Anyone waiting for the IPL auction for 2021 which is going to happen on Today and pretty much excited about the teams pick for their.

Any Idea about who is going to be sold for huge price tag in this season? My prediction is that Steve Smith.

Its mini auction so not excited enough but franchie released some big guns so looking forward for some bid war.
CSK should target Smith
RCB should buy Maxwell
Delhi could use Shakib, Morris.
Finch ---Don't know--

Here every franchise stands atm

Travel restrictions are for short term, may be 1-2 years and i'm being generous with the timeline. Getting all the boards on the same page takes some time anyway so it could work.

More than 3 teams do add logistics but it also generate revenue etc if series is successful. FTP is there for good reason but ICC is going to wake up and cry if BCCI-ECB-CA take this project on their own hands in near future. It would hurt small cricketing nation most IMO.

I agree that triangular and quadrangular series can generate a lot of revenue. But nowadays, the cricket boards (at least the big 3 boards) receive most of their revenue from the franchise T20 leagues. So it suits them to limit the ODI series to one week, rather than stretching it out for 2 weeks or more. And regarding ICC, after Shashank Manohar was replaced with Greg Barclay it is taking a pro-big 3 stance. So there won't be much opposition from them. And no one really cares about the small cricketing nations (at least the big 3 and the ICC under Barclay).

Triangular/Quadrilateral series make more sense to me when majority of team struggling with the scheduling. With this smaller team can also compete with the big teams.

For ex : England vs South Africa vs Ireland and Windies playing 1 series. Simultaneously New Zealand vs India vs Afghanistan and Bangladesh playing with each other. Similarly Sri Lanka vs Pakistan vs Australia and Zimbabwe or Netherlands. This would help small cricketing nation with the finance and experience as well.

On CSA vs CA tour cancel drama
CSA seeks ICC's intervention over Cricket Australia's withdrawal

With travel restrictions in place, the boards may take a negative stance towards such series. An additional team means more logistics and expenses. And I am not sure whether such series will be included in the ICC ODI super league or not. According to the schedule by ICC, each team needs to play the other a total of 3 ODIs. And I am not sure whether the matches in tri/quad series will be included in this requirement.

Even the current ICC head made an announcement last year that he prefers bilateral series to tournaments involving large number of teams. The preference from the big 3 teams is also towards bilateral series. They are also concerned that the addition of any team (outside the big 3) may reduce the financial value of the series and make it less attractive to the TV broadcasters.

@JSRAW if things were normal then your idea had merits, but sadly things are not going to be normal even in 2021 hence it’s impossible to implement your idea.

@Vishnu.Reang you have hit the sweet spot because money is the key factor in deciding which series takes place, and everyone knows more money is made when the top 3 teams play each other.

Quote

"The game needs leadership right now," Graeme Smith, CSA's director of cricket, told an online press conference on Monday. "It needs to understand the complexities. I don't think world cricket wants three nations competing against each other [almost exclusively] in 10 years' time. How does that benefit the game? It doesn't. I think that will then amplify the [T20] leagues, and the leagues will just get bigger and bigger and bigger. And probably the rest of the member nations will have little to no content. If the leadership at the ICC don't address these things now... it's been fast-tracked because of COVID. These issues are becoming more and more relevant and amplified. I think the ICC was caught a little off guard because of some of these issues."

^^ CSA is really pissed off with CA over cancelling the tour. Director Greame Smith also pull out all the guns against Australia and BIG 3 recently for the right reasons.

I think this is a right time to start Triangular Series instead of Bilateral for the limited over cricket.

Triangular/Quadrangular series is a thing of the past. With franchise T20 leagues taking so much time out of the international calendar, the cricket boards don't have enough time to conduct triangular series.

BTW, I don't think that CA did anything wrong here. The South African strain of COVID 19 is much talked about in the medical circles nowadays, because the existing vaccines have a very low efficacy against it. The Australians are perfectly justified, if they think that sending their players to South Africa pose an unnecessary threat to the health and well being of their fellow citizens.

Ireland just announced their schedule for this summer, which includes T20 series against South Africa (July 2021) and Zimbabwe (August 2021). Just hope that this time it doesn't get cancelled as a result of COVID 19 pandemic.

