Sour Grapes Steve, where were your complaints when Global Tournaments like the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil were scheduled around the European TV Market?
It's not done so for bcci or Indian team. It's for the broadcasters to make money and when they're paying top bucks they're entitled to their demands. It's that money that's funding all the associate nations. So if you want matches to suit uk time, be ok with playing an 8 team WC

Sorry mate but it’s funny that you think that the ICC aren’t smart enough to put highlights on UA-cam. They aren’t behind 😂😂. For the 2019 World Cup, we got plenty of highlights on UA-cam.

But thankyou so much icc for displaying of IPL a scripted tournament in world cup 👏👏
Everything happens what BCCI want thats what ruined cricket. They knew india always wins in group stages so they make ind vs aus earlier so it will create less chances that aus meet them in semi or final. Secondly, It's not a coincidence that india already played 2-3 games on the particular ground where they will play pak and pak havnt played on that ground, even one match. Thirdly, look at the venues india playing against the teams that dsnt have the advantage as india

There people are forever whimpering. What about 1970s, 1980s and 1990s when everything was set to UK timings. No whimpering then because it suited you. Harmison is crying because there was no IPL during his time
Uff these ever brooding english commentators. Even if the pendulum has shifted now towards south asia why cribbing? Till 70s we also bore those cold english BBC boring matches and antics. Whenever England wins their media balmy army go ga-ga all over otherwise only lame excuses all on their platter. Be like Australia instead in accepting defeats gracefully and start appreciating winners.
Will Jacks was in poor touch in IPL except for that one inning. Stopped watching after that, nobody does their homework these days before jumping on a mic.
Have some kind of sensible conversation does anyone from india said that when you guys won 2019 wc when both teams get tie icc announced you guys as champion based on number of boundaries Don't be so arrogant you have to respect decision of icc Nothing wrong Indian subcontinent is the major contributor to icc revenue I hope whatever will happen on Thursday match between India and England everyone will be happy to see desired result I would say for now it's 40:60 towards England as you guys are defending champion I hope India wins but let's see 🇮🇳🏆
Okay ! Let me put my Point here Tell me What amount your so called broadcaster Sky Sports Channel can afford to schedule a match at the ease of timing of your UK time. Don't they right then Just shut up and watch the world cup. Absolutely our Indian broadcaster can afford to pay as high as they can for this.
He just sound whiny like westerners at the airport cause theyre getting searched. Asia draws more revenue so naturally they will cater to them. I men india had to put up with the same thing when it wasnt them before. Ebgland have a good chance with jos butler i dont know if india can beat them
India Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Nepal Afghanistan 6 asia country with the population of around 2 billion watches cricket, so its obvious to have standard time zones for this asian belt
I don’t understand why is it frustrating, the Indian audience calls in the shots for cricket. England and Australia simply cannot generate that much money by their small number of viewers. It’s not rocket science 😂
Then tell other boards to work hard and bring in money on table. If one board is doing all the work to bring money then those broadcasters and advertising company will do things accordingly. So stop this hypocrisy and be practical
Timings are set for the people who are watching and making cricket successful business so just stop crying if you want to change timings start watching more instead of complaining
At the end of the day the ICC and india shenanigans are not new its been hsppening for years so england must go in with the mindset of yes their underdogs but play hard solid cricket for 40 overs and keep in the back of their minds that if they pressure india and go into the game with a fearless nothing to lose attitude then maybe just maybe india buckle under tremendous pressure india may say they are fearless cricketers but with the weight of 17 barren years weighing heavy on their shoulders this game has far more on it for india than it does england who have scraped through and should see this as a free hit if i was jos buttler this is what i would be telling the 11
India generates 70% of revenue for the ICC. Cricket will probably die if India didn't play and watch cricket so cricket adminstrators are forced to pander to an Indian audience
Gee really it's about the Indian population, wow what a revelation, I am so priviliged to be blessed with this new knowledge. 800 million followers compared to less than 5 million in Ausd, Eng, RSA etc. makes sense.
Well not really because lord's is the home of cricket the world's most iconic 5 day venue so it makes total sense its held in england especially seen as its the WTC final its supposed to be a showpiece event where do you want it to be held cuttack!!!!
Haha ..It's an English perception about lords and nobody else believes that . There are more iconic venues in the world and not just lords. It's a prefixing and the same has been done in the case of WC Semis and that's been cried about in English media. About cuttack , it doesn't really matter where you held the game as England always bites the dust everywhere.
