Pakistan lodge official complaint about Bangladesh

[Ultimate_Game]

Looks like all the yaari-dosti and solidarity is done and dusted between Pak and B'desh  First we had B'desh run out Agha in controversial circumstances in the previous match which resulted in Agha retaliating and getting penalized. And after losing the series decider, Pakistan has lodged a complaint about B'desh for reviewing a wide decision in the guise of reviewing LBW.

 

Looks like B'desh was not happy the way Pak, especially Naqvi, used BCB for their political gains and threw B'desh under the bus and the B'desh players showed that during the series. And Pak is left seething like a jilted lover after losing to B'desh 

 

@Pakistan, @Iconoclast, @bahadur_billa, would love to get your perspective on this lover's tiff and falling out.

 

Here's the link to the latest drama between the two bitter lovers...

Didn't see the match but a review complaint would be against the umpire instead of the team no? Team can ask for a review but ultimately it is the umpire that sends it upstairs is what I thought was the process?

Even PCB doesn't know what they want from the review. Apparently they simply need match ref to "acknowledge" the decision/process and nothing else. So why create all the ruckus and brouhaha? This is the very definition of being butt-hurt and throwing a fit coz you lost

This goes to show the "real seriousness" of PCB when it comes to securing victory in useless bilateral series with minnows & associates.  A perfect example of misplaced priority.  Pretty sure, if Pooks had won this series against Toygers, their kaptaan Agha would hv come up with the statement "Who cares about ICC tournaments? This win is much bigger"

They have long back come to terms with their quality of players.. its only the rest of the world especially Indian analysts who still see them from nostalgic lens and keep reminding the world how good they can be.. mercurial, dangerous, board is ruining them or else they are a top side, can beat anyone on any day etc nonsense

Not even rest of the world. Indian oldies and maybe English oldies like Atherton and Hussain.

 

Aussie/Saffers never got beaten by them even at their peak so consider them a joke team.

 

Geoff Lemon literally called them another Bangladesh.

 

As the oldies age out and guys from 00s/10s come into analyst/commentary positions their view of Pakistan will be lower.

Pak team is no where near top5 sides, there is a huge gap and then there is Pak and then here is huge gap then there are other teams.

Pak team can spring a surprise but can not do it often, WI if evey1 is available to plays intnl they will be more formidable side in t20is, but right now they are as likely to spring up a surprise as pak team is.

 

WI next gen. batters are not at same level as that of previous gen or current gen. So once the current players also go they have no one.

If an appeal is made by any side, it ump. decision to turn it down or or make a call. 

Bd team was well with in time to ask for review and seeing the situation, ump. could only ask and reconfirm if they want to appeal or not. If yes then he had to make a call.

He turned the appeal down, so Bd asked for Drs claiming they think its lbw (hind side knowing its not lbw but something hit the ball and its not a wide), and Ump had send it to 3rd ump.

 

3rd ump. made the decision based on tech he had available. As for showing the reply on giant screen (if it was) its broadcaster's issue and if there was replay already shown then the team can not take drs.  On field umps. should have turn-down the appeal.

 

For 3rd ump. after its up to him he goes through the tech he has.

 

Pcb has complaint about replay on giant scrn and drs asked after 15 sec..  Captains provides reports on umpire after each game , but never a formal complaint like this for just 1 incidence in the game

What's this obsession in Pakistan with lodging complaint?
