A game for gentlemen.

As stated in the old thread, T20 World Cup will be a laugh to see teams going all out for the crash and bash version of the game.

Is cricket like baseball?

It's either cricket or Rugby. I would think cricket since practically 99.9% of the Indian and Pakistani population watches cricket. That's a fuck ton of people right there.

re: Cricket Discussion Thread

Wow, the T20 match between Pakistan and Australia yesterday. Amazing, exciting. Kept one on the seats till the end of the super over ! Cricket at its best.

Pakistan, West Indies look good to win the World T20. And, South Africa too, if they don't choke

T20 world cup is going to be amazing, don't know why you guys are hating, it's still a World Cup, how can it be a joke? You guys amuse me sometimes.

Different strokes for different people.

Surprising, I know.

re: Cricket Discussion Thread

I get that, but it's still a World Cup, and for people to only take in only the T20 factor and call it a joke is amusing.

re: Cricket Discussion Thread

It is a joke. No one cares about a T20 world cup. There is nothing about it advertised or mentioned in the press down here. Its a non-issue, its an irrelevant cup, it means nothing.

re: Cricket Discussion Thread

didnt even know there was one until it was mentioned here.

Re: Cricket Discussion Thread

People are quite excited for T20 World Cup in the place where cricket matters

Ironically, there will be more people watching T20 World Cup, in TV or otherwise, than some Just Another Meaningless Test series, including Ashes.

I can understand why Australians don't like it since they are below Ireland and Bangladesh in the rankings ! :lmao

Because you Indians have a population of a billion and its the only sport you have. pound for pound the Ashes would smoke the holy hell out of it in the ratings :troll

We have Brad Hogg in our 20/20 side :lmao that right there shows that we don't care about it at all.

thats how australians always say stuff, i'm watching the footy, i'm watching the rugby, i'm watching the cricket etc.

Re: Cricket Discussion Thread

yeah we've suddenly changed our tune cos of the rankings

Re: Cricket Discussion Thread

In two countries where cricket is declining :lmao

Majority of the cricket fans would watch T20 World Cup rather than Ashes series, which is just confined to two countries. If you are at an disadvantage, it is your problem, not ours. Fact stands that, most of the cricket fans don't want to watch JAM Test series.

More popularity, more viewership, more excitement, more fun = T20 World Cup

Re: Cricket Discussion Thread

Nope, pound for pound far more people watch the Ashes :troll Majority of australian and english cricket fans would prefer to watch the ashes.

Doesn't matter since it is a meaningless bilateral series for the rest of the countries

So, fact remains that the majority of the cricket fans prefer a T20 World Cup than a JAM test series and thus T20 is a more popular and more pertinent to cricket as a whole.

Especially when T20 is the future of cricket.
