Wish we had a TGC like channel in India who cover entire spectrum of the game and not just focus on few individuals
Totally agree but I don’t think Indian audience rather ‘mass’ Indian audience can digest the blunt opinion that TGC. Don’t underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. Imagine someone talking shit about Kohli or Dhoni and surviving in social media world.
@@naveenn4768oh please, a LOT of people shit talked Kohli during his century draught, still do.. Mahi probably got his share of doubters and trolls back when he was captain. He's just a much beloved novelty now, everyone loves it he's still around.
And get abused by everyone?
India away to Australia, thats what I live for.❤️ The most significant sporting fixture for any Indian fan.
Asked some really tough questions!! I don’t think anyone in India can ask these kind of questions to BCCI officials…
😂😂 have you ever seen any bcci officials giving interview
Samdhish with Rajiv Shukla go and watch that
@@Shubham_kumar426 Rajiv sukhla 🤣🤣🤣
If Not for Time Zone Problems for Indian audience with BGT in Australia, this Test series would beat lot of white ball series
Most tests are held in the day and a lot of Australians are able to watch tests in India bc it works better re time zones. A test day in India finishes about 11pm AEST where as an IPL match finishes about 4:30 am AEST.
We are kind of past the heartbreak of the final, started enjoying the banter now 😂
If you want BBL to be huge. Your National player have to play in it. Currently it's looks like a Part time competition.
BCCI should be allowing their domestic players to play in t20 leagues. That’s what’s ultimately stopping to these smaller countries from gaining revenue.
Jay Shah knows this, so by refusing to allow Indian players to play overseas, the BCCI is able to retain its power and revenue share.
New Zealand team in it as well....Auckland should have team and south island
A really good podcast guys great listen thank you ❤
Can’t wait to listen to this
Nice conversation. Mike is a great leader !! One out of the 40 million you alluded to and already cheering for Seattle Orcas !!
Here in Canada I am familiar with the Bradman story.
With all due respect to the Afghanistan Cancellations, Im all for them not playing them. But when they start to pick choose when they will and wont play them. It just sends a message of "we will fully support women's right in Afghanistan, but only when it doesn't interfere with our owns needs and wants" (ie world cup points).
Couldn't agree more
If you had so many principles you shouldn’t be playing Pakistan as well because Pakistan and even Australia in some capacity had a hand in creating the monster called Taliban . You don’t get to teach morality when it suits you . I’m with you on that .
Wow.. good one
@@contrarian322 they are not against Taliban, but the decision of Taliban to cancel women's cricket. When the world boycotted South Africa, they did not boycott the National Party, but their policies of apartheid. A cricketing body cannot be making diplomatic decisions about the internal government of another country.
@@TheShounak Well they had no hand in creating an apartheid South Africa but here they are actively responsible in destroying Afghanistan as a country and a society for the foreseeable future . I’m not even discussing the harm they would do by boycotting cricket or sports because Taliban doesn’t care for it . They are happy selling opium . Ultimately comes down to the fact that.. are your principles just for showing off or do you really practice them.
Mike Baird is an exceptional leader and the ideal appointment as Chair - thoughtful and informed.
Great questions. Not many clear answers but not expected, frankly
As a Canadian cricket sports fan I am happy to hear that Mike played in Vancouver BC. There is a significant portion of cricket history in Canada & US that is very little known. Both Canada and US used to be stopover for Australian cricket teams after summer in England in the 19 century. Swing bowling as one historical records puts it was invented by an American Fast bowler.
fair fks to bairdy boi he's very talented at saying things that don't mean anything, with some staunch hand gestures to boot. can't help but get the sense that he spends his entire waking life in meeting rooms, ala plato's cave. but yeh solid innings, negotiated a couple beamers from the boiz, adept on the back foot. fair play
🤣
It’s a shame Cricket Australia couldn’t utilise the month of March and April where we have seen very little rainfall during last couple of years.
BGT series down under is the most anticipated sporting event for an India fan. A little more than the England series in England.
Can’t wait!!!
A softly spoken man
excited For BGT even more than T20WC
Great interview and really enjoyed it until Mike went missing on the questions around the big bash.. politician mode! Lost interest after that.
if your annual earning is above 27000 RS (above 350 dollars annually) than you are not considered poor here. So, the bar is quite low for govt. So, we still have lot of poverty. Stats are misleading.
