Is the ASIA CUP a waste of time and energy?

Question

There hasnt been a match that hasnt been one sided.

moreover the timing of the scheduling of matchs and the time of year is stupid, it is absolutely the wrong conditions to play cricket in, as its humid and just too hot.

A lot of the stars like Asif, Akthar, Dravid, Ganguly, Harbajan, pathan, maharoof, malinga, zaheer, aftab, hasan and Sachin aint playing for various reasons, and its made it quite boring.

I would much rather watch Shoiab Akthar bowling to Sachin Tendulkar, than Mortaza bowling to Salman Butt. The fire and excitement aint there.

Bangladesh are pathetic these days, and this current pakistani side without Asif and Akthar is hopeless, infact it is the worst pakistani side since the 60s, Pakistan alway had a great fast bowling unit, but these day even Bangladesh can post 300 against them.

India bowling attack is seriously depleted without Bhaji, Zaheer and pathan, and its looking weak and pathetic. the batting is also lacking consistency in the middle order

Answer 1

Good question, sport should be played for the spectators enjoyment, but is the paying fan getting value for money when a lot of the top players are not involved, and  should the results count in the ratings as the sides are not the strongest a nation can put out?

Answer 2

No. as this is another tournament where teams are trying out their youngsters seeming that one of them might click for example M.S. Dhoni...

Answer 3

Answer 6

No ASIA CUP is not a waste of time as it will prove that which team is more perfect.And if you are saying that it is boring than listen that now all the countries are giving chances to their new players so that they can know what are their potentials.And now the time is of youngsters and T-20 so the game is fast and wild.No one can say that this team or player is weak.
