This classical Comedy … why do they do this to themselves ? Isn’t there one person with common sense in PCB ?

They are targeting poor Pycroft when he was the one who actually saved their izzat by informing them beforehand not to shake the hands. Without him SKY would have humiliated them in front of the whole world by refusing the hand shake.

Multiple sources have told ESPNcricinfo that Andy Pycroft remains match referee for the game

The match referee (whoever is appointed) should give Pakistan only 10 overs to bat for wasting an hour of match time.

So true, these guys are idiots .

If these idiots have the balls let them qualify and play one of the next few matches against india and beat the team fair and square on field .. what Surya did was a statement for India, not a political one but a nationalistic one .. just like taking the knee or wearing a band during game time .. how is what Pakistan doing anything relevant ..

Indians should make them chant "Jai Shri Ram" 108 times if they want to shake hands

[Zero_Unit]

Honestly, I feel bad for the players ... probably those guys did not have much to do with all these drama that the  board/fans started. At the end of the day, they are the ones that will receive the shame/backlash from the world lol

[figo6762]

 icf will get its match posts back if these idiots leave … I vote for match threads …  Pycroft is an icf agent not a BCCI agent ..

 

well done Mods ..

Pycroft apologised to PCB.. for what? India didnt want to shake hands he merely communicated it to them. India does not have legal duty to shake anyone's hands as per MCC laws so on what basis is PCB demanding apology.

 

Fcking inbred terrorists

Yeah they are desperate to have hand shakes and selfies with Indian players. I thought it will reduce after Kohli retired.

Pycroft is expected to sit out Pakistan's match against UAE, with Richie Richardson likely to step in.
