World test championship is messed up completely. Ideally ICC should move dates of WTC final to 2022 as few teams already cancelled their tours and they are not sure - how to distribute match points- yet.

ICC to distribute the points..... Oh no...Not again  Roll Eyes

India and Australia are clearly the top two teams in the World Test Championship and no other team can match them.
This is not right England can also do some good in this season if they able to hold series and New Zealand is also in good position still many things to come for this Test Championship and they will no distribute points as they can go 2022 for complete this all.

This needs to be looked and addressed as well. Also, they have played quite a few games and due to which they are on top as well. So I think whenever the ICC has to decide the final etc they need to ensure that each team has exactly played same number of matches and then only the comparison is done else one country plays  say 10 and other 15 so it would not be correct as per me. May be ICC needs to get it extended which looks a better option now.

Anyway, just checking here to see how are we all doing. I hope we all are safe.
Safe here. Having a blast watching Netflix shows these days. Currently watching Brooklyn Nine Nine and am loving it.


Overcoming from pandemic or financial crisis? Yeah tough af but it presents opportunity too, We as a Humans works efficiently when such crisis knocks our door. So i am very optimistic about post COVID-19 world or any sport...
Very true. We will bounce back from this crisis for sure, but I think it will take 2-4 years to properly bounce back. The world would be in a much better state if the Chinese government got the word out quicker.

Its not tough to reschedule all Test Series but ICC need some back bone , just postpone the WTC Final which is schedule in 2021, move it to 2022 and all cricket playing nation already have mutual commitment for their bilateral series, so no major harm done imo.
But it's assumable that it's not going to be that easy. You will need the crickets mentally fit too. After all these there will be economic crisis in everywhere and crickets are no exception too.

Postponing the final? its easy

This series is going to be the most affected series. I was supposed to be for long run and this pandemic just made it worse even after we recover the current situation. ICC will have a very hard time to reschedule all the series.

Anyway, just checking here to see how are we all doing. I hope we all are safe.

Yeah, England and NewZealand does have good positions as they are left with some easy series. It would be disaster for Test cricket if ICC is in mood for any misadventure, there are already many flows in WTC points and ICC wouldn't want to mess things up more.

It appears Australia doing pretty well, infection rate is less than 1% now and PM Morrison already announced that -Its Road to recovery-. One of the populace state New South Wales already considering about reopening the schools from the next month.
I agree that they are actually doing well with just over 6.5K cases, but these are simply temporary happy states. Corona can strike back at any time and a vaccine is the only permanent solution.

For example, look at China. They are once again in trouble thanks to asymptomatic cases and all their lies and manipulation of WHO messed them up.

Fair point, guess will find out soon as they already planning partial relaxation in lockdown.

I saw on the Australian news the other night that the T20 world cup must go ahead some how as there is a lot of money at stake with broadcast rights etc... so I'm thinking that Australia will take the risk with this and go ahead with the T20 world cup but don't know if it will be played in October.  
That would be really dumb. Everyone would criticize them for focusing on money rather than saving human lives. Personally, I would not watch any of those matches.

October is so far now and we can expect that within October, pandemic will not be last anymore. It is expected that the virus will not be so sharp anymore.
Lol. Corona will only cease to be a threat when everyone are vaccinated which will probably take another year. 2020 and 2021 will be marked by Corona and things will probably get back to normal in 2022.

ICC can't afford and wait for 2022 to resume its matches. No one can survive two years without doing anything. Infact they are already worried about the situation  and thinking to find a way out of it as soon as possible.

Main area of concerns discussed [Source: (https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/29083533/cricketing-heads-meet-plot-way-crisis)]
1- Men T20 World Cup
2- ODI Super League
3- World Test Championship

ICC can control these Test format finance by forming 2 groups.. include top 6 teams in 1st group and 2nd group for next 6 teams. it can solve many problems in test cricket (Financing, Competitiveness). Swap team every year--- 6th ranking team from 1st group --- top ranking team from 2nd group, based on performance.
About the groups in Test teams its not easy as its very long talk If I am right few years back we already have like this but no result as most of members was not agree about this all even its good idea and can solve many issues and can bring some good and quality cricket but still need some good and long talk.

Agree, its long discussion, ICC and cricket boards need some backbone to implement such moves.
Sorry bhai, but i can,t recall any such event in the Test cricket. if possible plz provide source.

Got blindsided by the news article (shared by me). Now that you mentioned about their status, I remember they did visit Bangladesh recently for test/ limited overs series.

OK.. Now these are the questions I have, regarding the status of Zimbabwe:

1. Should test status be awarded forever, permanently? Should Zimbabwe continue to hold test status, even if they get beaten by teams such as Singapore and Namibia?

2. Won't it be better to have a limited promotion/relegation system for test status?

 

As far as Test status is concern, Every team earned their status by proving their worth, so its bit harsh punishment imo (Suspension or ban on cricket board is another discussion). Every team goes through some tough phase, some come back strong but some struggles similar to Zimbabwe. Removing test status from any country is not right approach as time can change drastically for any test playing nation. Even Big 3 - India -England-Australia.

3. Should the ICC allow a corrupt bunch of criminals to steal around $12 million every year?

4. Should Zimbabwe be given $12 million every year, when promising teams such as Afghanistan and Ireland receive only a fraction of that amount?
If corruption continues then ICC might slap permanent ban for good. I am in favor of Afghanistan, Ireland and Nepal cricket board, no matter what.

About the groups in Test teams its not easy as its very long talk If I am right few years back we already have like this but no result as most of members was not agree about this all even its good idea and can solve many issues and can bring some good and quality cricket but still need some good and long talk.
