Things have changed a lot in cricket; the arrival of Twenty 20 changed the approach and temperament to play cricket. The Indian team has progressed a lot and moved up from there. The Indian Premier League played an important role to filter the best young talent of the country and were given the opportunity by the selectors to perform at international level. It also helped them to perform in pressure and in building a strong mindset to play multiple matches without getting tired.
Similarly, Australia has Big Bash League with a similar format as Indian Premier League. However, it hasn’t helped Australia to groom their youngsters to that extent as it did with India. The Indian team has a long list of options available to choose their openers, wicket keepers, middle-order etc. whereas Australia lacks the quality options with them. They are highly dependent on Steve Smith, David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne in batting.
The temperament of the Australians has also changed after the sandpaper gate. The competitiveness and the confidence that they demonstrated earlier has also been affected. Though in Test, the team still stays at number one position in the ICC ranking. There is a lot to improve in ODI and Twenty 20 formats.

]]>In the past 8 years, Mumbai Indians has won the IPL title 5 times when the winning probability of every team is 1/8. Of course, this team is the best team on paper but isn’t Twenty-20 format the most unpredictable format of cricket? We know that mostly the best team wins in a test or a fifty over format but the chances are less in a Twenty-20 format in which a single delivery can change the outcome of a game. So why it is that every time Mumbai Indians emerges as victorious?
This year, the path was easy as the Mumbai Indians performed exceptionally well and remained at top throughout the tournament but that is not the case every year. In past, the team has struggled to reach to the top 4 but still ended up winning the tournament coming from nowhere!
We can’t forget the last year’s final, a closed neck to neck game with Chennai Super Kings which CSK lost due to an erroneous third umpire decision that took the wicket of MS Dhoni by a run-out which was not out as per the viewers who saw the replay from the television screen. Many such games have favoured the Mumbai Indians team more often than any other Indian Premier League franchise.
The team Mumbai Indians has so far won 5*200 million (1000 million) as the prize money which is quite less as compared to their investment in this league. The brand value of Mumbai Indians in 2019 was estimated to be of 8090 million which is huge as compared to their return of investment. So, we are hopeful to see more IPL Trophies coming to the Mumbai Indians franchise in future IPL finals otherwise why would a team spend so much when the return of their investment is not worthy enough?

]]>The post Is the New ICC Cricket World Cup format a hit or flop? appeared first on .
]]>When the England team destroyed the Afghanistan bowling line up in the recently concluded match of the World Cup, I blamed this new format for this. The question here is for how long a new team like Afghanistan would be humiliated in 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup?
This tournament is played in a round robin format where every team has to play against nine other teams. Due to this, the relatively weak teams like Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have to play their matches against seven strong teams. If we think about the 4 or 5 cricket teams that are comparatively stronger than the rest, then they are also playing their matches against 5 or 6 weaker teams! That means, multiple records will be broken and we would be witnessing more boring matches in this Cricket World Cup. Also, thanks to non-ending English rains for that.
The ICC Cricket World Cup is supposed to be an interesting tournament where every match must be crucial for each team. Every game must be played as a knock-out match for cricket teams.
In the previous seasons, the competition had been quite intense where many weak teams like Kenya, Bangladesh knocked out strong teams from the tournament. This all happened due to the pool playing format where the competition was extremely tough. Every team in each match had the capability to knock out the other based on their day’s performance. This no longer will happen in this format. This Cricket World Cup, each team will continue to play until everyone becomes sure that they are better or weaker than then rest nine teams of the tournament. That sounds boring, Isn’t it?
Such a format (Round robin) works well in a T20 tournament where every game is unpredictable until the last ball is bowled. However, that doesn’t happen in 50 over matches. Here, few games are enough to decide which one is a better team and consistent to perform well. Then why there is a need to keep proving it again for n number of times? Also, the team which is weak, why they have to keep getting humiliated until everyone knows that they are actually the weakest in the tournament.
Below are the advantages and disadvantages of the round-robin format of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019:
Disadvantages:
1. Long and boring tournament.
2. No unpredictability in the tournament. All matches are not interesting and the tournament is becoming quite straight forward.
3. Humiliating to the weaker teams to keep losing.
Advantages:
1. Opportunity for cricket teams to play against every other team and gain exposure.
2. Only the best teams are moved to the semifinals. No scope of others.
3. Opportunity for teams to break more records.
