ICC, New Format and the fixing
by on Sep 25, 2007 02:44 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

1.Guys ICC wanted 20-20 format to become popular and accepted by the people.
2. In which 2 countries peoples are crazy about the cricket and which are the two countries with biggest population (and hence biggest market for advertisements) among cricket playing countries: India nad Pakistan
3. Which match as a final has potential to draw largest crowd to watch it: India pakistan world cup final

And that happened. To make new format popular, this event was organised.

Have you observed most of the sponsers of the match were companies who sell product in India: biggest sponser was Reliance ADAG, then there were nokia etc.

Also, have you noticed league match between India nad Pak was drawn. And after that all 3 bowlers of pak could not his the 3 wicket stump(even gali ke bacche hit kar sakte he use). Ok, even if it was by mistake, mistake could be done by 1 not all 3. so, y all 3 missed it in bowl out. Because if only 1 player has missed it, that player would have been in serious trouble in pak. so all 3 missed it.

And even final was made exciting till the last bowl. Thats to show how 20-20 can generate such an excitement.

losers india won on its merit not fixing, pakistan team were praying for a win. misbah was scared to hit the last ball as he does usual because 1 wicket and its over so he chose the easy way backward to score run and got out.

The tragedy of Indian Cricket
a. Bad performances harshly criticised.
b. Good performances attributed to external factors (match fixing)

why???
A million frustrated good for nothing fools who just sit in front of a computer and believe they can do a better job than the selection committee, captain and the team.Where as all they can do is discredit their own team..Anyways, what else can one expect from FOOLS...

Even if it was fixed/scripted - I guess every player on both the sides did their act very well (OSCAR performance) and we got our moneys worth... So let the life go on - guys - Enjoy have fun.

ok guys ,tell me one thing ,ur trying to find logic that match is fixed

1. wat abt six sixes by yuvi that won us the match ,how can u fix that???

2.tremendous hitting by yuvi vs aus how can anybody fix the way yuvi was hiting.It was because of his sheer ability.

3. Explain how we got gud yorkers in against aus in teh death overs?? even though u can fix the match u cannot expect the bowlers to bowl yorkers by fixing the match,

they are many instances like this

if u have sense ucan observe ,we showed lot of skill in all teh matches ,yorkers for rp,bajji, sixes from yuvi,direct hits by uttapa,rohit sharma,come on guys use some brains ..
