You are the cricket public.

You are the reason the game gets money, you are the reason the game is on TV, you are the reason players drive nice cars

You are the game.

Dont even doubt that.

This game is each and every one of us,

So why do we get bent over?

Why are you constantly short changed?

Why, day after day, do international teams not complete their overs?

4 West Indian quicks used to be able to do it.

But teams with spinners cant do it.

This is horse shit.

Its not good enough.

These captains, and their captaincy by numbers, should be able to get through at least, at the very least, 90 overs in the day, regardless of how many wickets are taken.

They shouldnt need an extra half an hour, and there should be no excuses.

Slow over rates are a blight on our cricket, we want to see cricket, not captains running up to chat to bowlers 4 times an over.

This must stop, we the international cricket fan community deserve better.

Let us strike down the evil doers, and show the powers that be that we care, and this disgrace shall stop right now.

Join in our Jihad, your game needs it.


If you the people give us enough signatures, we will take this to the ICC, by any means necessary.
