If you’re not aware then let me inform you that ICC is bringing several new rules which will make test cricket very interesting. The most notable rule is the introduction of free hit on the no ball, that’ll force bowlers to not give away extra runs.
I was not aware of that.

By the way, I am more into seeing aggressive betting then standing on the pitch and do nothing. In test match a batsman can stay as long as he wants and score double or triple century. Nothing is stopping them to do that.

Yes, you are right they have changed the mindset. Before they used to play for draw and now they play to win.
Completely true. I do agree that aggressive batting is a lot more fun to watch when compared to slow batting, but there are still a good number of fans of the slow batting style like JSRAW and I can understand their opinion.

Honestly, I don't find time to watch ODIs or tests these days which is why the quick T20 matches are what I usually watch these days.

Well people love to watch high scoring games as compare to the low scoring ones.  Previously 250 was considered as the good score in ODI but since the introduction of T20, we see many ODIs score reaching 300+.  The reason is that we have develop a habit of hitting throughout T20 matches and bowlers has very less chances to restrict the scores.

@Haunebu bro, would like to add "sensibly" too with any kind of approach. in the current generation, I see many aggressive players but yet to see another Sehwag kind of destructive opener in Red Ball.
No one till now. Can you remember the 2011 world cup? He scored a boundary in all of the matches in the first ball of the innings (Missed 1 match maybe). By the way, sometimes I feel Ishan Kishan will be another version (quite lower) of Sehwag, hahaha.

Yeah, he didn't score anything in the Final, if I remember correctly.

Btw Sehwag was more dangerous in Test Cricket in comparison of  White ball cricket due to his "See the ball, Hit the ball" mindset.

By the way, It's sad that I have not found a single member yet in here:
Yh I get it. I think it's subjective.

I am not into gambling and always keep my distance from gambling. You should contact with @eaLiTy. this user recently posted about his-her betting win in Main thread. And try contacting with @Indymoney @Pffrt they might be interested in gambling. they all seem to incline in betting.

Money plays a big part in everything, in the end, Cheesy and cricket is no exception.

But the change in mindset doing more harm than good. again due to this test finishing in 3 days instead of 5 days. if you look at the bigger picture it's not a good deal.

If you are a broadcaster or generating ticket revenue, then not a good sign as well. They are paying money for 5-day cricket's rights but they are not getting much out of it and no ticket sells for last 2 days and something should be done here otherwise broadcaster can put their foot down next time when it comes to Test cricket.

If it's for stepping the line then it should be welcome and implemented asap but if it's for above height-bouncer scenario then it should not be allowed. ICC can't afford to give all advantage to batters only. they already have tons of advantage on their sides in comparison of bowlers.

And ICC need more than that, to name a few

1. Increase salary for Test Cricketer
2. Day Night Test
3. Introducing Good competitive cricketing wickets

It's actually exciting to me. Before we used to see test matches playing 5 long days without any result. They were not hitting the balls but staying in the pitch like a dead man. It was boring to see. If you don't play then why are you in the pitch at the first place.

Now a days, we hardly see draw tests.

Hey test cricket is not forgetten by players what has happened is now players have a different approach towards it, earlier they used to settle for a draw now they want to go for outright win.

Test cricket should be the ultimate test for any cricketer-team, and if any batsman or team is playing in a test match as they play in 20-20 mode, then it is pathetic.
99 times of 100 they are going to fail if choosing that approach. That's why we are witnessing so many matches finishing within 3 days.

I don't mind batsmen playing aggressively in test cricket, its exciting for spectator too but play longer for f***sake because there is a reason its called 5-day cricket-Test cricket ( Test of cricketing skill)

Swinging bat in a Test match is very easy. Every club cricketer can do this on his best day and get quick 50-80runs sometime 100 too because in test format field position is entirely different in comparison of shorter format. The real challenge is batting all session and making big runs 100-200-300 and so on.

No one can deny that IPL changed everything in the world cricket, be it money, biggest talent hunt in Cricket history-career jumpstarter.
Bumrah, Pandaya brothers, Chahal, Maxwell, Warner, Bravo, Pollard etc list is very long.

But Imho because of 20-20 format, the majority of players don't take Test cricket seriously now. that's why test matches getting over within 3 days nowdays.

I strongly feel that the IPL has done more good than bad. It has become my favorite cricketing event over the years. The talent, emotions, grandeur, strokeplay etc are some of the reasons why I am in love with the IPL.

I do agree that there are a few cons, but the advantages of the IPL make it totally worth it in the long run.
It's the same for me. I do believe IPL done good thing than the bads. I can not find anything bad about IPL.

It's helping the players financially, it's exposing the talents, young stars. It's changing the conservative mindset that you have to bat very carefully and 250 runs is enough to win a 50 over match. There are a lot of good things about IPL.

Australia tournament was scheduled to get into the form of India, but things happened in the other way with Australia coming back to the form with the winning of the series. Before the world cup the IPL is scheduled which could get back the Indian players onto form.
It works both ways, sometimes things go straight, sometimes shit happens Cheesy

It's true that IPL can help in terms of getting in form-match practice, due to the high-pressure game during the IPL's matches.

But we shouldn't forget that its shorter format of the game and very different from 50 over cricket.

Guys, please let's not discuss PSL here (it'll be off-topic). Don't forget, we've got a separate thread to discuss that league:

Islamabad United finally won the match. It was really entertaining match. Until the 2nd last over, it was hard to predict who will win especially the bookies were really confuse.

So, we are going to have 2nd Eliminator with Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi. I think I will pick Islamabad again and in that case the final will be in between Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators.

May be Quetta Gladiators will be the champion :-)

Would love to heard you guys by the way.

Because of IPL now a days 400+ is not even safe in 50 over format. Cricket is now more focused on Betting performance. By the way, non of you are watching the PSL Eliminator 1  match?


Karachi Kings are on fire!
Yeah True, because of this, IPL literally jump-started many careers, domestic and International players both and it changed the world cricket. bad or good it's another debate.

I hardly follow IPL religiously. so PSL is out of the option for me unless I want to see some fine bowling performance.
