It seem’s like we are in a movie like those movies that features Tom Cruise, Gerad Bulter and of course Morgan Freeman. A world of no sport this is the world we are living in right now. For those who are from Australia will know that now with the suspension of our favourite game Aussie Rules the drought of sport continues . Sport is important in the world. Look around the world. Sport is what make’s us feel acceptance, love, appreciation and gives hope to many who may not have hope. Looks at sport such as soccer/football people in Brazil crave it and it is escape from their issues that happened in their country what are they going to do now . So with no sport what are we gong to do as people.

This world is looking stranger what does a world with no sport look like. Well for starters people will become less physical and activte as this virus makes the world be more lock up then prisons. Moreover Sport creates jobs for players, club members, fans and pundits. Look at last week as sport was slowly vanishing so was Sport Journalists at Australia’s major sport’s network Fox Sports with the likes of Daniel Garb, Josh Money, Josh Garlepp, Natalie Yoannids all show the door. Not to mention what is are people at Fox Footy, Fox League and those at ESPN going to do. Huge job cuts are the new norm in every place of work as this pandemic effects everything it touches.

For a world with no sport what will it look like, well all those sport channels might be shutdown for a while with replays of what the world use to look like. As a sport’s fan right now it hurts to see no sport but must be patience and reasonable and once sport starts up again will must take it for granted and nurture it and let grow back into our society again.

Sport in Australia is our identity as a Australian. Sport is key to our society from the elite sport to amateur sport. Sport is what bring us together and keeps us motivated. As the CoronaVirus effects sport from a local to a professional it proves that sport is something that we should nurture like a baby.

This what been said by local sporting competitions Premier Cricket Victoria in a statement “Cricket Victoria has made the decision to cancel all Premier Cricket finals from this week onwards.This decision has been made in the best interests of Premier Cricket participants and the wider community and to further protect players, staff, volunteers and match officials at all levels of the game plus the wider community during the global coronavirus pandemic,”.

AFL VICTORIA in there Statement

“We are determined to be part of the whole of community response to slow this COVID-19 virus down – and in doing so, help the broader community and our health systems to cope.

Following a series of meetings over the last number of days involving the AFL and all State and Territory CEOs, recommendations have been made in relation to Community football.

Consistent with the decision yesterday in relation to State League football and the national and state talent programs, all AFL and AFL State association managed or operated leagues along with the NAB AFL Auskick Centres programs currently operating or set to begin, will be postponed until 31^st May 2020″.

Those statements were posted today and show’s how much this virus is impacting local sport.

As elite and local competitions are cancel. Our sporting landscape is changing. Lets look at a local level. Local Aussie rules competioms are delay until may that means all those volunteers, helpers and clubs that work hard in the off season are having to work harder to fix issues such fixtures, ground management and fundraising and functions as we as society are trying to work out when can we can go watch our local footy. Now to make it more complex sport like Cricket is in same spot with finals being postpone and first time since the world war there will be no winner of District cricket finals around the nation. Questions are being raised what will happend in 6 months time when it is October and local footy leagues are still playing and cricket will want to move in? Could we see Summer sport play through late march so the footy leagues can finish their final series. What happens to volunteers and those who day and night at associations and clubs? This is the world we live in uncertainty and concern.

On to Elite sport it is hard to understand why the AFL and NRL are wanting to start while other elite sporting competitions such as the NBA, MLB, NHL, EPL, UFEA , Cricket Australia, ATP and WTA have all cancel competitions. It is like the AFL and NRL are higher than anything and which I personality like to see footy play in barren stadiums it would quite contradiction from government officials. Prime Minster Scott Morrison said today “Banning of all gatherings outdoor max of 500 and for indoor gathering 100 people”,. .But as disgrace AFL player Manger Ricky Nixion said a while back quote “Footy will never have a recession”,. So we may have some sport on the weekend but at what cost.

NBA have decided to cancel the regular season over Utah Jazz Rudy Gobert who has tested positive to CoronaVirus. The last time the regular season was officially cancel was world war 2 if you do not count the lockdowns. In other news the AFL are tight lipped on what will be done .

As for Round 1 will go ahead same for the NRL. The Melbourne Grand Prix is still going ahead even though teams are in quarantine . This Virus has effected everyone and anyone this world has just little crazier.

Let’s find out what news is making in cricket this week.

New Zealand have 100 test wins by beating the number one rank team in the world India at the Basin reserve welgtion this win also makes them one nil up in the two match series. Tim Southee and Trent Boult were the pick of the bowlers in both innings with Southee picking up 9 wickets for the match and boult picking up 5 wickets. This test match was also the first for Kyle Jamieson who took 4 wickets in the first innings and made a crucial 44 in the first innings to help New Zealand set up a healthy first innings lead. New Zealand bowl out india and chase down the 10 runs midway though day four to hand the blackcaps one game series lead and make india sweat before the second test at Christchurch next week.