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ireland-to-host-south-africa-for-odi-t20i-series-in-july-1251869

Quote

South Africa will travel to Ireland for three ODIs and three T20Is in July, as Cricket South Africa look to fill the men's team's winter with fixtures following the postponement of a three-Test home series against Australia. This tour is part of the 2018-2023 Future Tours Programme (FTP) with the ODIs forming part of the World Cup Super League. The matches will be played between July 11 and 25 in Malahide and Stormont.

The series against Zimbabwe is going to be interesting, as it is going to be between two sides of equal strength. Ireland will be having home advantage and therefore the odds from various sites needs to be considered before placing a bet. Even against South Africa, there is a chance that Ireland may win at least one out of the three matches.

I really can't believe that Pakistan let the match out of their control, after they had South Africa reeling at 106/8 with less than 5 overs remaining. Was it that hard to get Lutho Sipamla out? At least they could have made sure that Sipamla faces most of the deliveries. On the other hand, they allowed David Miller to take the total to 164/8. Really pathetic captaincy from Babar Azam.

And once again, Dwaine Pretorius is causing trouble for the Pakistani batsmen. He got the most important wicket. Pakistan need another 37 runs from 4 overs. They should reach there comfortably. But you never know, when it is Pakistan. Tabraiz Shamsi has finished his quota and therefore the remaining bowlers need to take care of the overs 17-20. If Pakistan loses this match, then it is going to be such a shame.

Pakistan started superbly in this final T20. Half of the South africa team in back in the pavilion with less than 50 runs on the board. The way they are plating look like they won't be able to make even 100 runs. Pakistani bowlers are unplayable at the moment.

Pakistanis were perhaps complacent after the victory in the test series. They needed the shock treatment, which they got during the second T20 match. Now they are back to their regular form. Anyway, David Miller and Dwaine Pretorius are batting right how. Although this is the last recognized batting pair, both the batsmen are regarded as T20 specialists. Pakistan needs to be careful here. One more wicket, and the match will be firmly within their grasp.

You can never be sure what would be the outcome of the match when Pakistan is playing. How come they let south Africa make 164 runs when they have bowled their half team under 50 Huh

I can't watch this match further as i am too stressed about it. Someone please tell me result once its over Angry

Why are you taking this match so seriously ? Have you placed bet on this match on pakistan ?
Winning and losing is a part of the game. You should take it easy and not take the stress which can damage your health.

Pakistan requires 108 in 77 balls and 9 wickets in hand. Would say that this match is balanced currently as if Pakistan loses couple of wickets then NRR might rise and SA chances increases, and if Pakistan do not lose wicket for another 30 odd runs then their chances could rise as in the end they could speed up their innings.

Anyone betting on SA today ?

After looking at the target i placed a small bet on South Africa to win the match and it looks like everything is going smoothly and they can win the match easily as they just need 58 runs from 62 balls and still have 8 wickets in hand and if they loose this match then i might completely stop wagging on T20 matches for a while as nothing is going as per my plans Grin

.

Its sad to see my national team lose the match but i am happy that you won your bet and now you will keep on betting on T20 matches. Wink

You can bet on Pakistan win on the last T20. I am sure Pakistan will win that match to win the series.

You cannot predict about twenty/20 matches because its really unpredictable any team can win on any stage its really amazing format so just wait and watch who is going to win next match today in start I was sure Pakistan will win this series but suddenly all things change very quickly and Proteas won this match now they will do their best for last match and series.

However, the scoreline is suggestive of a one sided contest and indeed an easy win for them. Now the T20I series tied at 1-1, with everything to play for the final match. Superb comeback by South Africa team at subcontinent, hope to see a cracking contest tonight.

First win for South Africa in this series and it came at a time when no one was expecting it. I was expecting a clean sweep by Pakistan after their 2-0 win of the test series and victory in the first T20I match. But all credit to the South African players for the fight back. If they could win the last T20 match, and thereby the series, it would be a real morale booster. I guess their next series is also against Pakistan (however, this time they will be the hosts and Pakistan will be the visiting side).
