Why Cricket Sucks

[Guest chittimallu21]

Dozens of players in Chess in the 90s.. even more now.

 

ofcourse Carlsen towers above them all, but still there's lots to enjoy among competitve chess analysts, among other players.

 

 

dont you think you are being a hypocrite here?

Agree there. Followed chess quite a bit through early 2000s and it was mayhem. These days I've been quite laid back. Anyway, my point is that it's the same with the rest of the sports too and I for one, am not trained enough to disdain the other

 

Plus, I don't see anyone other than Carlsen raking in all the wins now, so should I exclude myself from watching anymore games give that fact that it is getting predictable and the creme de la creme stick to certain opening moves (maybe)? My current exposure is limited and I could be off-base here

Could you care to post some stats that validate your claim on Pete? I am no big fan of his playmaking, but he did make hay when the competition was limited and ya, Gustavo won French open thrice and never won any of the other major, afair. His stamina was more in tune with clay courts and not grass or maybe Pete was better comparatively. Freak, by standards would be Roddick, Ivanesevic

 

Wawrinka isn't great here and no way would I even consider him to dole out any surprises anywhere.Now, Nishikori, I would agree

 

Rather than comparing Men's champs, it would be good to take a closer look at the current Women's side of things, which are far more interesting and exciting in every way possible 

 

Simple stat. number of slams pete won - 12? 14? I don't remember or care.. but somewhere around that.

 

But now, Federer + Nadal is more than twice slams of Sampras. 

 

you can add agassi too, with Sampras to see which era had more variety in challengers to the top slams.

 

Gustavo brought a special flavour to tennis. And to me, incomparable to any player I've watched. The closest he can be compared to is Roger Federer, but that's only because of similarity of both their games (which was considered freakish in the 90s, and is almost extinct now)

 

Nishikori is a very ordinary player, in terms of variety he brings to tennis. He's what? A hardhitting baseliner? How many such players do we have now

 

Women's tennis should have banned after Mauresmo, Henin retired :) Forgive me, I don't follow women's tennis.

again you are looking just at the result which is a total fail... .there are many things that happen before the result which is what drives the adrenaline of the fans

 

No, I'm not looking at the result.

 

I am saying at how predictable most of the strategies in cricket are. on the team level atleast. There may be some interesting individual tactics that bowlers use in match situations, but it was hard for me to pick out any such in the last game.

 

And this coming from someone who hasn't watched cricket in the past 2 years before Ind-Pak game last week.

 

cricket's rules have changed since I've stopped watching. something about field restrictions. but the tactics remain the same.

 

Now the viewer's experience is limited to predicting which batsman/bowler can come good on which pitch.

How? I'm simply stating that cricket's second tier is nothing to boast about.

already replied for this in previous page.... its you cant predict everything 100%... most of them are hit and miss, some you can and some are coincidence.... this holds true to any sport, be it cricket, chess or anything

But there's hope in Ranji trophy matches, I'm told.

 

Pitch changes in the last two years have brought some  interest back into Ranji trophy, which produces more results than it used to.

 

I've no idea about the quality of cricket though

I've already agreed to that. The problem is worse in cricket, because of the very tiny elite group of nations playing it.
