My advise: Give them a shot(Especially if you have a 4K Smart TV)!
Interesting and maybe I will give a shot but not now.

I think this is time for me to do some social works, spend money on the people who are in need. I have a project idea and I hope everyone will like it or at least help me to build a solid idea. Here is the link: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/project-covid-19-an-approach-to-support-the-bitcoin-community-5243099

And about cricket, there are really not much to talk about it unless we have any major change in the social life. It's hard to live life without cricket but this is the reality now.

It's a good idea, but at the same time I am a bit skeptical about it. Royse and others are very kind and want to help those in need. But from what I have seen here for the past many years, there are a lot of guys who will exploit kindness from others to get themselves rich. And in an anonymous space such as this forum, it is very difficult to really verify whether the aid is reaching those in need or not.

Excellent initiative Royse. Personally, I am saving money myself and trying not to spend on things which are not essential currently which is why I won't be able to contribute to your cause, but I absolutely loved your idea. All the best!

And about cricket, there are really not much to talk about it unless we have any major change in the social life. It's hard to live life without cricket but this is the reality now.
True. I just watch highlights of some awesome Cricket matches now and then on YouTube etc for entertainment these days.

I never subscribed to Netflix, what's so special about it. To me those free online movies site, pirate bay type torrent sites and youTube is more than enough :-P
By the way, good to know you are safe and sound.
I used to think that way too a long time ago. Torrent sites, Streaming sites etc were more than enough, but I got hooked on to Netflix ever since I began using it. Many of their originals are amazing and the ability to watch them in 4K without downloading them is so satisfying.

Prime is another amazing service for movies in my opinion. Disney+ is epic too. Shows like Mandalorian etc are awesome. My advise: Give them a shot(Especially if you have a 4K Smart TV)!

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. 
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. However, if it does not start at times, ICC and others will have significant loss.

Maybe in other parts of the world but we could see an increase in Australia as our winter starts in June so we could see a spike in corona virus cases due to it being winter and as we know the flu can spread fast in winter which could then turn into corona virus. This is what our governments are worried about as we are heading into a danger period for Australia. So if there is an increase in cases then we could see the T20 world cup be pushed back a few months, hopefully not but we just never know.

@vella85 it seems that BCCI has played a trump card, and has managed to convince ICC and other board members to postpone T20 World Cup (not officially declared though) to 2021 as that’ll allow them to stage IPL in the window set for the T20 World Cup. Furthermore it seems that Australian and New Zealand’s governments have joined hands to eliminate the virus, and so far they’re doing pretty good work and I sincerely hope their methods continue to work and this virus is eliminated completely from both the countries.

Yeah ICC and all members had a meeting today and they are looking at 3 possible scenerio..

1. Follow same schedule for t-20 world cup.
2. If not then next window is Feb - March 2021 ( in that case ipl will take Oct 2020 slot) -- which you mentioned-
3. Last option reschedule WC in 2022.
3rd option seems like the best one in my opinion. As I mentioned earlier, 2020 and 2021 are marked by COVID which is why 2022 seems like the ideal time to host the tournament with a crowd watching which is mutually beneficial for everyone.

All sporting event schedules have been disrupted in a major way which is why ICC needs to adapt appropriately to the situation (Doubtful).

Only option No. 3 looks feasible at the moment.
Hopefully most of ICC members will agree on Option 3

I hate to say but It seems to me that every cricket board favoring 2nd option as it fulfills big players's interest; such as ICC, CA and BCCI (If IPL happens, if not then they are loser too). Rest of the cricket boards doesn't have much choice because if by any chance T-20 world cup gets cancelled then small boards can face some serious financial challenges, in one word Bankruptcy...

Let's wait and watch if COVID-19 ruins their plans or not.

Cricket is a business too, some boards are very rich but there are some very poor cricket boards which will go bankrupt if there is no major tournaments for years so they will be expecting the sooner option other than favouring IPL slots.

The T20 world cup occurs every two years so if it is reschedule in 2022, then this would mean that the 2020 T20 WC is cancelled.
Only option No. 3 looks feasible at the moment. There is no way that the WC can take place this year and since IPL won't be played this year, the next year IPL cannot be disturbed too.
Hopefully most of ICC members will agree on Option 3 and we will have no entertaining cricket of countries for some long time as situation is still no sure about any thing in near future.

^^ All safe n sound, so far...

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.

There has been no any such commitments for the Pakistan's tour of Netherlands postponed indefinitely.  The PCB chairman is very sad on the permanent postponed of the tournament which was to be played in July. But nothing can be done because of the global Pandemic.

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.
Right now ICC is not working on equal basis its working on political basis so many problems and complications appearing they need to think about few things which need some good intention from them then hopefully this test championship could be more interesting and we have some better and healthy cricket but first they need to think what they want and how to manage this all.

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

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.

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
