Who is responsible for bad scheduling of World Cup 2019? IPL or Ashes?

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This has been one of the most frustrating World Cup so far because of washouts and uncertainity over the matches. 1999 World Cup was scheduled between May-June. We know why ICC couldn't host it in May but it also seems Ashes is more important than the World Cup.

World Cup in England got sandwiched between IPL and Ashes this time. What's your opinion?

If the World Cup had been hosted in May, it would have been even worse. The whole of Europe, including the UK had a very wet May. So, even more matches would have been cancelled.

This has nothing to do with IPL.

Bcci

Normally we have a decent weather in may June and July. Just this year it's been bad

 

[Itachi]

Don't know the reason. But it a common practice to blame BCCI so blame them.

Should’ve held the Ashes first. By now two test matches could’ve been played already.

If it was going to be this way, WC first then Ashes. WC should’ve gone to SA. SA would’ve been nice. There must never be a WC in England especially if that year is the ASHES year.

Why bring in Ashes when the target is IPL. Poor ashes is unnecessarily being dragged in.

In 1983 we had the WC here and then four NZ tests, and the weather was great throughout.

The scheduling is fine, but we had unseasonal heavy rainfall - a month of rain fell in five days.

But then the WC final would be in September and people would moan about massive orthodox swing in the morning and evening dew and how the toss is a lottery and so on.

Why? There's enough time for both.

Massive orthodox swing with the kookaburra white ball? When was the last time you saw that happen?

Never as I haven’t watched an ODI in years.

More reason as to why England shouldn't be a world cup cricket venue.
