Let's not go too far. Even as a Brit I can tell you that everyone knows India vs Pakistan is the biggest fixture in cricket and everyone wants to watch it. But it should not be specifically put in tournaments everytime. There needs to be bi-lateral series. Both countries need to grow up, put politics aside and play eachother normally so we don't have to see this fixture fixing in tournaments.

Apart from that yes, England is the only country where the stadium is full in Tests for Neutral teams playing. Say Aus V India are playing or SA V NZ. I can't say the same for India, the stadium would be empty for say SA V NZ. Also Broadcasting wise, it is in the right time zone. Schedule wise, it is one of the few countries which has cricket season in that time of the year. Attendance wise, it can guarantee decent numbers due to immigrant population and convenient travel. I doubt many other countries even want to host a test match. Let's be honest Indians are so keen to tell everyone that the BCCI run the game because of India's population, so if they wanted to manipulate the schedule and when the cycle starts, they could and have it played in their summer. Ever though why they don't? because they know make more money from it being held in England.

Completely agree with all the points raised in this video. The thing that annoys me mostly is how one semi-final has the security blanket of a reserve day whilst the other doesn't. The weather in Guyana on Thursday looks bleak and there's a good chance that England could miss out on their chance to get to the final due to something outside of their control. But because they are playing in semi-final 2 they don't have the comfort of a reserve day. It should be a simple fact that each team has a fair and equal opportunity to progress to the final, but clearly this isn't the case. Surely the final could have been scheduled for Sunday to prevent this problem? Do better, ICC.

I remember the 2007 world cup final, you people worrying about a semi final now but back then the final itself does not have a reserve day for it, between Aus vs SL, i remember at one point when rain and bad light interrupts the game umpires and officials having a chat about calling the game off and announce Australia as the Winners because of the points and wins they scored in the group stages but luckily that didn't comes to that and play resumed shortly but suddenly now it's gaining more attention and turning more heads towards it, just because India and England playing this Semi final only, if England scored more points in the group stages I'm sure it's not became this much big of an issue and a talking topic but It's India having the upper hand here now that's why English and Aussie media having a problem with it, If England is so cross about this Icc rule of not having a reserve day and team with more points in super 8 will play the final rule, why in the world they didn't have a problem with the Icc rule of Team with more boundary count wins the match if the super over too ends up in a tie, why can't they give back there World Cup to Icc, because basically it's a mistake of an rule set by the Icc and at that time it favoured the England team for their benefit, so back then they don't have any issues or problems with Icc rules and they proudly call themselves champions if anyone ask about it they said we won it by the rules of the Icc why are you having issue with it like that, but now it's not in there favour and they starts to cry like they always do but why in the world I'm seeing Indians supporting these biased media persons shitty talks, Don't you people have some basic understanding of their double standard hypocrisy 😶😑

India is used as a profit for ICC , TV audience is the most from Asian countries like India , Pak , Sri Lanka and etc. The ICC made the timings so obvious so that India would be there , it stops no one from sending someone and monitoring the pitches like Ind vs Pak points are gold and England Australia is kept in the same way not due to the profits like India vs Pakistan because the groups have to be fair + 2 good teams per group so that the obvious qualification to the super 8 is seen. The group with New Zealand, West Indies and Afghanistan was the group of death.

Getting profit from India DOES NOT mean they should control cricket. That's corrupt.

England and Australia don't play each other "fairly often" in ICC tournaments. They play each other literally just as often as India play Pakistan. 2015 ODI WC, 2017 Champions Trophy, 2021 T20WC, 2022 T20WC and now in 2024 as well. Every time England and Australia have been put in the same group.

What about England vs Australia match? What about South Africa vs Netherlands who have been a boogey team for them in the past. This world cup is filled with such fixtures, and for super 8 seedings it's because the Islands are separate entities and not a single body therefore they require visas for entering.

I think there is definitely an advantage of getting to play basically all your games either at night or during the day, especially if other teams have to go from late-night finishes to early-morning starts regularly. No other sport would accept this as a fair way to run a tournament, no matter what team you support. Add to that requiring teams to travel excessively while others are allowed to basically set up a base-camp at one ground, lack of a reserve day during the second semi-final, organising the tournament during a monsoon season which robbed some teams of the chance of qualifying (however remote), and giving only one team advanced knowledge of where they will be playing if they make the semi-final... these are fair criticisms to make

I also add getting rid of automatic qualification by ranking, especially for the ODI World Cup. As the full members only play each other outwith World Cups, it makes impossible for associate teams to gain enough points to qualify by ranking even if they outperform full members at the World Cup themselves. We don't see FIFA saying the top 24 teams in the FIFA Rankings only play each other, automatically qualify for their World Cup and then make everyone else scrap for the remaining spots in regional/world qualifiers. We wouldn't see it in other sports either. Time for the ICC to do the same.

