That is the goal. I have never been a test match fan myself, but I will be keeping a close eye on these matches going forward especially concerning my favorite teams(India, Aus etc). Just imagine the odds offered on the outrights for this tournament.

So i have a genuine doubt here, since World cup cricket is not shared even when there was a tie even in the super overs and we all know that in test matches there will be a draw as you cannot expect a result in a test match all the time, so if that happens will there be a super over to determine the test champion Cheesy

or whether they will share the test championship. There is even a possibility of a tie in test matches, i know these are very rare but you cannot rule out those situations.

^ Yeah, all formalities and meeting took place in India ,Calcutta last year. overall its very good move from ICC to revive Test Cricket among the test playing nations. having said that i do have some reservation regarding financial setup (digging more) and point-match system.

Financial setup? What do you mean? Are there some flaws regarding money management in this regard or is it something else? I did hear that ICC might be looking into the boundary count rule to decide winner later on thanks to public outcry.

I did not knew that there was a new development to revive test cricket and it is a great initiative by the ICC to have some interest in test matches but two years is a very long time and i am sure everyone wants to win the inaugural test championship as it will be a historic event and did they announce the prize to be distributed to become the test champions. It means that every test match counts and there wont be a dull match even if the series is decided from now on and that is interesting to hear.

Woah. 2 freaking years and the final is on June 2021. What in the world? This could actually makes test matches really exciting again in my opinion. Am still stunned to learn this. Whoever lifts the first test World trophy in 2021 will be really proud of themselves.

I don't get why they get no other place to host the Test WC except for England and now I also believe that it's in favor of England.

1. Only Final is schedule in England, Lords -still not final i guess- ( plus home matches for England)
2. Its not in favor of any team - Every team will play same amount of series " 3-3 series away from home and at home"

Quote

Also, the format is so confusing. First 5 matches of Aus and Eng on 1st August, then 2 matches of other team and here India and Pakistan are not playing against each other so no cricket tension for both.

3. Total 9 teams are participating in it and current schedule is based on existing bilateral structure where any nation can opt for 6 different opponents. its for every team and India don't want to play against Pakistan in any bilateral series due to political crisis between both countries.

4. 5 match and 2 match scenario is based on Financial terms In my point of view ( Big 3 team Aus, Ind,Eng) playing 5-4 matches against each others because it generate more revenue in comparison of Windies- Pak-SL-Ban-NZ or in some extent SA. ( i don't mind this much because ICC need fuel to run all system otherwise it will crumble)

Quote

But still how are they going to decide the winner by having irregular number of matches between 2 teams?

I have some doubt on point table but as far as i understand more matches doesn't mean that you are getting more points.

Pathetic performance by Ireland. It was the worst performance by any team in a test match. The ICC should seriously consider revoking their test status and reconsider the decision only when they are 100% sure of their competitiveness. Their appalling performance brought disgrace to all the emerging teams and now test nations would be reluctant to stage any matches against these lesser teams.

Quote from: Vishnu.Reang on July 27, 2019, 01:12:03 PM

Anyone agree with me that the ICC should revoke the test status of Ireland? Their performance was really horrible and I have a feeling that test matches should be limited to those teams with international standard. Ireland comes nowhere close. Afghanistan is doing well, so I would suggest the ICC to revoke the test status of Zimbabwe and Ireland, to make it a ten team affair.

No, not me Cheesy

Give them some time, they are just couple of matches old. India, South Africa, New Zealand took more than one decade to register their first win so i am sure new test playing nations will come along soon.

And Worst performance record belongs to Kiwis team. 26 runs all out.

Quote from: Vishnu.Reang on July 26, 2019, 04:20:33 AM

BTW, someone had claimed that 9 out of the 11 members of the Irish squad were born in England. This is not true. Check this:

i didn't looked into it, but i remember reading this somewhere. can't find the source, guess i am victim of fake or BS news

Ireland did not defeated England but they were close to give a big upset.

