Complaints have started pouring in since the start of the ICC T20 World Cup, raising questions about the arrangements.

Media reports say that Sri Lanka, South Africa and Ireland are facing logistical problems, due to which Sri Lanka has lodged a formal complaint with the ICC along with South Africa and Ireland, as all three countries are facing problems with travel arrangements and accommodation.

The problems faced by the teams have raised questions about the management of the mega event, as South Africa, Sri Lanka and Ireland faced severe travel problems from Florida to New York.

After playing in the hot Florida weather, Sri Lanka and Ireland had to wait 7 hours for a chartered flight. The teams were supposed to reach New York at 8 pm on Friday, but arrived at 5 am the next day. Sri Lanka had to cancel their morning training session due to the delay, while the Sri Lankan team's hotel is 1.5 hours away from the practice venue.

In contrast, the Indian team has been provided with accommodation very close to the practice venue and the stadium. In addition, the Indian team has been facilitated by keeping more matches at one venue.

An unbeaten 94 from 40 balls by Aaron Jones gave USA a record run chase against Canada in Texas on Saturday night in the opening game of the T20 World Cup.
The USA reached 197-3 with 14 balls to spare. Andries Gous (64) and the 29-year-old Jones who struck four fours and 10 sixes, shared in a 131-run third wicket stand to the delight of the home fans.
Earlier, half-centuries Navneet Dhaliwal (61) and Nicholas Kirton (51) had led Canada to challenging 194-5

The ICC deciding to host a World Cup in a new market and then having a match on at 10:30AM local time to suit the Indian Market is certainly a choice. How is cricket going to make an impact if it's on at the same time as Judge Judy ??

West indies should win the toss, bat 1st, score 440/3 from 20 overs vs Uganda. Simple and straight forward.

The Guy Saurabh Netravalkar ain't a full time cricketer even. He's a engineer at Oracle and doing his job along with cricket. No contracts , no sponsors no big ads or salaries. And he just ended up with figures of 4-18-2 making the new ball talk against players who have been playing day/night for years getting crores of salaries , mighty contracts and thousands of facilities.

This tells you alot.

Ok so since no one is going to say it I will....... how is it fair though that even after their very first match of the tournament, New Zealand was in danger of being eliminated from their group? Something about this scheduling isn't right. By that time other teams from the group already played 2 games. I'm a West Indian fan so of course it worked in our favor but what if the shoe was on the other foot.... just saying