As an Indian and Cricket lover I completely agree with India-Pakistan logic And I think all Indians will agree that India-Pakistan matches have no hype compare to what it used to be 10-15 years back

Lol Eng and Australia were ruling cricket for ages and calling out all the shots until IPL brought money to India. Everyone knows the racism that occured when India wanted to host 1987 WC Once India grows, suddenly Ausies and Eng cry foul and talk about equality 🤣🤣🤣

The viewership will definitely have an impact regardless of how 'mad' Indians are about cricket. The question is whether ICC is willing to make that choice in the spirit of sportsmanship?

To wrap up what they said at the end. And please, remember these clowns get paid. 1 - Cannot have India v Pakistan? Why not? It's the only time they get to play and it's always a great spectacle. 2 - "No other sport fixes for TV" the champions league is literally fixed so certain teams cannot play each other. 3 - Pre determined seeds. With the travel around the West Indies it is crucial for teams to have an idea where they are going to be to provisionally book hotels and transport. Cant complain about the groups being easier when Pakistan and NZ bottled. 4 - No reserve day for semi final 2. They had a whole matches worth of reserve time up their sleeve which came in handy. 5 - Questioning tbe integrity of AUS players against Scotland. How dare you?! What a disgraceful thing to suggest any team would ever do that. There was more, but I cant remember what other waffle they had to say

Rivalries are big selling point in any contest. There are several rivalries created or happened are good business for broadcasters. Ind/Pak, Aus/Eng, Ban/Sl matches make good business.

What Vaughan tweeted previously was 1000% correct. India didn't play any D/N matches, it's okay to leave it. But understand you can't see viewership for World Cup tournaments. In that case, you have see the viewership of the opposition team against India as well. See FIFA WC or Euro Cup or Copa America, all matches are scheduled even before the tournament and rules are decided before that. What's the need for Pre-seed when you have points table? Then whats the point in conducting group stage, u can play top 8 teams straightaway. Again leave it. Why India's SF match venue was changed from Trinidad to Guyana. IS that they knew it's raining Or they knew it's a spin pitch and Trinidad is a Green fast bowling pitch??? Why are there different rules for both SF matches?? In the India match, u don't have reserve day, table toppers will go to the final, and Afghan match you have reserve day. Literally, the Afghans sacrificed their venue to India and played without any rest. Rules are common for all teams, too in World Cups and these big tournaments. U can't have different rules for India matches and u change rules after or before India matches. Is this a level playing field for all teams? If u care only about viewership, then stop these ICC tournaments and play only franchise cricket. PDogg is such an opportunist. He didn't even understand what Vaughan mentioned. Vaughan was 100% correct in his point, but these guys didn't post that tweet and posting like nothing happened.

honestly , every team gets a fair share of these things.

And if you look at pitches, india is getting slow pitches now but two years back in 2022 T20 wc, the sena countries got favourable conditions which they are used to whereas india were in alien conditions. why did eng get two easy games against afg and ire to start off 2022 T20 wc when ind aus nz got tough games to start off.

India and Pakistan represent ~22% of world population. We do not have any other platform where we play, and all fans want us to play each other. It definitely makes sense to have this fixed in the fixtures. This is one sport where western hegemony doesn’t dominate, for a change.

BCCI needs to stop hinacking every board and event and help develop cricket instead of centralizing it in India. If India has no strong teams to play against, what is the use for such trophies that weren't won by putting in an effort.

It’s true that the ICC has scheduled India’s matches differently than the rest of the teams. But saying that they did so to favour the Indian team would be a bit silly for even a novice knows that this scheduling was done keeping in mind the interest of the Indian fans not the players. The early morning starts, which is 08:00 PM IST, has helped the broadcasters, who have shelled out billions of dollars to obtain these rights, to attract maximum eyeballs and get a return on their investment. Someone should ask someone like Vaughan and others like him that, if given an opportunity, what would players choose to play - a day game or a day-night match? Vaughan’s biggest complaint is that Team India knew their venue for the semi-final match even before the tournament began. But is it the first time that the global governing body has pre-decided the venues for the knockout matches? The answer is NO! It’s neither the first nor the last. It’s been happening since ages and will continue in the future. The only reason why this issue has become such a huge talking point is because this time the beneficiary is India, not their country. Now, let’s take a look at all the previous instances when the ICC went against the normal process and pre-decided the knockout venues during various multi-nation events. A user named Darshan Sedani posted a thread on X, formerly known as Twitter, detailing all the previous instances when the ICC did the same thing. In the 1992 ODI World, co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, the ICC guaranteed both the hosts a home semi-final match, unless they faced each other, in that case, Australia would host their semis. Later, former Pakistan captain Imran Khan, in his autobiography, would suspect that the Kiwis underperformed in their last league match so that they could get a home semi-final. In the 1996 ODI World Cup, hosted jointly by India and Pakistan, the latter was guaranteed a home quarter-final, unless it was against India. Since Pakistan hosted the final of that edition, India got the quarters and the semis. That’s how India played Pakistan in the quarters at Bengaluru. In the 2011 ODI World Cup, India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh - who hosted the tournament, were guaranteed knockout matches at home venues at pre-decided venues. A lot of ruckus was created when India and Australia, despite winning their respective groups in the league stage, were pooled together in the same Super 8 group in the T20 World Cup 2024.