That is exactly what I was trying to say. They got close, but England easily defeated them at the end of the day. This is why it is worth betting on certain teams at short odds now and then. I know many people who won reasonable profits in this manner.

Quote from: UmerIdrees on July 28, 2019, 06:27:55 AM

I know a lot of people who were gambling in the favor of England couldn't sleep properly when they saw England were all out on 85. However England managed to win in the end and thus a lot of gamblers money were saved.

Any gamble carries an amount of risk with it. That is the reality. However, I like betting on long odds primarily and short odds secondarily especially with accumulators.

You are all wrong there :-P
Ireland with Afghanistan got their Test status on 22 June 2017. Read this news: https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/19705648/afghanistan-ireland-get-test-status
The last test against England was their 3rd test if I am not wrong. First one was against Pakistan (lost by 5 wickets), 2nd one was against Afghanistan (lost by 7 wickets) and the latest one was against England. All three were internationally recorded. Not warm up or that kind.

ICC does have a strict policy to play against every test playing nations in a particular designated period and i was not aware of their test status and they have not played much test matches either in the the past two years after getting the test status against any other nation, so i am not sure what is the point in granting them a test status if none of the other test playing nations are not willing to play a series with these two nations.

This is not true as in such matches you get very low odds for the strong team. Also it is risky because in case of upset you will lose all your money and in case of win, the winning percentage is not good at all.

Some profit is better than nothing at all and upsets in such matches rarely happen. For example, did Ireland defeat England recently? I know that all it takes is 1 big loss to wash away the profits, but many people still enjoy betting at low odds.

This is also why many people like betting over 0.5 and under 6.5 or 7.5 in a soccer match.

You mean to say that ICC should the schedule tournaments for the teams like Ireland and Zimbabwe to play 5 or more tests per year with the main teams like Australia, India , Pakistan etc. This will be extremely infeasible as they will not be able to generate any revenue from them. Also from the viewers point of view no one will like to watch these one sided test matches.

This is true, but the people betting on heavy favorites in this case will earn a lot through these games. However, I don't really see the entertainment value in such games which is why I agree with you here.

Watching big teams play tests is itself boring, but watching small teams like Ireland play in tests is even more horrible in this regard. I literally just watched the highlights on youtube thanks to the ICC channel.

Zimbabwe is already suspended by ICC and they cannot participate in any ICC events in the future and the funds has already ended because of the political intervention in cricket and it all happened recently, Ireland does not have a test status, England played a one off test match as a warm up match before the Ashes and other than that i do not think they have a status till now. Afghanistan is doing well in ODI but test match cricket is a different ball game all together.

Countries like Ireland, Zimbabwe can't olay much test cricket, not even ODI. High rank team has more matches despite low teams. This is one of the reason, a low team can't gain enough experience. I don't think it will be easy for them to fight against a bigger team who play 5-6 times or more than lower. They have better chance to.win against a lower team.

They can invite top ranked team, although most team will not play. I guess that's not good of ICC, they must allow each teams to play at least 5-10 tests in a year, it would help them improve.

While you are correct that from those matches, ICC will not be able to generate revenue, in my opinion, ICC must have allow kind of subsidies for the globalization of cricket. In that case, low performed team would have better performance.

Ireland still is new in terms of test cricket and if their batting is miserable, their bowling was quite good and hence we were even able to see the end of the test and it did not end in as an NA. Many teams haven't been able to perform in test cricket and were able to win their first match after 20-25 years with things being changed recently. It's not fair to judge them so soon.

I am not sure about Zimbabwe, haven't seen their test match in the last few years but I see nothing wrong with Ireland. This was their 2nd test if I am not wrong and they performed very well especially their bowling department.

The batting department did not perform in both innings especially in the 2nd innings it was a complete disaster but it was the same for England too. The exception was their 1st innings. Like Ireland's 2nd innings their 1st innings was disaster. Both teams bowling department was more then excellent.
