 relief. Individuals such as Ravi Shastri are yet to donate a penny, despite almost every single celebrity in other fields doing so. That said, the real danger to them would be a reduction in the advertisement revenue if the economy goes in to a recession. Since the contracts are already signed for this financial year, the impact will be felt from next year onward.

Actually, not heard much about the top players as well who are donating it or already done it to the likes of Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Virendra Sehwag, Zaheer Khan, Irfan Pathan, Ravi Shastri, Yuvraj Singh and other big names. I hope they can easily contribute a very big amount to the nation and help people. If they are already doing it then it is very good thing an inspiration for others.

^^ Every public figure/ celebrity doing his/her part in these tough situation, some came out in public and i am sure others are also playing their part silently.

Not just celebrities but common people like us, who are fortunate enough to help others, Should do their bits in this cause according to their pockets. Only collective effort can help our cause.

Anyone watching the WC semi final between Australia and West Indies ?
Can't believe that Australia started off so badly but they will win in the end.

It's like a recorded full match. Possibly there is a bot that is just updating the scores in the same way that happened in 1996 in the real match. Australia will win this match. Australia then will face Sri Lanka in the final and Sri Lanka Wil win the world cup ?

Is that what it is?

Star sports shows full recorded match but i am not sure if a bot is updating the same old commentary in cricinfo or someone doing it right now as this is a good way to keep the commentators of cricinfo busy in times of no live matches.

Yes, The final was won by Srilanka but they beat India in the semi final in India. This was the biggest upset and the Indian fans did not allowed to complete the match when they saw their team losing. The stadium was put on fire.

Watching a recorded match is something else than looking at score update in a website lol
Now back to the cricket, that was the time when I started to understand cricket and I used to be amazed by the cool captaincy from Sri Lankan skiper. I think Sri Lanka had their all time best team at that time. They showed the world how to play cricket.

Winning or losing is a part of game but there were some moments which should not have happened in 1996 Semi final.

Indian fans need to understand that cricket is not only their sports. There are other nations around the world who also loves cricket and can be as crazy as them.
But of course not burning the gallery :-P

Not very good memories for cricket

[JSRAW]

Lol both of you didn't get the irony/joke and took my comment on the another level. 

But in reply to your comments, yeah it was shameful considering Eden garden has a rich history and they fucked up badly and BCCI along with the states keep this memory fresh so that no one can repeat such shameful act ever again.

[JohnBitCo]

This caption is very strange. How did Srilanka win the match by default ?
They played a better game and won it through their hard work and not by default.

I was also being sarcastic :-D
