What a start it’s been.

Lots of close matches. Very high quality cricket. The diversity is through the charts.

All is great only one thing is missing - Bangladesh cricket team, sadly.

Politics ruined it for them.

In fact there is a rift between BCB and Bangladeshi players, if ICC conducted voting, Bangladeshi players voted in favor of India....

Now WC telecast banned in Bangladesh, BCB chairman arrived in Pakistan to enjoy live telecast
 
Lesson to be learn by BCB, you shouldn't have challenge ICC....... anyone thinks BCB cheated by someone?
 
Who wouldn’t miss this?

Bangladesh is not being missed. The tournament has been very good so far and there hasnt been a quiet moment to miss anyone yet.

There is so much commonality between Indian crowds and Bangladeshis. They share the same characteristics of intense passion and deathly silence when the chips are down. Honestly, the Bangladeshi matches in Kolkata would have been brilliant. Unfortunately, Bangladeshis have had less to cheer about in recent times, but thats part of sports. Only those who can withstand the sorrows deserve to share the joys too.

It is a shame politics got in the way.

Hopefully one day the tiger fan, and this Indian transexual guy can watch the match in the same stadium. As cricket fans we need to challenge the powerful ones in charge of the game to make sure it happens.
 
Like them or hate them, their passionate fans does add extra flavor to the tournament. And let's be honest, yeah they would not make it to the semi-final but they are also one of the team that makes a difference who makes it to the semi-final by surprising and getting those off-wins by ruining the chances for some team while other sneaks in cause they lost to Bangladesh.
 
No.

But I feel for the individual cricketers, because playing a WC is a highlight of a player’s career.

The thing is that the political upstarts in Bangladesh - that advisor for example - themselves won’t pay a price for their decisions. The players and the system will.

Speak for yourself. Nobody made you a spokesperson for Bangladeshi players. :inti

There are 6 World Cups every 4 years thanks to BCCICC. Too many World Cups. Missing one doesn't mean much. Also, who cares about World T20? ODI WC is the real WC.

For the record, Bangladeshi board and most BD fans were united in boycotting India (apart from a small percentage of Indian bootlickers).

I am very glad BD didn't come to India. That's all matters. That was non-negotiable. :inti

It shows that Bangladesh fans have zero expectations from their team in this WC, if they participated

The OP asked for an opinion; you have a problem with people giving an opinion, start your own thread.

So you think boycotting a WC isn’t a big deal. Ok.

Two-country hosting will help make the tournament more diverse. Different atmospheres are created and the associates are giving the established ones a run for their money.
 
seeing the quality of teams and the gap between the countries which is not a lot in this format especially on the pitches we are getting, Bangladesh definitely would have had opportunities to shine in this tournament. They should be kicking themselves for missing this tournament to be honest. Next World Cup/ ICC tournament is in South Africa. We all kinda can guess , how that’s going to workout for Bangladesh.

Now Bangladesh will not participate in WC unless they have 100% confidence of lifting the cup

Couldn't disagree more. Even in their mediocrity Bangladesh give plenty of entertainment, and every so often something within them lights up and they suddenly start looking like a real cricket team for a brief moment.

Like the time they played India in the 2022 T20 World Cup, or pretty much any time they play Sri Lanka. Infact, their rivalry with Sri Lanka is the real Asian rivalry instead of the overhyped, one-sided, politically-driven Indo-Pak rivalry. Their match against Afghanistan at the last tournament was an absolute barn-burner and then ofcourse you also see them almost lose to/actually lose to associates which is entertaining in it's own right like in 2023 when they lost to the Dutch, or last time when they had that low-scoring thriller with Nepal.
 
I am a cricket purist. I love Test and ODI.

So, BD missing out on a lousy World T20 (which happens every 2 years for some reason) is not the same as missing an ODI WC.

I think there is only real ICC event and that is the ODI WC. I also think WTC is prestigious. Rest are all fillers (CT and World T20).

For me:

ODI WC: World heavyweight championship
WTC: WWE championship
CT: Intercontinental championship
World T20: Cruiserweight championship

:inti
 
Their absence means West Indies will go through to the Super 8, so yeah ofcourse a potential Super 8 team has been removed from the World Cup.

If you can’t comprehend that you are an Indian.

Morons.
 
No one is missing Bangladesh, lol.
All associate teams are playing twice as well as Bangladesh, and they almost lost matches even after being in winning positions.

