Anyone excited about the NZ tour test matches of India?
Since the 3 match T20I dominated completely by the Indian team even though the big names are missing still you expect the same thing to happen so this is some kind of revenge for what happened in T20 world cup super12.  Cheesy

Don't be so sure because Newzealand is a far better test playing team them a one-day or t20 team. Don't forget that Newzealand is the test cricket champion of the world. So I think India has their work cut out in the test matches.
After a clean sweep against New Zealand in the T20I series, India teams seem to be flying high. It will be interesting to see if the outcome will be the same as the T20I series or if the Black Caps will fight back tenaciously. Are India's T20s consistent enough to transfer to the Test games and really take revenge on the current ICC World Test Champion?

The ball tampering incident is the reason i am not expecting CA to appoint Steve Smith as the captain and as JSRAW said Pat Cummins could be the next captain.
Oh common.. that incident happens many years ago and Steve Smith was banished for one year when he was at his peak. Ball tampering is something that is very common in test cricket. Steve Smith was unlucky and that's the reason why he got caught. And I still don't understand the logic in banning three batsmen for ball tampering and giving clean chit to the bowlers. Anyway, bygones are bygones. Smith already received a disproportionate punishment for his misadventure. I don't want him to be targeted again.
You seems to talk as if the incident took place a decade ago, it was 3 years back and may be he have taken the blame for the team members doing the tampering, what ever it may be the situation he was stripped and suspended for over an hour and i still think those kind of punishment were excessive. Steve Smith is the one who could lead Australia but whether CA would appoint him is a different story.

I think that ICC should make some rules about themselves first because ball tampering shouldn't have this high of a  penalty. I honestly think that the maximum penalty should be 6 months for this. And also remember that Shakib Al Hasan ban of a year?

New Zealand had won the title of world test championship by beating India. And India has lost the last three test match against New Zealand. However, the situation is different at this moment and India plays better in their home condition. Betting odds is in favour of India. On the other hand, West Indies is struggling against Sri Lanka. Seems like they will go through follow on and loss this game.

Cricket Australia must appoint him because is the only best choise according to me and there is no reason not to select him because that time is gone now 3 years is decent amount of time in which 1 year of ban he has faced already so that must not affect them now.
It will be only for the betterment of the australian cricket as i dont see another player in aus team to captain is test matches

I am sure that we will not even hear news about it after two days. Whatever they do we wont hear it again, it just one of those things that come nd go in life of celebraties.What happens there we are not aware of whether the girl is saying truth or not but if it ia true then it is very sad thing. But we cant say anything about this , after two days no one will be talking about this
Does it really matter, yeah they purchased something which was costly and if the authorities does not want to check their statements on how they are able to purchase expensive items, which they can literally because they are getting a good pay scale. There is no point in having this the main headlines if they paid the tax they are asked to. The news always changes and that is the nature of news Tongue.

Ok, this could be one out of two things. The girl is trying to get some attention and it could be that the situation has happened because all of them wanted to. And another thing that could happen is that this has actually happened and the girl is actually telling the truth. And I think this matter will be solved by giving the girl some money and suppressing any news about this.

Pandya can easily get out from this scandal, already no further news are coming regarding this scandal. So We can assume that things are very much settled at Pandya side. But it wont be easy to suppress the victim in Australia since laws are very much strict and enforced in Australia thats why Tim has resigned from captaincy.

Yes exactly that incident is gone way back now, smith has got all the punishment and he came back with a bang with back to back centuries. He is the best batsman in test matches currently with an average of above 60 so there is no doubt that he is tbe best candidate to become thr captain of Australia in test matches.
Steve smith and david warner these are thr best option for the australian cricket board to appoint the next captain. Both of them have been involved in that ball tampering incident against south africa but both already got their punishment and one of them must be the captain. In test matches warner has not been in the best of form so I think steve smith is the only option

It's a big blow for Australia as Ashes is just ahead. But what I feel is that Aussies have so much depth in there team that replacement of captain or one or two key players won't effect there performance. I do agree that Smith is strongest canadate for captaincy. It will be interesting to place bet  on new Aussies test captain.

Why not Steve Smith? He is the best player in the squad right now. David Warner won't be a bad choice either. And in case they are aiming for the future, then they should go for Marnus Labuschangne. Now what I don't want is them to hand over the captaincy to someone who is not performing at the moment. That rules out players like Mitchell Starc.

Consider his career finish if CA is serious about these allegations because Paine can't cement his spot in the squad as wicketkeeper-batsman. He was there only because he was captain.
It is a fact that he wont be in the team solely as a wicketkeeper batsman as there are many players that have the potential to replace him.

A woman named Rehnuma Bhati has accused that Hardik along with his two friends raped her at the Trident hotel many years ago.

Quote
"She (rehnuma) wrote that she was forced to sleep with Munaf Patel in a continental hotel, and with Hardik Pandya in a hotel named Trident. According to the complaint, Pandya and his two friends committed all kinds of unnatural sexual activities with her including oral sex and anal sex, and all of them were drunk," the report stated.
Not sure what really happened. They might have slept together, but to come out with an accusation years later is a mystery.

When did this happened? I didn't hear anything about it although not shocking if its true. Pandya is controversial guy and if you believe his own words then he consider himself as big fuckboi.
On Paine i think it was CA, they ignored the allegation because they were already in deep mess due to Sand paper scandal.
The news was suppressed by most of the media outlets in India, although it went viral outside. Here are a few links:

Frankly what I feel is that girl is only trying to get attention and coverage in media.. Where she was since two years and suddenly this news came,..well this can be true but it is my feeling . no way near I know hardik pandya whether he can do this to any girl or not. But I know this matter will be closed within a matter of few days

Literally no surprise that it has a Mumbai connection and it suppressed by major media outlets. Delhi NCR, Bangalore and Mumbai has a history of rave parties and such meetups, tons of news doesn't comes into public cause of celebrity, political and business connections. I have a property in Hauz khas so i know thing or two what happen in those Hauz khas farmhouse all the time.

Big Boards suppresses such news to safe there reputations. BCCI n CA will both give cover to there players over current sexual allegations. Also both victims waited for considerable amount of time before coming out with allegations that's making things suspicious.

Bloody hell.... Sexting scandal, Paine is gone. Surprisingly it happened in 2017-18-ish but CA still handed him captaincy after Sand paper gate.
That's how things move around big players and celebrities. I m sure that coworker must be blackmailing Tim since that sexting, once he refused to get blackmailed she revealed this story. Recently H Pandya of India is also facing rape allegations. The one who accuses H Pandya of raping her waited till T20 WC, bitter but strange thing.

Well, we all know that these types of allegations and problems are nothing new for cricketers as many greats of the game (I won't say any names) have also had this type of problem. I think this really happens because of no sense of discipline.
