India lost that match intentionally to keep Pakistan out and play against the Kiwis in the semi-finals.

Shahid Afridi and Gautam Gambhir had some heated arguments

Kapil Dev and Gavaskar going against Shoaib Akhtar for proposing a friendly match

Chris Gayle going wild against Ramnaresh Sarwan.





Afridi VS Gambhir.
One has political ambitions and the other is already into politics. They need some issue to always remain in the limelight. The best issue is to talk about India and Pakistan.

Kapil-Gavaskar VS Akhtar.
When the world is in crisis, Akhtar comes out with a solution let's play cricket  Cheesy  what else do you need only Cricket can resolve this humanity crisis..LOL

Gayle VS Sarwan
Gayle has nothing to complain he is more successful than Sarwan but he also need to be in the news to earn money when he is not playing.

Cricket is no more a gentleman's game.


Cricket now is more as a money-making machine for many of the players. that is why they all wait for the IPL to happen and the teams bid for them in any amount. More and more money they keep making via IPL and then through brand endorsement, attending different events and they charge for it etc. Through cricket they open the different revenue sources as well. Hope in all other streams as well it also becomes this way.

About Misbah, I've hated him all my life. As a captain, he brought the sense of took-took in the whole team. As a coach, he's unable to bring the much-needed aggressiveness in the performance of the team. It was his extremely good luck that he (and the team) performed good in the last couple of test series that he played as the captain.
I enjoyed the way Misbah ul Haq played, he used to start really slow and then explode in the end and i still remember the way in which he took Pakistan till the final in the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 and he fought till the end and it was a display of heart and courage when there was no support from the rest of the team members and during his reign as captain the entire team was struggling and he was the sole player staying till the end.

Get our shit together, eh? Tongue I don't see it happening any time soon. PCB is a complete package of disaster for the team right now. I don't see Pakistani team getting any good improvement anytime soon. Have you looked at the category A of the recently made central contract? Not a single good player. This team is done for; Misbah was never a good cricketer; he is never going to be a good coach either. This team is going to remain in ruins even though the nation's prime minister used to be a cricketer. Roll Eyes
I didn't get the chance to check out the national contract list yet (plz send me link) but i agree PCB is in deep mess due to petty politics and no one wants to select team on merits.

I can understand why Pakistan don't like him in coach/selector role but i never understood why so much hate for cricketer Misbah? he was pretty good batsman and still very respectable around the world especially among the Test fraternity.

Immi's plate is already filled with other challenges, let him concentrate on more important issues.

Quote
PCB Men’s Central Contract List for 2020-21:

Category A

1.         Azhar Ali (Central Punjab)

2.         Babar Azam (Central Punjab/Karachi Kings)

3.         Shaheen Shah Afridi (Northern/Lahore Qalandars).

OK, I must admit I totally forgot Babar Azam when I said not a single good player. Except for him, this team has no excellent player.

About Misbah, I've hated him all my life. As a captain, he brought the sense of took-took in the whole team.

'There was no intent from MS Dhoni' - Ben Stokes on India's crushing defeat against England in 2019 World Cup

https://www.timesnownews.com/sports/cricket/article/there-was-no-intent-from-ms-dhoni-ben-stokes-on-indias-crushing-defeat-against-england-in-2019-world-cup/597331

Hahahaha

Did he mentioned or felt disgusting with other stuff too like; How umpires gave crucial decisions in favor of his team when he was at the crease -during the World Cup final and The Ashes- Where he won the iconic test match for his team?

As PIG-3 would say it was more about securing place for England, no one care for Pakistani team and clearly not Indian team Grin and about Dhoni, well that's how he play "Taking Deep " lol. He won many games for India with same strategy and cost some critical games, arguably recent WC as well. like i always say "Its part of the package" no one can do much about it.

I believe Dhoni lost millions of Pakistani fans that day but its good thing because now Pakistan team or fans clearly understand that if they want to win the World Cup or finish any job ever again then they need to focus on hard work and get your shit together. Luck and neighbors are not their best allies and luck definitely not going to help them every time.

Oh come on, It's not India, Kiwis were the one who wantonly kept Pak from entering the semifinals  Tongue  

After India lost to ENG, ENG were having 10 points and had to face NZ who were at 11 points. In that match, Kiwis intentionally lost the match by 119 runs. They didn't put up any fight as they did in the finals, this resulted in Pak to be eliminated. Now tell me who kept Pak out? India or NZ?

@JSRAW I love how the media suddenly gives credit to Ben Stokes words, because if my memory serves me right then wasn’t he ridiculed by the media for punching fans after his midnight drinks, and wasn’t he also punished for abusing a fan during a live cricket match this year?. Lastly I do understand that many people were disappointed with Ms Dhoni’s knock during the World Cup, but they need to understand that he’s grown old now and it’s quiet possible that he may never be able to finish matches like he used to do before, and they need to accept this harsh reality.

