So not only are we agreeing to play Pakistan, we have them in the same group as us and we have agreed to play our home series in neutral venue.

 

Spineless board and country 

 

@Gollum

Have been saying from day 1, Indians are spineless people and only deserve to be enslaved...masters have changed from Sultans to Mongols to Europeans, but slave mentality will never go away. Worst betrayal about to come when IWT suspension will be reneged, so called game changer lmao. 

 

Very easy to make bold proclamations, real test is whether one can follow through.

BCCI is acting on behalf of GoI.  How much of a c*k you gotta be to host your own tournament on a neutral venue.

India was supposed to host it this time.

 

This is worse than PCB hosting CT in a hybrid model.

@Gollum jr. Sah probably doesn't understands much English & is taken for a ride by other cricket board membraans

Most spineless surrender in BCCI's history. 

 

At least they played their home CT games in Pak, even that has been snatched away from us. Complete bendover. 

 

In hockey we didn't let go our hosting rights. If Pak doesn't want to come, fine, we will include some other team. Contrast that to cricket.

Asia Cup is not about money. 

 

Might be the same reason why we had to invite pak hockey team earlier. Olympic bid requires we showcase issuing visa to everyone. We are bidding for '36.

Yes. Olympic bid means we have to play Pak in an ACC event . Waise the mighty Pakistan won't allow a 2 take ka Asia Cup to be hosted by us, you are dreaming about hosting Olympics. 

 

How easy it is to fool us Indians. No wonder this desh bhakt govt does nothing but jumla after jumla.

You can see how many are ok with this and making excuses for this action. If tomorrow government tells them to be slaves of Pakistanis, they will line up in stores to buy pochas and mops.

Boycotting cricket was so Congress era revenge.

 

Modi ji takes khoon ka badla khoon. You hit us...we hit them by sending our missiles.

 

What will we achieve by blocking cricket match? If anything we will get another opportunity to humiliate them on the field.

 

Beating them in a cricket match will heal all the suffering our fellow Indians had to endure couple of months back? So many shattered dreams in that massacre, pant utarwe ke maara, in front of the wives and kids....people of our age who had their entire lives ahead of them, people celebrating their honeymoon or LTC vacation. Then the targeting of our civilian population in border areas, little kids had their heads, arms, legs ripped off.....while we targeted only their army posts, they targeted our civilian homes, schools, hospitals, gurdwaras. 

 

This isn't even an ICC event or Asian Games/Olympics, just a stupid ACC competition....we can host a multi nation tourney excluding Pak and help out other boards if we want. PCB will earn millions because of this, and so will their govt/army. Money which will be used later to kill more innocent Indian brothers and sisters.

Russians/Ukrainians ok with not playing each other, heck Russians have been banned from most competitions including Olympics. 

 

Azeris/Armenians same

 

Iran/Israel are not paired in most tourneys, even if they are, one of the teams/players forefits it. Firouzja had to shift to France because he was not ok with that, and Iran didn't bother stopping a potential world champion from leaving. 

 

Heck even Eng, NZ etc. have morals, refused to play in Mugabe's Zim in 2003 WC, costing them a shot at SF, and Kenya sneaked through. You may agree or disagree with their decision to boycott but must appreciate the fact that they had conviction in their stance.

 

India is the only spineless, immoral country in the entire world. Where its citizens will invent mental gymnastics (even something as ludicrous as Olympics bid) to defend whatever their govt does, where they will place personal comforts and entertainment needs over lives of their fellow citizens, where they will shamelessly beg and demean themselves before their enemy for dhandho reasons. Most selfish people ever, not 1000, this chwtiya population deserves 10,000 years slavery.

Surprisingly little coverage on this issue... Vikrant Gupta was laughing when Pak was hosting CT on a hybrid model but what about this humiliation? Playing Pak is secondary but why are allowing them to dominate us in a friggin ACC event?

 

Peak Shamelessness...   This is what happens when people are not elected based on merit.

 

That Naqvi guy who I guess is ACC chief would have ran Circles around our low IQ clown.

Next time army should refuse to conduct any revenge operation, Modi does these things only for his image building and to use in future elections. Whatever gains our brave forces will give us, government will surrender those in no time. Only more suffering awaits, jawans needlessly dying for an ungrateful population who treat these military ops like entertainment shows (we all saw how godi media made a mockery of it one while night destroying Indian credibility forever), border folks getting their lives destroyed while people from comforts of their homes in inland cheer on for more war, before going back to watching Pak serials, following their SM pages, planning parties around Indo-Pak cricket games.

Jumlas and chest thumping beating ha started Spineless BCCI and GOI who are only there to protect their commercial interests. The widows from Pahalgham must be thinking what have they done to deserve this humilation.

 

We can only blame the BCCI so much, shameless indians will still tune in to watch the match.. if you want to make a statement then ensure no public place in india is able to broadcast this match, cancel your subscriptions, physically stop watching India Pak matches

Even folks in pro establishment podcasts were bashing the call to not attack Pak military installations from the outset.

I think CDS, Defence attache have all given response/signals to the media in their own way about how their hands were tied on day1.

 

Salute to our brave Air force Pilots to go ahead on such a risky mission.

I can bet even USAF pilots would have refused the call on non stealth platforms without SEAD ops.

That's not how military escalations work. It takes great amount of courage and restraint to avoid the temptation of directly attacking the armed forces and going for terror camps. That RUSI report explains it well 

 

Disabling air defence implies that you're ready for a full war and India was not intending on that first. It was only after loitering munition drones and ballistic missiles were sent to non military civilian areas that enabled them to escalate things to a greater level. Destroying AWACS following up with hitting air base runways is not a joke, that's where US had to intervene (they weren't expecting India to do this).

 

Anyways, without digressing further let's get back to the point - India is a low trust society and lacks that unity/pride to be a great nation.

If this happens, ICF should boycott coverage and not open match threads. Shame on the BCCI for stopping this low!

Nope in any case Airstrikes on a sovereign land is pretty high up the escalation ladder already.

 

You cannot walk away from an escalation like that...   Response was always going to come from other side and guess what they decided to Target our high value military installations air force bases to destroy our air defences by first trying to saturate them with lower cost drones.  They didn't think about full scale war shtick.

Pak mil doctrine is based on quick reaction strikes via their airforce to force their adversary to halt the charge.  They know they can't handle a prolonged conflict.  It was always going to be a short crisp conflict.

 

They failed is another matter but they knew what needed to be done.

 

Endangering pilot's and equipment was a stupid move.

Look at what Israel did first up to Iran even though Israel lacks strategic Depth unlike India to withstand full might of Iranian ballistic missile barrage.

 

I agree on your last point about India as a society.

But Op Sindoor showed people were behind the sarkar and armed Forces to go for the kill despite the consequences.

Not even inland, many of these pseudo patriots are NRIs who don't care for indian lives but are blood thirsty and want war and riots back in india while they and their family are safe overseas.

 

They always show their true colors when they put party over country. They support the ruling party just to hate on other religions, not because they care about india at all. Its all a game to them.

Shameless goverment

Now get ready for the "The biggest rivalry" nonsense on Star sports and them sucking upto Pakistani ex cricketers on live television. This country is a gone case.

Pathetic politicians ….. Mfker. If this is true nothing will be more shameful than this, if these g@ndus don’t even have guts to boycott this useless series.
