BCCI agrees to host Asia Cup at neutral venue, India-Pak likely in same group

This is not a good take lol. You do what you can basically, this sort of nihilistic self defeating logic cannnot even be extended to your own life coz It is impractical. We stopped bilateral cricket, Pak gets imf loans so we shd play them too because in comparison it probably makes no difference lol. 

It's also not true, every nation or group of nations worth their salt draw these red lines and attempt to assert them when possible.

they just got a billion dollars from wef while they were actively attacking us and you are worried about their cut from Asia cup which won't even be 1% of that? People just parrot this line all day everyday as if the money trail from PCB to terrorists is an established fact. I am sure all the Pakistani cricketers are extra generous to just donate all their salaries to terrorists just like that.

 

I am not sure why us third worlders are the blindest patriots in the whole world, if its some kind of coping mechanism for living in terrible countries or something. Just anytime pakistan is mentioned a retard switch goes off in everyones brains and just shouting like sheep without an ounce of critical thinking

Money trail from PCB to terrorists does not have to be established. That is inconsequential.

 

Most Western Lending institutions/banks/ Pvt Equity firms/ Sovereign Funds do not lend to companies that do business with Russian companies. Even those that do not supply to the Russian military.

 

That is how sanctioning works.

If GoI in all its wisdom, has said that Operation Sindoor is not yet over, hostilities are on. There can be no transaction with Pakistan till the operation is officially over. This one match does not mean anything in the large scheme of things. It is about consistency of our stand.

 

That aside, India doesn’t get anything by playing Pak. We are far better a team for the last 10-15 years. Our players aren’t challenged. We are expected to steam roll them. They are so bad that beating them is not even that big a deal anymore. In the off chance they win, they bring in religion and it invariably vitiates the atmosphere in India. 
 

Eg: They ran fake News on Arshdeep and Shami. Not very imaginative, but predictable. And idiots on our side love to jump at a communal provocation that starts from Pak.

There is only one court in Pakistanistan, the court of Army.

They need money, and for that they will not hesitate to sell the kidneys, eyes, liver of Pak citizens. 

 

So asking Pakistani cricket fans such things isnt gonna result much. They live under constant fear/propaganda of Army.

This is not BCCI. This is GOI. BCCI will not dare to go against GOI

Ultimately that is the only truth. GOI has 100% control over anything to do with Pakistan. This is happening because GOI wants it to happen. Really can't understand the thinking behind it. At least ghar mein rakhna tha, put the ball in Pak's court and humiliate them. Yahaan toh total surrender.

Owaisi feels the pulse of the people, he has been bang on target since Sindoor, credit where due. Even cornered the govt over shortage of IAF squadrons, opposition should be like this.

Beginning of the end of BJP. Even bhakts are livid.

 

CDS is saying Operation Sindoor is on, and we will have a *ing cricket match. You know, this announcement was made on the day of Kargil Vijay Diwas !!!!! 

 

Really hope some high profile cricketers themselves opt out, saying they stand with the soldiers and widows of Pahalgam.

So far nothing.. It depends on the threshold and magnitude of the attack

 

If we decide a threshold, they will operate below that and still bleed us dry. Instead of a Pahalgam, they will kill 5 Indians every week, that makes it ok? Really don't understand govt's gameplan here. 

 

Reasi terror attack last year killed 10 innocent pilgrims, including kids. Bus lost control and fell into the wayside, warna 50 would have perished.

I'm shocked, Faheem Ashraf of everyone?

 

I can imagine some average Pakistani coming up with this, but least expected it from an international cricketer. 

[Teengunalagaan]

I am not watching a single ball of this match or any match they play.

 

I know it won't make darn difference, but it would make a difference to my own conscience.

Approval is needed to play Pakistan. 

 

India was supposed to host this but will happen in UAE. Even CT match happened there 

No approval is needed for neutral venue. CT match happened in UAE because permission wasn't given to play in Pakistan. There is no permission required at neutral venue.

It got nothing to do with GOI. BCCI doesn't work under GOI. GOI can only prevent games if they are played in either ndia or Pakistan. GOI has no jurisdiction in UAE.

That's your assumption. It got nothing to do with GOI. Match isn't being played in India.

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.

 

Absolutely agree, eit ka jawaab patthar, khoon ka badla khoon hai, Why block Cricket? Our current T20 team under SKY will massacre these Jihadis, aane do saalo ko !