Toy Tigers have zero reputation in tournaments, zero impact, and have never played quality cricket.
Minnows are minnows.(n)(n)(n)(n)

Bangladesh match threads not be in this tournament. But their memories will be with us now and always, brother.
 
I have a feeling this is going to be the greatest World Cup ever played and all those who played in it will be remembered for a long time.

It’s sad that Bangladesh will not be part of this cricketing carnival.

The nagin rivalry with SL is no more.

It has died down after retirements of Shakib, Mushfiqur, Angelo, Thisara etc.

The new guys from both sides don't have rivalries. It is now just like any other game.

It simply cannot be the greatest world cup. It is tainted by politics. Did we grow up playing and watching cricket, having fun in the parks as youngsters, or in our cricket clubs, for this kind of cricket where politics reigns supreme, where neighbours who have so much in common are unable to play with each other, where due to political egos the game is coming to a standstill?

This is a tainted tournament and regardless of what happens on field, the off field activities are so sad that is should give fans food for thought. A large cricket mad country unable to play, with nobody but Pakistan seeking justice, and fans themselves getting involved in politics by mocking and belittling the feelings of the victim and giving complex justifications for the actions of the criminal.

Life isn’t always perfect. You never know you’re living in the good old days until you’ve already lived them and miss it when you’re old and things aren’t any better.

A thing isn’t great because it’s perfect. It’s great because of shared experiences and memories. Pleasant and even unpleasant.

But we are told by our resident BD expert that crickets a dying sport in in BD, so how can they be a cricket mad nation?

Doesn't add up dear brother DV. The only victims in this whole saga are Dipu Chandra and Fizz. One lost his life on a spurious unfounded allegation and one his contract as the fall out reaction to behaviour of his jammati countrymen.

PCB are not acting out of principle but fishing in troubled waters for their own agenda. You are a nuanced enough person to realise this all trolling aside.
 
Nope. I love cricket but I think I’ll struggle to name 5 current Bangladeshi players. An absolute NPC like someone pointed out. The new found love for Bangla cricketers and team for Pakistanis is understandable.
 
Even bias aside Bangladesh was never a good T20 side, is never a good T20 side, will never be a good T20 side. They need a format like 1 ball format something like that. May be they can fluke a win here and there.
 
It’s not even about their current stance against India, which very well may change in the future. For a comparison, while Pakistan has historically had a more belligerent stance for obvious reasons, I can even name some of their fringe players who’ve been in / out of their team. They simply have a far more interesting side than Bangladesh and despite Rizbar play more exciting cricket.
 
I guess the home test series white wash also has increased the respect Pakistani fans have for the Bangladesh cricket team. They want to see Bangladesh more. That could be the other thing.

Dying is wrong word probably declining is better to say but there is tens of millions of cricket enthusiasts in the country who have been denied a chance to see their side in the world cup due to Indians hold over the ICC. There are hundreds of Dipu Chandra's or even Daud Chaudrays. in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan every year. I doubt GOI is wanting to be theekaydaar of them all. Sadly It is normal in the subcontinent. In Odisha state a Mr Muhammad was beaten and lynched to death by radical Hindus. His wife is widowed, and destitute. Unlike Mr Chandra the government where he lives is the ones responsible for his lunching. Yet they don't care about Mr Muhammad but next door they are indignant over Mr Chandra. You can spare me the BS about Jamaatis until BJP cancel the contracts of their own Indian Hindu players in solidarity
The actions against Bangladeshis, It is a political situation manufactured by the Indian government. You can tap dance for them all you want. But it doesn't stop it being wrong.
 
I honestly feel about guilty saying this since they're a long-standing cricket nation with hundreds of millions of supporters but they've always been pretty peripheral to these tournaments. I don't actually watch T20 world cups before the knockout rounds and I can't remember watching them at all.

It's sad really. There's so many of them who love cricket.

Yet dear DV Pakistan acts like thekedaars of whole Muslim jammat and is first one to fake outrage something happens to a Muslim in a non Muslim country except China. For once India did the same and suddenly it's poor BD been victimised.

Why are you brushing under the carpet of Bangladeshi jammatis yet comment on right wing BJP, takes two to tango right?

I agree on both Dipu and Fizz being wronged but I guess you are too blinkered or proud or obtuse to call both out and worry more about a cancelled contract.
 
This would've been our strongest T20 side. However, as usual we were in a very difficult group with former World Champions England and WI plus Nepal is no slouch in T20 either. I am not really missing them too much, as this is very relaxing World Cup for me.

