Number Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 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. Gollum 1 Link to comment
sensible-indian Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 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. Gollum and Number 2 Link to comment
R!TTER Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 (edited) 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! Edited November 20 by R!TTER Ultimate_Game, Gollum, nevada and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
neel roy Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 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 Number, nevada and Ultimate_Game 2 1 Link to comment

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. Ultimate_Game 1 Link to comment

mani sha Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 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 . Link to comment
Gollum Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 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. Link to comment
mani sha Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 Don’t play d/n games when dew is there. Just takes fun out of contest Link to comment