Zimbabwe Vs Bang in Harae is in the balance with Zimbabwe made a light total of 265 with Bangladesh in reply with 3/240 at the end of day two. Bangladesh batsman Najmul Hossain Shanto and captain Mominul Haque have put Bangladesh in the driving with both making half centuries with the captain still at the crease with making 79 and will want to make his 9 century. For Zimabwe captain Craig Ernvine was the best bat for the hosts with making his 2nd century in their total of 265. This match is in balanced with the pitch becoming harder to bat on.

Finally in other cricket news Thailand are the newest nation to play in the woman t20 world cup and lost to the west indies by 4 wickets but made the West Indies work in chasing low total of 76. Thailand now face England in their next game.

Kobe Bryant was seen by many including himself in the best of basketball players of the world. He has this magic and a unique mentality that made him who he was. Kobe was someone who could trust to hit the clutch 3 to win game 7 or was someone who take photos with everywhere fan in the stadium. I think of what Kobe Career was it fuel of greatness and joy for the Lakers but made basketball Global especially in Australia where in classrooms kids who scream out KOBE when throwing a piece of paper in the bin. You made not be a big basketball fan but everyone know Kobe. You know why he is great in his own level . Kobe Bryant will be seen in 20 years time as the greatest all of time and as a hall of farmer and will be remember for his mindset the MAMBA Mentality. This mentality has influence many sports stars includes LeBron, Tom Brady and Shaq . So as Kobe Bryant and his daughter are remember we must as a Human Race must understand that no matter who you are life is important and must be grateful for your life as there will be one of you just like Kobe Bryant. Rest in peace Kobe may lord bless you with all his heart.

This is only theory but cricket in 2050 might be very different to what we know in 2019. So what will change.

The Pitches, Cricket pitches in today’s world have been quite good only for few expectations such as the flat pitch at the MCG and in Dubai but for everyone else cricket pitches have been quite good and created good cricket to watch. In 2050 cricket pitches might be limited with the world warmly rapidly and you guess it Climate change will be huge impact for everyone not just cricketers. For cricketers stake pitches might be more drier and be easier to bat on as could be limited water on it and also if there going to be oppressive heat cricket pitches will crack and make it harder to bat on later in a test match. I am guessing by 2050 there will technology to create cricket pitches that mirror all conditions around the world and make them rain proof.

The bat, cricket bat’s have change since WG Grace and keep changing, you only have to look at the bats that some modern players with big and heavy, I am guessing cricket bats will be still made out wood but could be limited so bats maybe made out of metal as we saw from Dennis Lillie in the 80’s batted with metallic bat. In addition to this bats might be have a perfect middle and we could see ball’s flying in a match in 2050.

The ball, cricket ball’s have been the same for many years so that one thing that has never change but they could change. An entrepreneur out there could develop a cricket ball that could swing for 80 overs and still be shiny even if it was hit to the fence. Also could create technology on the ball to have a camera on it create the ultimate viewing experience for the tv audience.

The Umpire, Umpires are human and do mistakes we all know that because given out on a dodgy lbw or caught behind so with society wanting everything perfect will we soon AI controlling a cricket match and leave the human umpires out of a job this is possible, as we seen now with the DRS more and more people do not trust the umpire decisions and will go upstairs for a decision to be overturned. In 2050 we might see AI umpires controlling a test match.

The formats, TEST ,ODI, T20 These three formats have serve cricket and made the game interesting, exciting and fascinating but these formats might change in 2050. As seen in the UK with their new format call “the 100” this is format cricket is crazy and show’s the ideas of people trying to make cricket interesting for all. We will see end of ODI but saying that we seen the best world cup final in decades so we only know when we get there. For Test cricket the duration of days may change with lot cricket heads saying it should four days not five and more overs in a day from 90 overs to 100 overs like a county game. In 2050 let’s just say the ICC test championship is well dead and test cricket is seen by the pundits as boring and is past the times. T20 this format will thrive and will most watch for cricket in 2050 and must watch cricket as a society we do not like patience and we are a now society as we want things fast not slow so this will perfect format in 2050.

My overall opinion, Cricket in 2050 will be different to when watch cricket now as anything style of cricket is different from each decade for example in the 90’s cricket was quite orthodox with batsman batting for long time and a par score in a one day game was about 240 , now the game is about scoring quickly and captains being aggressive with field placement and how they approach a game, for example a par score in one day match is 350. In 2050 we might see another Steve Smith , Virat Kohli but the style of cricket will be different and the game we know will be different. In addition will laws of cricket change will it be mandatory to wear a helmet will there be no mankad?Also climate change that will huge impact on grounds like Galle, Cape town, MCG, SCG and many more for example Galle is near the ocean it could see huge flooding, Cape town may have no water so they can not make cricket pitch all this will effect cricket. So cricket in 2050 is harder to predict then if the UK will leave the EU or Donald Trump winning the next election.

As we coming to end of the decade of 2010’s here are the best test cricket matches from 2010 to 2019.

