Full scholarships for what? Not sports. Academics would be the only scholarships they'd get in America. We don't play Cricket and I don't see many Indian baseball players. So if they're smart enough for academic scholarship, they should take it and further their education. Build a good life for themselves, help their family.

Never seen a cricket documentary from this level of colonial mindset before. The moment Indian cricket board gained more voice at the table, suddenly everything has become corrupt and shady. If Australia or England were the country bringing most amount of money and eyeballs to the game, this wouldn't even have been a discussion. Prior to the early 2000s, the ICC seemed content with alternating the presidency between Australia and England in each cycle, without any significant concerns being raised. However, with the rise of a person of color to a position of great influence in cricket, a questionable campaign has emerged to portray this individual as a corrupt politician orchestrating dubious activities behind the scenes, even though he has done nothing new which Football, Baseball or Basktball hasn't already done in their respective leagues like NFL, NBA etc. These 2 never even mentioned that IPL is basically the same model as NFL.

Looks that this prog created out of frustration..

Cricket was popularised in England only during summer when the players and spectators can have a full day's sunbath!! There is a saying that Cricket is a game played by 22 players and 22,000 fools come to watch!! Times have changed in accordance to the fast-paced world standard of living and its total lunbacy to waste 5 days watching a test match which can also end in a draw!! ODIs were the big answer in shortening the game to keep the spectator's interest. It helped when ot was reduced from 60 overs per innings to 50 overs from 1987 onwards. But there again, people cant find enough time to spare and that's when the T20 concept came in and Cricket gathered added interest in many countries as well. Test cricket is dying and the rot has set in and I dont think any other non-Test playing country would be interested to play Test cricket anymore!! This is the truth and has to be accepted whether you like it or not. T20 is the version that will appeal to the countries in the American commonwealth of Nations and this is the only way to garner more and more spectator interest in such countries as well. Regarding Test cricket, the only sensible option is to make it a 60-over innings each for the teams and they can play a second innings as well. This way, the match will be over in 2 days and there will be a result and not a draw anymore and at best the match can end in a tie as well/ But there again there will be a tie-breaker as well Corruption is there in all spheres of activity and all we can do is minimize it with close scrutiny and audit of accounts. Match fixing is to be severely punished and betting should be allowed for added spectator interest Ever since India took over the control of the ICC, the game became more and more popular because Indians, Pakis, Lankans and Bangladeshis live worldwide and they form over 95% of spectator attendance on the field and online. I know the British are not happy with it only from a racist poiunt of view where they now have to toe the line set by the Asians!! Get used to that. Karma time!!

Each match involves 2 teams 22 players but there is also the individual battles between batsman and bowler that makes it so fascinating, 1 trying to outwit the other and then when on top in the battle staying on top.

This is really a story about the selfish preferences of two - I’m guessing elite school - journo kids who want their own preferences for old school cricket fulfilled regardless of what many of the fans were trying to tell them. Could the UK, India and AUS have realized they couldn’t continue to subsidize a sport in other countries that was losing to other substitute choices at home? We aren’t given numbers because the only story these guys want to tell is about test cricket, but it sounds like the faster cricket is a smart move to save a form of the sport to SUBSTITUTES. Sorry guys. I know you wanted to stay in fancy hotels around the world for 5 days reporting on test cricket as we played at Old Eaton, but the unwashed masses also have an opinion and some money now. I lament the loss objectivity in journalism more than test cricket. Go and ask “Why is test cricket dying?” and do not assume all the answers you want ahead of time.

Arrogant Giles Clarke!! Wow!!

hope these jokers are still relevant today. Clearly coudn't digest the fact that India was bringing in money and hence rightly had the bigger say in running of things.

Alas our people here in Australia want to ruin everything positive to spoil cricket! They couldn't accept one day cricket (50 overs) that the rest of the world had been playing for years and thought that they themselves were inventing it in the late 1970s? Not wanting to use the laws and rules that others had been using! One day cricket is about scoring the most runs to win. Not about bowling teams out for bugger all!

This is an open secret. There's nothing new. This is the business of cricket and there's a lot more to it than that meets the eye. You guys invested a lot of time and money in this but you ain't seen the other side of it. The other side of cricket is totally different than what you know. You gotta spend a life time to figure it out. Good luck

This "documentary" starts with a pre determined narrative in mind and goes out of its way to paint that picture. That our beloved noble test cricket is being ruined by these unsophisticated Indians (subtly) and corrupt BCCI. I knew it was super biased when they had a montage of Indian fans all preferring T20 cricket over tests. When reality is plenty of people love test cricket in India and if they wanted to have that viewpoint shown they could have easily found people who said that. The reality is test cricket was dying in the West Indies since the 90s because their kids wanted to be like NBA and EPL players. You can go back and watch the empty stands. Same thing in lot of other countries. World runs on money and its a world built by the west and capitalism. Suddenly to act like cricket should exist in this world of benevolence and social utopia is just bizarre and completely unrealistic. Whats even stranger is the self contradiction. First they start of by saying money shouldn't be the priority. "Cricket should make money to exist, not exist to make money" was the quote I believe. Then they blame the one board which actually makes money for not giving away more money to countries where people dont care about cricket as much.

No value add, felt like waste of time We already know all this. Nothing new tbh
