T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

[wasteyouryouth]

Wouldn't claim to be an expert on life in Guyana, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot people might be at church on Sunday morning.

Ticket prices might be restrictive. It's a real shame that there's not more people there.

I don't know why they couldn't have Uganda v Afghanistan now (instead of tomorrow). Then in the afternoon or evening West Indies v PNG. They're having two matches most days so why not have them at the same ground?

Looking at the fixtures there seems to be lots of matches one day after the other at certain grounds.

These are proper boundaries sizes guys at least a 70 meter 6 hit

Bau is playing a decent innings here, West indies won't fancy chasing 150

Sese Bau doing the business for you @CerealKiller

The stadium is empty again, why was this a day game

Same reason why we know which Semi Final India will play if they qualify. ICC wants desi cricket fans $$$ & broadcasters money so f*ck local fans or growing the game or whatever.

With West Indies being unpredictable, either PNG are 20 short or 200 short.

150 could have been a tough run chase, because the unknown with the papa new guinea bowlers

I get they want India to succeed and that most of their fortunes depend upon how well the Indian do, but I have to admit they've done a shoddy work w.r.t the broadcasters.

The only good thing that has come out of this broadcasting fiasco is the fact that the ICC has started showing the games on ICC TV. A more competent Chairman and CEO would have monetized the online broadcast and raked in more money for the ICC.

Imagine if they come back on and the ball starts seaming around in cloudy conditions

For the subcontinent viewers

India, Pakistan games being day games makes sense. Not the others! Doubt people are even remotely bothered about PNG v WI today.

Been saying for years, if I could get all international cricket on a subscription for ICC TV I'd be all over it. I assume most broadcasters wouldn't like this and obviously discourage any potential of it being done. LIkewise the bigger boards might not be able to rake in as much as they do from selling their matches to local broadcasters.

Another shoddy broadcasting where in USA on WILLOW TV they are saying match to resume at 10.15 PM. . Just move all matches to India already!

Funny! Willow has never shown games in India. The only way you can get that channel is via an android box, which is a tad uncommon in the country.
