Why not MCG? Or Wanderers? Or *king Dubai. Anywhere on earth where there isn't a likelihood of 60% rain and washouts. 

 

BCCI's so called power is useless if they allow these things to happen.

Why ????

 

This is giving undue advantage to the England test team,  should they make it to the final.

 

And this is giving undue importance to England the nation. 

 

Plus there is the constant threat of rain.

 

Mumbai / Kolkata and MCG should have got them. All these grounds have got sporting pitches and great stadiums. 

 

Very poor decision.

Not just Eng but SA/NZ & Oz as well - the first final was obviously a train wreck because of how unfavorable it was to one team, not to mention the extra prep NZ got by having a series before us! Why the * are the c***** at BCCI not doing something about it? Are they so *ing retarded that getting India some trophies isn't even on the radar 

 

Why can't WI, SL or even India host this?

Leave England aside they won't play the final in a long time anyway but to sides like Australia, South Africa and New Zealand? It's like India getting to play in Galle or Mirpur. 

 

And i don't know what the idiots at the BCCI are doing here. England have already hosted 3 out of the last 4 odi tournaments and now will be hosting 3 consecutive test finals while the fatheads at our board think of ways to fit in 150 more useless IPL games in the 3 month window.

By now it must have been pretty clear to everyone that India winning trophies is far far down the list of things BCCI prioritize right now. 

[HamHindustani]

It's fair barring Australia. Within top 3, England and India are the top 2 and India does not allow some countries to play , so it had to go to England

Yes I know that but the c**** will also know IPL isn't a self sustaining franchise without international glory! If we hadn't won the first WT20 there would be no IPL - if the fat *s think they can get away fooling people for 2 decades then I don't believe it will work!

Final will happens in June/July so they had to go with England.  Other option at that time of the year is Galle/Barbados/Jamaica. 

Would like the final to be in WI with their spicy tracks & duke balls.

[Serpico]

Tbh I like it. The coverage in England looks so much better than other countries and crowds are usually full for big matches. Rain is the only problem 

[Vilander]

Problem with India 

 

1, heat

2, bad smell and unhygienic surroundings 

3, crowd that turns up shouts and screams for home team alone instead of enjoying the atmosphere clapping and cheering good cricket 

 We should fix these things first.

Hardly surprising.

Lords is the home of cricket. Hope India wins a WTC final there, will be very special

In June you could host in north of India as a D/N test, maybe even Dharamshala. Also why does it have to be June anyway? Who the * came with June/July cycle

Dharamsala would be awesome but BCCI barely hosts Test matches there.  Same old venues get the games. 

June/July start of summer in England.  Indian Aussie season starts in OCT ends in March.  Perfect time to start a new cycle in June/July for WTC otherwise it will be confusing.
