There is some bad news coming in. Sourav Ganguly has made it clear that he is not interested in becoming the ICC Chairman. And this further means that the corrupt Greg Barclay will continue as the ICC chairman for the next two years or so. The elections are due in November this year, and at this point it looks as if Barclay will be elected without any significant opposition, as he is the pig-4 nominee. I just hope that the boards outside the pig-4 unite this time around and get their nominee elected instead of Barclay.
Even if Sourav Ganguly gets elected as the next ICC chairman nothing is gonna change. ICC will operate same as what we see now. Look at the situation of BCCI, there were big expectation over Sourav Ganguly when elected. What happened till date is nothing new. Whether it is Barclay or Ganguly ICC will remain to function same as now prioritising money.

The game played under the rain law is commonly called the DLS method. The DLS method has generated a lot of controversy at present. Many times it is seen that the laws of DLS make a very simple equation very difficult resulting in a candidate pressure among the players. I think it is necessary to make sure that the law is fair before playing in the rain Because if the decision is not in everyone's favor then cricket Cricket will lose its popularity so I must think again about the DLS method.
The DLS (Duckworth-Lewis-Stern) Method has been there for many decades and also it was controversial in the past too. I remember the 1992 world cup semi-final, where England won against South Africa on the basis of DLS. DLS method sometimes gives an unfair advantage to the team batting first and makes the target really tough for the team batting second.
The DLS method is something that I am not a fan of, to be honest. The whole cricketing world has certainly seen some dumb decisions taken because of the DLS method. We have seen a lot of teams losing a winning match because of the DLS method which changes the equation drastically. This DLS method really needs to be revised. Cricket is already losing its popularity quite a bit in my opinion. And things are not going to improve unless ICC starts fixing the problems that Cricket has right now. In this day and age, I think the DLS method is one of them.

I remember that a few months back we had a discussion whether to keep this thread. There are separate threads for ODI, T20 and test formats and the question was whether we need a general thread or not. Back then I had supported keeping this one, because we need a place to discuss issues related to cricket in general, and not specifically related to any of the formats.
Agreed. It's a good thing that this thread didn't get locked. We need a general cricket discussion thread in order to randomly post about any particular format without searching for the specific thread related to it.Hopefully this love for cricket will be gone ahead by time despite any personal or national issues because sometimes I feel we have few members those go beyond limits which is good but still staying into better environment is good for all of us and this community.
Congrats Mates.
Many cricket enthusiasts focus way too much on the financial and political aspects of the game rather than focusing on the entertainment factor. Think people! Congrats Mates.
But with the change of time and the help of technology, poison cricket has improved a lot. Nowadays many new technologies have been added through which the game can be managed accurately on the field Earlier DRS preparation film in the game of cricket but nowadays DRS in cricket has become a very important technology. Because the wrong decision given by the umpire can be easily proven through DRS technology And wrong decisions lead to fresh opportunities to correct those mistakes which is very good for cricket
Yes,Technology has taken to another level for the purity of cricket. Where even if the umpires' decisions are wrong, the accuracy is checked with technology. A lot of technology in cricket has improved the quality of the game. Such as use of Spidercam, UltraEdge, cricketing decision review system. As of lately these issues are deeply related to cricket.

1000th page everyone. That is a big, big milestone. Wow! Surprised that nobody talked about this yet. This particular cricket discussion thread is easily one of the longest threads in the entire forum.
@fullypak who is basically a dim-witted account seller is the creator of this thread and has been inactive since 2019. I guess that's the only disappointing aspect of this thread.

I've no problem on BCCI getting backlash for right reasons but it shouldn't be one way street, which is the case right now especially from SENA media and Pundits ( Barring SA).
I won't single out him only, it's just whole ecosystem only look for their own interest and give virtue signals when it suits them

Barclay deserves whatever backlash that is directed against him. The only instance when we had a worse chairman for the ICC was when Sharad Pawar got in to that position. And interestingly, elections are due in a few months from now. Barclay says that he wants another term, which may not be acceptable for the BCCI. Sourav Ganguly has given hints that he is interested in this position. Kumar Sangakkara is another name that has surfaced recently. Either of these two will be a lot better for cricket when compared to Barclay.
Hehe Ikr tabhi toh bola BCCI should propose this bill in ICC meeting and see how ICC shit their bed. This will ensure that BCCI would not get unnecessary backlash of being greedy and killing the game, especially from English media.
According to recent news Indian broadcasters are not participating in the mock auction, unless ICC make the bidding process transparent. Let's see what happens next.

BCCI is always blamed for being greedy, despite the fact that the ECB-CA-CNZ are the ones who harm the associate nations the most. The current chairman (Greg Barclay) tried to sabotage the Olympic inclusion of cricket several times, and only timely intervention of players and the IOC kept the chances for 2028 Games alive. As long as businessmen such as Barclay takes decisions, there will be allegations of corruption. I sincerely hope that the Indian and overseas media houses will refuse to take part in this scam auction.

I was feeling we need some system like UEFA but sadly recently we have some corruption charges against them also but still they are doing good for the sack of game and improving their system and quality which is the best part of their organization but sadly here no one is doing specially B-4 are trying their best for hurting associate countries which can do much good for this game in long run.
T20 format is revolutionary for all as this can bring good profit in short term for all countries and ICC, but for this they have to do some good work and better planning with the help of all stakeholders.

IPL is currently the most popular domestic league in cricket history. Currently this IPL is a world famous tournament One has to spend a lot of money on an ipl event The world's most famous cricketers want to see if their names appear in the IPL auction Undoubtedly, IPL is a very popular league. BCCI however operates very well under this name The number of teams in IPL has already increased compared to earlier. I think the popularity of IPL will increase with the change of time.
As for ICC, i would like to see BCCI to present -Same % of ICC revenue model- proposal for every member including associate members (despite BCCI generating lion share), given ICC is ready to introduce 30-40 team format in WC (T-20 and 50 overs). If not then they should shut up about everything.
LOL.. this will remain as a pipedream. In a few months, we will get to know about the revenue distribution for next cycle (2024-31). I am not expecting any drastic changes. And there is a real possibility that the share for associate members may go down even further. During the last cycle (2016-23), the allocation was reduced from $52.5 million per year to $20 million per year. That is around $200,000 per year to each of the associate nations. Ireland and Afghanistan may demand a greater share, since they are also full members. In that case, the allocation for the associate members may get reduced.
