So when did Bangladesh become good at test cricket?

They're still not

Poo peeland btfo

>Sodhi is statsautist

any got an Irelel V Isis stream?

>UAE
>ISIS

kys my man

Is there a name more kiwi than Inderbir Singh Sodhi

Oatoa Rongutoa

Are Inderbir Singh Sodhi and Doug Bracewell related?

Just a friendly reminder that KKR is the greatest T20 franchise of ALL time.

>both are foreigners funded by UAE

Just came here to post Ish Sodhi is a decent bowler and better than Jadeja, moren Ali, rashid kek even ashwin

They didn't

Ian chapell definitely wouldn't have been in favor of giving them the test status

the only reason they got test status as early as they did was so india would have another vote they owned on the icc

Hmm good point but India could have backed Uae or Nepal for that matter. But I hear ya mate bangla better than those two

Post your pick for new test playing cricket nation
Ireland > Afghanistan> Oman ?

Neither played cricket back then. Kenya were also the better side than Bangladesh by an order of magnitude but they weren't given test status because their population wasn't half as massive as Bangladesh's. Probably was for the best though seeing as cricket fucking imploded there.

I'd consider Nepal over Oman since there's greater local interest, but I guess it comes down to who is good enough at the time. Oman is definitely looking good though, apparently the Arab population are beginning to latch on to the sport.

Apparently cricket's catching on in Malaysia so watch that space too. Papua New Guniea are another one to look out for

Fucking hell, I just looked it up and Kenya still are fielding players from their early 2000s side.

I remember Kenya had couple of good players in Patel and tikolo etc. Don't hear anything about Kenya even in qualifying tournaments.

Among the good upcoming teams ICC should look at US coz that's a massive market and their proximity to Caribbean gives em good options to field. Canada had a decent batting line up as did Scotland.

They lost ODI status a few years back and aren't really in the qualification race anymore.

Someone else here mentioned that Indonesia would be a good market to focus on. It's got a massive population and no real national sport, plus its close to Australia and the subcontinent.
I think it's a waste to try to bring cricket back to America or Canada. That ship sailed long ago.

Scotland are a country that could go a bit further actually. There's slightly more interest in cricket there than in Ireland, although the weather is a problem.

I think the ICC should also try to revitalise cricket in Argentina and the Netherlands. Unlike America there's still a few fans scattered around those countries from what I've read.

Obviously what can be done is limited by money, especially with the ICC propping up dead weight like Zimbabwe. I don't see them improving for quite a long time. Mugabe really fucked them up.

EXECUTE ALL AUSTRALIANS

US, Canada have many people from sub continent and I hear US has some very good competitive clubs who are all coached by former internationals. And these markets are important if You want to truly globalize cricket as a sport.

Netherlands again is a good side and they are one of the few minow teams who have players of local ethnicity which is not the case with most upcoming teams.

I've always wondered is cricket even among the top 5 sports in the UK and Australia ?

The trouble is they're only internationals over there. No actual Americans play and that dissuades more of them from picking it up.

>I've always wondered is cricket even among the top 5 sports in the UK and Australia ?
It's the biggest in Australia, although that's mostly because it's the only sport the entire country follows. AFL is more popular in Western Australia, South Australia, the Northern Territory and Tasmania, while New South Wales, Canberra and Queensland follow rugby league more. It's easily the second sport in all of those areas though and there's no real competition against it during summer.

I don't think it's that popular in the major cities of England, but villages it competes with rugby union as the second biggest sport in villages. It might crack the top 5 in Wales, but I'm not really sure on that.

>Someone else here mentioned that Indonesia would be a good market to focus on.

Probably some long-term LARPer from Bacchus Marsh with a tripcode.

grig is comfortable top2 here, easily top5 in Britain.

Ah good to know cricket's really big in Australia. I think England specially the big cities are very diverse and have people from all across the globe mostly Europeans tho and cricket is not that big in eastern Europe or many countries other than the three

>big TRASH league
>best batsman is a kiwi
>best bowler is a kiwi
>best coach is a kiwi

>NZ is ranked #1 in international T20

Reminder that T20 will be the only format in a few years, and once again BSK's are leading the way

Blackcaps are competitive af but they just can't keep it up at all times. Over the years they've produced players like Fleming, astle, McCullum, twose, bond, vettori yet they haven't won the world cup or been the #1 side

This is pure delusion, I cannot wait to hear your wrong predictions, again, when you predict who will win Super Rugby.

