No dont be silly why is that every cricketer from north is giving his opinion in favour of cricketing ties where as south and west cricketers are numb on this. coincidence , I don't think region has anything to do with pro or anti Pakistan opinion
Ultimate_Game Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 India must compensate PCB for cancelled tour of 2009: Butt :haha:This is what Mr. Butt has to say... The former Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Ijaz Butt has welcomed the planned revival of bilateral ties with India but insisted that Pakistan must ask the the BCCI to compensate it financially for the cancelled series of 2009. "It is a good thing that finally the Board of Control for Cricket in India has invited Pakistan to play a short series this year in India. But my concern is, the PCB needs to gain something more out of the series than the resumption of ties," Butt told PTI. The PCB has already accepted the invitation from the BCCI to tour India in December to play three-match ODI series and two Twenty20 matches. It would be the first bilateral series between the two countries after India suspended cricketing ties with Pakistan following the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008 and cancelled a full Test tour to the neighbouring country in early 2009. The suspension of ties and cancellation of tour took place during the tenure of Butt. Butt, who was replaced by Zaka Ashraf last October, said during his tenure he had held meetings with the BCCI President, N Srinivasan in the presence of former ICC chief, Sharad Pawar and put forth a formula for revival of the ties. "I had given the BCCI some options but the crux of these options was that India must compensate us financially for the cancelled tour of 2009. As per the ICC FTP regulations whenever Pakistan and India play against each other it will be Pakistan's turn to play host," he said. Butt admitted that as a part of his options he had agreed to Pakistan going and playing in India to revive ties but had asked for the income from media rights to go to the PCB. "My condition was that the BCCI should allow the income from media rights to us because we lost lot of estimated income when India didn't tour Pakistan in early 2009," said Butt. "The way we estimated things we had lost around 45 to 50 million dollars when that series was cancelled and my argument was simple that Pakistan and India needed to revive bilateral ties on reciprocal basis if required even at neutral venues like Sri Lanka, Malaysia and England. "I had even agreed that to revive bilateral ties we would send our team to India but the emphasis was on getting share of the income from media rights," he added. The former Test player said that he had told Srinivasan clearly that BCCI also needed to commit to a return series with Pakistan. "I had told them that they only made promises and we needed a firm commitment so that we could also make money. Because when Pakistan goes to India, the BCCI income is around 100 million dollars. "The same things were repeated when I met BCCI officials and Indian government functionaries during the 2011 World Cup semifinal in Mohali," he said. A PCB spokesman, however, said that Pakistan would not be discussing sharing of revenue generation for the series as its only interest was to see bilateral cricket ties revived. Butt, meanwhile, said he had also briefed Ashraf about all his meetings with Srinivasan and Pawar. The former PCB chief said that he was not aware under what conditions Pakistan had agreed to now play in India and accepted the BCCI invitation. "Obviously, Zaka Ashraf has his own vision and policies but my belief is that we need to have bilateral ties with India on equal basis. They need to tour Pakistan and play a couple of matches," insisted Butt.

The Outsider Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Is he trolling? Weren't India's replacement for the series, Sri Lanka, shot at by terrorists in 2009 - he asking India to compensate for that tour?
Ultimate_Game Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Is he trolling? Weren't India's replacement for the series' date=' Sri Lanka, shot at by terrorists in 2009 - he asking India to compensate for that tour?[/quote'] I am surprised he hasn't asked SLCB for compensation so far for cutting the tour short after the attack :hysterical: After all he did say Broad and other refs/umpires were not in any real danger and that they should actually be grateful that their driver saved their lives :giggle:
superstar Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 What next compensation for the killed terrorists?
Ultimate_Game Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 What next compensation for the killed terrorists? Now now don't give Butt ideas :giggle:
Clarke Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 In some cases, thinking outside the box ~ thinking inside the Butt
phaedrus Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 you guys should pool in money and put this guy in an institution.

How would you even begin to reply to such a request - but I am sure Srinivasan and Shukla would have come up with their own gems!

Ultimate_Game Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 can't see who voted for who...maybe mods can help :dontknow: Coz this question should be applicable only to Indian fans.
maniac Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I voted Yes....Because it makes no sense to make cricket an issue when everything else has been going on like business as usual... Beleive me I don't care about India-Pak series because.....generally,once they start playing each other there is always an over-kill that follows.
