Neill I live in newzealand Our first class season is seven rounds long which Means each team play each other once and two teams play each other twice. The test series between England and newzealand is pretty much sold out. Test cricket is very important Newzealand John maxted
The reality is that we need to do away with bi lateral series, 5 test match series and replace it with 3 test match series, 2 set of groups of 6, and equal amount of Tests
@@TheOfficialEmiratitbf what are they supposed to do when some teams are playing three test matches in a year and some are playing 14? It’s making the best of an awkward situation
@HkFinn83 it's the bare minimum In a bad situation. At the very least the final should be 2 or 3 match series. Another reason it's stupid is that England host it every year, this is done because no other country can guarantee full stadium for a neutral test match. It's a idiotic cup for an idiotically run sport.
Neil Manthorp has strong anti India views which he keeps spewing up whenever he involves in a conversation. For him, India is the only evil team involved in world cricket and must be punished maximum while other teams should be rewarded for whatever they do.
Thats because they do have a lot to answer for. But I would agree so do Aussie and England. The "Big 3" - who frankly are only good due to money as they are not that good playing wise as the embarrassing series losses by England and India in very recent series against Pakistan and NZ show. India's loss to NZ 0-3 were the worst of all - annihilated by the Kiwis.
@@junk_rig_sailor1698 I not sure from which country you are from but i am sure your team too had suffered embarrassing defeats before. So, no need to talk as though your team is a world beater, one that never loses to others.
@Matt - WTF you are talking about crowd in Eng/Aus vs Asia. There was literally no crowd in Eng vs SL/WI matches in peak English summer. The stadiums were full in India vs BD/NZ matches. Don't BS just becz you want to criticize WTC and think ENG are saving test cricket. Have some logic!
So, earlier in the video, moaning about England getting docked points for slow-over rates, then at 14:10 - suggesting penalties for slow over rates. Come on
So what i got is the fundamental flaw with WTC is that England havent qualified yet. This whinge can only be expected from English men😄. Both finals so far played on english soil but you dint make it. Suggestion is to play better consistent test cricket and qualify?
Poms are shocking, course they don’t like it

Lovely to hear that.
I mean, it's literally just win percentage. It's not that hard to understand.
It already exists in baseball / most American sports.

That’s the whole point of taking the points of them bowl your overs quicker and u won’t lose those points pretty simple
Of course Poms would think this. Never anywhere near it 😂
Mickey Mouse cup, like he says it's the most idiotically designed tournament in sports history. Although it's still important to have.

Australia doesn't want to play Afghanistan in a bilateral series, it is not just India and Pakistan not playing each other.
Without the flawed WTC, test cricket most likely would be reduced to the Big 3 plus two All-star teams (Asian XI and World XI).
Why is talksport not commentating for BGT?
I think they’re all in New Zealand covering the England test.
@Cricketfan20004 ok
I think six innings test cricket will be the future if players with white ball temperament won't change it in red ball game. I think it's doable also
It is flawed not everyone plays everyone SA for example didnt play Australia or India
Id say everyone is not playing enough test matches is a major problem

@@roobanloganathan6498 India certainly isn't that is for sure. Though they are fighting well in Perth and could lead on first innings.

Even if India loses, I don’t mind as they are giving a good fight to the Aussies .

Should go back to stand alone tours without splitting white and red bull squads and have a 16 nation 1 test knockout tournament every 4 years
Bi lateral series are the issue. How many times does india v england really need to happen?
Lame idea split squad is what help test cricket have a stable future. It needs time
Are these guys English? If they are then I'm not surprised at their stuff. England never made it to the finals & they need something to fall back on.
So, earlier in the video, moaning about England getting docked points for slow-over rates, then at 14:10 - suggesting penalties for slow over rates. Come on
You guys are the most boring cricket show ever! Congratulations
Then why are you watching
