Fudging facts is a trait indians have mastered.

Nothing I said is untrue. Everything is fact. Only fact. No fudge. The biggest fudge was Pakistan winning 1992 wc after being bowler out for 74 against England and rain saving them. Thats a fact.

For some reasons, the Indian NRIs living in the UK hv developed a soft corner for these Pooks over the years.

Why are you running away from hybrid model for Wt20 now?

Where did I mentioned I am running away ?

Are u hallucinating or what ?

 

My core point was lack of PCB's involvement as a host, and you're dodging the question and throwing excuses all around.

See, u are unnecessarily troubling @Autonomous. Mohsin is minister to PM Shahbaaz. Shahbaz in record ( there is a video footage) went on to ask his players and team to defeat “ Hamsaya Mulk” and make Pakistan proud. Its different story that Rizwan started laughing at PMs statement. So how can Mohsin handover the trophy to team of “ Hamsaya Muluk” . Afterall, He is a Minister to shahbaaz

Almost two decades old facts.

Look where is started and then come back to me - the entire point was next year's WT20 would and should be out of India if we qualify for finals. Period

 

I dont care if BCCI's X/Y or Z doesnt come for trophy ceremony in case we even win it.

It won't be.

 

One concession that might be made is a slight inversion of this CT rule. If Pak don't make it, then India. If Pak make it but Ind don't make it, SL.

 

There is no way BCCI will let India play a home WC final outside India.

 

You might cry about unfairness, laws, agreements etc etc but thing is might makes right and BCCI will pull all stops to ensure this clause is there or they will replace Pak in the tournament (and none of the other boards will actually do anything about it). Ofc it won't come to that because Pakistan will agree to those terms.

Might is right and then you have audacity to talk about ethics, morals, gestures and all?

 

What a joke.

Pak won't make semis of the T20 WC, even getting to super 8s will be a big feat for them. They lost to USA in previous WC, people really think they will turn it around in 11 months time?

It matters,

PCB isnt helping its case in anyway by neglecting the award ceremony. It makes them look like a jealous buffon. Thats not how a "host" should behave, irrespective of the differences.

Lets put it on table - I know our team is ****. It was **** during CT17 as well but somehow we reached tp the final and won. 

 

But it is about claim of indians being "righteous"

So basically you agree that WT20 should be held outside India considering we qualify into semis or finals. 

 

Thanks

Whatever is the agreement. It should be followed.

ICC is the boss here, not PCB or BCCI.

 

Any comments on the foolishness by PCB or you're on board with them.

Spot on.I read some where PCB is complaining that ICC did not ask their official to come on to the stage.

 

Are these guys for real, they are hosting board, they should have been oraganising everything there.

If Pak insists playing outside India in a India hosted ICC tournament, Pakistan will NOT even  qualify to that tournament. Its called hegemony. PCB and its fans need to live with it.

I dont follow Mohsin Naqvi but he is also Interior Minister. From news - PCB CEO was there who should have been on stage if Naqvi wasn't available, per protocol. 

 

Good that you have balls to acknowledge that finals should be moved out of India if Pakistan qualifies.
