Popular Post maniac Posted June 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2019 Title- Self explanatory BCCI might have issues and there might be corruption but trust me they know how to make a buck and will ensure the crowd gets its money’s worth. There is a science behind IPL scheduling as well. BCCI should just take over the useless ICC. Trust me even foreign boards will benefit if they play along. what a pathetic scheduling and organization. lets not forget 2007 was a disaster as well. 2011 was a blockbuster only due to BCCI organizing the event. 2015 was also fine.

Vilander Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 absolutely pathetic organization ICC. there needs to be some accountability, no external forces are needed ICC will single-handedly destroy the sport. Under_Score, maniac and Real McCoy 3 Link to comment
NameGoesHere Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 As Kalidasa said in his Kumarasambhava: Bum Bhosada. In what world, in which realm of a 'major global sport' (snigger) does a world championship get hampered by the MOTHA*IN weather? No even snooker and billiards. How many kids in the UK did we piss off today so that they'll never follow the sport? Only chewtiya desis (like ME) won't mind, that's why everywhere else the sport is declining.

Nikola Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 This was exciting match. I wouldn't have cared much if srilanka or afg match would have got washed out but this was first match with NZ in worldcup since 2003 and they are pretty good side as well. nitinbwj and Real McCoy 1 1 Link to comment
MechEng Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 England is the land of intellectuals. Here sports and their rules are invented. Just because they created so many sports, it doesn't mean it's an ideal place to play the sport. Restrict cricket to hot countries like subcontinent, Australia, South Africa, Windies and Southern United States is not a bad option either! nitinbwj 1 Link to comment
MechEng Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I think we must try next world cups in Windies and Southern US. It can be good! nitinbwj 1 Link to comment

Rain everyday for a week. Reserve days wouldn’t have helped. The issue is with the format of all teams playing each other. It’s actually turning out unfair to many teams... Group matches format is the way to go in countries like England. Anyway, I hope ICC decides to not host any more events in this wretched country... Link to comment
Lannister Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 They scheduled Ashes in peak summer time leaving WC to early summer. Just tells you where their priorities lie.

upriser7 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Boring World Cup....I found even last WC boring..2011 was really good though....I guess I am just tired of ODIs these days. I hardly watch any ODI bilateral series. IPL and T20 World Cup for me are the only 2 things I look forward to in cricket these days, especially IPL...IPL is so much better, entertaining and also better planned than WC. Link to comment

Anyway, I hope ICC decides to not host any more events in this wretched country... Format-wise, I think the supersix format was pretty good - you start with group matches, but the top 6 play each other eventually, and the best 4 make the semi-final. Could have made it a 12 team WC, with not too long a tournament. England is not a big country - how difficult would it be to have contingency plans with alternative venues on reserve days? Sure it would have taken a lot more work in terms of logistics and planning. But a couple of hours bus ride and you can find multiple stadiums that don't have rain - especially for the following day. It could have been done - they chose not to, to minimize costs. ECB have looked at this WC to maximize how much they can milk it. They made the ICC buy a building in London using the WC as excuse - the official reason was, its "too expensive" to rent offices for the ICC, for the WC duration - just buy one instead, and then the ECB gets it for free. Nice isn't it. And the whole cricket fan world hates on BCCI for being greedy - meanwhile its the ECB that's laughing all the way to the bank. Real McCoy 1 Link to comment

ODIs/T20s are seen as money making events otherwise cricket in it's pure form is an imperial sport. Not being bitter, but stating a fact. RAZPOR and New guy 2 Link to comment
