As a country, we've sent a team to play in a 50 over competition, that don't ever play 50 over games, it's been an absolute joke of a competition from England, but much more of a joke from the ECB.

Still, at least we still have "the hundred" next summer.

India's test side is going to dominate for years.

Said this 2 years ago. After the top 16/20 One Day player who get a game for England, the next 40 don't play 50 over cricket. Now almost all the team are over 30.
 
50 over cricket is coming towards the end.Test matches will be next.England are the only country that gets big crowds for tests or attracts them overseas.Its all about bish bash cricket money talks.
The structure is wrong In the summer Mon - Thurs 4 day cricket.
Fri 50 over.Sat and Sun T20 and the 100.Its really not that difficult.
 
Been to Lancs to watch the 50 over games a few times. I love cricket so I'll watch it, but it's tedious and the game often drifts between 20-40 overs.
Interestingly I went with some friends to one game and the first thing they said was 'where's the music, the pyrotechnics?'

Blimey I'm getting old!!!!!!!!!!
 
Just 20/20 and test match cricket does me 50 over cricket is boring unless in the last 10 overs it's tight game it rarely is

ODI 50 over cricket is needed more than 20/20 or the hundred for Cricketing reasons and not just over entertainment for fans, Yes I get the reasons why with 20/20 and the Hundred, Quick Money, But we have to protect the Sport over Entertainment, Test Cricket Governing bodies has to start saying hold on its a major Sport and we need to get hold of this before we lose players technique with the bat and ball,

Hit or Miss Cricket is trying to creep into Test match Cricket and ODI cricket (Bazball), When Ben Stokes got wiped out vs India the other day everybody took a big breath and looked away, That is what happens when you lose technique and batting time at the crease. it was so ugly, Not only for the England fans and pundits, but the world of cricket was shaken open-mouthed.

Entertainment over Sport, This is what Cricket needs to sort out, Cricket as a major sport or Cricket as a major entertainment like WWE is to Boxing

I love the way South Africa are playing in this World Cup (the Netherlands aberration not withstanding), the team that COULD maybe beat India?
