Have no delusions about this Indian team. PAK are favourites and we are an outdated side. I just see it as pointless because they already seem to have decided who the final 15 are

seen as dress rehearsal of WC

 

Just like last year it was seen as rehearsal for WT20 but champions SL were knocked out in qualifiers

SL did qualify to the main round, it was the West Indies who were knocked out in the first round. 

 

SL lost to Namibia in the first round though.

18 - 19 months back.

It is because playing just before ODI World Cup and rare chance to see world number 1 ODI ranked Pakistan go against Bharat. ESPN 3 streaking both Asia Cup and World Cup in USA.

Because Pakistan will be champions this time  we deserve last time as well but poor fielding let us down.

We have had an overdose of Windies  and then to top it off we got a dose of Ireland.  It became painfully boring.

 

If we had visited say Aus and SA - the interest level in this Asia Cup would have been lower.

This is a pointless tournament which I will be skipping- the fact they have scheduled the matches in SL in their monsoon season shows how serious BCCI is about this.

I am not sure that you can miss today's match.

[Frustrated]

This endless criticism about bcci sheduling asia cup in SL during monsoon is going to fall flat.  All we are witnessing is that every single match in SL is being played fully (50 overs).  Incl. Today.  This weather report is highly inaccurate every time.   LOL.   I too never thought that these reports are so meaningless.

Not sure about that but why the fukkk is BCCI arranging press conferences like it's the most important world event.. Can't stand our losers talking. Have never watched any PC of these jokers. Do people really listen to what the fattus say?

Setting aisde Jay Shah and his very punchable face. What are your problems with BCCI.

[Frustrated]

Interesting that Pak don't hv any intl matches scheduled after the Asia Cup.  Straightway, they will be playing the warmup games of the WC.   Whereas Ind play a 3 match series vs Aus (the strongest team) at home.   Will give credit to bcci for this.

I have problems with everyone who jeopardize Indian Cricket. BCCI selected Dravid and we all know what happened after that ? It's due to BCCI's inept skills that Indian team is allowed to go on a paid vacation in Colombo instead of playing in Hambantota. Who appoints the batting coaches,bowling coaches ? What about the useless selections and the persistence of having KL in the team and above all they have Jay Mf Ugly pos Shah

Pak already has played enough matches in similar conditions. Our sooperstars have found an excuse to not play in Hambantota. What does that suggest ? They don't want to play international cricket but can't wait for IPL to start.

Yes.  But all the games which Pak hv played in similar conditions are against minnows.   How much it has helped them would be revealed when they face us in Ahmedabad and also later on when they face tougher teams.  Everything else is just a guess work at this stage.

This is getting annoying.   Mods should ban this spammer "Antonio Militao"   He is spamming this non sense in every thread.
