Much like the UN, the ICC brings representatives from all cricket-playing countries together to make administrative decisions about the future of cricket. Unlike the UN, however, not all countries have an equal input; the ICC decides which members are worthy of “Test” status (Full Members), and which are not (Associate Members). While the Council has experienced many successes, including hosting the prestigious World Cup and promoting cricket at a grassroots level, it also continues to receive its fair share of criticism, predominantly regarding the ICC’s perceived obstruction of the growth of the game within non- traditionally cricketing nations and prioritizing the commercialization of the sport over globalizing it.

  • Is Australian Cricket Racist?
    Is Australian cricket racist? What they said… ‘There wasn’t a match I wasn’t racially abused in when I went out to bat’ John McGuire, an Indigenous player who is second in the all-time run-scoring list for the first-grade competition in Western Australia ‘We have to be vigilant against any comments, against any actions, even though it’s conducted by only a very small minority of people’ New South Wales premier Gladys Berejiklian warning cricket fans against making racially abusive comments The issue at a glance On January 9. 2021, on day three of the India vs Australia test match being played on the Sydney Cricket Ground, India captain Ajinkya Rahane and other senior players spoke to the umpires at the end of play. It was subsequently revealed that they were alleging racist abuse from some sections of the crowd. On January 10, play was stopped for eight minutes following claims of more alleged abuse. At least six fans were removed from their seats for allegedly making racist comments after Mohammed Siraj ran in from the fine-leg boundary, alerting teammates before umpires passed on the message to security and police. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/jan/10/india-report-alleged-racist-abuse-from-scg- crowd-during-third-test A subsequent enquiry confirmed that racial abuse had occurred; however, the six spectators who had been escorted from the stadium were not the perpetrators. https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/12200065/cricket-australia-confirms-india- players-were-racially-abused-in-sydney-six-fans-cleared The incident has provoked significant discussion regarding the extent of racism in Australian cricket.

  • Cricket Australia
    Cricket: Cricket Australia ‘The long term future of the game is dependent upon embracing all people irrespective of their age, gender, race, religion or ability’.1 Much more than a game ricket is very much a world game. The International Cricket Council was founded in 1909 by Australia, England and South Africa. These three founding members have Cbeen joined by seven further full members, 32 associate members and 54 affiliate members. The game now boasts 96 member countries from all parts of the globe. Cricket has been an important part of the Australian way of life for over a century. It is part of our national psyche and firmly entrenched in Australian culture. Famous players like Sir Donald Bradman and Steve Waugh are idolised and some of the great Test Matches – such as the infamous Bodyline series – have become important moments in our nation’s brief history. Cricket is our nation’s main summer sport in terms of participants, spectators and media coverage. However, it is sometimes seen as an exclusive game, one reserved for certain groups in Australian society. Cricket Australia is adamant this is not the case and wants to change this perception. Cricket Australia Chief Executive Officer (CEO) James Sutherland said: “Cricket is a genuinely national sport and for that to continue into the future, we must ensure it remains a game for all Australians to access, to participate and to be involved in”.2 Cricket Australia Cricket Australia is the governing body of the game in Australia. It is made up of six member associations: Cricket New South Wales; Queensland Cricket; South Australian Cricket Association; Tasmanian Cricket Association; Cricket Victoria; and Western Australian Cricket Association.

  • An Economic Analysis of Attendance Demand for One Day International Cricket
    An economic analysis of attendance demand for One Day International cricket Abhinav Sacheti, Ian Gregory-Smith and David Paton Abstract The future of One Day International (ODI) cricket has come under scrutiny following increasing competition from other formats of cricket. We identify trends in attendance demand by examining over 540 ODI matches played in Australia and England between 1981 and 2015. We use fixed effects and Tobit random effects models to isolate key determinants of attendance demand for ODI cricket and in particular the impact of uncertainty of outcome. We find that team strength has little independent effect on ODI attendances, but the uncertainty of the match outcome, as measured by the relative strengths of the teams over a long period of time, increases demand for ODI matches in England. Further, organising the ODI as a Day/Night (floodlit) game has a large positive impact on attendance in Australia. Keywords: demand, uncertainty of outcome, cricket. JEL codes: C23, L83, R22 1 An economic analysis of attendance demand for One Day International cricket 1. Introduction One Day International (ODI) cricket is an important format of the game that allows two nations to complete a competitive match inside one day. However, attendances at ODI matches in some countries have fallen substantially over recent years: for example, attendances in the 1980s in Australia averaged over 35,000 but struggle to reach 25,000 today. The decline has accelerated since the first ICC World Twenty20 International (T20I) championship in 2007. Given the success of the Twenty20 format, some commentators have questioned whether ODI cricket has a future at all1 though notably the 2015 World Cup final between New Zealand and Australia was played in front of a record crowd of 93,013.
