A cricket fan! Barely workable English comes from listening and watching cricket lol, so my apologies in advance for all the grammatical mistakes and spelling errors I would inevitably be making on this site!. My all-format, all-star, all time cricket xi among those players whom I have seen playing: Adam Gilchrist Saeed anwar Virat kohli Sachin tendullker Mohd yousuf Andrew Flintoff Wasim Akram Mutthaiya muralitharane Shane warne Allan Donald Glenn McGrath. FROM KASHMIR (Kashmir is a huge tourist destination, it has also been given the name "the paradise on earth", although unfortunately half of our land is occupied by pakistan and the remaining half by india. In fact this whole rivalry you see between India and pakistan is on Kashmir, the real bone of contention between the two. Even China has already cut us from the North and our NorthEast and it's intentions are no better. My first languages are Kashmiri and Urdu.

Australia with such a huge reputation as a great sporting country, amazes me how could they fell so behind when it comes to the most popular sport on the planet. The outlook itself is so hopeless towards the sport, carry such a low opinion of themselves to begin with

Real uncanny matches
Written off in the first half
Coming back on the back of other teams
Lift themselves when it matters
Get past new zealand in semis while chasing, after losing the toss at Sydney
Will england be the other finalist at Melbourne and pakistan can win again?

Why would someone fake his/her
Kashmiri identity on an Australian sports blog website? Huge problem with many Indians is they think world is centred around India. No one gives a f about third world india, kashmir, or pakistan not even in middle east deserts, let alone in the west.
By the way Indian Kashmiris don’t have a problem with india, but it is a cultural thing to have have sympathies with pakistan particularly when ut comes to cricket. This is because of 80s, 90s scenario and since imran Khan’s 1992 success during the peak of insurgency the whole of the valley started becoming fans of pakistani team. The trend continued. People finally realised that India is were their good future lies but continued there fanship with pakistan. India a proud democracy should have been cool with it, but it rather acts as a crybaby and keeps charging Kashmiris with anti national acts just for being a particular sports team fans. Actually our India hasnt matured yet democratically and still is in the cradle with nappies on
King Kohli shines again as India rain over Bangladesh to all but seal T20 World Cup semi-final berth
That way I am only coming close to your school of watching the game. Try and enjoy the longer format, watch the contest between the wood and the leather while overlooking their names, nationality and the results. I can’t allow this circus to hit me hard time and again anymore. I think Aussies were right throughout when they realised very early that it is not something to be taken too seriously.
Talking about the test cricket and your passion for it i hope you have postponed your trip in accordance with the postponement of the test series. See you in the winters i hope! You will certainly relish gulmarg and sonamarg in Jan/feb
Australia's T20 World Cup title defence all but over despite edging out Afghanistan after Starc's surprise axing
Couple of things are now regular patterns, and really annoying ones, for cricket fans of some nations like australia, south africa and pakistan to experience.
Strangely often enough we are seeing their team managements making dumb and odd descisions. Everyone in the country, kids, experts, commentators and even opponents seem to know the obvious decisions that should be made on or off the field except the trio of selection committee, the captain and the coach.
Secondly, unlike before players these days seem to be too much emotionally detached perhaps due to over professionalism, too much money, affluent lifestyles, and thus not being able to relate to the sentiments and demands of their fans. Seeing your players appear so indifferent and still wear smiles after losing games they should have won makes one tear his/her hair out.
Australia's T20 World Cup title defence all but over despite edging out Afghanistan after Starc's surprise axing
My sympathies lie with the spirit of the sport. And I never said India lost deliberately against South Africa, that would be quite a childish claim.
I don’t hate India, I like the country, it’s people, I have no trouble calling myself an Indian. Although since Indian team (bcci) is a strong team, in all senses, i tend to defend the weaker sides and would like to see fair competition and unbiased refreeing of the sport as a cricket fan. India is a brilliant side and it is frustrating to see them act as cry babies and alway as try to take advantage of their huge financial prowess over other playing nations. Also trying to mould the governing body of the sport in every possible aspect is so distasteful, classless, immature and appalling.

Harder or not, resumption was there only chance. The problem is it resumed prematurely, and Shakib’s concerns were overlooked. Normally umpires would err on the cautious side when it is a wet outfield, why not follow the norm when your blue-eyed boys are out there?
King Kohli shines again as India rain over Bangladesh to all but seal T20 World Cup semi-final berth
I ll say RIP CRICKET again. Bangladesh robbed in daylight. Everything was super hastened when ICC realised their masters are falling off short on DL score and match resumed with wet outfield atleast an hour earlier than it should have. It was so wet that to keep their fielders above the ground India had to engage extra men on the line to wipe muck off their shoes. Post resumption Bangladesh immediately payed the price when it’s most dominating and set batter slipped, hurted himself, slipped again and got runout. This is an absolute mockery of the sport. ICC an obvious sellout can’t do anything, ECB and ACB are hesitant to intervene. It is better to bid goodbye to this circus.

One of the greatest matches of all time: Kohli magic propels India past Pakistan in epic MCG thriller
It’s not about me. It’s about all the cricket fans who have been persuaded away from following the game feeling resentful with the behaviour of ICC. Over the last two decades, the ruling body, umpiring officials and the wealthy BCCI have displayed such a twisted and inexplicable behaviour so openly and shamelessly. Many fans may not have come to realise this bias due to being on the beneficiary end mostly. Rest can feel the injustice and are getting repulsive to cricket more and more.

Culturally It’s a very routine thing to support pakistan in Indian Administrated Kashmir especially when it comes to cricket. It is going on since Britishers left
But more than anything you don’t, as a cricket fan, want to see officials so shamelessly tilted towards favouring a particular side.
One of the greatest matches of all time: Kohli magic propels India past Pakistan in epic MCG thriller
Kohli demands the no-ball, umpires have a little chat and give it on-field and don’t even bother to refer? Is this some kind of a joke??
One of the greatest matches of all time: Kohli magic propels India past Pakistan in epic MCG thriller
Agree with you as running of a free hit when hitting the stumps is within rules.
But following two instances once again show a good evidence of umpiring bias favouring one side.
Third Umpire is more worried than Sharma himself & wants to review his dismissal.
Later same umpires show so much eagerness to call a very close no-ball on-field & clearly didn’t want to review, even when the ball was dipping and Batsman made the contact outside the crease.
Passionately following a sport ruled by a nepotistic ruling body is really really disappointing.

BYE BYE CRICKET ????
After watching today’s game my already diminishing interest in cricket took yet major tumble. ICC as a governing body has become a joke now. Now we have enough evidence how refereeing and umpiring are nepotistic and clearly keep favouring BCCI run Indian side.
Leaving previous instances aside, in todays match when Sharma was caught, umpires were more worried than him (happily walking back) and wanted to review his descision. New batsman was on the crease and third umpire was still preoccupied with the catch.
Later same umpiring panel didn’t even bother to review a very close no ball and were so keen to call to it on-field. Also, batsman had left the crease. How on earth was that not referred upstairs?
Passionately following a sport run by such a perverted ruling body is a form of self-annihilation for me. I am sorry this is enough for me. I am happy with football , EPL, uefa and keenly looking forward to fifa World Cup. I ll keep an eye on the game maybe test cricket more but not take it seriously anymore. This is daylight cheating now.

If they can record so many numbers, can’t they keep track of one more simple yes/no checkbox for every player?

That’s what I am saying, people expect you to be at par in football as well given the athletic and sporting talent generally found in the country.