@@lukehandley7930 MCBCSullemagga, I don't understand what problem you have got specifically with Cuttack City in India? Why you generalize and target that particular City?
It's a WC organised at 7 venues in 7 independent countries with different time zones. Ultimately the best side will win. Even if every match was at prime time in the UK, very few people would be watching.
It makes sense, of course; the matches will be scheduled in accordance with South Asian time zones as India currently provides the majority of the ICC's sponsorship and income.
It is not to Indian advantage it is for ICC advantage to make money. Our players constantly suffering is sun, they should have got some night matches. And ICC have not payed any attention to travel. How fans are going to travel to other stadiums. They are giving cold food to teams. ICC is making all the money giving terrible pitches. We can’t say ICC favor India. They make money off Indians fans but don’t give anything in return or does not pay attention to comfort of Indian players and fans who are there to watch. See the ticket prices and hotels, travel fare
What should the ICC do if the only major market that happens to enjoy watching cricket is India? Can you honestly say that more than a handful of the English or the Aussies are even aware that a world cup is going on? Should the ICC focus on the 4 guys from England and Australia who'll probably watch the game if there is no football or on India where they know millions will watch it?
I mean, you can't blame the broadcasters when they know that the English would switch to the Euros
Exactly this.
Nope!

There people are forever whimpering. What about 1970s, 1980s and 1990s when everything was set to UK timings. No whimpering then because it suited you. Harmison is crying because there was no IPL during his time
Uff these ever brooding english commentators. Even if the pendulum has shifted now towards south asia why cribbing? Till 70s we also bore those cold english BBC boring matches and antics. Whenever England wins their media balmy army go ga-ga all over otherwise only lame excuses all on their platter. Be like Australia instead in accepting defeats gracefully and start appreciating winners.
Will Jacks was in poor touch in IPL except for that one inning. Stopped watching after that, nobody does their homework these days before jumping on a mic.
Have some kind of sensible conversation does anyone from india said that when you guys won 2019 wc when both teams get tie icc announced you guys as champion based on number of boundaries
Don't be so arrogant you have to respect decision of icc
Nothing wrong Indian subcontinent is the major contributor to icc revenue
I hope whatever will happen on Thursday match between India and England everyone will be happy to see desired result
I would say for now it's 40:60 towards England as you guys are defending champion
I hope India wins but let's see 🇮🇳🏆
Okay ! Let me put my Point here Tell me What amount your so called broadcaster Sky Sports Channel can afford to schedule a match at the ease of timing of your UK time. Don't they right then Just shut up and watch the world cup. Absolutely our Indian broadcaster can afford to pay as high as they can for this.
He just sound whiny like westerners at the airport cause theyre getting searched. Asia draws more revenue so naturally they will cater to them. I men india had to put up with the same thing when it wasnt them before. Ebgland have a good chance with jos butler i dont know if india can beat them
Cry more! 😂
India
Pakistan
Bangladesh
Sri Lanka
Nepal
Afghanistan
6 asia country with the population of around 2 billion watches cricket, so its obvious to have standard time zones for this asian belt
Grapse are sour for sure .....go to airport to welcm your team .....u olways keep crying along with Ausies .....it is in your vains ...keeep cryng
I don’t understand why is it frustrating, the Indian audience calls in the shots for cricket. England and Australia simply cannot generate that much money by their small number of viewers. It’s not rocket science 😂
lol this guy must have been so disappointed to see English team schooled by India..
They made the English team look like grade cricketers lol
Then tell other boards to work hard and bring in money on table. If one board is doing all the work to bring money then those broadcasters and advertising company will do things accordingly. So stop this hypocrisy and be practical
Just one Salty.. m..f#..r…
How does it affect anything. Both teams are playing the same time lol
Timings are set for the people who are watching and making cricket successful business so just stop crying if you want to change timings start watching more instead of complaining
At the end of the day the ICC and india shenanigans are not new its been hsppening for years so england must go in with the mindset of yes their underdogs but play hard solid cricket for 40 overs and keep in the back of their minds that if they pressure india and go into the game with a fearless nothing to lose attitude then maybe just maybe india buckle under tremendous pressure india may say they are fearless cricketers but with the weight of 17 barren years weighing heavy on their shoulders this game has far more on it for india than it does england who have scraped through and should see this as a free hit if i was jos buttler this is what i would be telling the 11
English pundits. What a circus. Unfortunately England has a crap team accept it.
yes India dominates world cricket, so learn that they call the shots like you did earlier. Can smell jealousy 😂😂😂😂
personally, just two words for harmison- ‘WOMP WOMP’
English media and ex-English cricketers are some of the biggest whiners on the planet.
