Not only Afridi, Pakistan has many match winners: Arjuna Ranatunga

[FalconsForPeace]

Sri Lankan former skipper Arjuna Ranatunga said that his team could likely to get victory in the Asia Cup, but Pakistan has many match winners except Shahid Afridi.
Ranatunga further said that Pakistan would not be an easy opponent and match will be the tough between both teams in the final.

He further said that Sri Lankan board baffled its nation on the ‘Big 3’ issue and if the board coordinated truthfully with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) so then the result would be different in the scenario of international cricket.

That is the point.

Exactly, Big 3 has now turned into a sham, where the Big 3 referees and officials do corruption and hypocrisy SHAMELESSLY at the highest level.

BIG 3 once the other 15 playing nations begin to realise, is a actually an authoritarian big sham.

Before you start criticizing this new system at least see how it works out. There is no doubt that previously ICC working structure almost completely failed in globalizing Cricket and making it one of the major sports in any non traditional cricket playing countries. Lets just see if the new structure manages to make cricket one of the major global sports in future benefitting the game. If it fails then criticize it all you want.

It's easier said than done, though. It's not like the other Nations are all not playing any games and Cricket should have filled that gap. If Cricket-crazy India refuses to accept Soccer in spite of relentless marketing and exposure to all major Soccer Leagues, why will a Football crazy Brazil ever accept Cricket.

Cricket also has some major disadvantages too, as far as marketing it goes. The pitch and weather play a very crucial role in the game and this makes it a seasonal sport in many parts of the Globe, further hindering it's ability to stay in the collective memories of the Sporting public in these areas. Add to it the fact that unless it's a tight contest, the game can get very very boring and devoid of action.
