    Should the ICC pay International Cricketers?

    What if the ICC paid the cricket boards the same as they do now, but a portion of it would be direct paychecks to the cricketers instead? I suppose a truly corrupt board would have ways of recuperating that "lost" income by instituting membership fees or somesuch for their players.

    Should the ICC pay International Cricketers?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the ICC makes no revenue off bilateral Test series.

    We need a "does Rahane deserve his spot in the Test lineup?" discussion to happen :ph34r:

    Should the ICC pay International Cricketers?

    Yeah, I'm undecided on whether I really believe in the argument I've made or am simply playing devil's advocate. Probably more of the former, still :p I'm not fully convinced of the nation-representation angle. The US bought over German nuclear scientists after the war and the subsequent...

    Mohammed Amir cleared to return with immediate effect

    It's a reasonable conclusion to draw for anyone who isn't blinded by other motivations. What part of that did you find tough to comprehend? It's a similar concept to how we have absolutely no iron-clad proof that you're an intelligent and moral person, but it's reasonable to conclude from your...

    Should the ICC pay International Cricketers?

    You're basically looking for a capitalism vs communism debate. Robbing Peter to pay Paul. Unions. Besides, what makes cricket so special that it deserves what the rest of society doesn't have? Unless you demonstrate this moral imperative, there exists no compulsion for cricket boards to make...

    Another argument that would hold true if people weren't petty self-serving individuals acting under the cloak of morality: "So the unrepentant cheat was kept out of the game and cricket didn't cease to exist? Shocking" No surprise that Fusion displays the same trait of unrepentance in his...

    Should the ICC pay International Cricketers?

    If we're going by ideology, maybe they should have global governing bodies to ensure that. Besides, the ICC does not have the stated objective of ensuring equal pay for all it's practitioners. If it goes full communist and does ensure that, it still does not equalize opportunities because...

    Should the ICC pay International Cricketers?

    Engineers/doctors/lawyers/accountants/xyz professionals in certain countries makes less than their counterparts do in others for reasons that are not linked to individual skill levels or productivity. Cricketers and bleeding heart liberals ought to stop pretending that cricket exists in a...

    Player revolt in sa over quota system ??

    On the flip side, Tamil is a multi-national language while Hindi is an official language in only one country, IIRC. But your point stands in practical terms.

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    The green at the top was common to all three teams, and so Pakistan had to wear a different colour at the bottom to maintain the two-colour scheme.

    It's an entirely reasonable conclusion to draw from the facts, you dolt.

    So does that not lend credence to the theory that they're pissed off at Amir because they've observed his "arrogance" and utter lack of repentance of late?

    Mohammed Amir cleared to return with immediate effect

    Why are you so stuck on the time period of the protests? If I were a player that isn't guaranteed to be in the team 5 years from now on, why would would I even open my mouth until the bridge presents for the crossing? Maybe they thought he'd reform, but certain events and interactions over the...

    Of course they're unnamed sources. One would have to be an idiot to attach their names to a leak of this nature. But of course, you'd rather wave them away and be taken in by the tutored utterances of the scumbag who saw the error of his ways (a tear rolls down my cheek at this point) only after...
