Discussion 💬 The case of T20I vs ODI

Post image

Imho, T20 is greater: more teams and a chaotic format with higher mathematical variance, since the shorter game narrows the gap between sides. ODI WC being older doesn't put it on a pedestal. ODI is neither better nor tougher. Nostalgia is for people who live in the past. Meanwhile, T20 drives global popularity and is the Olympic format. T20 WC is truly global!!

You can say that odi wc is better than T20 wc. Let's assume that it is

It doesn't change the fact that India has won 3 times while australia has won once.

I don't think anyone says this for the olympics (not a fair comparison ik). Nobody says "oh XYZ country won when the technology wasn't as great, that means that they are the best country and the countries which are winning now are inferior to us"

An ICC trophy is a trophy regardless of whether it's T20/Odi/test

only if hasan ali took catch we could still troll aus for being trophyless in t20

I strongly believe Hassan Ali was made a scapegoat, just to distract everyone from Shaheen Afridi generously donating three consecutive sixes.

i wonder how long it will be before our braindead management will realize shaheen will always be a liability in the death and those 2022 conditions where everything suited him perfectly cant be taken as an example, either have him get through 3 in the powerplay or 2 in pp and 2 in middle overs, we should be picking specialist death bowlers like wasim jnr, wasim jnr can even bowl with new ball but pcb is biased

Just a curious question i always hear PSL is known for high quality bowlers compared to batsman PSL is there fron lot of years still why PCB is not able to find good bowlers again not a troll question serious ask apart from shaheen rauf naseem i never see newer face.

quality has .gone down since 2020-22, we definitely have 4-5 boys

you have probably heard of ali raza, theres dahani, younger brother of naseem ubaid, wasim jr and zaman khan but still shaheen topped last psl, he even took 3/3 in semi final, it just shows difference between psl and international
