Answer 5

after one performace people start to shout.. they/ He are/is  worst, they/ he are/ is best ... i hate about that... and im trying ot pointing out about one thing about commentators.which i observed . that if any batsman smash six or four on a ball bowled by a bowler they starts comments on that like "bad delivery", "ball on wrong line" and  on same ball the batsman out they shouting "what a ball. " or "great delivery". and as i seen nasir hussain shows disadvantage of Review system that (how it would not work )after  michael vaughan caught the AB Devillier.. and i listened him that when someone given out on nick which wasn't, nasir says that the technology should use to minimize these errors.. Y these all commentators did this same time after time...

Answer 6

Some time the poor umpiring make the mess of nice match.

Answer 7

To me, its the fact that too many Test matches do not produce a result because playing time/overs are lost due to bad light. Its depressing as a viewer to see a day's play end prematurely, not due to a thunderstorm or other calamity, but just that umpires believe that the light might be insufficient for the batsmen to sight the ball properly and possibly risk injury, to which the batsmen would obviously agree. I would love it if there was a way to play day-night Test matches, and make the concept of bad light redundant.

Answer 8

No aspect of cricket deserves 2 be hated!

Its the king of games & the game of kings:P

Answer 9

one thing i hate about cricket is the racists comments hurled by one team on the other.it becomes a vicious circle and sometimes the innocent players have to pay the price.

the other would be the use of energy-enhancing drugs to better one's performance.well this is one thing i hate about every sport.

Answer 10

Me too

well the thing is we must understand that sachin is our national hero......he's a true icon.......he came into the scene at 16 n soon within yrs was carrying the burden of expectations of the entire country on his young shoulders....do you even understand wat that means?????

i've played the game at a good level n believe me it's not easy.....even at the level (junior) which we were playin there are soo many expectation from family, friends etc....imagine playing for the nation with a billion ppl expecting you to score a 100 each time you walk out....

sachin tendulkar has scored close to 40000 runs at the highest level....thats mind boggling......do you even realise wat that means......i challenge anyone to score that many runs even in gully cricket , leave alone any other level....

he's a proven champ....has done it for india many times....n will continue to do so in future.....have patience..... show him support for a lil while.......atleast that much we can do for the man who's toiled for your country for 20 long yrs.....

sachin tendulkar is still producing and exhibiting the EXTRAORDINARY STYLISH CRICKETING SHOTS from his willow......

his shots speak of elegance and class........in my opinion the best looking shots still come from his bat even today IN WORLD CRICKET......

BUT, the PROBLEM IS he is getting out to very normal deliveries,due to poor shot selection.......

ordinary bowlers,part time bowlers,mediocre deliveries are getting him out....

once upon a time he was supposed to despatch all such mediocre bowlers out of the boundary line with ease......

BUT NOW HE DISPLAYS HIS CLASS ONLY AGAINST EXTRAORDINARY BOWLERS......he doesn get out to them.......but waits for the part timers to take his wicket...

PARADOX  

Answer 11

Match-Fixing

Thats the main thing I dislike about cricket!

Answer 12

cheating of any type be it drug use, underarm, chucking, umpiring bias, racism, match fixing, selection bias, politics !

best regards!

Answer 13

the one thing i'm starting to hate about cricket is how money and power is starting to make an impact.

Cricket is about the game..the feeling it gives you when you get that century or pick up that wicket.

Money shouldn't be associated with cricket.

Answer 14

Hey - great Q!!

Well where do I begin - well first of all i must say that i hate cheating in any way of form - drug use, underarm, chucking, umpiring bias, racism, match fixing, selection bias, politics like man behind the mask said

Since I live in Australia and go to a cricket match here - i really hate the drunken idiots. They really annoy me. They always ruin a great day.

I especially hate racism and abuse in any way or form - especially in sledging. (Also racism and abuse on Y!A i hate).

I also agree with you when the fans blame Sachin dosen't score - that guy has done so good in the past and contends in almost all World Records and we still expect more!! He's a legend!!

Thats all i can think of for now...
