General Cricket Discussion

England women finishing early means I can watch the T10 final.

I like how you linked Afg vs Nepal and not Ind vs Pak

For me it's context. Always been this issue with international cricket. A tournament is great because you have winners and losers. There's A LOT of cricket tournaments that you could just say, well let's not bother with all the meaningless international stuff in between. I'd expect that'd be the preference of franchise owners and people who stand to profit from it.

Personally I'd like matches to have more meaning so that teams are prepared to play their best players otherwise international cricket is a low quality product. We just had India A v Australia A but it's branded as India v Australia so we're supposed to care more but ultimately it's fans that are getting short changed but we still pay the same subs, the same ticket prices to watch lesser sides playing. You don't get that in franchises leagues. Not every match has to have something riding on it but I feel like at least 50% should.

An international T20 league could been one way, a decent ODI qualification pathway. Proper test championship. None of the half-baked options which clearly exist to give the illusion of context to all this bilateral cricket. I would generally favour meeting in the middle. Say 10 best finishers from the ODI World Cup would automatically qualify for the next one (like rugby, like they have done with the T20 WC) and go into the Champions Trophy (which could be two groups of five) played as qualifiers, tri-series. Top three teams from those then go into a final Champions Trophy tournament. Other ten ODI teams could play in a similar tournament for qualification for the next World Cup. Top 4 qualify, then perhaps a play off with the best non-ODI sides with the other six for two more places. Lowest placed teams in that comp lose ODI status (unless a full member of course :rolleyes)

Of course they could just give everyone ODI status like they did with T20s.

It's not like the ICC can't arrange could competitions with meaning - associate cricket is the perfect example, women's cricket too - I love the Ashes points system. Could we not have a mult-format competition instead of the WTC? you can maintain the importance of Test Cricket that way. In my opinion.

Andrew Nixon responded to Bertus' thread which has some good points too.

I like that guy, he has great insights about associate cricket