Pathetic.

No, that's you and this facade you try to maintain on an anonymous Japanese website, honestly, I don't know if I loathe you because I feel so much pity for you or if it's for the shame you have brought to your family

>NZ loses so hard their PM an heros
>Sydney Blunder lose so hard their Premier an heros

reminder that the Central Coast, a place with less than half the population of the second smallest market team in the A-League has more premierships than all of worst Australia and poo peeland combined. And no matter how much you say you don't care about wogball, you will always be this pathetic at sport.

Fuck that cunt for turning Sydney into a giant hillsong congregation feat casinos.

I don't feel anything for you or think about you at all. It's too bad Saxshit isn't here to bully you because that seems to be the only time you don't beg for my attention.

why do Sydney people feel the need to complain about literally everything?

Snakes don't hiss anymore... they jus call u Brodie

good thread, nice poomunity

I work in politics. I can tell you for a fact that there is a hell of a lot of glass clanking happening in the party this morning.

Baird was nothing short of an unmitigated disaster as a political leader. The Nick Kyrgios of Premiers, throwing it all away when it was literally harder to lose than win.

The NSW economy is going from strength to strength to strength. Massive surplus. Boom years-tier growth. >We are quite literally carrying this 'continent'.

And then there was the fucking greyhounds "issue". A LITERAL non-issue and he singlehandedly turned it into this governments homeworkgate. The NSW Lib/Nats have two voter bases and Baird delivered an absolute master class in how to piss off the entire spectrum of your base for absolutely no political gain whatsoever. The Orange by-election was the end of him.

No really. Victoria is doing okay I guess. But WA, SA & QLD are on literal pooicide watch. NSW is completely holding up this failure of a Federation. The NSW Libs could have stayed in power for the next 15 years no problem and now the next election will be close, all because of Baird.

NSW secession when?

How's the weather in poorth

is Mike Baird related to Jackson Baird?

flap you lips when you win a T20 world cup

Cool

How's the economy in poorth?

unironically recovering
provided Labor don't win the election and one nation don't take too many seats (this one is unlikely thanks to the Nationals being fucking retarded and losing the most secure voting base in the country) it should recover in 2-3 years

fuck me

*takes a deep breath*

>ticketmaster website is fucked
>can't get a PDF of the tickets

Utter bullshit

>Opting to field

Just got back from a ban for this lads.

>Nearly got the job done
They took four fucking wickets. They didn't nearly get anything. Fuck sake Heals.

Tbh I want Sydney to become a state, or state governments to be disbanded in favour of a two tier system: local and federal.

The whole budget is spent in Sydney.

Well spotted Ian.

I think Stanlank will peform better against the middle order and bowling him this early in the game isn't a great idea

>Steve Shit's reviews

>reviewing that

classy and practical

>being so sure of the umpire's skills that you waste a review as early as possible to increase his confidence

Does Cummings make your handsome XI?

Yep

is that alien

I agree more need to be spent on growing regional NSW

unlimited expansion of Sydney is unsustainable. I'd like to see some big infrastructure spending in Newy and /gong/

who? me?

He used to but not with that hairline anymore

Rural NSW is nearly all catered towards mining though, for instance the Hunter Valley.

Really excited for The Great Wall looks like a cracker of a movie

Yeah im just saying what is happening in Sydney is dangerous

They've pretty much maxed out Westward and Southward expansion geographically speaking. it can already take 90 mins (without traffic) one way if you want to go from one side of Sydney to the other, unironically.

So now what they're doing is massively increasing density. Houses getting knocked down and apartments springing up everywhere like a bad rash without any decent infrastructure to support it. That's why all the money is being spent in Sydney, because they are retrospectively trying to squeeze in some patchwork infrastructure like trams to try and take some of this unsustainable load.

bangs

I don't disagree with you, there needs to be more economic hubs in NSW, but creating a sustainable economy around it is the challenge.

Lots of paki's cheering in the crowd

isn't cricket an insect

Head is fucking abysmal. Why is the Spud bowling him a-head of Maxwell?

Whats goin on in this pic?
