All talk of physical and mental health thrown out of window, boards just want to bully BCCI

That's the drawback of being so powerful. Jealousy is pervasive in this world due to bcci's stature. 

 

Doubt it's about being powerful or jealousy. 

 

It's the colonial mindset where it's difficult to see Indians refusing to go to work which goras are ready to do.

Kitni baar ye bolte rahoge bhai when none of them are/ were in quarantine. If they are in quarantine, how are they all traveling to UAE?

They are traveling to UAE because they aren't positive, but they couldn't have played test like 4 close contacts from the support staff was not available when Shastri was tested positive. Same way players were also unavailable to play as they could turn positive and spread it to others. Some of the IPL bound players have travelled in chartered planes and they are allowed to travel because of negative report. 

 

Conventional wisdom says ECB by asking them to play was risking their own players too. One more thing, no team would play an international test match without support staff.

Bhains ke aage been baja rahe ho bhai. 

 

Most of them think that players are negative, they can simply do it like it's 9-5 job. 

 

Bas chaar din daudna hi to hai, uske baad hotel me jakar so jana hai. That's what they think cricketers do. 

 

Reverse the role, if English players would be in similar situation, they would be hailing it as higher value for human life.

All mental health debate is valid if they are not playing the IPL… how is playing IPL different from playing a postponed test to next week . … Bottom line is IPL dollars matters for everyone ….  
 

all this garbage on prioritizing test cricket is BS.

 

questions to ask :

1. Would have india withdrawn if the score line was reversed in the series ?

2. If india didn’t want to play 5 tests why agree to it before the tour ? 
3. if india were mentally fatigued why did this not surface out then end of the fourth or third test .

4. If india had tired players , why did the team not rotate the mentally fatigued players ?  India rotates players only when they are physically injured .. they themselves don’t consider mental fatigue as an injury . They had enough players on the bench 

5. if india were mentally fatigued , just let players leave late to the ipl …. So what ???? If test cricket is more important then should prioritize it over ipl .. 

The last straw for players was the Parmar testing positive, Once that happened there was no going back.Who know which players will test positive in next five days and what players will carry that infection to their families.

 

People need to stop bickering about players, players have been in some sort of bubble for last 18 months and India has played most number of test matches than any other team.

BCCI should have played if 11 players tested negative.

Bhai mere, someone in quarantine or self isolation (if identified as a covid positive patient's close contact as per UK norms) IS NOT allowed to take flights - chartered or commercial (despite testing negative) till the completion of the 6 day isolation period. 

 

Chaar din se pooch raha hoon, who were the players in quarantine and if there was any official report around it. Tum wo batane ki jagah baki sab kuch likh rahe ho

That is a chance every team has to take. England also faced  the same conditions.

Why you would want to take that chance, when match was not started, is that important to play that match over health of the players.

 

Shastri along with coaches tested positive during fourth test and India finished that test they did not abandon that test. We are not talking about England here .No one tested positive from English side.

It works exactly as it did now, you cancel the fifth test. Why are people having tough time understanding that fact. We are living in different world now any event can be cancelled at any given time.

They were under the same protocol. Why were Indian testing +ve at  a higher rate? Breach of protocol maybe.

Did the Tokyo olympics get cancelled? Did Euro Cup get cancelled. Too much of your defensive mechanism has kicked in.

They were no protocols, you are asking very ridiculous question. All of them were vaccinated and they are in UK for last three months.

You are reaching for straws. Tokoyo olympics were postponed by year, samething happened with Euro cup.

But they were able to hold them.

 

The problem is BCCI acts immature and players act priviliged with no accountability.

Exactly. It is obvious that Ipl plays vital role for allegedly cancellation of fifth test and there is no harm in admitting that. Apparently, cricket board and players being vague and evading from acknowledging and owning the intentions show lack of responsibility and marred with immaturity. 
 

What happened to English cricket board is best thing happened in cricket given my disdain for big-3 and what English cricket board did to South Africa cricket. But the amount of excuses in this forum are appalling.

Whole of the support staff got quarantined and you think match got cancelled due to IPL.

Bit ECB refused to delay the test.
