I am bored of rigging up of groups to set up India Pakistan matches.

I am bored of rigging up of groups to set up India Pakistan matches.

I love it personally.

 

[Athlai]

It's so transparent but it gives the people what they want.

Really the reason the world test championship is played at Lords is so we can get India vs Pakistan at Lords one day

 

[ankitj]

ODI world cups have been fine. Out of 10 world cups with groups for league rounds, only 2 have had India and Pakistan in the same group (2003 and 2015). T20 World Cups have been totally rigging up. Even Asia Cup somehow had both teams in the same group (although Sri Lanka proved by winning the tournament that those 2 are not top 2 teams)

Ban “CW chai sutta” to revive this deadness here

 

[anil1405]

Plenty

Yeah, plenty. The other way round.

 

[Starfighter]

And the Gambhiring has started before the match has even begun.

It's OK it's the only way they get to play nowdays, also a big payday for ICC and the broadcasters so sub happy.

 

[TheJediBrah]

India and Pakistan should always be in the same group, common sense

 

[Spark]

I know it's a broken record but this one game is going to make the broadcasters tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars for the ICC and broadcasters and yet the audio quality is what you'd get if you got some kid to pick up a cheap USB mic from JB Hi-Fi.

 

[TheJediBrah]

That's some good keeping

Pakistan going to get smashed here. They've only got 3 international quality players

 

[Starfighter]

Good observation as to who the keeper is from Ian Smith. Moron.

 

[trundler]

Pressure building already.

 

[Burgey]

Come on Pakistan

 

[Starfighter]

Terrible start from Pakistan.

 

[Burgey]

Poor review this

 

[TheJediBrah]

Pakistan going to get smashed here. They've only got 3 international quality players

And there goes one of them

Good observation as to who the keeper is from Ian Smith. Moron.

I think that's Danny Morrison, but yes

 

[Starfighter]

Arshdeep carrying on the proud tradition of the medium-fast bowler with a four mile long run.

 

[Spark]

rip in peace

 

[TheJediBrah]

Arshdeep Singh another left-arm fast bowler that's way better than Mitchell Starc. Genuinely think he's the worst in international cricket by a distance
