    ***Official*** DRS discussion thread

    He was commenting on the administration and their ignorance not the team, the fans or the country itself. So unless you are N. Srinivasan i don't know why you seem so offended.

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    By that logic Steyn is the best ever and has no equal, not that it's too far fetched if he maintains his form till he retires.

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    Actually Imran's batting average is only 1.61 runs higher compared to other top order batsman of his era. While there is no doubt about his bowling, the bowling average of fast bowlers of that era was 28.55 which is 5.74 more then Imran. Sobers averaged 22.36 runs higher then a top order...

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    You're comparing his secondary skill against Imran's primary. To make it fair, Imran's batting average is 50+ only against India and NZ, against the rest he averaged 32. While Sobers averaged over 60 against all the test playing nation of his time except Aus and NZ against whom he averaged 36...

    BCCI blocks technology for England tour BCCI blocks technology for England tour | Cricket News | England v India 2011 | ESPN Cricinfo I don't know why BCCI/Indian team is against this as it will give fair decisions imho.

    Champions League 20/20 may require qualification for some sides

    IMHO population doesn't matter in a Democracy. For example in the US, Whites constitute 72%, Blacks 12.5% and Asians 5%, a vote from a white person does not weigh more then the other races, its all equal even though they contribute considerably to the economy due to their population. The same...

    Champions League 20/20 may require qualification for some sides

    Democracy would allow all the cricket boards a fair representation in the Champions League, this is anything but. If they want it to be fair all the teams would have to go through a qualification kinda like the real Champions League in soccer and if IPL teams are good enough they will win the...

    cricket a dying sport in non south asian countries?

    That has lot to do with US influence and the West Indians embracing American sports such as basketball. Some caribbean nations like Jamaica, T&T, two most populated islands, are doing quite will in soccer by qualifying for the WC so that sparks a huge interest in the sport at the expense of...

    2015 World Cup: 10 teams and no associates

    Yes this sounds fair, like GeraintIsMyHero said every game should matter. Having 2 groups of 6-7 teams would allow test nations to take a day or two off which goes against your "every match should be exciting" logic. If minnows aren't allowed to partake in the WC against stronger competition...

    2015 World Cup: 10 teams and no associates

    To be fair there should be 4 groups of 3 or 4 depending on the number of teams and the top 2 should qualify for super 8 --> semis --> finals If a test team loses to a minnow in the group stage and doesn't qualify, then thats how it should be. The minnows shouldn't be penalized because the test...

    2015 World Cup: 10 teams and no associates

    Yet you don't want a super 6 format because if a minnow beats a test team, even though thats an upset and exciting result, its not exciting for the supporter of that test team because they "deserved" to qualify. If the test teams are really good enough, they should be able to beat the the...

    2015 World Cup: 10 teams and no associates

    The problem is these associate nations if they make strides in cricket will be good at TT not ODI. Someone mentioned earlier in this thread that countries like Ireland will lose good players to England since they would want to be eligible for ODI and not wait until 2019. Also playing ODI among...

    Crowds

    The 2011 NFL Super Bowl was watched by 111 millions people and there are 114.9 million U.S. Television Homes so the above number still pales in comparison. Super Bowl packs in record U.S. TV viewer total | Reuters 114.9 Million U.S. Television Homes Estimated for 2009-2010 Season | Nielsen Wire

    India would have reached final despite loss..

    I know they ran an April fools prank quite a while back where boundary and "6" would be changed to 5 and 10 runs. It also said how the cricketing history would be rewritten due to this (results, records, etc) and Bradman would indeed average 100+ with that logic.

    Which team beat Australia more convincingly ?

    Australia also scored 84 more runs against India, so if Pakistan were chasing 261 instead of 177 they would've lost the match. :cool:

    Future of Cricket, suggestion to the ICC

    NFL was created to keep the sport in the US, Americans could care less if the game spreads to other countries. Also NFL is extremely profitable their last known revenue (not income but profits) was $6 billion in 2006. Currently there are 19 NFL franchise worth at least $1 billion, so you can't...

    How come cricket is not spreading to other countries?

    US actually had North American Soccer League from the 60's to 80's which featured many high profile soccer players like Pele, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Geroge Best etc but over expansion caused its demise. The point i am trying to make is soccer had a history in the US, however small, before the 94...

    IPL Corruption and Match-Fixing Investigations

    Regional politics/bias only happens in India and i am saying this as an Indian, plus this issue has been part of Indian cricket and player selection throughout its history.
