50 Over Cricket

Two wonderfully close games and I think today’s still goes down as a cracker.
Honestly even in the ‘still no close games’ on phase I was enjoying the non-England aspects of the tournament. Been some incredible performances and a game that lasts 100 overs doesn’t have to have a close finish to have been close along the way.
I know some are concerned about dead rubbers etc but I’ll cross that bridge if we get there. I’ve enjoyed this WC so far aside from the obvious. And that’s coming from someone whois very much my team first.

They kind of have with only ten teams in a supposed world cup which for me has devalued the event immensely.
Rugby and soccer expanding and we basically have a glorified champions trophy.
I think the format of this tournament is terrible but 50 over cricket itself is still pretty great.

I’d have smaller groups, more knockout games.

15 teams (3 pools of 5) and a super 6 then straight to final.
It is quite a stylish trophy, I'll give you that.

They’ve got to find a way to create more interest for odis again. I still think it’s a good format but too many countries don’t play their full strength teams a lot of the time mainly due to the hectic schedule . The boards don’t prioritise it anymore.
I think countries outside India and England odis aren’t that popular anymore. You can go to a franchise cricket game like bbl with lesser names and get a bigger crowd

Give it a few years. It will be reborn again. As soon as the number of balls per innings in a match approaches 1.

In <10 years, the Hundred will be obsolete.

Perhaps if bilateral series are mandated to be only 3 games only (with reserve days if necessary) with ranking points that make a difference in qualifying for big events, there might be some future. There should be a better calendar so that all teams play each other, giving the likes of Netherlands and others the chance to get better exposure.
