bhakum20 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) I didn’t watch a single ball of the 1st ODI, and most likely won’t watch any of the 6, wait is it really 6 SIX ??!!, games. At least tri-series have some unpredictability and excitement. Not sure why we don’t see these often Flat pitches have made it even worse and just downright awful to watch, there is absolutely no contest between bat and ball, who the hell enjoys this crap? Does anybody give a damn about these meaningless games??!! An additional test alone would have been infinitely better than this whole crap ODI series Edited February 2, 2018 by bhakum20 Mosher 1 Link to comment
maniac Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 6 is an odd figure what is the point if it ends in 3-3...,I personally think this is an exciting contest between 2 evenly matches teams. Link to comment

SIX is absolutely terrible, I wanna club the guy who came up with this outrageous ‘idea’! 3 would have been just about right. Even 5 games would be too boring Laaloo 1 Link to comment
speedheat Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Any tour should have 3 test matches 3 Odis and 2 t20s that's it, short and sweet, 6 Odis on flat tracks are just too much to digest, have already skipped the first one and wll be skipping the rest. Link to comment

Temujin Khaghan Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) my priorities for watching Indian cricket... 1. ICC WC 2. ICC T20 WC 3. Bilateral game any (test, ODI, t20) vs Pakistan 4. Test series in england 5. Test series in australia 6. Test series in south africa 7. CT 8. IPL playoffs, semis and finals 9. Test series in nz 10. Home test series vs australia, england, southafrica 11. Bilateral ODI, t20 vs australia, england , southafrica 12. random IPL so this current series is 11th on my priority :/ Iam not interested in watching any bilateral ODI, T20 or Test game vs WI, SRL, Bang Edited February 2, 2018 by Temujin Khaghan SG1994, Sgattick10 and rageaddict 1 1 1 Link to comment

I disagree 5 test matches will be far too many, it will kill the interest especially if host prepare flat tracks, it will be hazardous to pacers, 3 tests are the best, agree with your point on 3 practice matches.

putrevus Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I would have preferred one more test match and 3 odis instead of six. Mosher 1 Link to comment

Cricketics Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I don't mind big ODI series like a 5 game series for now. Let's win this series in South Africa and in places like Australia or England, and then we can think about shortening the tour. I want our team to dominate in ODI'S in overseas. We haven't won a bilateral ODI series in a while most of these countries. Also another reason why we need more ODI's is because its the best time to rotate players, especially bowlers and given them a chance. In 3 game series, its going to be really hard. All this sweet talk about short tours, its going to be really tough to give chances to new players even more. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 5 test matches 3 odis 1 t20 perfect SG1994 1 Link to comment
ThePhenomenal1 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 An odi series in SA is something India is yet to win. Its a big series and an indicator of how good india is overseas. If they make history the SA tour will become a much more positive result inspite of the test series loss. Link to comment
LordPrabhzy Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 why do we even need Bilateral T20s ffs! Domestic T20 leagues are enough basis to pick players for T20 WCs Meaningless matches Link to comment
