ENGLAND vs WEST INDIES
There is no such thing as second place. Either you're first or you're nothing.
Reminder that Afghanistan were 3(three) times more likely to win than Englel

Also you're closing shit loads of bases. You end up having to beg Turkey and Co to use bases near the ME. You're shitting your pants over China, knowing they're going to start a war with you sooner or later and are preparing bases on illegally made atolls to defend themselves.

Hi, I been a lurker on here for a while, got addicted to cricket last summer ever since I been watching cricket nonstop. As an American its been hard finding the cricket material, such as cricket bats, and pads, but I got the equipment.
A week ago I saw a fb post for a cricket club in my college, so I got exited to play some cricket. I had an assumption it was going to be a bonding experience with my fellow cricket lovers, but it turned out I was singled out, no one would talk to me, people talking about my amateur cricket skills behind my talk. Maybe it was the demographics that singled me out. I was basically the only American, the rest of them were all either indian or pakistani.
Maybe this is why cricket is not growing in the States, because the game is not inclusive at all. :(
>>66505076
girl in black could get it
>>66505250
This doesn't surprise me at all sadly. All the experiences I've heard from Americans are similar.
>>66505277
>>66505076
girl in white would not get it

What happens if a parallel sports body starts organising cricket tournaments without the patronage of ICC?
Cricket is owned by ICC and MCC, since they hold copyright to the laws etc, how would they legally enforce their authority?

It's unfortunate that the sport is so small I can't avoid it.
>>66508035
There aren't many similarities between the IPL and BBL beyond that they are both domestic T20 comps: The purpose of the IPL is to maximise profits, the purpose of the BBL is to grow cricket. The IPL brings international cricket around the world to a halt. The BBL dovetails with it. Where the BBL has successfully built a positive community image and reputation, the IPL is best known for its innumerable match-fixing cases, conflicts of interest and scandals.
There's perhaps one example which best highlights the difference between the IPL and BBL. At the IPL there is a "cheerleader auction" where 2nd-rate Russian cheerleaders are sold to the different franchises. They dance, separated by barbed wire from the crowd, for the benefit of the adults. At the BBL games you have adolescents dancing for the kids.
As my post indicates, I despise the IPL. As far as I'm concerned the IPL is nothing but an exercise in Indian chauvinism. The newest IPL team was given an absurdly horrific name (even by IPL "standards") so that it would mirror the initials of the franchise's owner. Again for the comparison, the BBL franchises are all owned by the State associations. Where the IPL is corrupting cricket for the benefit of a few, the BBL is growing it.
>>66508011
there might be the odd /cric/ thread, but they'll be slow
as for the actual cricket, im not going to tell you not to watch it, but you should be prepared for an absolute cringefest. pic related is unironically the logo and name of one of the new teams. their kit is even worse

Yeah it is. That's one of my old lebbit posts, that guy reposted it. I was also obviously in a foul mood when I wrote it kek.
I saw it mentioned on cricinfo but didn't fact check it. Turns out it was mis-information.

>>66508164
didn't srinifuckan own a team too?
>>66508108
>what kind of match fixing are we talking about aswell?
Matchfixing by owners and carried out by scrub Indian players on little money
The chairman of Chennai Super Kings was proven to have placed bets on team selection. That same guy was also the son-in-law of the owner of the team, who is N Srinivasan who was the BCCI & ICC President. Basically the guy who runs world cricket. So you can see how fucked up it all us,
Most of the players proven to be involved are small-time. 'Biggest' name is Sreesanth who played in the World Cup final for India. Also rumours that Raina and Dhoni were involved with the CSK owner, but that is unproven.
>>66508108
>>66508164
Not to mention they still won enough matches to qualify for the playoffs.
>>66508144
As opposed to cricketers behind fences playing for entertainment? There's literally nothing wrong with any of that.

>It's not match fixing
Fine. Spot-fixing and corruption.
Happy?
ICC should ban all gambling on spot fixing markets
>>66508215
yes. RR won 2 out of 3 matches in which the spotfixing took place, it's still disgusting but match fixing is a whole different level.
>>66508217
Here's the problem: gambling is completely illegal in India (and all the other Paki countries) so the entire industry is illicit and hence cannot be controlled.
Sure you could ban spot fixing markets in Australia and England where gambling is regulated but it would achieve fuck all in terms of tackling corruption in cricket which stems almost exclusively from India.
