SKY'S post match arrogance

[Gollum]

Seeing a guy like Sky lead India is a travesty. He has been around for long but don't remember anything of substance except the Miller catch. Joke of a batsman in pressure situations or against quality bowling attacks. He bashes minnows well, due credit there. 

 

Amazing that he has a test cap and got carried around throughout a home WC campaign.

Yea. He should ahve waited till the final atleast. In general i don't like comments against any team.  We got roasted by NZ at home in Tests

Is there any chance for an India - Pak final to NOT happen? I am not following this tournament except for checking the scorecard the next day to make sure we didn't lose to them. It seems like this match was a close one and could even have been a defeat without Abhishek's fireworks. Don't want a repeat of CT2017 in the final!

Pakistan has to drop a match against BD or SL. Then Pak fans will be in an unique situation where they will be rooting for India to beat other two teams lol

Yeah. The most certain one is for us to pull out of the tournament.

 

Next Pak to lose all their games.

 

Or to lose one game badly with poor NRR.

 

Or well we may not make the final

The arrogance is not good. On the field is fine but off the field , always better to stay humble.

This guy has been sucking balls all year. Imagine this guy losing to Pakistan in the final. 

Who gives a **** .. i hardly cares even if we lose .. these Pakistani can't be treated with any sympathy..

 

Basically u r saying due to the fear of so called some defeat in future we should not be putting these dogs in their proper place .. 

 

Bhai yeh haar ke bhi apne aap ko jeeta hua dikha dete hain so kya expect karte ho from these animals? Imran khan ne bola tha naa we do jihad on cricket field against India... Aur few Indian tab bhi uske aage peeche dum katte kuttey ki tarah ghoomte the.

 

What matters to me is tht we freaking destroyed their 11 bases and their damn egos in May .. so these victory and loss in a match is nothing compared to tht.

Why play them. Every event we are playing them, they are making  gestures.

Huh that doesn't make it right at all. No one is saying be apologetic. Just saying be respectful and have humility 

This argument against some other country I would have understood.. but against pakistani u r just acting like a dodo .. keeping ur eyes close won't take way the danger but it will surely make u extinct ..

 

Nahi chahiye humility respect humanity etc inke saath .. inn sab ki pudiya bana ke andar daal do pakistanis ke. 

 

To hell with our victory and loss in match against them .. in case of defeat also I want them to treated like crap ..

 

Jo hisaar mein down kiya tha woh hatf2 thi and was aimed at Delhi.. they tried to hit vaishno devi, golden temple, civilian etc just cos we took out their terrorist camps. U expect humility for such people? And don't give me this crap tht pakistani players don't have such revengful feeling for India. Bhai inko mauka hi nahi mila apni feeling dikhane ka toh yeh haal hai .. jab milega naa toh India ka current behaviour apne aap decent lagega tumko

Nothing to do with sympathy. Why putting pressure on your players. THese guys were dropping sitters in the 2nd match.

Why do we play them then? Once you play them all these arguments go out of the window. We should show  our vengeance through military means, not a press conference. That is a sissy thing to do. No handshake, trolling about rivalry these will not do anything.

Don't know where to start with this

 

No soft corner for anyone. I'd feel the same if Sky was disrespectful towards Zimbabwe in this way. He won't be of course, he only said this because he was blinded by jingoistic fervour 

 

No Pakistani player wants to "kill me" or indeed kill any Indian player

 

Arrogance if earned is one thing, but after being lucky to win and fielding so atrociously.. and also in a format where a one off good performance could well see Pak beat us soon maybe even in the WC..  then one needs to be careful ..  and anyway it is right to be more respectful to all opposition in general 

 

Are you a Punjabi?

I am totally in favor of not playing against them but tht is not in our hand. We have already cut the bilateral ties. U can't avoid them in multiple events. Even Neeraj has to compete with tht Pakistani guy in multi player event. 

 

Leave it to govt. They know things which we don't have idea of. So atleast behave how a civilian with some self respect should behave. 

 

I am totally for boycott of our matches with them. Woh toh hum kar nahi paate ek hoke aur gaaliyan govt ko dete hain ki kyu khelte hain inke saath. 

 

Not to play them toh choddo .. yahan sky ya abhisek kuch bol de toh Pakistani ke liye sympathy dikhane wale aa jaate hain aur govt ko bolte hai ki kyu khel rahe ho inke saath .. Bhai we r not blind .. we can see ur soft corner for this terrorist nation. So don't sugar coat ur behaviour with putting the blame on govt or bcci ..  hum toh bcci ko bhi pelenge.. Pakistani ko bhi .. no matter wht the result is.

Govt has to be questioned because they are at fault here. They are the policy maker.

 

you are blind unfortunately. Sometimes one does not realise it.

Totally .. Govt should and they r questioned .. And they have already given the reply .. Although personally I don't like the govt's decision to play with them but like I said its not in our hand ..
But govt can't be questioned by those who have a soft corner for Pakistani .. One one hand u want Indian team to show humility against such animals and on other hand u want to question govt .. So it makes ur questioning very dicey ..

 

Atleast follow wht u preach ..

Showing humility does not mean one has a soft corner. It's behaviour in sport.

 

To each his own though. As audience I have a right to have an opinion and comment like you do.

 

Don't brand someone having a soft corner for Pakistanis because someone expects humble behaviour on international stage. That is where one has lost the eyes.

Naah. India already is at 0.685 HDI in 2023.

 

Will be 0.7 in 2-3 years at max (earlier tbh) which is high HDI.

 

Will be 0.8 by mid century at least which is first world.

 

There will be no nuclear war.

 

Also Aus cannot compete with Indian population/economic growth. Only reason they could compete was India was damn poor. As that solves, they will be left behind too.

 

The "world" does not hate Indians. White nats (Amplified by social media does). Vast majority of countries including the important ones have good relations with India and India is economically growing. Even Chinese had bad civic sense in the 2000s and 2010s (google Chinese tourists) which got solved as they got richer. Expect the same to happen to Indians.

 

Disagree on the civic sense part. India's civic sense problem is mutli faceted and not dependent on income only.

 

We dont hold a candle to even low income countries like Sri Lanka in cleanliness, they're way ahead. First we need to match Sri Lanka before we can dream of attaining Japan or Singapore levels of HDI.

So where does your humility disappears when govt or BCCI allowed the team to play against them? Why you questioned them if you are full of such humility .. With all tht humility so should have accepted the govt's decision .. 

On one hand u r not showing humility in accepting the bcci or govt's decision and at the same time ask players to show some humility.

So bhai don't fool someone's intelligence under the pretext of this humility BS

Right .. we are doing good in terms of economy, army, foreign relations, governance etc .. But cleanliness is the thing I totally agree with you. We have a long way to go .. And everyone is to be blamed from center govt to state govt to local authorities to public themselves ..

what is the connection between the two??

 

On one hand you have terrorists from Pakistan killing our own and on the other hand goverment is allowing cricket with them to go on. Questioning thta decision is not being humble? When you lose someone in an incident like Pahalgam, your eyes will open up.

 

Once you are on an international stage in a sport, it's better to be humble. Keep it simple. Shouting names or misbehaving is no response to terrorists. It just a viewership gimmick.

This sums up my point. Provided tht govt erred in giving a goahead to play with them .. so u will expect the players to show humility with such a country whose terrorist have killed our own?? Tht kind of defeats your own argument and expose the hypocrisy in play ..
