Best I can do (right now)

1. Yeah I can't imagine a world where financial rules can make anyone happy in Europe.

2. Imn notncaught up on the history of the mls as a structure. Will check that sometime.

3. Again not very caught up on american sports enough to make a comment here. But that is insightful. I know the Spanish system inside and out but this is interesting (in a bad way)

1. Bowlers with wide “open” actions naturally plant their back foot outside the return crease to maintain alignment. Forcing them inward (to stay within the return crease) alters hip and shoulder alignment.

Bowlers may adjust their run-up angle or foot landing to stay legal which is bad for em too.

Banning t20i is impossible and ridiculous! I know many dont like it, me included, bilaterals in particular. But its unnecessary, impossible and brings barely any benefit

YES. IVE BEEN HARPING ABOUT REMOVING AFGHANISTANS TEST STATUS FOREVER!

Players should absolutely have the right to play what they want! Unless they are centrally contracted. In which case, do your job

The history of sport and gambling is heavily intertwined. I don't like gambling either but I really have no clue what to do about it.

Yeah I don't know enough about american sports to talk as in depth as I have about other matters here.

But yes thats the point I was trying to make too. I agree with basically all you said.

Now i know a lil about the mls. And I tried to understand their player registration rules and its all a mind fuck. Absolute mind fuck. So many ridiculous rules that need to be fulfilled making squad building an absolute headache. Still a lotta money in the mls which makes them valuable. And the college system helps too.

Currently salary caps are based on percentage of revenue and the way to enforce em varies.

I think its as good as it gets. An objective cap is just a way of making sure players leave your league for another.

Banning is certainly possible. Just that it would make no differance. Never has banning something stopped it. It would just hide it.

If betting is allowed, you can see trends in the market to find smth sus to find fixing. If if isn't, what happens behind the scenes is anyone's guess. We do it want anymore fixing controversies in cricket. No other sport is as susceptible or as commonly accused of being fixed by the fans themselves as cricket is.

I mean there was a fake league made with actors as players for illegal betting purposes in India! The league was in Indonesia or somewhere (bit actually was in India too). Players were given scripts ball by ball. Cricket is insane.

Also even if you ban em, they will come up as smth else. As a sports app or smth, same company but acting like they aren't a betting company.

So say cricinfo sponsors a team saying we just show news and scores but there heavily advertises their betting app. (This is an example, not literally true) although other companies have done so.

The athletic have gone in depth about this, would suggest checking it out.

Or again, Jarrod Kimber.

I agree its nearly impossible. But even I'd it were done it would survive.

Say youre a bbl team that loses Hazelwood plus head for example. (Dont remember who plays where, just an example)

Who the hell can replace them.

A player from the same category. But your international spots are probably already picked and the other decent local players are gone too. The drop off from your ream would be insane.

Also depends on who becomes available.

Tis the good stuff

PRIDE MOTH YOU SAY

Other than maria sharapova, let her do what she's doing

Think about cricket fans 😭😭. We're dying here
