I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
I was really surprised to see the result of India Women's team vs South Africa Women's first test match today. India women team has collected such a big score on the first day they are really batting amazing, in this test match women team is playing much better than men team. India Women's batsman Shafali Verma batted brilliantly in today's match, and her collection of 205 runs off 197 balls made it very interesting.
Moreover, Smriti Mandhana was in excellent batting form with 149 runs off 161 balls, everyone was impressed by the batting performance of these two. India women's team scored 525 runs today in the first day's test match with the loss of 4 wickets, but the team has the potential to make a bigger score.

The Indian Women's team had some fun today.

-Highest opening partnership in Women's tests.
-Second highest runs partnership for any wicket in Women's tests.
-Most runs(525) scored on a single day in the Women's tests.
-Fastest double ton for Shafali in Women's tests.
-Shaifali smashed 8 sixes today, no other women cricketer managed to cross even 5 sixes in their entire test career.

After a long time an official test match is coming between India Women vs South Africa Women .
They have played the ODI series recently and India Women team won the series with 3-0. But I appreciate the South Africa Women team performance too. Well both teams are good. So we can't say anything at this time. The match will start on 28 June. I hope both will play good. But here still India women team is looking much stronger. But there is a big difference between ODI format and Test match format so we can't say anything. May be South Africa Women team will perform well and try to win this match. So let's wait for the 28 and Match start. Smiley
Yes, 1 st day was completed today and India-W team won the toss and they got a chance to take first bat or bowl and India-W team choose bat first. This game was playong on MA Chidambaram Stadium. South Africa-W team already lost one series in past and their effort in this series was very poor and now again their team effort was not good at this time in bowling lineup. In 1 st day, India-W team grabbed total 525 runs in 98 overs by losing 4 wickets. S Verma completed double brilliant century and total made 205 runs in 197 balls and she hitted 23 4s and eight 6s. Her batting inning strugge was super brilliant and one other batsman also played very well and she scored 149 runs in 161 balls nad she hitted one 6s and 27 4s. Both these batsman was now dismissed from pitch. H.Kaur and R.Ghosh both are still playing their lineup with good start and both are very close to their half century and I see the effort of this player Kaur in past games, she also very good player and hope we see another century of this player if their team continues play their inning.

Right now, we are having wTest no 149 at the Chepauk, Chennai between home team India w vs South Africa w with after winning toss Indian w decided to bat first and this was one of the best decision by Indian team with after winning toss they have opening partnership of 292 as both openers done impressive work and having centuries In front of their names Shafali Verma hits double ton 205 and Smriti Mandhana having 149 as things are going most chances we will have 550 before end of the first day play.

Indian team is doing amazing job in this format as they beat Australia at home and now having South Africa with amazing batting they can win this match as well by big margin with we still have nearly 15 overs remaining in first day's play.

Indian Women's team clearly in control of the game at the end of Day 1. Only 4 wickets have gone down on day 1 while the Indian batting lineup scored 525 runs. South Africa bowlers struggled to get wickets on day 1 and now it will be a big ask for their batting lineup to level the Indian team's first inning score. Indian team might declare their innings tomorrow after scoring 600 runs. Before this test, Indian women team has whitewashed South African women in ODI series of three matches.

Indian women team decided to bowl first in the only test against South Africa. The openers are unbeaten at lunch and made 130 run without losing any wickets. Both Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana are playing in their Sixty’s and hopefully one of them will make a hundred too, if not both.


The interesting thing about South Africa women team is that they have tried 6 bowlers in the 28 overs being bowled so far but still none of them is able to make a break through. By the way, it will be interesting to see how the Indian women bowlers bowl on this red soil pitch. They have included three spinners in their team named Sneh Rana , Deepti Sharma, and Rajeshwari Gayakwad. The pitch does not show any support for the fast bowlers too. Maybe it will change on the 4th and 5th day of this test match.

Test match between India Women and South Africa Women is coming up and it is going to be exciting. India women team won ODI series with 3-0 but South Africa Women team played well too. India women seems stronger but South Africa Women could surprise us. And you are right Test match is different from ODI format so we can not predict what will happen. Both teams might face challenges and it will be interesting to see how they play on June 28. I wish both teams good luck it's going to be great match. But still I think India women team is looking more stronger as compare to South Africa Women team.

Test Cricket is a slow-motion cricket. It's not popular with all types of cricket lovers. Although it's a game where a player proves themself by playing long in the field. Just it one site goodness, but test cricket isn't a game of enjoyment. If test cricket is loved by all cricket lovers then then ODI match and T20 matches will not be invented.

I think very soon, the Cricket Council invented T10 game (Top 10). I hope this game will be more popular among all classes of people. This will be a fighting game called... "Boom" "Boom" "T10"

Nowadays world has become fast moving. People doesn't have time to spend 8 hours a day continuously for 5 days, and that too for a match where there is guarantee that there will be a definite outcome. Still there are a lot of middle aged and elderly people who continue to follow test cricket. But from what I have seen among my friend circle and among my relatives, hardly anyone in the younger age groups follow longer versions of cricket. Forget about test cricket, even ODI cricket is not popular among them.

Test cricket is the real cricket for the players. In test cricket practice they judge a player's performance. Test match is basically a practice game. According to me, there are very few people who watch test match.

Test cricket not enjoyable cricket and nobody enjoy test cricket. We only see the players who are playing test cricket and test cricket changed his mindset.

