2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 1 England v New Zealand 5/10 1900hrs @ Narendra Modi Stadium

I wonder what ticket prices are like there? They should be cheaper for the non Indian games just to get the locals to turn up for them.

Better to get a full crowd there paying 10 bucks to watch a game than getting about 10k people there paying 50 bucks or more to watch it.

That was my thought, I’d bet it’s out of reach if the average local. They do the same everywhere, don’t understand it. Full houses make people want to come just for the atmosphere. Then you can slowly raise prices.

Hopefully after work time a few more filter in.

Cheapest tickets are about $19.

How do India Host this again?

 

[Plugger35]

Ravindra getting tonked now.

This is what you get for picking too many part time bowlers.

This is the site for todays match. Cheapest tickets are 1000 rupee which is like $19 but there arent a lot of them at that price. Most of the bays you can't buy a ticket in at all.

The cricket authorities shooting themselves in the feet again, they should be making it as cheap and easy as possible to get tickets.

Indians love their cricket and will still turn up in droves if you make it cheaper and easier for them to get tickets for the non Indian games.

Embarrassing dismissal for Brooks

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

One too many for Brook. Completely threw away his wicket there.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Brook is a deadset pathetic cricketing mind. Just a cowboy with a damn good eye

Indians love their Indian cricket.

 

[Plugger35]

Ravindra buying a wicket there, that was another terrible ball but Brook mishit it trying to smoke another six.

 

[corbies]

Harry Brook with his 2nd highest ODI score. Well done Harry.

 

[Plugger35]

Neesham bowling more garbage.

Indians love their Indian cricket.

They do, they also love cricket in general too but they won't fork out big bucks to watch other teams that aren't Indian.

 

[Santana]

4 second highlight from over 40 years ago... okay

 

[Plugger35]

How did Lisa Sthalekar get a gig for this World Cup, was Mel Jones unavailable?

 

[Plugger35]

Sachin Tendulkar in the commentary box, still rocking the shades like a rock star.

They should get him out on the ground, the Indian fans will turn up then.

 

[Plugger35]

Phillips gets Moeen, another bonus wicket from a part time spinner.

 

[Santana]

Moeen

Ian Smith with his own XXXL shirt.

 

[JimmyBC]

Tendulkar adds nothing as a commentator

 

[Sprout]

Sachin keeping a straight face talking about what a big event this is for India and how special it will be as he looks out over an empty stadium.

 

[Plugger35]

Great batsman but he isn't a great commentator.

He's such a legend though that they won't knock back the chance to get him up there in the box.

 

[worbod]

I fail to see why Moeen Ali is an international player. Did he seriously contribute anything impactful during the Ashes? His bowling averages in all major forms of cricket are higher than his batting averages.

It will be a big event and special when India are playing, not so much when the other teams are playing.

 

[corbies]

Tendulkar adds nothing as a commentator

He's been towing the company line for his entire retirement.

Could probably say he did in his playing days too.

 

[Santana]

They've changed the rules to benefit attacking batting so there is more attacking batting now. Thanks Sachin

No one has played as many Tests as Moeen has as a non wicket keeper without either having a better batting average or better bowling average than him.
