King Tendulkar Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Amazing decision by Yousuf in particular! MP how do you feel? You must be worried. The heart of your batting has been ripped out. You best batsman has defected! If the PCB sticks to their stance your batting line up will be poor. Cant believe Mo Yo in his prime has defected. Unbelievable one of the worlds best batters has been lured like this. pak supporters must be VERY worried right now Link to comment
Chandan Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Amazing decision by Yousuf in particular! Why? It is PCB which is at fault. Why should the players playing ICL be banned from international cricket? Link to comment
Predator_05 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 hahaha. Finally, the Pakistani players' have made their intentions clear. Patriotism comes second to monetary gains - money talks. Now the PCB has no other option but to recognise the ICL. If they refrain from doing so, the ICL will buy out their entire first team, thereby ruining Pakistani cricket For Indian cricket supporters, it's a win-win situation. Nice, eh. Link to comment

None of these players have made themselves unavailable for the country, have they? If their boards do not pick them it is their fault, not the players! Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Well I predicted this would ruin pak team! I would bump the thread to show how I was right but my thread was merged:angry_smile: Link to comment

If their boards do not pick them it is their fault, not the players! Do you think most of these Pakistani players care whether they are picked for Pakistan ? No. They just want to earn more money. The ICL offers a fatter paycheck than anything the PCB is capable of dishing out. If that means they can't play for Pakistan, then so be it. Their intentions to join the ICL can be construed as an act of outright defiance; as they are fully aware that this may spell the end of their international careers (see Razzak's case). It goes out to show that money si the only thing whch matters to them - the privilege and honor associated with representing their country doesn't come into it. Link to comment
ludhianvi Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 The PCB will have to backtrack their claims of banning players joining if the players like yousaf start joining the ICL. Link to comment

Guest dada_rocks Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Yousus has had it enough.. poor guy did everything they wanted off the field and in the field and when it came to giving him his due i.e. reins of the team then he was bypassed in favour of a rooky who doesn't even command his place in the team.....

Chandan Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Why is it PCB's fault. Yeah the batting line up will be jolted quite badly but lets see how the youngsters come along. PCB is at fault because it is not letting its players earn pure white money by showcasing their skill !! Why is PCB doing so? What problem does it have if the players play in a league in free season?

Youngsters are not going to be anywere near as good as mo yo and inzi. You guys are in cr#p if the PCB stick to their guns. And in any case ICL games take priority over pak games, money talks:D Link to comment

What problem does it have if the players play in a league in free season? It's not recognized by the ICC and the boards all around the world have made the same decision. Secondly it is anything but a free season! SA are coming to PAK in OCT and then there is the tour of India. Link to comment
Guest dada_rocks Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 ICC doesn't care which player PCB selects ( moreover even if ICC does when PCB can take on ICC in as dubious a case as dope charge this one is nothing). Let us not hide behind semantics.. Link to comment

And in any case ICL games take priority over pak games' date=' money talks:D[/quote'] for players like Imran Farhat, Mongia, Moin Khan and even Inzamam it's a great opportunity because they didn't have much of a chance to play for IND/PAK but M Yousuf and A Razzaq's stance is slightly surprising.

Holysmoke Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 So, interesting question. If mopey and dopey join, how long will it be before Pakistan is stripped off test status? :D Link to comment
