    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    Abey c***** BCCI doesn't own or operate every stadium in the country, just because they offered Noida doesn't mean they use/operate it. The Brabourne stadium is owned by CCI, DY Patil by Reliance DY Patil Sports Academy, Kotla by DDCA - did ACB contract BCCI to host this test or was it mostly on...

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    Oh, shut the **** up. BCCI gave 3 options to ACB; they chose probably the cheapest option. BCCI has nothing to do with the ground or facilities; this isn't your game of monopoly where anything goes by; there are real jurisdictional and procedural issues when dealing with other authorities! Did...

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    I don't watch the IPL, but I'm sure every one of the 5-year-olds posting in this thread probably thinks they live in a utopia, whereas in the real world nothing is free and your own decisions have consequences!

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    It must be nice from where you are giving away other people's money, right? Do you also donate on behalf of your neighbors their monies or pay their taxes from your pocket? Talk is cheap :laugh:

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    So why do you think India doesn't play here? Maybe you'll come up with another asinine reason to blame it all on BCCI? https://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/noida-stadium-banned-by-bcci/article19716020.ece

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    The ground is not under UPCA; FFS check the links I posted, nor does BCCI use it. It's like y'all really think BCCI needed to sabotage the NZ team to win a series 3-nil :glare: A ground where they played all their games? Just to be clear, I would blame the weather first, then everything else...

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    Keep in mind this was probably a few months (years?) back, so they wouldn't have anticipated the unseasonal rains.

    Dhoni or ponting

    Yeah apparently missed that, ODI's for me are the third wheel on the cricketing "bicycle" as of now i.e. irrelevant. Bring back the one new ball rule then we might actually enjoy them more.

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    It was always supposed to be played at that ground; it was never "rescheduled," AFAIK. If you're talking about BCCI not helping ACB "properly," then yes, I agree with that, although with a caveat that it's possibly above their pay grade.

    Dhoni or ponting

    Say what? Winning three times down under in a row isn't significant? You know the last team, before SA, that beat Oz at their home thrice row? Or the last team that beat them (thrice) in a series of at least 4 tests? I'd give up a WC for that, although I'm almost sure RGS wouldn't :mellow:

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    BCCI doesn't own or operate this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaheed_Vijay_Singh_Pathik_Sports_Complex You do know that there are stadiums that are private or public and not owned by the BCCI, right?

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    As for the larger point about hosting it properly, that is true, but again probably influenced by geopolitics as well. Let's see if BCCI continues shoving ACB like that or not; if it's a pattern, then politics is definitely a factor!

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    Then at least 50% of the blame goes to ACB, you can't shift tests on a short notice. This isn't MCU or DCEU or One piece for that matter :eye: https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/a-gloomy-debut-for-test-crickets-newest-venue-in-greater-noida-1450484 For the unseasonal rains pretty much anywhere...

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    And what the f_u_c_k does that mean, these are unseasonal rains! The monsoon retreats well down South/west by now! Ideally they should've done better but then you're ignoring the 10,000lbs Trex in the room.

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    And who'd pay the difference to host it at a better venue or you think it's all free because it's India? The team that has a grand total of 2 (test) wins in India :laugh: Speculating, like the others, but maybe this has more to do with Taliban? They're not exactly GoI's BFF. 8-)

    Joe Root vs Ponting

    When you're comparing the top 0.1% or 0.001% of all cricketers ever, there's only one way to gauge them - through filters. You could argue whether one "filter" is better than others, but realistically speaking, there's no objective way to come to a conclusion. It would depend more on what you...

    Joe Root vs Ponting

    And your point is? Just an FYI that was the first proper "turner" Root played on in India in his first 8 tests! Maybe we should just make roads all the time & also give the toss advantage, which you usually get any way. Primary team England or India Opposition team England or India Host...
