Is cricket in asia really cricket?

[jairamesh]

Umar Gul certainly had them English flying around. And Cook and Pietersen:hehe: falling to bouncers...laughable on these pitches.

I mean let us be reality the best cricket is played when the ball is flying around for the quick bowlers and good stroke players make hay' date=' none of this bull in asia where the ball doesnt bounce and spin bowlers bowl 75% of each day, just boring and not good for cricket [b']if you ask me.

you sure about that? england have a very long history of getting destroyed in those conditions. lots of massive series defeats in WI, AUS, SA, etc. one or two series wins in the last 12 months doesnt really change that fact.

but when they are generating 99.99% of the revenue you better sit your ass and watch what they have to offer without complaining.

If every pitch in the world was the same, it would be very boring. Variety of pitches around the world is what makes international cricket difficult.

Guess now the next post will be is it cricket in warmer weather, high humidity, players start sweating doesn't make for good viewing lol, well I guess u should start watching Soap operas then lol.To an extent it holds tru both ways when a test match ends in 3 days, wicket is unplayable or games in Sri Lanka which i dont watch as teams score 700 just for the heck of it and not trying to win.

No it isn't, its called making a kabab out of the visiting Englishmen. What about WI though ? You prefer the WAGs with Sanford but Mallya can't even drool ? That's racist :hitler:

[Pakistan]

As Aussies would say "Whinging poms".

:hysterical::hysterical: naach na aawe aangan tedha. Talking of double standards, this is it. When we were white-washed, we never complained anything about the pitches or conditions.

[gult]

People were asking if IPL is cricket.. this post is much more ridiculous. May be in your eyes, only Ashes is cricket.. I don't blame you.. you all, cricketers and fans, are same

Cricket is not cricket anywhere if England loses. :haha: As England generally lost most matches between 1986 to 2006, during that period cricket was hardly played. :giggle:

let us be reality the best cricket is played when the ball is turning for the spin bowlers and good stroke players make hay, none of this bull outside Asia where the ball swings and bounces and pacemen bowl 75% of each day, just boring and not good for cricket if you ask me.
