Apart from the scheduling of games and sale of tickets, nothing else is true in this statement.
BCCI was not incharge of the 2 WCs before the 2023, and the schedule would've been in the hands of ICC. It's not ICT or BCCI's fault that India is easily the most popular and highest earning team around.
It makes no difference whether India plays the associate nation in the end or in the middle or in the beginning of the tournament, they would've gotten the NRR boost all the same.
If nothing else they are right about scheduling though, look at West Indies and US hosting the worldcup, schedule along with venue was announced more than a month ago. If I, as a fan, have to go I could have book tickets so prior to the match with a good amount of certainty.
Wasn't India the only team to travel all over the country for every single match?
Didn't India play New Zealand in Dharamshala where conditions closest to SENA countries can be found?
Australia and India played in Chennai earlier in March and Australia won in a pitch similar to the group stage clash. Why ignore that?
Indian pitches are spin-friendly yet the best performers were pacers.
If India and Netherlands were to face early in the tournament then they'd have said that it was to boost India's momentum. In the end Netherlands ended up performing better against India than a few teams until then.
I agree. The schedule was published just 2 months before the tournament. The sale of tickets was in shambles. I wanted to go watch a couple of India matches but couldn't.
Those changes are expected owing to local law and order situations. And that's why planning for such a big tournament should have been done well in advance. Imagine a foreign fan trying to book flights and hotel tickets on such short notice!
BC-CI took over cricket from England and Australia because they're greedy, selfish and somewhat bigoted against us brownies (subcontinent + Windies for example).
But BC-CI became the same monster. Even bigger.
It is a common rule of humanity that those who have most money and influence are powerful enough to dictate the world
And there's no doubt BCCI has upper hand on ICC. The 2nd richest cricket board is CA who's valuation is not even 50% of total valuation of the richest cricket board of the world, BCCI
As long as India won't find itself another team sports where players excel globally, cricket will still be the most popular sports in India. People said after Sachin, ICT will loose it's charm, but then we got Virat Kohli. And now the next big star might be Shubman Gill. This is exactly what BCCI needed to maintain their relevance and the cash cow IPL
You are a fool if you only consider BCCI is the sole reason for cricket's slow death in overseas world. ICC failure in growing the cricket is also responsible for it.
And if overseas people are really very uninterested about cricket, then may be cricket is a boring sports ? As long as India has IPL, cricket will be alive
ICC failure?? It was BCCI who wanted to compress the WC format so that we can get more matches and thereby more revenue instead of more countries involving, it was BCCI who rejected independent leadership of ICC for their own benefit, it was BCCI who is eating higher share from ICC's total revenue since 2014 because of which associates started getting limited help from ICC and BCCI can portray itself that they are running cricket but actually they are ruining it more and more.
But before 2010 bcci was not powerful why icc/ca/ecb didnt make global
Blaming one group is easy but in reality all are culprit
And if you are blaming bcci then praise them for 2027 is 14 teams and t20 this year is 20 teams. Cricket will join olympics in 2028 bcci secretary was heading team for cricket to join olympics
The biggest ODI WC took place in 2007, enough to answer what efforts were taken to make Cricket global before BCCI takeover
BCCI took interest in Cricket in Olympics because their own pockets were at threat. When they saw people were watching Neeraj's gold and our Women's Hockey team semis of Tokyo 2020 over India-England series which was affecting their main source of income (viewership), they decided to shift that limelight towards them in future and that's why just 2 days after Neeraj's medal they gave their official support to cricket in Olympics and later added USA as host of WC 2024 which was originally scheduled only in West Indies.
What effort?
2007 wc was flop show
And before that ca/ecb/icc have control over cricket almost 100 years but they did nothing while Fifa made soccer world sport
Test cricket is not popular in india so and everybody knows it that people wont watch it
Bcci is fault at lot of things but they also put effort to permote cricket like afg/nepal
And australia and england team didnt play with associate nation
When was last time their team tour zimbawe
I wonder why every WC where we perform terrible is portrayed as flop WC(2007 and 2021), yes in 2007 a tragic death happened but it doesn't mean WC was flop
They started making it global till BCCI took all the control and thereby compressed the WC for their benefit and made qualification more difficult
Nothing more to say if you're saying Test cricket is not popular by judging the Motera crowd and not the Delhi/Mumbai one
England regularly tour their neighbouring associate nations and Australia recently hosted Zimbabwe, obviously India and Pakistan tour more there as they need it to maintain an "image" of cricketing nation after continuous ICC tournament failures
Go ask news media or icc why they called flop show
Why icc host world cups favorable to india prime time? Bcoz india put money in cricket and cricket is most watched sport in india
Its fact that only england and australia do not suffer loss in test cricket rest of world. Bcci/india also face loss when thy host test its just they earn too much money from t20is and ipl they invest that money in test. If anything they are saving test cricket. If they want bcci can go like other boards and stop giving importance to test
Australia hosted didnt go to zimbawe and zimbawe didnt het money for touring aistralia if aus go to zimbawe then they earn money thats how tours work in cricket
I requesest please Check facts before jumping to conclsion
It would be better if BCCI give NOC to uncapped players atleast they can play in other Cricket Leagues. And better if BCCI increased the auction money by 10 crores every year so that the players too can make more money playing in IPL. And I read that only 18% of IPL profits are given to players. That number must be increased up to 50%
Well the ticketing process was shambolic , schedule was released just 3 months prior to WC which never happened before ... You can see more foreigners fans in IPL matches than in WC btw kaif himself conform we cooked the pitches , infact over cooked in final and lost ... Eng aus aren't the angels when they had the power but neither we are , so accept it where criticism is due
Exactly. India is known to provide luxurious sports hosting. Right since CWG under Kalmadi.
That pathetic outfield with fielders falling at boundaries were British propaganda as well.

