2019 Cricket

Got to be the future.... I grew up in an era where Sunday was a rest day in Test Matches! Good opportunity for folk to go after work/school. And that timing applies to all forms of the game.

We go to the Rose Bowl after work for a team outing, even folk who are not cricket fans...make a night of it.

Can't see it getting to short a format, or it isnt worth the travel time!

Ah, England collapse. I’ve missed you my old friend.

Don't worry, he is never too far away.

I love England playing New Zealand, they play the game in the right way. Somehow, as with tours to Australia, I just can't get into it though. The time zones kill it and so I only get to see action after the event. It is almost as though they don't happen.

Just seen a video from Aus game last night.

In 2 sessions, Pakistan bowled 23 no balls! 1 of them was called a no ball on the field, 1 of them was called a no ball on review after it got a wicket and 21 werent called at all!!!! Long long over due that the front foot no ball is taken away from the onfield umpire and done by the third umpire, on every single delivery

gimmick for me, but then im a purist

give it 10 years and well be watching 5 overs a side and be done inside an hour, heck lets just go straight to the super over lol, the irreversible dumbing down of a great sport gone too far sadly and only going to continue

and the more they dumb it down the more it gets corrupted, i see they abandoned a T10 (yup that format already exists) because they couldnt print out the over by over DLS targets in a rain affected match, and people say golf shoots itself in the foot.............

Tendulkar ha suggested a rewamp of a 50 over ODI format by saying it could be split into 2 innings of 25 overs each. I can see the logic of it and how it makes it more balanced. Now when he says that, BCCI will want to try it and if BCCI tries it, the ICC wont be far behind.

Tuned into watch India v Bangladesh first D/N match.. looks like Bangladesh played a T20.. 106 all out!!! I dont know if it is a visibility thing or pitch/pace. I like the concept of a D/N match. But when i think about it, i dont want to watch a test match after a day's work and a beer. I would rather watch a crash-bang-wallopp T20 instead of a D/N Test match...

... any views on D/N matches? future or gimmick?

Day/Night not a problem, I went to the Test v W Indies at Edgbaston.

Only problem is evening temperatures in England.

However, I certainly don't want to see anymore emphasis on "pub cricket " whether that is T20 or The Hundred (bloody abomination)!

Comedy. This is should be straight and quick to implement.

Yeah pretty sure Stokes has a few credits in the bank to be too critical lol

Leach up to 10 in the order and only a matter of time before hes above Archer too surely, yet again he showed batting really isnt that hard if you apply yourself

personally i would put Leach ahead of Archer.... and maybe Root

It appears that the front foot rule is only applied these days if an appeal is reviewed.

Surely with modern technology it should be possible for these to be called pretty well instantly by the third umpire.

someone in the pakistan team is quids in then

But seriously,something needs done about the NB problem

Just watching the Ind v Bangladesh D/N match. Bangladesh is p*ss poor, but what a masterclass from Kohli.. As someone who considers Sachin's straight drive as the most textbook shot, I must say superbly impressed by Kholi's cover drive. The timing was phenomenal... Brilliant to watch. The head position is copybook.

... and he followed due process and produced another 50. just another day in the office

 

[fundy]

why would you not bowl Archer first up today????

 

[fundy]

Not sure i understand the approach to that session from england at all, not one little bit

 

[fundy]

Rush through 10 overs of spin so that the new ball is due a couple of overs before lunch and then dont bother to take it lol, hard to understand the plan here apart from the skipper fancies a few overs

lol, am a Ramps fan but having been a massive failure as a batting coach for several years hes pretty quick to be critical of the current set up on the radio and in print. what do they say about jobs for the boys.............

Cost me a fortune in winning bets. Those were on call and the blind umps missed the lot.......

nz still happy to take time out of the game, really should be pushing on a bit now to try and give themselves a decent chance of victory, seems theyre happy to wait and hope england self combust (you can see why lol)

Agree .. was watching India v Bang.. with the last wicket batting and a lead of 250, Kohli declares and gets Bang to bat the last hour.. result, they run thru the top order in the next hour with the ball swinging around .. got to push the advantage when you have it
