Why are batters trolled for scoring on batting decks while bowlers are celebrated for picking wickets on good bowling decks?
We've seen enough batters getting trolled for scoring big on flat tracks while all the bowlers who pick lot of wickets on good bowling tracks are appreciated and celebrated for bowling well. I've never seen any fan call a bowler as a bowling track bully, it isn't even a thing while flat track bully is used almost every other day.
Would you rather have peak Kohli or peak Bumrah in your team?
Formats - All formats
Conditions - SENA pitches
You only get to have one of either Bumrah or Virat in your team and it'll be the peak version and you'll have to mention your reason.
What makes this interesting is that the stats are not comparable because profiles are different. So the choice would purely be based on their abilities and impact they bring to the team.
What's the most interesting cricket conspiracy theory you've ever heard?
Describe the conspiracy theory that you think is likely true with explanation and the others can either reject the theory or support it with their own versions or explanations.
The theory could be funny and silly too that you believed as a kid and now laugh at after growing up lol.
I've heard people say that the toss in IPL is fixed sometimes. There are time when they don't show if it's head or tails on the camera and they just announce it directly on mic if it's tails or heads. I've also heard that there is a 7 seconds delay between the actual toss and the live stream so the bookies bet by exploiting this time gap too.
Let's make this a master thread for all conspiracy theories related to cricket (India cricket preferably)

This spark should not die down - Ethanol policy should be taken up next
Very very happy that tne protestors succeeded with the movement. There's so much energy and passion in people for holding govt accountable now. Ethanol policy has been shoved down our throats for long now.
People have been facing issues with their old non compatible vehicles with breakdowns, declines mileages and what not. Moreover, even after ethanol blending the prices have not gone down and all the promises that were made were not met.
I hope people start talking more about it and bring the issues to CJP's notice so that we can all take to the streets and make sure we get justice
India won the toss and chose to bowl first against Zimbabwe in the 1st T20i
Delhi Capitals' Abishek Porel To Be Arrested! Kolkata High Court Directs Police Action
Delhi Capitals’ opener Abishek Porel has landed in fresh trouble as a Kolkata court has passed a verdict against him on Sunday, July 19. Notably, the southpaw has been accused of cohabiting with a woman based on an assurance of marriage.
Despite denying the accusations, Kolkata High Court has strictly told the police to urgently arrest Delhi Capitals’ opener Abishek Porel, who is facing several non-bailable offences under the BNS. The judiciary has also ordered the police to seize electronic devices to protect the victim’s identity, as reported by Subahayan Chakroborty.
“The Calcutta High Court has directed police to urgently apprehend Bengal & Delhi Capitals cricketer Abishek Porel (the accused) and seize his electronic devices. This relates to Mogra PS FIR No. 346/2026, which includes severe non-bailable offences under the BNS, including rape and criminal intimidation," tweeted Subhayan
An anonymous lady registered a complaint was reportedly filed against him at Magra Police Station in West Bengal's Hooghly district. The complaint alleges that the cricketer lived with a woman after promising marriage and later failed to fulfil that commitment.
It eventually led to the women registering a complaint against Porel and took the matter to court. At that time, Porel faced no threat because there was lack of evidence and the allegations was required to be investigated by law enforcement authorities.
However, Abishek Porel continues to deny the claims and it seems that he will appeal further to the higher court. At the time of writing this article, there is no statement from Porel's family on the court's order. Neither has the player made any offical remark.

Which one do you prefer?
First in my bloodline to witness a toss getting delayed for this reason
One of the few stadiums in India that has bigger dimensions and gives bowling friendly spicy pitches
Everyone called it rigged just because they produced spicy pitches and hated on it but now everyone is crying about flat IPL pitches and smaller boundaries after India's failure on overseas pitches.
