It is never possible to make Bangladeshi cricket corruption-free because corruption is running in the blood of Bangladesh. Therefore, both nepotism and corruption have become so prevalent in Bangladesh that even if we change the system now, corruption will not change. We never imagined that Pakistan, which was much more popular and advanced in cricket than Bangladesh, would fall so far behind due to corruption in cricket in Pakistan, but now Pakistan is the equivalent team to Bangladesh. However, it is possible to make Pakistani cricket free from corruption if the management takes sufficient steps but it is not possible to make Bangladesh free from corruption very easily due to party politics. Ever since the day political benefits were given to the players in Bangladesh, Bangladeshi cricket has started to decline gradually.

In countries such as Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the players tend to be politically active. And members of the cricket board are usually selected on the basis of their political affiliation. And this is one of the reasons why there are frequent frictions between the board and the players. And it is the same in Pakistan as well. Remember Rameez Raja getting replaced by a political appointee just after the elections? Anyway, this is the way things work in South Asia. Even the ICC can't do anything about it.

Between all this fuckery, one thing is permanent and it is Rajiv freaking Shukla.

Everything changes in subcontinent cricket, even government change, idk how but he remains in the system no matter what and feels like he might outlive every one.

Lancashire played a very good match and they won and beat Sussex. Sussex is a very strong team, and they won the match with a good score but try of PS also good in chasing runs. They also made their fans very happy. Lancashire also played very well in the match but also made their fans upset. Lancashire needs a lot of hard work now to lead their team forward. Sussex won by 1 wickets and 3 balls. The Group B match between Lancashire and Sussex was played at County Ground. Sussex won the toss and choosing field  first. Sussex  is playing amazing. The best batting performance in the Sussex man Tom Clark scored 139 and 109 balls hitting 16 fours and 5 sixs.

in One Day Cup Yorkshire was to bat firs and opened sith Adam and Finlay with a 22 runs partnership then two wickets were lost consecutively. After elimination of openers the middle and final order players played their crucial role by scoring great runs. One of the middle order player Matthew was closer to century but he unfortunately lost wicket at 85 runs. Yorkshire lost all wickets before overs end with a target of 247 runs. Somerset is stronger than Yorkshire in bowling and batting as well. We can understand it from the start of the innings with 36 runs partnership but the opener Archie should be credited for this victory because he contributed 95 runs. Somerset batting lineup played safely without losing extra wickets. Somserset chased the target with 5 balls left and won this game by 6 wickets.

In this match, the Yorkshire team gave the Somerset team a target of 247 runs and if you look at it, it was a good target. In this match, Matthew Revis scored 85 runs and George Hill scored 41 runs, but the rest did not show any special performance. The batting of the players of the opposing team was worth watching. As soon as the batting started, Archie Vaughan scored 95 runs and inspired the rest of his players, due to which the performance and efficiency of the rest of the players was also very good and James Rew (c)† and Joshua Thomas, these two players completed this target and won this match. The start of this match was also very good, with this they did wonders in the rest of the cars and easily completed the target of 247 runs and won this match and they got four players out in this match.

Both the teams performed very well in the match, because the target of 338 runs is never a small target, it is a big and strong target. And this target was met by Sussex by playing till the end, Sussex achieved their target in 49.3 overs, they lost a total of 9 wickets, Tom Clark played really well, he played a total of 109 balls and scored 139 runs, Tom Clark really played a very important and big role in the team's victory. The performance of both the Sussex and Lancashire teams was very good, and in the end, with only 3 balls to spare, Sussex achieved their target by making a total of 342 runs and won the match in the end.

You correctly pointed out impact of corruption and nepotism and politics on game of cricket in both Bangladesh and Pakistan. In Bangladesh case particularly with political inducements showered upon players it makes system almost impossible to remedy. Pakistan cricket is in decline and that is perhaps most glaring example of impact corruption can have on team prowess. It is okay that you feel Pakistan may have better shot at getting rid of political muck in its cricket board than Bangladesh does. It shows you understand difference in levels of governance interference.

I think this issue is not limited to Bangladesh and Pakistan, but in most South Asian countries, nepotism and politics play a big role in cricket as well like in the others sectore they do. And that's why you'll see that most of these countries are always at the bottom of the rankings.


 Basically, where there is corruption, the first thing we will notice is that there is no progress. And it is exactly the same in cricket.

Middlesex and Warwickshire faced each other in Group B of One Day Cup where Middlesex won the game by a 28 runs margin. Middlesex opened with Joe and Joshua with a 12 runs partnership however the start was very cold but middle order players had contributed enough runs to make a big target. Wickets were knocked out at short intervals but the middle order player Ben and opener Joshua were in great form hitting boundaries over boundaries. Ben was about to score fifty but unfortunately lost wicket at 48 runs then final order players were eliminated with no great runs. This innings came to an end at 217 runs losing all wickets with 2 overs left behind. Warwickshire opened with 35 runs partnership the losing wickets at short intervals make them struggle in next overs. The game was going great they could win this game but loss of early wickets make them los this game. The top and middle order players scored great runs unfortunately losing all wickets at 189 runs so they lost this game by 28 runs.

Middlesex won by 28 runs because of strong effort from their middle order batsmen. With slow start and losing wickets mostly players but Ben and Joshua scored quickly and helped their team reach total of 217 runs. Otherside Warwickshire performance was bad because they lost wickets too early. But their top and middle players scored some runs they could not handle pressure and their entire team was out for 189 runs. Means that team ability to bounce back from setbacks like Middlesex middle order did can be good to winning.

