What's happening with the women's T20 tri series between India, SA & WI? I just finished the highlights of the match between India and WI. I was surprised DRS was not used in that game. Is there something that I don't know or in women cricket DRS has been not included or only for this tri series they are not using it. There were couple of questionable outs given by the umpires in favour of both teams. Overall India won the match but it was kind of boring to watch as the match was a one sided one. @JSRAW or @Sithara007 do you have any clue?
DRS is costly tech so not financially sustainable as these sorts of series hardly generate any revenue. Only Women's WC (Senior) uses DRS tech.
Lot of criticism of Lucknow's pitch. I didn't watch a single ball but the scoreboard tells a very clear story that it was an extremely tough pitch to bat on, which we don't see in T-20.
Having said that it's not a bad idea to have a such kind of pitch once in a while, despite T-20 being a batter's game. It gives us a reality check of where these modern batsmen stand in the pecking order.
Well.. I am confused. No one was complaining when 400+ totals were being made in the ODI matches. 90% of the matches that are being hosted by India are being played in pitches where the bowlers get zero assistance. Once in a while we get pitches like the one in Lucknow and suddenly all the hell breaks loose. Honestly, I am against both types of pitches. Cricket should be played in surfaces where both the bowlers and batsmen have adequate support. Else, the fans will get bored after some time and they will stop watching cricket. Apart from improving the personal stats of individual players, it is not going to benefit anyone.
Batriarchy at best and poor Ballsheviks are second class citizens in the cricketing world and among Ballsheviks, spinners are third class citizens.
If Batter scores run then it's all good. If Pitch is assisting seamers and pacers then wow it's the beauty of cricket but all hell breaks loose when the ball starts spinning.