Bar is definitely not low considering who was ruling us from 2004-14 and how they tried their best to make India's condition worse than some African nations. Its a 140 cr + population country and it not easy to maintain everything and take decisions accepted by everyone unless you are a dictatorship like China where its easy to implement decisions. Seeing all these factors the current govt is actually doing a phenomenal job!
@@mg9854okay job, bare minimum. Not phenomenal. Not much has happened post covid, need to strengthen and emphasise on the education and employment side of things which the govt doesn't care about at all. Obviously they'll win again, but i hope they don't get complacent.
That liberal party training of answering a question without actually answering it is coming through well here.
MP Baird at his parliamentary best here. Watched the whole thing, still no clue what CA plans to do about any of the significant issues facing us. Maybe Keating would've done better 😅
Glad someone mentioned this. This is one of the finest creative arts indeed.
I heard a news that bbl going to add a new team from newzealand was that wright ???? If that wright great . Make it possible winner of bbl and England t20 wining team player a one match every year .
F*** those fools who think you talk about India and IPL for money... What's the point of life if you don't earn while discussing the favourite thing of your life, India is a significant team to talk about...Ignore those bastards....
Disappointing that Australia won't focus more on the Big Bash. Australia needs to program test cricket around the big bash so the best players are available and the big international names will come. In the end it would be great for cricket to have another massive tournament outside the IPL. the Aust cricket calendar needs to be planned out better.
Great watch. Interesting that Baird said we need context for ODI cricket yet the ICC scrapped the Super League!
Can't wait for BGT
Great stuff Mr Baird. Modi is transforming India. Australia and India can be a great partnership in this 21st century. Who knows that’s the next two superpowers.
Cricket Australia organise a series which includes matches for both men and women teams play on point basis and may be triangular series including England
This will promote women cricket in big way
Baird said nothing - just 'we need to work on it' he doesn't seem to have any answers.
BC Australia doesn't hold the whip hand everything is a negotiation. CA is not powerful enough to dictate the direction of cricket without consideration, negotiation and diplomacy.
How are ya Shoeless?
Still not clear on how we plan to address any of the sigificant issues facing our Aussie cricket. Watch these CEO chats every time, they always manage to say not much.
A long chat and he hasnt managed to bring up the future of our womens team and what CA plans to do to keep our womens team at the apex of the world. What they plan to do to improve the WBBL. How we manage the WPL threat. How they manage the icreased work load.
Not convinced that we have answers to the big questions facing our cricket. Seemingly the plan isto cower to India and just make the $$$$ in their wake.
Pitch it up Mike! 😂
I don't want to disrespect any party here but absolute crows feet about his role modelling Cummins comments.
hi boys.. will it be possible to change covers of your furniture. looks like shit on video due to Aliasing.
Get Jay Shaha
You got his number?
He'll need an interpreter and hold Daddy's lil finger😂!!
Bring Jai Shah then post 😏
A rich nation should not share wealth in the name of cricket .
Putting the India in title😂
bc they're talking about India.
To tell you the truth, I didn't quite like Mike Baird, way to much diplomatic,
I know he is a Politician but his answers are not clear to the point, and are vague, keep on going talking and sucking up establishments, and even to countries like India, like who in the right mind would praise Modi who has a track record of being communal, divisive, anti minorities and farmers, supports croni capitalist like Ambani and Adani.
21:02 - you lost one more subscriber guys...lol...
Why bro
no , one cares just switch to some Pakistani poadcast.😂
did not realise that BJP paid Baird too?
Why would you want to interview one of the scummiest former premiers of NSW?!?!?!
first
Modi is a great addition to India’s good to great leaders/PM BUT taking India to where it is today and where it will tomorrow was/is solely on ordinary Indians
Did you say Modi took India out of poverty?🤔 Agree he is a good leader but that is way too much.
Well he did take millions out of property through his schemes but I don't how is it related to the question he was asked 😅
india is more poor now than compared to 2014 btw
And took football to 117 in rankings 😅😅😂😂😂
@@ajaychawla7 How is india more poor now ?
@@ajaychawla7 Stats please? You lot really just speak without any idea of what you're talking about.
I would recommend Australia and England Cricket boards to share their cricket revenues with poor cricketing nations like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, West Indies and Zimbabwe.
So that their corrupt leaders load their swiss bank account. Pakistan get significant amount of share from ICC but doesn’t invest on infrastructure. Stadiums looks awfull.. PCB comes under government that is a violation of ICC rules.
