If the ICC and BCCI bow down in front of PCB’s demands and that clown Jay Shah doesn’t sanction them, that will be the end of me following this sport.

Pakistan is openly acting like a prick, mocking India, and here we have our billion-dollar, supposedly all-powerful board doing absolutely nothing. It’s not like they couldn’t act — they chose not to. Just like they did nothing when Naqvi ran away with the Asia Cup.

The 'fake Gandhi' nepo product is much better than Amit Shah's nepo product; Amit Shah's product is useless

The eerie silence from ICC means back channel negotiations are happening right now.

 

Pakistan will most likely play and they will get some incentives like more revenue cut or to host new ICC tournaments.

 

They know what buttons to press with whatever little leverage they have.

Not happening, there are going to be severe penalties imposed on them. Even other countries have had enough of their drama.

Are the fans getting their money back for the ticket? Some people have booked flight/hotels way in advance for this match alone. Kinda sucks for these folks ... Though I think when match day comes, Pak will play. Too much to loose vs whats to gain here by doing this.

Do not think the tkt are available for Ind vs Pak match yet. The physical tkt for were to open by 3rd feb. not sure but think in case of cancellation of match in icc event the tkt are 100% refundable , 3rd parties may keep the service charges.

Naah. Opposite.

 

They will be threatened with less revenue cut and no new ICC tournaments.

Even likes of Gideon Haigh, Geoff Lemon are lambasting Pakistan over this. And these guys never hide their dislike for India/BCCI/GOI. 

 

Pakistanis realizing that the bitter Aussie/English on social media do not represent the views of their establishment/cricketers.

 

Except Pakistanis, everyone loves BCCI for the money it has brought into the game.

This is surely a ploy by them,maybe a bonus situation for them,they may have already asked their players to be ready all this while and prepare marking each Indian player while making a fool of both ICC,BCCI and suddenly coming out for toss saying "we are saving the spirit of the game"

BCCI and GG must make no mistake by trusting PCB and its memberaans,and be ready and certain about the match taking place with a doubt,be prepared

Bilkul sahi bole aap, Pak snakes are so neech that they can blindside us like that also. Our players and coaches shouldn't be distracted by outside noise. Nothing has changed as far as their WC is concerned.

What's their demand here? Apart from forfeiting, don't remember seeing any additional demands from their end.

 

Either way free points for India. Also this is Pakistan. Almost certain they will make a mess out of one of the associate matches. Will end up playing this or else NRR might kick them out. This is a regular thing either way: we will do it, we won't do it, we might do it, we still won't do it and then does end up playing lol.

Yup this is how I feel too. ICC will try everything possible to make this game take place. May not be any incentive or something, but Pakistan will play after a few tantrums.

It does not work this way, teams can not sneak. 1st pcb will have to tell whether they are ready to play or so that tkt sell can go-on.

 

On cricketing part, every team has their usual training routines. There are enough support staff to take care of every aspect. Planning, checking out data/video/stats.

Plus bcci and players and TM will have clear idea what is going on they are not relying on speculation or some breaking news.

 

The only thing is pak team would like to use tariq as surprise factor which Ind batters have never faced and see if that works on SL spinning tracks.

BNP should realize Jamaat is their enemy as well and should unban BAL as soon as possible.

See, they did Pahalgham and then asked us to play cricket.

Now Balochis Royally effed them on eve of World Cup(Many senior Police and Army persons killed or abducted), Mohsin blames Indians Afghanis planned it.

Its v.likely that Pak team will play, else by now they would have backed the x-post and said we are not allowed so we can not play.

 

Previously they asked for time till friday-monday so they had to come up wit something so that x-post came. 

 

Its kind of a tester on what icc does after that, and if they can buy sometime, contact other boards for anykind of support. pcb has nt yet confirmed that they are not playing.

As far as things are its business as usual.

 

Icc does not want to look unfair and wants every chance for this game to go through. Its optics as well as cover for anything legal if broadcasters, sponsors take that route.
