Can BCCI sack Shastri and Kohli right away? There is no way these clowns should be allowed anywhere near leadership positions in Indian cricket.

 

Both of them are a disgrace and a national embarassment. All because our coach used the tour to promote his book and the captain got the entire team to join the launch event.

Another feather in panoti's cap..

That series win against Australia C will remain his only notable achievement now. He's eternally cursed.

So a series win is now 2-2. If no one is held accountable after this, shame on BCCI

Don't get why no one is holding ECB accountable for the lack of bio bubble.

[Austin 3:!6]

Vikrant is saying Indian players were reluctant to play as they did not want to jeapordise the IPL. Horrible stuff.

[The Realist]

Typical Kohli. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

[adi B]

Because these terms werre agreed BEFORE the series. If india had problems they could raise issue BEFORE and not agree for tour 

 

you cannot cry about what you agreed to before hand

 

They have held many series including football with far mode crowds and never had any issues.

If a terror attack happened on Indian team, do you think anybody will be in a state of mind to play ?

 

This is similar to that. Just because the reports came out negative, doesnt mean they dont have Covid. RT-PCR returns quite a few false negatives. Obviously, the priority for anyone would be their own well being and their families.

 

Why would anyone risk their lives over a game ? This is not war.

It's not even in the same ballpark at all. Some of them have already gotten it and I suppose all of them have been double vaccinated. Not to mention they are professional sportsmen who are not in the risk category for a disease that is still not fatal in most cases. You will get plenty such situations in your career where you will have to decide what is important for you. 

You can theoretically die on the field like Phil hughes did too, khelna chhod denge fir ?

Negligence is from ECB, not BCCI. ECB is the home board. Players have no obligations without bio bubble. Safety is up to home board to assure like BCCI did earlier this year.

Did ECB force the Indian coach to attend the book launch despite clear directives from BCCI to avoid and not go to crowded places?

 

we have literally handed them a series equalisers without them having to even bowl a ball just because a stupid book launch was very important

F******piece of **** damn

Pathetic. Optics look awful if all happily playing in IPL in 10 days time when surely the threat from covid increases exponentially..

imo kohli and shastri have robbed the playing public of watching the Indian team to potentially go for the win and win the series. Indian fans and as well as English fans will be rightly pissed off. 
 

this is a farce for sure 

If it’s postponed for couple of days it’s ok as today it could be washout.

 

As far as IPL is concerned, all India players returning from England do mandatory quarantine as per UAE regulations.
