do you think that ICC must split the test playing nations into 2 groups?

history and tradition is oaky but keeping it to australkia and england is just like saying that the ashes is only for good OLD WHITE BOYS. I think you are right that 2 teams can be added to the tournament based on the top 2 rating points besides the 2 countries.

it is interesting.... there are 2 persons in each team. they will ony bat and bowl. others will field. when they get out, certain runs are subtracted. and team batting second plays entire quota of overs, irrespective of whether thay have achieven their target or not. this is because, even after achieving the target, they can get out and loose runs....

Well it has it's Pros but it also has it's Cons.If LBW decisions are referred to the Third Umpire then Wrong Decsisions will be eliminated from the game.However precious time will be wasted in referring each decision to the Third Umpire as there are many LBW and Runout appeals made in the course of the game.Hence a ODI will last an hour longer than now.Also it will reduce the role of the on-field umpires to just referring decisions to the Third Umpire.So I feel if the Onfield umpires a doing a good job which I believe they are doing then we should just continue wuth the current system and not introduce too much technology in the game.

SURE.\nBUT ICC OPERATES SOFT-HEARTEDLY EXCEPT INDIANS.\n\nIF INDIAN BEHAVE LIKE THAT, THEY WILL BOIL.\n\nAND, 'jitu' TOLD PLAYER IS BIGGER THAN GAME.\nTHAT'S NOT TRUE.\nGAME IS IMPORTANT.AS WE CALL CRICKET IS 'GENTLEMEN'S GAME", PLAYERS SHOULD BEHAVE LIKE THAT.\nAND A TOPPER SHOULD BE AN EXAMPLE.

THE WHOLE LOT ie\n\nBCCI\nSELECTOR\nCOACH\nCAPTAIN\nPLAYERS\n\nMake a fresh selection for each but before that make a criteria for selection for each category.\n\nFor example DRAVID WILL MAKE 10 - 63 RUNS IN 108 BALL, It equivalent to 30 - 180 runs in 50 overs. Such players shall be kept for TEST and not for ODI.\n\nThen make\n\npayment proportional to performance\n\nIf TEAM does not win remove\n2 b'man\n2 ballr\n1 all roudr\n1 wkt kpr\n\nIf team does not win series remove\n\nBCCI\nSELECTOR\nCOACH\nCAPTAIN\n\nAND make selection of NEW TEAM.

i think 4 feilders should remain inside the circle during whole duration of the match.\n   There has been no formal announcement or any review committee to look into the law of powerplays.Till now no scrapping of the rule will take place

Yes to some extent.  Further ICC is always having soft corner to all countries except the ones from asia

Why not? Its only needed a world record 1st wicket partnership and nowadays every other day you are having a new w. recorsd. So it will happen one day. Remember 1st wicket test record is more than 400 runs.

absolutely... many countries (like england) have qualms about touring zimbabwe because of the discrimination, and security situations. their team is selected again based on race. when a country like kenya has reached the world cup semis, we would think they are more deserving. truh is tht zim. maybe the worst cricketing side in the world right now.

20 overs a side match. More or less similar to ODI (50 overs a side). Fielding restrictions are a bit different.

Even Saurav's come back will not help the Indian Cricket Team to win the World Cup. Till Indian team has not balanced in West Indies, so I have no hope. They will come only at Super 8 only according to the current performance.

No one alone can take the thophy for their team.. u can say this about a match but not for a whole series.. for winning the world cup or any other series the team should have to play as a team unit .. from 11 players 1 or 2 players always make a difference in team winning.. but not a particular one in all matches :D

No, it's not a 1-day test match. A Test Match is always a 5-days event. Though 1-day matches are played between 2 countries, but nonetheless they are not termed 1-day test match; they are termed as ODI - or One Day Internaltional matches. Does that answer your question?

I agree with you. If at all he is worlds best batsman, he need to adapt to team's requirement. If he comes two down , ideally after 20 th over and can stay till end to stabilise the innings.

I don't think so, because you will never get every team to play every other team. Some countries play 1-2 internationals per year.\n\nIt is a relative ranking system. Thats why sometimes a team ranked 100 might beat a team ranked 20.
