No , its not about mny, crowd management is still a state thing, do not have such pvt. service providers rt. now. They can try manage inside ground but tht too is not possible.

 

 

Bcci can try to sell tkts but no one buys it, and then it requires other logistic like food and drinks for the audiences.  

 

 

No need to sell tickets, let people in for free.Any state police will help organize crowds.

 

When they can play finals in Chepauk, they can play semfinals in other grounds too.

 

 

If BCCI is unable to get help from any state police, that state would not get any more cricket matches.

I checked his spells.

 

[ 5 + 6 ]  + 5 + 2 + 2

 

The first spell was 5 last night and 6 today morning.

Think they should restrict to 4 overs , there are not many bowlers left and Odi wc is not that far .

Tilak varma has finally found his right format lol

no , this is a good way of managing the tournaments. 

 

Yes its done this way to avoid crowds, its hard to manage crowds without state apparatus, and they can only provide this much. Can not close location for a days.

 

We saw what happened when kolhi played in del last season crowds were unmanageable, kolhi came with security. 

 

This way they do not need to call upon anyone else, logistics are way simpler with having accommodations and everything available. Think board also understands that there is some element of player's pr where they are sending ppl or asking ppl to come out to watch certain players.

 

    

 

  

 

 

 

There are no crowd pullers in domestic cricket after Kohli and Rohit retired. I've watched domestic matches at the Chinnaswamy featuring several international/IPL stars and hardly 100-200 people turned up. When Test matches barely get enough crowds, I don't see why people would throng the stadium to watch Duleep Trophy.

 

The final will be played in Chennai instead of the Chinnaswamy because of some lingering pushback from local authorities over the RCB stampede. It should get resolved over the next year or so.

10th wicket partnership of 37 runs. You need a Tongue like bowler to blow away tailenders.

Dehati coaching staff of NZ they chose to bat first on a green top. Day 2-3 onwards pitch is playing like a flat track.

These gawars can't even read pitch and conditions lol

that just goes to show how bad indian coaches actually are  and the bcci's unofficial rule of hiring only indian coaches for the national team is massively hurting us

Choosing to bat first vs NZ on day 1 of a damp Bangluru pitch should have been instant sacking coach and captain 46 all out at home was bigger humiliation than 36 in Adelaide

yes that new zealand series was an absolute horror show  getting 3-0 whitewashed at home should have made that gautam gambhir's first and last series as test head coach

[Lone Wolf]

Nothing in the surface since day 1.. makes Gurnoor's effort all the more special.

That's what we missed in Colombo..which still had some help for Pacers willing to bend their backs.

Sooryavanshi batting maturely in the 2nd innings.

 

Good defense.

 

16 off 30 till now.

Newbie Yash Thakur bowling same speed as old man Shami .... around 135 kph. And with significantly less skills. 

 

Why would I prefer Yash T then ?

Yash is skiddy but he can up it to 140+ maybe bcci should tell him

SZ is stacked with Andhra and Hyderabad players,

 

Where is Mayank Agarwal literally scored a Ranji final century? Nair was a test bat but not good enough to find a spot  meanwhile Bhui (who's a good Ranji bat tbf) shoe horned in to open out of position

 

Not to mention Sai Ki wheeling away for Gloucestershire, No Vyshak , I know Indrajith and Pradosh had quiet seasons (so did Bhui) but surely good enough to make this team, Indra especially 

 

Age can't be a factor: Nidheesh is 35!

[bouncers]

Y play Saransh jain when we already saw him in sl. Should have played zeeshan anshari.

[cowboysfan]

CZ should be ashamed to lose to EZ,basically they were blitzed by a 15 year old both innings.

[cowboysfan]

Dubey might replace Jaddu soon,i dont think Jaddu will play next year.

There is nothing shameful about getting owned by VS. People have to start wearing like a badg of honor.  He bloody hit Raza for 100 meter six over extra cover on the up. 

[vvvslaxman]

Anshul kamboj is such a pest with bat. He can play a long innings here. NZ has a sniff here with deteriorating pitch.
