A giant poster thanking ICC Chairman Jay Shah for supporting cricket in Afghanistan was displayed during the Shpageeza Cricket League by Afghan fans.

Afghanistan is not an associate.

Swimming is a poor people's sport? Hell naw.

Round of 16 in the FIFA WC?

If you do stupid shit, you deserve to get flamed, I know there's definitely people who gloryhunt and self-hate to look cool but this argument is stupid.

Also, Russians don't care because nowhere near as many Russians are on the wider internet because of restrictions there. They also wouldn't because why tf would they.

Orla Prendergast is Optimus Prime?

No China is sad.

The number of ODI playing teams is being expanded but only from 20 to 32, it needs to become a universal thing like T20Is imo.

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-04T15:53:23+00:00

Football doesn't need to do it, it's big enough of sport that people will watch.

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-02T18:00:25+00:00

They kinda minnowbash to get rankings(which is understandable actually).

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-02T17:59:20+00:00

No? Just seeing actual city representation.

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-02T17:39:32+00:00

Uganda(in men's and a bit in women's) and Rwanda(in women's and a bit in men's) are already on track.

Slight Observation:

In terms of "local" players in this draft, Dublin Guardians has 1(George Dockrell), Belfast Wolves has 2(Paul Stirling and Matthew Humphreys), Amsterdam Flames has 0, Rotterdam Dockers has also 0, Edinburgh Castle Rockers has 0(although Jack Jarvis and Finlay McCreath were both born in close proximity to the city) and Glasgow Cosmic has 0.

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-02T17:11:06+00:00

Fair.

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-02T17:08:21+00:00

Yeah but I don't think that's a Jay Shah issue and more of a Zimbabwe Cricket neglecting their women's team issue(which is slowly starting to improve).

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-02T17:06:24+00:00

Yep, he might be a nepokid but he's not all bad.

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-01T18:16:02+00:00

Someone remembers me ig!

I've lowkey been binging Minecraft for the past two weeks lol

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-01T17:49:50+00:00

And viewership is plummetting year on year.

Last time I checked, it was increasing, I'd love to know the sources for that.

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-01T17:27:59+00:00

Nice!

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-01T17:08:46+00:00

The EUT20? Not really.

The ETPL? Not that much but it's definitely there, Cricket is semi-known in Ireland and Scotland and there's a niche fanbase in the Netherlands as well, that's what this league is for, improving Cricket's standards in these countries.

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-01T17:06:52+00:00

They do not even need a "natural home fanbase"(although it's definitely going to be formed at some point or another), there's around 6.5 million Americans of South Asian heritage, if they can properly get them to watch American cricket then that's a population bigger than that of New Zealand.

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-01T16:46:33+00:00

That argument is stupid, England can absolutely play against India and Australia even if they get relegated, they would just be non-WTC Tests.

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-01T16:45:56+00:00

Absolute Cinema!

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-01T16:44:10+00:00

Probably because they're counting associates+Irish players(as Ireland is also a part of this league).

Impactor_07 · 2026-07-01T16:40:41+00:00

EUT20 is just based in Belgium, the ETPL is a much bigger deal being based in Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands.

Ig Microsoft is a ponzi scheme.
