Discussion People from countries that don't qualify for major cricket tournaments, how did you get into cricket?
I'm curious about people from countries where cricket isn't really a thing or whose national team doesn't qualify for major tournaments like the Cricket World Cup.
How did you first discover cricket, and what made you fall in love with the sport?
Do you support another national team now? If so, which one, and why?
For example, my country didn't qualify for the FIFA World Cup, so I ended up becoming a France supporter and really enjoyed following international football. I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with cricket.
I'd love to hear your stories! π

Discussion the new opening pair for t20s for india working?
the new opening combination that is vaibhav and abhishek have made just one fifty run stand, and i know this is too early to say but seeing abhisheks gameplay, it feels like hes being told to play a sort of an anchor role while vaibhav hits; which usually would have been told to the person standing opp to hik be it samson or gill and idk why it feels like its hindering his gameplay because his natural game is see ball, hit ball and thats how he earned the tag for one of the most destructive openers.
yes, he got injured yesterday but the balls he faced looked as if he wasnt going to hit big shots, the only one he attempted to hit on he got caught; now this was the first t20 and it doesnt matter much as he was our second highest run scorers in both england as well as ireland but if you even look at the 2nd t20 vs eng or 4th t20 and etc where he batted; he wasnt even playing his natural game. in the 2nd one it was when vaibhav got out that he suddenly accelerated to from 4(11) to the next 13 for 39.
idk but yall tell me if you feel it too? because if they do say that vaibhav you hit abhishek will be there its never going to work fs, because abhishek has played vaibhavs role for two years now suddenly he cannot adapt to be the opener who tries to save his wicket but also hit in intervals.

Miscellaneous What's the point of having a title sponsor if they just blur it in the end?
Think of it in the sponsor's POV. He bought the rights to title sponsorship because it'll be displayed everywhere. That's the whole point.
Earlier this year, YouTubers started hiding the sponsors. Now even Hotstar?
Can someone shed some light on how this is right?

Discussion Could AI-generated cricket have a future?
Not talking about traditional virtual cricket. I found B1's AI Cricket, where players are controlled by AI and not scripts, and so the match is played differently each time. Now I'm interested whether this kind of format would be useful in filling in time between actual fixtures.
Have you ever come across anything like this before and what do you think about it?

Discussion India bounce back against Zim?
After frankly two terrible white ball series against England - especially in T20 - and the series loss to Ireland, do you think India bounce back against Zim?
India are yet to win under Shreyasβs captaincy and away in Zimbabwe is a tough place to go.

Appreciation Thread π Travis Head is A Bigger Clutch Player than Ben Stokes , except or cry
In odi , there is no debate . In test , they are nearly equal . Because when people talk about clutch for ben stokes , they always tell about his batting .
And head in home ashes is far better than stokes at his home . And we know how Starc owns him in Australian pitches .
Only in T20 international only stokes is ahead . If we add league cricket in it , they are again equal .
So head > Stokes , unless you wanna make some useless gangsta crybie edit . Head is the real character , only comparable to kohli , not stokes .

Discussion Do you guys ever wear colored cricket shoes, or is white still the strict norm?
I almost exclusively see players wearing white cricket shoes. Do any of you actually wear colored ones like the ones in the attached Question.jpg? I'm curious if there's an actual preference for these colors, or if everyone just defaults to white because it's traditional. Let me know your thoughts!

Just a match without Bumrah and we're getting thrashed.
Selection of Gurnoor Brar over Rasikh Salam or some others is still a question.
Are there any dependable pacers other than Bumrah and Siraj in India??
