ICC needs to find ways to minimise impact of dew

[Number]

After 2021 T20 WC fiasco in Dewbai, it has affected the games in this wc as well. 

Organisers are blindly following the times given by broadcasters without caring about the impact it can have on the game.

Ashwin gave the idea a year ago that matches can start at 12 o clock afternoon but the broadcasters just don't agree with that.

There has to be a way to minimise this kind of unfair advantage on toss.

[sensible-indian]

Agree.

 

The solution lies in solving the dew problem.

 

Not in having a best of 3 finals.

 

Finals are finals for a reason.

 

They expose phattus for who they are.

Broadcaster gaya bhaad me, if you can change pitches according to your liking why not the playing times? This is on *ing BCCI if they caved in to the ICC/STAR's demands!

Just play the KO matches as day games. Start at 10 AM and end at 5 pm. Normally you ll anyways have flood lights if light is an issue. Job done. Can you stop rain No. can you stop dew No. so play when no dew. Sunday final we really dont need day night match. People will happily watch from 10 am. Just as england did in 2019. No idea why star etc and bcci is fixated on day night. We are playing in nov the finals so even hot weather not an issue

Almost all India's important matches were on Sat or Sun. They could be easily day games. 

England, Aus, SA, NZ - 10 AM IST start also suited these time zones for watching matches for fans of these countries. 

The obsession with day night is ruining the game.

For couple of 100 million BCCI have sold their soul to star. Ambanis taking over Disney hotstar. Hope people there are looking into this.

Best of three 

avoid day night matches 

play finals as best of three on three different venues. 
dont have semifinals - have points taken from group stages and top 2 teams in best of three .

Even before the schedule was out, Ashwin threw in the idea of an early start this WC for D/N games, 12 or 12:30. Pity there was no discussion around that. Broadcasters have too much power.

Don’t play d/n games when dew is there. Just takes fun out of contest

If india won yesterday than y'all would be like "What dew?"

It won’t allow BCCI babus to do their stupid light show if we make it day game.
