3 things u h4te in modern day cricket

[Don Sharma]

For me,

• Pitches around the world needs to be improved a lot. The game wud b better off with equi-competition b/w bat and ball

• I would like to see spinners operating as wicket taking bowlers instead of containing the run flow. Again this depends on the pitch, I guess if pitches are gud, captians will take more risks when the spinners are on

• Finally, sledging. You can call an Aussie a SOB and go scot free but u cant call him a monkai and it is vice-versa in India.

Rockstars - :mad: who was that marketing manager who thought of this nonsense :mad: throwing their wickets away to dibbly dobbly seamers

1. Lack of seaming wickets in tests and ODIs. 2. Surplus of Left Hand Batsmen. 3. Stupid commentators and media.

lame bowling/lamer pitches if someone like vettori and kulaseka are no.1 and 2 in top ten bowling then how can you take this game seriously anymore???

I hate how nobody wants to tour Pakistan

[suraj]

Pakistan's prescence in ancient, mediveal and modern cricket!!! (their pitches, their umpires and their "namazi" players)

I hate the low number of teams playing quality test cricket. NZ,WI,BD fail to win most matches at home and suck ass away. ZIM is not playing tests anymore. With better management, ICC should have been able to get about 10-12 test teams by now, but we have 6.

and i hate - 1. 20/20 cricket - its not even cricket at all & just a murder of cricket. test & odi cricket r the real cricket 2. quota-system in team selection - players like rohit sharma being selected ahead of more deserving players just due to the quota system 3. super-flat pitches - with tests ending in boring draws, it takes away all the excitement off test cricket, the recent pak-sl test says it all. the pitches need to improved in tests so that we can get results in 4-4.5 days

^ u mean T20 is impure :hmmm:

[jittopjose]

i dont think that T20 would kill cricket..... it will make cricket more popular.... it gives result in 3 or 4 hrs... people need not spend a whole day to see a match.... also it will give away cricket's bad name as Lazy man's game......

I dont agrre with ur comment that Vettori doesn deserver to be no.1 btw it is news to me that both Dan and Kulas are 1 & 2 in the rankings

[Cricketics]

1. Umpires are given good decent shirt to wear 2. Umpires are given good decent trousers to wear 3. Umpires are given good decent hat to wear -- packholes shouldn't be given anything and should stand in the chilly weather with their mom made Kambal/Rajai/bedding

the fact that it is news to you shows that he shouldnt be no. 1!! In the last decade if someone told you that mcgrath was no.1 bowler you wouldnt be surprised. The game is becoming more and more a batsman's game and ive lost the interest that i used to have even two years back. And I hate 20/20!!!
