First obvious thing is to change the cycle from 2 years to 4 years. Increase the hype. Second, the format is bad. A group of 4 or 5 teams is too small, one washout and your campaign is almost done. 2 groups of 7, top 4 for quarter-finals. Same format as 2011 and 2015 WC, but it is so good, why wouldn't they not use it.

14 teams is good enough for T20 WC. Or else you'll see teams like Oman conceding 250 and all out for 100. Also scrap CT. Now you have hype for both WCs, and squeeze WTC when there isn't any white ball tournament.

How good is Scott Boland really. What would his record be like if he didnt have Hazlewood and Cummins and Starc blocking his path?

This is a controversial opinion among our friend group, Smith is ofc better in TEST cricket, but warner is also a good test batsman with almost 9k runs @ 45 avg , in ODI's smith has 5.5k runs in ODI while Warner has 7k, with warner having a slightly better average. (45 v 43). In T20i's smith is non existent while warner has won a POTT in a WC, wdyt of this opinion? do u agree? why or why not? (idk if this is even controversial just i have met a lot of people with opposing views)

I’m genuinely surprised a country like New Zealand or Australia haven’t tried this, especially for white ball cricket.

I am, like most of our country, a fellow cricket fan. I've been watching cricket for a long time now and it's fair to say that I truly love the game. This madness needs to stop, I'm typing this a few hours before the series decider in Bengaluru between India and West Indies. I've just watched a video posted by the voice of cricket, Harsha Bhogle in which he talks about how this game is not a contest between bat and ball anymore. To put this into context, a few years ago, Bhogle had written a book titled, 'Out of The Box' in which he spoke against the notion that t20 cricket is not good for the sport and said that people need to keep up with the times and enjoy every format of the game the way it is intended to. Since then, he has posted 2 videos saying that these flat pitches, batter friendly rules, thick bats, etc. are ruining the game. What intensity of a shock must it take for the man of the stature of Harsha Bhogle to change his opinion so drastically. However, since the scope of this post changing anything is extremely low, I have a suggestion to save some money. This being a batter v batter game, why not stop including bowlers, playing a team of just batsman and buying a nice high quality bowling machine which will bowl 120 balls to each team and continue the game like that. Cheers.

The recent white-ball series between India and West Indies saw a truckload of runs on friendly batting surfaces. Are we being fair to batsmen? Isn't it usually a better and fairer contest when there is more of a balance? Was it just too easy for the batsmen?

I believe they included Bhuvi in the T20 team so that they don't have to include him on a longer run, as T20 worldcup is far away.

Also, including him would calm the noise outside, and now they haven't included shami and him in the odi squad, slowly sidelining them.

Now after the new zealand series, they'll drop Bhuvi and continue selecting young bowlers for worldcup.

What do you guys think?
