How to play international cricket?
It is rather simple to play international cricket, rather much simpler to smart international cricket than national or local cricket.
cricketers are trained at national level by keeping them engaged in zonal matches when the players learn not only skills and tricks, but also the talent to decode the signals form the galleries and play accordingly wince most matches, arranged by ICC or India, are fixed by the nations concerned . In fact who should play against which teams and when and how many series, etc are decided by the nations and the cricketers just do exactly what they are being asked by the "concerned" or mafia.
Who should win and who should be the man of match how may wickets should be offed a particular bowler , etc are also decided by others than the players.
Cricketers, therefore, play just games according to the decisions already made. ( At times that outcomes do go against the decisions)
Policy of give and take 100 plus is customary n cricket matches.
That is how Sachin tendulkars are created by foreign bowlers and fielders w ho also praise these pampered cricketers to add credit to their own fake records.
These days England-India, Australia-South Africa and Zimbabwe-New Zealand are playing cricket, rather joint cricket exercises according to the schemes presented to them, rather than decided at the cocktail parties by the teams themselves. At times the teams decided the outcomes themselves for extra money. .
England should let India win by loo=sing their wickets and asking the bowlers not to target the sumps or LBW or run-outs. India will bat well and bowl rash, but England should not bat well or bowl well to dismiss Indian batboys cheaply as it was done in UK recently when Indians, especially those enjoying life there, cried loudly.
That is to say one team should fail in all departments while the other must be helped to shine to perfection.....
Who should bat first is also generally decided in advance before the match begins that "toss" is just a formality, the winner of the toss does the "needful" strictly accordingly to the plan.
In case one team gets more runs than predetermined while bating first, it must return all those extra runs back to the other team.
