What do you think about the Big Three ICC proposal?

Postby mikesiva » Tue Jan 21, 2014 7:28 pm

This proposal put forward by the BCCI, ECB and Cricket Australia gives more power, influence and income into their hands, and further marginalises the other seven Test-playing teams....

Is it a bad move? Or does it just confirm what is already the status quo?
Nobody has a stance quite like the mighty Shivnarine....

The interesting thing is who initiated this study.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

The only proposals I like are two tier test cricket, which will preserve the future of the long format and retention of the ICC Champions Trophy.

Any financial power should remain with the ICC, the Big Three can still generate more revenue for themselves by having more time to tour.

I voted no, although it has got to the point where there obviously needs to be acharya he with the governance of the game as the ICC consistently appear to be so inept.

Im bored of businessmen running sports, regardless of where they come from or who they represent.... Cricket on an international scheduling is already an absolute mess, and its hardly like any of the big guns have supported BD in coming into cricket, or Zimbabwe as it struggles to pay its players.

To be frank the last few years are becoming over bearing.... the endless Ashes games, the endless meaningless April to May series playing against teams without IPL stars, the endless global tournaments.....

Cricket has reached overkill and people are going to rightfully turn their back on it. How can a sport claim competitive edge when domestic games never have the top players, international tournaments suck quality over even national teams increasingly, and smaller nations are getting anywhere near enough exposure to top level cricket because people are concerned what it would do to batting averages.

So I put I dont care. I watch cricket only in so much that it is a product that interests me still, if cricket becomes something I am not interested in then I will silently slip away and tune into more competitive sports, not mourn the suicide of this one.

I don't like it, but unfortunately I feel that this or something like it is inevitable.

No.

They can take the decision regarding two tiers format, revenue sharing as well as future tours within same committee structure as well.
Test FL's - 8 , ODI and Tests Combo FL's - 1, ODI World Cup - 1, ODI FL's - 7, ODI and T20i combo FL's - 1 ,
T20 Franchisee FL's - 7, T20i Cup FL's- 1, T20 FL's- 5 , 50 Overs Domestic FL's - 1, 40 Overs Domestic FL's- 1

I'd like the ICC to run the game for the benefit of all. As far as I know, the game isn't run to make money for individuals on the boards, and everything is fed back into the game. If the game isn't intended to generate profits, then I don't see why money can't be spread to all countries, giving them the best chance to be competitive, and improve the experience of watching it. Providing they aren't corrupt or wasteful. The people on the boards, are curators, not owners. The corporate nature of sport is a turn off, and goes against what we think our local or national team means. We think they represent a locality and a culture. If that is undermined then we begin to feel manipulated. And loyalty and habit stretches so far, then breaks.
I always say that everybody's right.