2010 India vs Australia in Mohali, this test match went down to the wire with India needing 216 on day 5 chase it down with one wicket left. Australia batted first made a impressive 428 with Shane Waston top score with 126 and next best was now the Australian Captain Tim Paine with 92. Zaheer Khan took 5/94 in Australia first innings. In India first innings they made a impressive 405 with Sachin Tendulkar top score of 98 and was looking like India could win, Mitchell Johnson took 5/64 . Australia second innings was scratchy and only made 192 with Shane Waston made 56 and india bowlers were on with Harbhajan Singh spinning a web and Ishant Sharma bowl well to have India a chance to win the match. India needed 216 off one and half days to bat India were in shaky spot at the end of day four 4/55 , it look like Australia could win, India won the test match by one wicket late on day five with VVS laxman top score 73 and Inshant Sharma made a crucial 31 which was seen at the time won of the best test matches in the modern era.

2014 Pakistan vs New Zealand in Dubai, this is one most saddest test match as this match was played through the passing of Philip Huhges . Pakistan made 351 with Mohammad Hafeez made 197. In reply New Zealand made amazing first inning score of 690 with Brendan Mccullum made a double century and was honour for Phillip Hughes and Kane Williamson made 192 also.

Sri Lanka spinners were the star of the second innings with Rangana Herath took 6/43 to help Sri Lanka to win the test by just 22 runs.

2018 India vs Australia at Adelaide, First time a test series started in Adelaide not at the Gabba and Australia were without Steve Smith and David Warner but put it up to the number 1 test team. India first innings of 250 was help largely by Cheteshwar Pujara magnificent 123. In reply Australia made 235 with hometown boy Travis Head making 72. India second innings was lot better then their first innings with India making 307 with Cheteshwar Pujara making 71 and Rohit Sharma making 70 help in securing a target of 323 for Australia to chase down.

With number 8 batsman Yasir Shah making 100 yesterday at Adelaide in the pink ball test lets have a look at the top 5 number 8 innings in test cricket.

Number 1 Wasim Akram 257 not out. Wasim Akram is know for being one of the best fast bowlers in the world with his amazing swinging deliveries but he could bat and prove it against Zimbabwe in Sheikhupura with 257 the match ended in a draw but quite amazing for number 8 to make a double century. Wasim holds the record I think that will last for a long time.

Number 2 Imtiaz Ahmed 209. Imtiaz Ahmed is the first wicketkeeper ever to make a double hundred and it made in Lahore. He held record for highest score at number 8 for over 40 years until Wasim Akram double century. He made the double century against New Zealand which help Pakistan make a mammoth total of 561 in their first innings.

Number 3 Jason Holder 202. This one is more recent Jason holder the captain for the west indies made impressive double hundred against England at Bridgetown earlier this year. It was quite impressive innings as it was in the second innings and set up a famous win for the West Indies. It is regarded as one of the best innings by a number 8 batsman in the modern era.

Number 4 Kamran Akmal 154. Another wicketkeeper as he made this century against England in Lahore. His century was key to Pakistan’s first inning’s total of 8 declared of 636 and was his overall top score in test cricket.

Number 5 Ms Dhoni 144. One of the best wicketkeeper batsman in the modern era made 144 at number 8 against the West Indies in Kolkata as Dhoni century was a huge help in India making a mammoth total of 7 declared for 631.

Reason 1 The ball swings, That is bad news for David Warner and any other flat track bully batsman and great news for the likes such as James Anderson, stuart Broad and Josh Hazelwood. Swing same as spin make’s the match interesting for all involve it show’s us as viewers if a batsman that does play for his country can bat in all conditions. Let’s be honest we all want to watch interesting cricket not run fest cricket.

Reason 2 Increases Viewership, this test match between Pak Vs Aus on friday will have a bigger audience at the Adelaide then the Gabba test combine for the whole test. People like different and want to different style of cricket look what occur when one day’s game started in the 1980’s people were flocking to watch it now they are doing the same. Cricket has gone the full circle and this test match will see bumper crowds also increase Tv audiences as it is on at prime time.

Reason 3 Different Tactics, this test points out different tactics for each team for example do you declare before stumps on day one to have a crack at the other team with them tried and having field all day with a swinging ball, do you bowl spin during the day time as the ball has seem have no movement at day time . We will see different tactics in use for upcoming test in Adelaide.

Reason 4 Creates patience for batsman , As the batsman who are coming in into night time session makes them learn bat through the night and know to bat slowly and get through the session so they can cash in the day also there a lot of time to bat as could need bat day one they could needed to bat two days. Also with a swinging ball the batsman need to be patience so they can build innings we do not need a run fest but also do not need a test over in 2 days.

Reason 5 Makes for interesting last day’s. Let’s imagine the day night test match in Adelaide goes to the last day with Pakistan needed 150 runs with 3 wickets in hand and Australia take the second new ball under lights now that would be great. The last day has an interesting dynamic as will be under lights so the ball will be swinging and who ever is batting last will need to work for it.
