Thread: Cricket scores around the world

What a fight back by mighty Australia.

Well the Poms won one game against the Aussie B side so Betty and Harry don't be too hard on them.

With that win Australia has once again taken the rightful position as the number 1 one-day cricket side.

That's not the way I'd phrase it, LT...

Yes I'd say England collapsed like a clown's car.

. . . nail-biting stuff

Yes, good game. Well played the Convicts after setting a very sub-par total.

Absolute shite from the country of God's finest.

Can we officially close the thread now...

Thankfully all much, much shorter.

Nope. Karma for that repo

Hooray! We won again!

England's top order blew if for them again.

Australia would have come out blazing, but Cook, Bell and little boy Root all had strike rates of 60'ish - which left the work for the lower order.

I think it's bobcock actually

Though until now I thought it was captain Cook. all seems so fitting. A little pommy boy just trying to feed the kangaroos some more tripe, and gets slammed backwards

Old Karl Marx got a lot of things wrong but he was right about one big thing: political power follows on inevitably from economic power.
We are going to see this principle being put into action this week at Dubai when the International Cricket Council votes this week to change it constitution to allow the Big Three, Australian, England and India, to run the world of cricket.
The point to note here is that Australia, England and India run their cricket seasons at different times to each other.
The economic power of India in world cricket is about to be converted into its political control of the world game.
The report setting out the changes to the ICC constitution, a draft document of 21 pages, is confidential. However, in the nature of these things certain details have been leaked.
What these details indicate (and we can’t be certain if they are accurate, of course) is that all the cricket nations, outside the Big Three, could find their present lucrative world is in danger of being blasted away.
The Big Three will control the executive board of the ICC and pick and choose the countries they play their series against.
The basic principle for selection of the selection of bilateral tours will be their economics. This proposal destroys the existing Future Tours program which has seen countries like New Zealand and South Africa enjoy regular by England and India, the money-spinning tours for these countries.
Under the current Future Tours system, for instance, New Zealand had four series against England, two at home and two away, in an 8-year cycle. Under the new proposals, the Big Three will agree to one series only (but more if they want them) against the other top eight Test nations.
This proposal apparently commits Australia and England but not India. India might decide not play any Tests in countries deemed ‘uneconomic.’ As New Zealand journalists have noted, the current tour of New Zealand by India could be the last such tour.
The ICC’s revenue sharing model is to be revised upwards for India, particularly, so that 63 percent of all ICC revenues will go to India. India, in fact, generates an estimated 80 percent of all ICC revenues.
The proposed Test Championship (always an unlikely event) will be scrapped. But the 50-over Champions Trophy will be reinstated on a four-yearly basis.
Reports suggest that India wants to host an ICC event, either the Champions Trophy, the World T20 or the ICC World Cup tournament every three years.
India has threatened that it might pull out of ICC events, thereby destroying their economic viability, if these proposals are not approved. The Indian board of control, BCCI, made a $71 million profit on last year’s Indian Premier League, double the profit in 2012.

Australia has to go along or get left out.

I'm of mixed minds.
India in charge of cricket can't be a good thing.
The budget for this years IPL is something like 2.8 billion! That, and home tests will be Indias only focus.
But playing tests against the likes of Bangladesh and Zimbabwe is a pointless exercise and the proposals clear that up by introducing tiers and relegation.
What I'd like to see but won't happen is the top countries inviting the second tier sides to tour against development squads on a regular basis.

Yeah! It's like, piss off you little Pommy bastard.

Really?

They begged me to stay but I had better things to do.

I'm sure Australia still needs my skills, but I'm kindly letting Thailand use them for now.

Maybe in a couple of years eh Australia.....

(it's only been two weeks since an agent asked me if I was interested in Perth.....)