People are loosing their minds during this pandemic
I agree with it, the cops are killing innocent people Breonna Taylor and recently George Floyd cases are prime example. Taylor was shot multiple times and George was pinned down by a cop and died and these were not criminals and these sort of news are coming out which is depressing in a situation like these. Rumors and other controversial stuffs are not that bad but the mental health issues are a major concern.

People are loosing their minds during this pandemic as they have nothing else to do and for that they create on interesting and sometimes controversial stories just to be on the headline and all these rumors are sports related as we are not hearing about the other rumors from media personalities but all the sports people are talking and creating all the buzz  Cheesy.

Two different cricket leagues are ongoing right now. First one is the Vincy Premier T10 League 2020, which involve some of the familiar names in West Indies such as Kesrick Williams and Sunil Ambris. The format is T10, and the matches take place in the island of St Vincent. The second league is in little-known island nation of Vanuatu, called Vanuatu Blast T10 League. 
I was not aware of these tournaments going on right now, i have not seen any sports book showing these matches to wage and usually i used to see leagues matches in sports book but not this time, if you know any sports book taking bets i would like to know and where i could watch these matches, i am bored and was wagging on E sports for the past two months and if i could wage on these it would be great.

Football is back and it is good to see that sporting events are making a comeback and hopefully cricket will resume in the coming months.
For now there is nothing much to discuss and the life without any sporting event for the past couple of events was really boring.

How are we doing all? Any major update of cricket to be in the ground soon in anywhere? There are some football already back in Europe and some are on the way.

Sorry lately I am not much into cricket discussion since for me there are not much to discuss until we have some real cricket. Life without cricket is boring to be honest.

@JSRAW I can feel your frustration, but we should look at the positive side too that all the known famous cricket stars are safe and they have not been effected by this virus, which means that they’ll be able to quickly resume their role on the pitch in coming months as and when cricket matches resumes again.

Furthermore Ian Chappell believe that we will see IPL instead of the T20 World Cup because ICC won’t risk upsetting BCCI, and I too agree with his opinion but what about you’ll what do you think of his opinion?.
Since there is nothing much going on in the sporting world all we hear about is speculation and live videos conferencing from players in youtube and other social media platforms and sharing their playing experience which is somewhat refreshing to hear from their perspective and along with that as already mentioned funny videos and rumors are the things that makes any noise. The rest for each and every sports athlete must be a blessing in disguise as all of their injuries will be healed before the cricket season starts and hopefully none of the players gets overweight because of boredom  Cheesy.

We are not dead yet...so that's a relief and good news.

On updates

-Pig 2 (Ind +Aus)working together.
-ICC shitting on BCCI, Corona shitting on everyone.
-T-20 WC seems distant dream, Fans crying.
-OZ fans seems satisfied with the India and Ashes series.
-IPL seems tough ask in current condition.
-Warner doing Tik-Tok videos.
-Cricketers interviewing Cricketers, Commentators playing the same game and Reporters are pissed off.

Australia is in a very difficult position right now, and that's the reason why they are trying to cut a deal with the BCCI. If the Indian tour doesn't go ahead, then CA would be looking at around $200 million in loss, which would simply destroy them. So they would agree to whatever the BCCI demands from them. Even if that means the cancellation of the T20 World Cup, which is scheduled for this year.

Not frustrated  Cheesy and its bit old news except Ian Chappell name is new addition, i did share this in T-20 thread. Not sure if anyone has any say in it, Although both cricket board seems to have same objectives which is related to revenue. The thing is Covid19 spreading in India so i am not sure how BCCI is going to tackle this problem.

It seems to me that everyone building a follow up story if IPL takes place instead of WC T-20. Mark Taylor gave couple of reasons and the way he puts out it sounds logical.

TLDR : Money and revenue matters..
T20 World Cup postponement could pave the way for IPL: Mark Taylor

Well in this case just for IPL to happen the World Cup May get postponed and their may be some objections raised by some of the boards I think considering which is the bigger of the two . One is run by BCCI and other by ICC . Hopefully their are no major retaliation and fans are able to see the cricket whichever it may be .

I guess CA and BCCI are on same page and their interest aligns with eachothers.

- If T-20 WC gets cancels then BCCI is winner, in case IPL takes place in OCT-NOV. BCCI might earn heavy amount approx $400-$500 Millions from the IPL in comparison of $80 Millions from the T-20 WC.
- In return BCCI will play Bilateral series with the CA which is schedule in Dec this year. Winner is CA

Rest of the cricketing nations should raise their voice if that happens.