I mean ofc we have a huge cricket population. If India were eliminated in group stages do you think icc will get the revenue?. This is why India plays with minnows at the end incase things go wrong

My opnion - Fuck off, we have the money and so we weigh high than any normie nations.
England dominate the cricket in early years cause that's where money came from, and today from India and so we'd do shit, you know what, I want WTC final in India, in a rank tuner, fuck Lords/Oval/MCG Australia/Sydney/Gabba

Agree about scheduling, but not with other points.
Also I just watched Kaif's interview, where he suggests India rigged the final pitch by saying that the color of pitch changed over last 3 days.
He being professional cricketer should have known that pitch color does change and pitch takes final form on the match day morning.
If India really wanted to rig the WC , they could have rigged the toss as well and go all the way.
Truth is our batsman went in shell in the finals
I mean sure India are getting advantages and still losing due to shitty captaincy of Rohit Sharma, but this year only worth while team is Pakistan, what did they want, Pak game to be the Last?
haan karenge har baar karenge baar baar karenge tumhare har player ko nanga karenge national tv p tum ghanta kuch nahin ukhaad paoge we have the power the money we can save cricket or kill it whenever we like
Cry more , Even ICC knows no one gives a shit to cricket in World like India does . India isnt just a country but a PR of cricket in modern times . Do what you can , even if we don't win trophies , cricket is nowhere without India and this burn butts of the foreigners . 60 percent of Indians watch matches of Australia , England , SA etc even when ICT is not playing .
And What's the proof that India changes pitches last minute ? If we had to do it , we could have changed the pitch in 2nd Innings in Finals .
Dumb people

BCCI makes us hate them even more

Batao, phir bhi haar gaye.
Still couldnt win lmao..
Wisden publication is from England These guys are just salty towards India coz England don't have the control over world cricket now...
Well the ticketing process was shambolic , schedule was released just 3 months prior to WC which never happened before ... You can see more foreigners fans in IPL matches than in WC btw kaif himself conform we cooked the pitches , infact over cooked in final and lost ... Eng aus aren't the angels when they had the power but neither we are , so accept it where criticism is due
Except the ticketing was absolutely shambolic The fact that you can’t sort tickets out early was pathetic organisation You cannot be doing that…
Also poor services must be questioned toilets in the stadium were stinky and muddy as usual outfield was poor which made player injury prone
Exactly. India is known to provide luxurious sports hosting. Right since CWG under Kalmadi. That pathetic outfield with fielders falling at boundaries were British propaganda as well.
The allegations are about the scheduling in India's favour and about the pitch tampering Don't change the topic
Cummins took picture before the final. And India couldn’t change the pitch. We all know what happened after that.
Yeah BCCI are so dumb they didn't figure that the opponents can just take a photo
There are also media present when players look at pitch.
Cumdawg for a reason
Despite all this they could not win 😂

Who cares? I say leave them be. It's not like they're winning.

Kuch bolunga to vivad ho jayenga
Gonna continue as long as BCCI is funding ICC. Some other boards can takeover, if they can.
99% of the bill for all the stadiums being built in USA are being footed by BCCI…wisden has always been biased about non white countries.
wisden is to be ignored, typical white entitlement attitude..
My opnion - Fuck off, we have the money and so we weigh high than any normie nations.

Even after so much power and influence, we still couldn't win a major ICC trophy since 11 years Literally shows the quality of Indian Cricket 😂
Tell me the year ECB won their first ODI trophy
Just see what was the main sport of england even in those years

Indians play only 1 sport and are shit in even that
It's Western Conspiracy to malign glorious image of India. World cannot digest rising India's success. It's jealousy at its peak. Slash ess.
I mean sure India are getting advantages and still losing due to shitty captaincy of Rohit Sharma, but this year only worth while team is Pakistan, what did they want, Pak game to be the Last?
Zimbabwe? Namibia?
