I love this idea, but in the Pakistan case surely safety is paramount? NZ being penalised for not wanting to be bombed is not a great idea in the long run. The presidential level of security has been breached before, NZ has had their hotel bombed. Not sure why all the focus is saying 'poor Pakistan', but it wasn't exactly fun for anyone involved.

[@geoffreypage9904]

All the talk about the presidential security is missing the point. I imagine the security is very good. It isn't about the NZ team being hurt in an attack. It is about the security guards and regular people getting hurt in an attempted attack on the NZ team.

[@CD-123]

Right

[@muadafzal1328]

Security is paramount and always will be but the handling of the situation by NZC has been poor to say the least. Maybe it's just another counter against the threat, but an official statement by the board stated that the specific nature of the threat would't be shared with any Pakistani officials publicly or privately. Even a minimal threat can justify you abandoning the tour but not sharing the details to counteract the threat and find out how legitimate it was is mind boggling.

What sort of accountability do you want. The council will ensure that the sport is run in the right way by any means possible and that's what everyone wants. And also the national boards will not become non existent, they will exist but it's about the transfer of power from individual boards to an organisation. Look around all the global sports which are run in a better way and then compare it to cricket. You'll get the answers

[@phoenix4977]

@@nishagovil9207 Name a global sport that is run better than cricket please? As for accountability - the problem is apparant from you text itself, 'tranfer of power', it's never a good idea to centralise power from quasi federated bodies into one central body, right now all the boards work under the jurisdiction of their countries, and the people have some control over them through local means, judicial or otherwise, an interantional body will certainly accomplish one thing - it'll end cricket in the last few bastions in the world.

Selling all of international cricket as one big tv rights pacakge isn't a great idea when you consider the difference in economies. For someone in Aus or Eng 40-50$ a month for cricket isn't a big deal but that is an absurd amount for an Indian. For comparison I pay around 15$ for an ENTIRE YEAR disney+Hotstar subscription that Includes full Indian home season plus Premiere League and other entertainment. Same with every player getting around same money. There is absurd amount of difference in living cost in Subcontinent and Aus Eng. A normal salary in Aus is crazy money in India.

[@nishagovil9207]

Different brodcasters are still gonna buy the rights if they think that there is an audience available. EPL is sold as a package all around the world but you can still watch it on hotstar because they have the rights for it.

[@pixelartist1532]

@@nishagovil9207 if different broadcasters are buying it then essentially each country is contributing differently. One day BCCI CA will realize man we have crazy market at home, our broadcasters are ready to pay lot, why not also start playing some bilaterals outside this "unified league" to increse our profit. And basically soon you will be back to the current system. All this unify everything under same umbrella never works when different entities bring different amount to the table.

[@DrDothraki]

@@pixelartist1532 also this unified league would only be benificial for cricket purists. No one else is going to watch India playing in Sri Lanka. Also there's no point in touring Sri Lanka or west indies when the viewership is lesser and theres a huge gap in terms of quality as well.

[@rishabhthakur7559]

International team sport in all sports; is just an active crime scene. Nobody gets paid and people cry when players choose to do things that actually pay them OR you know act like professionals. Gotta feel for the Pakistan players man; they keep touring, get no share in the revenue, their board upends the domestic structure every other year and now after ages whiteys were gonna come and play WITH fans and this happens. But then England has been flipping the bird to all and sundry, personally think we in India got very lucky in 2008, when they did come back to finish the series. On a side note; England and Australia upping sticks and not touring SA was a real tragedy too.

why ur idea sound like communist cricket ?

[@magictricks1647]

the idea of communism isn't bad tho. Like people hate idealistic things but if you want sport to be more competitive and inclusive, you need some way of reducing the power of money. I am a big F1 fan and its the most capitalistic thing, where 4/20 drivers are on the grid coz their dads are billionaires, surely we dont want something like that in cricket? Like I am not shitting on capitalism, I am saying we as society need to look to reform things rather than leading to income inequalities of 1700s France.

[@nsn5564]

The NFL in the US is the richest and most powerful sports league there is, and it is extremely socialist in model and practice. In every detail, like who gets which player and who plays whom. It is designed to avoid rich teams using their power to continue monopolizing resources and becoming all powerful. Socialist ideas are entrenched in many parts of society. Government itself is a socialist idea in concept, a central organization that represents and operates on behalf of all people.

'Too much cricket' ... Jarrod, you'll just have to forgive us normal people for laughing in derision. Fine, let 'em get a Real Job - I'm sure there's plenty of normal folk waiting in the wings who'd fill their spots. 99% of competitive cricketers have a shit day job, and then show up to the their games on the weekend. The trouble is, for people within the professional ecosystem, that they've entirely lost touch with their audience - they're becoming greedy, entitled, and pretentious. They cry 'burnout', and then take comfy sabbaticals for seasons at a time - so hard done by! The 'too much cricket' and 'boo-hoo COVID sucks' bit just doesn't really wash with the unwashed masses who ultimately pay their salaries. The 'I'm a bit worried about getting fucking suicide-bombs by deranged lunatics' bit should probably elicit a bit more sympathy from people like you. The truth is that in the old days people truly did play it for the love of country, and in many ways that's why we watch it too - by losing sight of that and becoming mercenary, the very core of cricket itself is being undermined. In search of the almighty paycheck they hazard the withering and erosion of that paycheck. Unfortunately there are things greater than the silly game of cricket. If pro cricket dies I don't even know if I'd care that much, TBH - I played the game and watched it before that, and I doubt that would ever change for me.