I am looking forward to our Test Series against Australia later this year. We will be touring them after like 20 years.
 
Jio Hotstar viewership clocked 50M views for Nepal Vs England match.

But saar without Bangladesh or Pakistan, no one watch Nepal vs England match. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Strongest T20I side maybe true compared to past Bangladeshi sides .

But they are the worst side to play T20 World Cups and are the least likely to upset a Top 8 side.

They have beaten a Top 8 side only 2 out of 30 completed matches in T20 World Cups

That's a terrible record when you
compare with

Ireland - 2 out of 15
Afghanistan - 3 out of 20
Namibia - 1 out of 7
Netherlands - 3 out of 14
Zimbabwe - 2 out of 9

Even the USA have a Super Over win over PAK with only a few matches played against Top 8 sides.

Shockingly, even associates have been more competitive than BD in T20 World Cups

A two match home test series vs Pak is also coming up soon after wc but I get it won’t be as exciting as Aus tour. After the unfortunate whitewash last time around, we got some score to settle here. Normalcy will return.

It is a dying sport because -

1) BCCICC mostly focus on India and don't look to grow the sport. It is always all about India.
2) World Cups are complete farces. India get all sorts of blatant perks (venue perks, scheduling perks etc.). Everything revolves around India. What's the point of World Cup?
3) 6 World Cups in 4 years. Outrageous. How can people remain interested when there are so many World Cups? Greedy BCCICC.

Cricket was a growing and appealing British sport before Dalmiya messed it up with overcommercialization. After Dalmiya, bhakts took over and cricket became even more farcical. :inti

Only way to save cricket now is to free it from Indian grip. There is no other way.
 
Am not as I wanted BD to not to travel to India as there was a major threat to the BD muslim players from the current ruling party’s hindutva goons. Great decision by BD gov, cant risk the lives of the players, staffs plus supporters and journalists.

It's ok for the first time. However, we cant be emotional each time and get ourselves kicked out every time there might be some security threats. Hopefully, this is what Aminul will address in the call with ICC in Lahore.

This may happen again if tournament is in India. I personally think BD shouldn't go to India.

Good news is India are not scheduled to host another ICC event till 2029.

Cricket was actually dying before T20 and money gave it a lifeline so that even teams like Nepal and Italy are playing in this World Cup.

You have no clue about anything have you?

This is case of someone can be poor but still remain happy whereas someone can be rich and yet still unhappy. This is what he is trying to say I think. No point, injecting more money into Cricket if spirit of the game gets ruined due to these rich boards and their politics. It ruins the fun for everyone. Monopoly is never a good thing.
 
I am yes, would have loved for them to be in their original spot. Had a reasonable chance of qualifying in these conditions, Scotland have no chance. Greater fan following, emotional team, would have had some lively matches. Hope to see them featuring in upcoming tournaments.

You think the past was all good old days?

Gambling, bookies, and the proliferation of criminal gangs in the sport began in the English landscape, when England had a monopoly.

I find your posts mostly to be reasonable and of value, so don’t mean to make this response sound harsh.

Which is - that we’re talking organised sport, this isn’t an academic discussion of maudlin sentiment.

Apart from the fact that the BD poster referred to has zero clue about cricket history and even less perspective.

The problem with debating guys like that is that they come from a place of ignorance and refuse to learn

They will play in 2027 WC in sha Allah.

Venue is South Africa. So, drama is unlikely. South Africa is a great venue for ICC events.

You havent missed anything not watching them. The ODI WC game against Afg was highly entertaining though honestly just because of the sheer incompetence of Ban team and how useless they pretty much are..

Yeah you’re right about that bro we’re not seasoned losers :ua So people tend to get frustrated if the team underperforms.
 
Just to be clear, as an Indian fan I, and I think most Indian fans, are embarrassed by the unfair treatment of Fizz.

The expulsion shows only the arrogance, stupidity and sheer ineptitude of BCCI that they have sparked off a sports war.

Unfortunately Bangladesh’s extreme and emotional overreaction is something else altogether, and I won’t discuss it here because that debate already has attracted millions of words.

India’s special relationship with Bangladesh won’t easily be eroded, regardless of events. Here is a picture I recently took at Kolkata airport. It speaks volumes to that relationship. Yes Bangladesh is a foreign country but it still has a special status in India. Long may that continue.