Btw Ever since India reached the West Indies, they have been playing with 3 spinners.

David Lloyd can ask England to boycott icc

1. Agree with all the points. Personally I would love every team having one match against every other team but total teams should be 10. Have qualifiers for associate nations. 2. What these guys are ignoring is the economics of running the sport & also many teams not as strong as in the past (SL, PAK, WI). NZ usually are regular in semi finals but this time team was not good enough. They never adapted to conditions. 3. Is discussion happening now because England find themselves in this precarious position if it's a washout? 4. It's this same fixing which has made it so easy for Eng. Eng have only beaten 1 Test playing nation (WI) on their road to semifinals. 5. Hope people don't think it's Advantage India all the way. Ind could have been in the same seat as Pak or Aus. What Ind did is it won the matches against good sides while Aus & Pak lost to relatively rookie sides.

I think one of the most embrassing moments in world cricket was England happily took the 50 over WC in 2019 without winning it. You played in England, you had Dharamasena make a stupid decision, ben stokes throw a bat. I don't know if you have any complaints about it> Also coming to your point , I agree its better for cricket but no one is going to watch is the problem , unless India is playing , for instance 2007 wc was a total disaster with both India, Pakistan kicked out in the first round. It was in the same west indies. I don't think India had a huge advantage honestly, because forcing to get played against Australia wasn't good, good we won but anything could have happened. Also ICC is always going to be in Favor of Eng, Aus and India, India mainly because of the money but England have been favored countless times and Aussies were given a free pass in 99 wc against South Africa. I mean overall cricket has become about money long back, so nothing else to say

Disagree with almost everything. Despite the India vs Aus super 8 being pre-organized at St.Lucia, more than half the stadium was empty. Imagine not knowing where this match was to happen & we’d see empty stands. Island hopping is not easy in the Caribbean with expensive flights & no cruises. Semis will have the same fate. Guyana will see more crowds as India being there was pre decided. Yet the stadium will be part empty. Only thing I agree with is last games for each group should happen at the same time.

Semi final fixture were confirmed for 2022t20 world cup as well. It hurt India in playing unfavorable conditions for them.

Forcibly India v Pakistan game in every ICC tournament is not necessary. If they meet in SF or final that is different thing. Sometimes they play sometimes don't looks fair.

To start with, don’t have some kind of World Cup every year, that’s ridiculous, even thing about this World Cup seems wrong, pitches in New York, schedules of some teams way easier than others, India playing all the day matches, Other teams not knowing where they will play semi finals unless it’s determined where India finishes in their group , different set of rules for both semi finals, I’m an Indian and I’m not happy with how cricket is run, ICC is a joke and it’s hilarious to think that we expect cricket to grow in new countries

Everything happens what BCCI want thats what ruined cricket. They knew india always wins in group stages so they make ind vs aus earlier so it will create less chances that aus meet them in semi or final. Secondly, It's not a coincidence that india already played 2-3 games on the particular ground where they will play pak and pak havnt played on that ground, even one match. Thirdly, look at the venues india playing against the teams that dsnt have the advantage as india. Thats why they couldnt win any trophies in 11 yrs as they cheats

Agreed. It's too repetitive. Would like to see india new Zealand USA Nepal westindies in one group for example next time.

Yes, as an Indian I will watch any game of India in the World cup at any time.

Cricket needs to truly grow so the entire economics of the game isn't dependent on 1 nation. 😕

Live random draw for the group stage (4 pots of five teams based on T20 rankings), final group matches played at the same time, no second group stage, all knockout matches played under the same conditions, limited travel requirements during the group stage.

Big thing is stretch out the world cups. We need the suspense to build up for at least more than a year!!!! The last World Cup (even tho it was ODI) was in October. Also, at the moment, any bilateral series is seen as build up for the next World Cup which diminishes the value of an individual series. Since 2019, we’ve had 3 T20 world cups and 2 ODI world cups in 5 years!!!!! Make the World Cup an event not something that just happens every year.

If there is to be a super 8 again, the teams that go through and qualify should take points accumulated against the teams in the Super 8 from the group stages. South Africa had won 6 out of 6 and if they lost their last game to the West Indies, they would have gone out of the entire tournament. How does that work?

Why call the schedule "Fixture" if it is not fixed.

Indian here, the 1000 pound gorilla that is the BCCI is intent on killing the golden goose that is Cricket. The bigwigs at the top have always been political appointees who have no skill, talent or genuine love for the game but dictate terms with regards to how the sport is run worldwide. At the moment there are only 3 countries with healthy cricketing eco systems, even if one falls the sport will drift back into irrelevance.