I saw many big players who played test matches and after the test series,they could not perform well in ODI and T20 formats . ODI and T20 formats are totally different from Test cricket but many cricket boards select the same players for ODI, T20 and Test formats.

 I saw Warner ,I know he is a big players but after playing the  test series,he became tuk player and he dotted many balls in the ODI cricket. That was time but he changed his attitude by controling his mind but that is very tough for the players.Test cricket should be remove and that place,there should be more T20 World Cups and then there will be more enjoyment and there will be more opportunities for businessman to do the business.
You need to recheck your comments as few days back I have your post which was in favor of test cricket, and now you are going against this so stop this all if you have no idea about cricket because it's all spamming test is never been bored cricket still good and enjoyable but in last few years we are having change of priorities which are bringing some problems but still five or six teams are doing good for the game, and we will have them for the long time which is good for this format.
Even most of the countries are having trouble due to structure and finances but still this can exist for the long time because we are having strong base in top three which are doing good and having strong teams.

You might be wrong first got the most fame in test cricket and was very popular. From the history it is known that Test playing was recognized since 1877. First there was Test format then ODI format and T20 format. When the ODI format was introduced in cricket, the popularity of the Test format decreased slightly as ODIs took less time than Tests. Again when T20 format was introduced in cricket, it became more popular than ODI. Nowadays we see T-Ten being launched again in various leagues which are shorter and more popular.

Test players are different in every country and players who play regular Test matches do not do well in ODI and T20 format. You said test cricket should be done away with, maybe test cricket will be there as long as ICC is there, currently test championships are organized to popularize test cricket. The competition starts with Test matches between different countries to play in this Test Championship.

Test matches are usually longer games, testing the players through playing practice. Basically any player is patient and experienced, only those who are more patient can perform at their peak for longer periods of time. Only Test matches are scheduled to test the experience of the players.

I don't think so and I think these formats will continue in the future . You are only sharing the point of view on the basis of money. Yes, in this this perspective you are right because most leagues like IPL ,PSL ,BBL are earning good from these leagues. But ODI and test matches are burden on country economy. That should be change but no team will play T20 matches whole the year. So they will take break and then they will change format. In this way ,they can be relax .

ICC World Cup are not earning good but most of the premier leagues especially IPL is best for earning good. Most International players play cricket in IPL as comparison to play for team because IPL pays more money than International matches.
Now it's all matter of time with most chances we will have cricket like soccer most of the countries will love to have their own leagues, and they will go for the friendlies or having events with 2 or 3 countries in a year which will help them for having good practice for their national teams, and then we will have World Cup after 3 or 4 years because now most of the peoples are having no time to watch test match or ODI just Twenty/20 can give them good entertainment in 3 to 4 hours which are enough for them.

ODI and test needs some changes, but currently we are having no positive changes which are surely going to have serious trouble for these formats even now ICC is also looking for avoiding them because they understand all countries are not ready for these.
Yes, you are right. T20 cricket is advanced cricket and people enjoy T20 format. Test cricket is very very boring cricket. Most of the audience like hard hitters and we see hard hitters in only T20 format. ICC should take step for that because test cricket is time wasting and waste of money. Many countries are investing on test format but test cricket did no gave anything to them . But many investors got multiple times returns on T20 cricket team investments and they earned  a lot of money from that.ODI cricket is less boring as comparison to T20 cricket but ICC should evolve the rules and it should make matches of 30 overs . In this way ,we will get great competition.

Test cricket is real cricket. By test cricket performance,a player can be judge because test match is a game of patience and ICC want good players in all formats. I know ,there are very less people who see test matches but test cricket has great importance because by test cricket,a player stamina could be judge. T20 format is  short format, T20 match is game of 3 hours and players are successful which are hard hitters but I test cricket your class matters a lot . ICC should give all types of matches to all team , West Indian last series was outclass and ICC should give them test matches against Australia and India.
Test cricket is real cricket just on papers with now we are having revolutionary changes Franchise Leagues are in complete control and things are going to be more improved in coming years with just 3 or 4 countries will be available for this real cricket and all others will be enjoyed these leagues because boards are also having good profit from them, and it's also helpful for the associate boards which are entering and trying to take their own share from this all.

Due to poor management of ICC now we are already near to lost two formats like Test and ODI with most chances 2031 ODI world cup could be last for this format, and then we will have all control by this T20 with all countries will be tried to have their own leagues which will give them good revenue and good entertaining game which is the most important part of this all.

PS: Unpopular opinion, not in favor of T-20 WC every 2 years and ICC tournament every year.

LOL.. your opinion is indeed unpopular. Are you suggesting to replace ICC tournaments with useless bilaterals? Because that is the only alternative. ICC needs a major tournament every year, because that's how they get the funds. On top of that, this was bargained with the BCCI. The former got a major tournament every year, in return for providing a 3-month window every year for the IPL. If there are no such tournaments, then the weaker full member nations as well as the associates will go bankrupt.
Yeah, i am aware of the financial dynamics and back door deals. My overall point is that since 2021, we have 4 WCs ( 3 T-20 WCs and 1 ODI WC), then add 2 WTC finals as well. That's 6 ICC finals in just 4 years.

Can understand WTC because it's 2 year cycle and they added the final just to keep things interesting in the test cricket. ODI WC comes every 4 years, which is good but the T-20 WC is becoming a joke IMO and to make things worse they are also squeezing CT, atm it's ODI format but you never know if they turn this into another T-20 mini WC.