And Liverpool fc have early kick off more than any other team, and EPL does not give a damn.
😂😂😂
Dude I don’t think anyone in England is even watching cricket so stop crying 😂
India beat England lovely see you all crying got full game with the rain breaks
Alas ! England finished on Top after defeating SA in Super 8😂😂
No one in england watches cricket anymore anyways. So it's okay
Audience is India n Pakistan otherwise no viewership.
So if ind and afg gets in final then whole southasian viewers gonna watch in 6 am?
Can anybody here tell me who this Steve Harmison is🤔
Yeah go back to 90s & organise however u want.
Loud mouth was the same during the test in India.
Lol !!! Always crying this harm guy. So sad. Cry more !!
Stop cribbing about timing
no dude we r not gonna watch if it is goin to start at 6 AM..
Matches in india are starting at 6 in thr dawn
India generates 70% of revenue for the ICC. Cricket will probably die if India didn't play and watch cricket so cricket adminstrators are forced to pander to an Indian audience
Very short memory
Gee really it's about the Indian population, wow what a revelation, I am so priviliged to be blessed with this new knowledge. 800 million followers compared to less than 5 million in Ausd, Eng, RSA etc. makes sense.
Cry me a river 😅😅
Last 2 wtc played in UK even when they not in final.
they forget very easy
I dont care, dont remember seeing so many tight games in a tournement before. 280 plays 150 etc is boring as hell.
Guess what ! WTC final should be moved away from England ladies?
Well not really because lord's is the home of cricket the world's most iconic 5 day venue so it makes total sense its held in england especially seen as its the WTC final its supposed to be a showpiece event where do you want it to be held cuttack!!!!
Haha ..It's an English perception about lords and nobody else believes that . There are more iconic venues in the world and not just lords. It's a prefixing and the same has been done in the case of WC Semis and that's been cried about in English media. About cuttack , it doesn't really matter where you held the game as England always bites the dust everywhere.
@@lukehandley7930 MCBCSullemagga, I don't understand what problem you have got specifically with Cuttack City in India? Why you generalize and target that particular City?
BLAME ICC not india. You are like Kapiest blaming victim is too attractive for him to do that.
It's a WC organised at 7 venues in 7 independent countries with different time zones. Ultimately the best side will win. Even if every match was at prime time in the UK, very few people would be watching.
Alas ! England finished on Top after defeating SA in Super 8😂😂
See where cricket would be would be without the Indian market. Harmison would have a lot less work for starters.
India have a fab bowling line up. Case in point to bring in Will Jacks.
Media pundits money ex players all under Indian payroll still choke in finals
It makes sense, of course; the matches will be scheduled in accordance with South Asian time zones as India currently provides the majority of the ICC's sponsorship and income.
money is king 😂😂
We perform great in other sports too
Cricket is a obsession
i don't like the empty stands either
7 in the morning, some of those games
It is not to Indian advantage it is for ICC advantage to make money. Our players constantly suffering is sun, they should have got some night matches.
And ICC have not payed any attention to travel. How fans are going to travel to other stadiums. They are giving cold food to teams.
ICC is making all the money giving terrible pitches. We can’t say ICC favor India. They make money off Indians fans but don’t give anything in return or does not pay attention to comfort of Indian players and fans who are there to watch. See the ticket prices and hotels, travel fare
Simple economics - India generate most money so should be catered for
Hopefully india lose? Now what. Surely sa can beat india sometime
@@clintonjacobson3282 hahahahha butt hurt guy. India run the game and everyone falls in line. When BCCI barks the rest of the cricketing boards oblige
Hopefully india loose????? It's s game
Money can't make you win
How to destroy cricket 101
Problem.
The game can't be for ever one dimension
So what?
I don't even care if ICC is deliberately doing this for Indian audience.
What should the ICC do if the only major market that happens to enjoy watching cricket is India?
Can you honestly say that more than a handful of the English or the Aussies are even aware that a world cup is going on?
Should the ICC focus on the 4 guys from England and Australia who'll probably watch the game if there is no football or on India where they know millions will watch it?
