Another Bad decisions by ICC to abandon the Series between Pakistan Vs India Women qualifiers for the world cup and making India to qualify for Wonmen World cup and Pakistan disqualified. Another bias approach by ICC.

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.  Cheesy

No need to feel bad about the terminology. That is a standard one. The match was abandoned due to crowd disturbance and Sri Lanka was declared as the winners, since they were ahead as per the Duckworth/Lewis rule. Back then, it used to be very difficult to control the crowd. After a few such incidents, the BCCI ordered the construction of barricades around the stands, and these sort of incidents never got repeated.

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.

According to Indian fans some matches never happened and they never talk about it in public as it brings bad dreams.  Grin Tongue

1996 WC Semi Final India vs Sri lanka
2003 WC Final Australia vs India
2007 WC India vs Bangladesh
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

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

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.

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.

You can watch the 1996 Semi finals and final here.

This is a real world cup semi final match which was played in 1996.
https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8039/scorecard/65191/australia-vs-west-indies-2nd-sf-wills-world-cup-1995-96

Star sports is telecasting this match as a Live Match now. This is a part of their series of Retrolive in which they telecast old matches in full, not highlights.
Help me to understand the entire story here.
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?

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.

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.




I had no clue but just checked it in espncricinfo.com. It's in Mohali which is somewhere in India?
This is a great surprise for me. Help me to understand it. Is this really an on ground cricket or some kind of esports? What is this 2nd SF, RetroLive?

^^ 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.

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.
