I think I read they are playing all their games at the same ground including the semi final and final :lol: what is the point

This after they were basically allowed to pick and choose where they played at the T20 WC last summer.

And the cheating pricks have the nerve to go on about “boundary count” in 2019. :rolleyes:

Pretty sure I heard on the radio or commentary that the pitches in UAE are perfect for spin whilst in Pakistan its more suited for fast bowling, resulting in India picking more spinners than anyone as they know for certain the route and every single pitch they will play on.

Nothing would surprise me mate. Like with everything not sure why they feel the need to cheat to win. They good enough to not need any of that. They probably would've been too strong for Pak anyway. Only home advantage might have been a leveler. We'll never know now......

The Indian players all laughing and joking makes me sick. They should be cowering showing contrition for having to resort to basically cheating. It all started when they were allowed to choose their own stadiums and routes in tournys. It's only going to get worse unless someone says something. Which unfortunately while all the boards, press, ex pros suck on the bcci titty, will never ever happen. Goodbye Cricket. Nice knowing you buddy.

I’d love an absolute superstar to come out of Pakistan just to see how they’d react, imagine somebody like Flintoff, Pietersen or Warne who is big outside of cricket and world class not playing in the IPL just because of where they were born.

Imagine if the FA just said sorry nobody from Scotland can play in our competition there’d be outrage yet somehow BCCI can do it, no players have been found guilty of being terrorist have they?

Indian cricket fans annoy me more than anything, never shut up unless they are doing average or bad then you don’t hear a single thing from them.
 
If England don't win it, and let's face it, that's looking likely. I want New Zealand to go far.

Great analogy with Scotland and the English Premier League.

Blimey would you Expect England to play in Russia?

Why should India play there when they are killing and bombing parts of India still??

They are at war in certain regions. Bit mist play cricket there oh ok....

I think you tried to use this analogy before mate. It didn't hold up to any scrutiny then either.

So, basically what you're trying to say is the Indians are too scared to play cricket in Pakistan.

When you consider everyone else is playing there okay and have been for a while, makes you think.

Feel like Ahmed needs to play against South Africa if we beat Afghanistan
Overton confirmed as only change, nice of the lads to give Afghanistan a full 24 hours to prepare for our attack in a must win game 👌

I know we're on a downer but surely this team has too much for the raw Afganis? Beat them and then it's game on against Saffers.

We still got a chance if we can get on a roll. These are batsman friendly pitches and IF our stars can click......
