Now, four hours before match time, they are making this dramatic announcement?
Like they “eye pass” people or think people don’t have any other plans, just watching cow and waiting to see ball game?
Pathetic.
Very disrespectful of their “strong” fan base in the WI. Not to mention the 100 Million worldwide audience.
Make that 100 million minus One!
redface : sad

They say if you don't bring stuff to peoples' attention, they might not know better or be motivated for change.
A certain professor of cricket here always talked about the abused spouse/children syndrome.
If people don't know better, would accept abuse as the Norm.
Another example.
Savage comes home at a random time, half drunk, lifts up dress, pulls down panties and sticks it in.
"Homemaker" should not only appreciate it with expressed gratitude but must appear to be enjoying it, the abuse.

The moment she sees other options, there will be complaints about Radica, why you leave me and gone, or why no fans left for WI cricket.

This WI Board has made a lot of welcoming, positive changes in just a few months.
Great Job so far.

Hopefully, the previous pathological "Norms" continue to be redefined and adjusted accordingly.
A lot has to be undone.

Btw, thanks!
Better late than never.
Unfortunately, some have to plan their lives and not live depending on Last Minute. Com (wonderful site for last minute deals).

And if they had made the announcement some 3 months ago you'd now complain that it was so long ago that you forgot all about it.

Nuh tru?

I honestly think that it's more than that. I think the selling of these series is a lot harder.
But this has to be in works for a while still. But I fully expect all we series to be on the above mentioned channels.
well Iin India usually Star Sports but guess Ireland aint' a big pull, Fancode showed our regional Super 50
Heck you can even submit a fantasy league team there.

Is that the best Defense?
Or excuses for abuse.

Maan, even a lil pickney can see and feel crap like that what put down. redface


If a schedule is written on the net on various cricket sites or even on individual calendars on smart phones, they can check for themselves.

Bang on!
Ooops, modern cricket terminology is spot on.

However, even the greatest ever (to some) ex WIndies and ex SA coach made an announcement to his loyal worshipers.......

I am in negotiations/discussions with Bangladesh for the the prestigious fast bowling coach position.

We, from poor places, can then understand and empathize.
