Yeah. ODI cricket is rubbish.
The problem is that these type of ODI’s are far and few in between! I dont remember a single great ODI match in recent years.Yeah. ODI cricket is rubbish.
DD SportsAre you aware that this game isn't telecasted on TV?
It depends what is classed as a 'great' match. In the last month there's been a 3 run win for India, a 1 run win for New Zealand v Ireland, a 1 wicket win two matches before and a 4 run win by Sri Lanka v Australia.The problem is that these type of ODI’s are far and few in between!

Also it is wayyy tooo long! What happens next? Wow India won a thriller, but what next? Another ODI to follow that has no purpose.
If we want to keep ODI’s relevant, they have to get rid of bilateral series.
Infact both ODI and T20’s should only be played either in Triangular series or quadrangular series.
Like yesteryear’s, there is no rivalries. Cricket indeed has become a gentleman's game.
BCCI conspiracy to make ODIs redundant right as Babar begins to pile up runs in themYeah. ODI cricket is rubbish.

Used to be quite familiar back in mid and early 2010s.
Everything bad that is happening blame it on the Corrupt BCCI.

Ball has been dominating bat more in most of the matches in that time (which is another complaint people have against ODIs). There's been eight 300+ scores in the last 50 innings. And six of them were in the close matches mentioned before. 13 times a team has been bowled out for less than 200.
I don't see how triangular or quadrangular series are any better than a bilateral? It's just more games and more pointless ones. Except in a mini league that no one will remember after a week.
Most of the ODIs being played in the last couple of years have had more meaning than most ODIs (outside of World Cups) have ever had because they are for qualification for a World Cup.
The problem isn't the formats it's the complete lack of structure and meaning in international cricket. This is a problem I've had with international cricket for years. It's one reason I think the IPL and other franchise tournaments resonate more than the majority of international series because there's something on the line.
There's nothing to stop the boards deciding to replicate that at the international level. Creating a T20 League, an ODI league to accompany the WTC. It could incorporate tri-series (this is how World League 2 works). Personally, I love the multi-format points that is used in women's cricket. There's no reason they couldn't have a World Championship that is ran over two or three years, with multi-format series, to replace the Test Championship that maintains the primacy of test cricket by having them as the bulk of the points. They choose not to do anything good because it is all short-sighted money-making rather than something that can actually hold people's interest and ultimately build a global sport.
If ODI cricket or List A cricket goes it'll be replaced by more, equally pointless, T20i bilateral and more franchise cricket.
Is it though?It's not blaming if it's true
