Beelzebub 2,508 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 T20 franchise leagues are the best thing happened for cricketers individually. Outside the rich teams/institutions most national teams can’t/don't pay players their market-determind worth i.e Pakistani players get paid less by board than Bangladesh. Free market in cricket didn't existed before now it does, that’s telling a player they are worth sometimes double or triple the amount they get paid.

Spike 5,096 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I hate it when people use 'we' instead of the team or nation they are following because in some circumstances it is confusing as to who they are referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by a nickname is different to people being lazy instead of typing an extra ten or fewer letters Calvert-Lewin isn’t a tongue twister, every time I see DCL I think of Daly Cherry Evans for fucks sake, even though the acronym is different.

ScoRoss 799 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Olympic / FIBA basketball is much better to watch than NBA. Only let down by the one sided games when the USA is involved. As mentioned above, the end of an NBA game is horrible viewing. And especially now with TV reviews etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said to him, imagine football players in a penalty shoot-out, sitting next to a table on the pitch smoking and supping pints waiting for their turn to shoot. I know nowadays you are not allowed to smoke in buildings but from what I have seen on tv they (dart players) still sup pints of lager and whatnot, darts, to me, is a pub game and never a sport.

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I don't see much issue in calling golf, chess, darts sports. Terms and definitions become loose over time from their original meanings, that's just languages. They at least have the skill element which makes sport. Can't call them athletes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly there's no point at all to watching games during the regular season. It's a slog and the individual games don't mean anything. Wait until the playoffs. It's like baseball... season's too fucking long and shit don't get real until crunch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were fundamental problems with how the sport was ran, no central executive body, importance of playing surface being an exclusive thing than a unique aspect of the game like in tennis. Why if one player is good in one particular condition it's seen something of being a lesser player? Nadal wins more on clay. Why winning in one particular condition is considered more of a thing than other? The internal politics have also killed the sport in South Africa, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Zimbabwe Ultimately T20 leagues will be the main interest, only international cricket will be played at world championships with Ashes being a Superbowl like event in respective countries. true, our players are forced to do BLM gestures notwithstanding that BLM is a far left anarchist movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said I did get sucked into the Germany run last time as it was super exciting.. They came so close. It's just hard the NHL is so good, the Olympics when it's best on best is some of the most exciting hockey you can watch anything else I've just generally been let down. Also what Tommy said I just haven't and don't plan on really watching any Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
