2023 ICC Cricket World Cup (October/November) - India

Quite a big thing cause he irked a few celebrities off in the process

Sorry, what you said makes no sense. Why should the fear of a few "celebrities" prevent you from saying/commenting what you want to? That's like setting a dangerous precedent. I 100% consider the sacking of Bhogle because AB got miffed as wrong.

AB (Amitabh Bacchan) was just one of the names. As I have mentioned previously, Bhogle's affinity for BD was the sole cause here. While the likes of Ramiz, Ather and Manjrekar are no less biased- for the Indian audience though, hearing poor stuff about our team and then hyping p BD was a clear 'No Go'.

But why should that be a problem? After all it's a sport, right?

But it shouldn't. And by your posts, it appears you are for it too - which is fine. One can have their views but sacking someone because you don't agree with it should be the actual "No go"

Enough banter guys! We've a high profile match at hands. Rooting for babarXI to push AUS to the brink of elimination..
@Umair7 who're you rooting for?

If Aus dropped Stoinis it would've balanced out

I wouldn't try a new spinner at the Chinnaswamy! Shadab at this ground would have made sense.

 

[Skankhunt_42]

Usama inclusion was on the cards. I felt Harris should also be in. Now the tail is long for PAK.

I’m pretty sure you’d say the opposite if Shadab was retained.

No! I'd have stuck with an experienced person tbh! The Mir inclusion could go the other way here.

The batting options are dire bro, Carey & Green are struggling to score runs. Head arm is MIA.

 

[Godamasu]

There should be an award for the worst review taken.

 

[Ahmad94]

We desperately need one big convincing win - a lot of the team seems deflated (at least to me)

Shaheen Afridi is lacking his mojo, Hasan Ali looks like he just wants to get through his overs (at that too at 130 kmph) and Usama Mir has nerves made of paper at the moment.

Warner often scores big when dropped*

that is if the event happens when he's in the 90s