Between all this fuckery, one thing is permanent and it is Rajiv freaking Shukla.

Everything changes in subcontinent cricket, even government change, idk how but he remains in the system no matter what and feels like he might outlive every one.

His case is a bit odd. He belongs to the Indian National Congress, which is the official opposition party in India. But then he has shown a lot of adaptability by siding with the ruling party as per his needs. People might have heard about Nitish Kumar and his unique ability of siding with whomever in power, but Shukla is one step ahead of him. For the last 5 years, he has remained as the vice-president of the BCCI, despite all the allegations against him. And if I am not wrong, that makes him the longest serving BCCI official who is still in power.

my first memory of watching him at famous lord's victory where ganguly took off his shirt, shukla ji was standing right next to him at indian dressing room. I am sure someone can also dig older instance.

You need talent for ride all shorts of tides and survive. Nitish Kumar is another good example.

The match of the teams in this group was not that special and interesting because the match between them was not very strong and if both the teams had played well this match could have been much better. Although their batsmen did not give such a strong target, due to which they still won their bowler played the most hard and good in this victory, due to which this match was easy to win. If you look the opposing team was not that strong either, due to which this target and their good play have been quite strong and their run-scoring effort was quite good. Which they have to maintain in every match and be successful. They should try to make themselves better than before in every match which will make it easier for them to succeed in this league.

In Group B, Strongest team is YOR and they lost only one game and won 4 games out of 5. This game was played between MID and WAR teams on Rugby School Ground. In start of game, MID team won toss and they got opponent to choose fielding or batting first and they chose batting first. MID team runs was very small in target and they set 217 runs in 50 overs by losing all wickets. Caries played good in opening of line and he made 43 runs in 56 balls and hitted six 4s. Ben and Jack also batted well after lost wicket of Caires, Ben made 48 runs and Jack scored 38 runs. WAR bowlers showed good help in bowling but in batting line, all wickets were got out and they chased down only 189 runs and lost game by 28 runs. Jake deserved player of America award because he took down 5 wickets in 10 overs.

Game with low score might not be as fun to watch but winning team bowlers deserve much of praise for protecting their small score. This shows that strong bowling group can still win game even if batsmen do not do well.
For this team to keep winning their batsmen must play better in future games especially when they face stronger teams. Getting better in every game is most important thing if they want to win league.

If Warwickshire had done a little better in terms of high scoring matches, it would not have been difficult for them to win this match. As they scored 189 runs against 217. The responsibility for the loss in the match was two batsmen, one Ed Barnard and Zen Malik, along with many others who were far behind in strike rate. If they could have kept the wickets, it would have been possible to have a good contest in the match. Although Warwickshire started well, they could not go ahead in the end.

The first ODI match between Australia and South Africa will start tomorrow, I think Australia is very strong in this match. Because Australia has won the T20I series, Australia will play a significant role in winning the ODI series. Because Australia can perform aggressively in both batting and bowling, and there are more patient and aggressive players in the batting line-up.
So I think Australia will perform much better in this match than South Africa, and how much do you think Australia can play in winning this match?

There is no doubt that Australia is stronger than the South African team in the ODI cricket format, but if we compare their performance with the T20 series performance, I would still say that we are probably in for a close series because the T20 series also had fairly close performances in almost all the matches.

So I don't agree that the South African team will lose this series very easily. On the contrary, if they can give a slightly better performance, they can also win this series.

There will be a lot of interest in this series and the matches they will play will be very strong and they will also make their hard work in such a way that this match will be very enjoyable. There is no doubt about it and if we look at the T20 series, Australia will also be strong in it. They should play well in this series and make themselves strong enough to whitewash South Africa. Australia works a lot on themselves and make themselves such a good team.

The South African team should also try to play well so that they can weaken Australia strength and Victory by playing well themselves. This will also strengthen South Africa and they will be successful.

There is no doubt that Australia is a very strong team as compared to South Africa team. Maxwell didn't part of T20 squads while Mitchell Marsh is aggressive bastmen and Captain. Australia has won the T20 series but these matches were very competitive and Australia won the match on the second last ball of the last over, so I hope these matches will be very tough and South Africa will try to make a good comeback and win the ODI series. If we talk about the stats South Africa has won three out of the five matches while one match has been drawn and Australia has won one match. South Africa has the upper hand according to stats and they are favorite to win the first ODI match.

I am not denying that Australia are a stronger team than South Africa at home. We have already seen the T20 series between the two teams where Australia won the series 2-1. T20 and ODI series are two different formats but I feel that the players in the ODI squad of the Australian team are stronger compared to the team that was in the T20 squad. South Africa is a strong team, they can fight hard in the match, I don't think South Africa can win the ODI series with Australia. Anyway, I will put Australia ahead in the first ODI match of the series.

[Bluedrem]

The first ODI match between Australia and South Africa is scheduled to be played tomorrow. Considering the recent performance, neither team is in a stable position in ODIs, that is, they have lost more than their opponents in ODIs at present.
Considering the past performance, both teams are equally capable in ODIs. According to espncricinfo.com, these two teams have faced each other 100 times so far and South Africa has won 55 matches and Australia has won 51 matches. There have been three ties and one match has not been decided.

Personally, I feel that Australia can win the match tomorrow.
Let's see who wins.

I will definitely favor Australia in also this series, I never think South Africa is a stronger team than Australia. If we look at the previous matches between South Africa and Australia, South Africa has never been better than Australia, so I think Australia has a high chance of winning the series in their current ODI series as well, now we have to see how they perform in the match, because nothing can be said with certainty.
