Dhoni would never call out like this but then BCCI did him wrong, so probably

Am I the only one thinking about BCCI this way?- Grapevine

I genuinely don’t feel like we are hosting a cricket World Cup in our country this year. In 2011, the hype and craze around us hosting was way higher. Stadiums were better filled them for other games apart from Indian games, while I saw at least 5-10% empty seats even for the India v Aus game even though everything was apparently sold out in minutes on BMS? 

Is it a PR/marketing problem or is the hype from the sport just not great anymore?

Cricket World Cup not hyped enough this year?

Seems like defeating Pak is more important than winning World Cup

Why so much attention on Pak match

WTH Beckham is doing in the Match Today at Wankhede?

Why Beckham Why?

I’ve been feeling that Hindi commentary has gone to gutter since last few years. The commentators just talk about everything except the ongoing match. I think they don’t have skills to analyse match ball by ball.

Back in the day I had listened to entire India vs Australia test series on a radio where I was able to visualise the shot played, ball bowled, fielding positions, even running between the wicket but now it’s just some chappri level podcast. 

I mean what the f*** man. More so have seen this happening with Hindi commentators only. The English commentary is still decent and great if done by likes of Bhogle or Shastri or Morgan, Utthapa, Hesson, Smith etc. 

Ex-cricketers like Shewag, Chopra, Raina doing this shit 💩 and telling about their days is plain annoying.  Do we Indians especially Hindi speaking population like this cringefest? Is this a potential market which is being addressed by the channels?

Much larger question - Am I the only one who feels like this.

Why even call it Hindi commentary?

Don't you feel there is inbred, slow simmering rivalry among bowlers of our national team

Not healthy competition, pull each other down rivalry 

It was evident in WC final, Shami, Siraj and Bumrah were not putting efforts in saving runs for each other. They were very close to being highest wicket takers 

Now today's match Mukesh had the same look. What he couldn't get in first super over, Ravi Bishnoi made it look like piece of cake in next

I feel we aren't being the team, that feel like Cup winners. Remember Dhoni's era?

Cricket: Tell me if I'm overthinking

You have TV, you have subscription you paid for
Why would you pay 500 to watch with noisy strangers

Why do ppl prefer Live screening of matches instead of watching at home?

What do you think? Comment below the reasons. 

I think too many matches made us lose the interest

IPL lost its charm 🥲

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

From someone in their tech team, got to know very curious insights. 

CrickPe is built on Solidity smart contracts that automatically enforce performance bonuses for cricketers. 

However, the underlying logic is enforced on an ELO based system with log-normal rewards. Essentially, if a cricketer rewards are:

Reward = Expected(reward) +- log(performance). 

Their ELO is similarly adjusted on a match by match basis. 

Also,
Insider reveal is that, VC community is keen on investing and Ashneer is considering raising funds but has made clear that he is willing to liquidate only till he has majority stake in the venture, although aiming at closer to ~75%.

Also, they are experimenting with NFTs linked to rewards that give you insider access to pre-game locker room access with your favourite teams, flying you out to international matches abroad, etc. This will also be tradeable in-app. They are apparently looking for Blockchain Devs/interns for that.

Finally, the biggest news. They’ve apparently launched a bid to get a fan-experience zone specific to CrickPe in the stadiums during IPL. The plan is to sell these tickets at a higher cost. Fans who watch games from this zone get to play a special variant where the highest scorer is given their reward from the MOTM.
