Pollack Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) English and Aussie Media are hypocrites but this is not a proper example of it. To be fair most are making fun of India for getting trapped setting a trap. They still are making fun of pitch. Criticism is replaced by humour. I want all matches raging turners but its not possible now. If India has quality spinners and quality batsman for Number 1 test team then they should still win. If not we are not good enough.

Cricket gets a lot of coverage in Australia, England, South Africa etc. But in Western countries Cricket competes with a lot of other sports that are bigger than Cricket in those countries and is not as big (prob #2 or #3) whereas in India, Cricket rules the roost. She made a joke. She was referring to USA. Link to comment

kosingh Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 We take refuge in pointing out their hypocrisy while they savor the sweet taste of victory. Doctored Wicket 1 Link to comment

Would it be fine with you if we win the next test and then point out or hypocrisy or should we just enjoy the victory and be humble then? Not sure of the right usage of when to do this...so had to ask Link to comment
rahulrulezz Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Why do they need to. Are you playing a victim card like how some of our Pakistanis bros do. Suck it up and take it on your chin like a man. They kept their mouth shut and meant business, We lost fair and square! Doctored Wicket 1 Link to comment

waga Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Because India made the pitch here here and here and it back fired into their face. Nobody's saying that its a good pitch, just happy that we won in India when we weren't expecting it largely because they comically fell into their own trap. If you asked anyone about the pitch they'd say rank turner. Steve O'Keefe was also due for something like this after having some of the best domestic stats ever in Australia for a spinner but never getting a test. Link to comment
