Asia Cup 2023

[Bevab]

Forget about BCCI and PCB, ICC wont allow it if Ind and Pak aren't in the same group.

They’ll meet in the warmups don’t worry.

I so want the 2nd days' play to be washed out too. Serves them right.

I have a question, how will ICC deal with this shit (CT 2025 is in Pakistan) will ICC grow some balls or not?

Probably will be shifted out of Pakistan. The only way it won't be is if Pakistan wins the World Cup. That'd ensure more teams visit Pakistan and security isn't a concern anymore.

Only way I see CT 2025 happening in Pakistan is somehow India not qualifying for it. Or if they refuse to play. Very unlikely either way.

India's refusal to play will most likely ensure the ICC yields to a neutral venue. India knows that their refusal to play will have repercussions on the ICC's revenue model. They will hold these cards close to their chest until the very last minute.

The other theory that was being floated being that Modi and BJP don't come to power next year in our General Elections. However, that is very unlikely and this actually puts the pressure on Pakistan. This means that Jay Shah will screw the BCCI over and over again. Unless the BCCI sees a power play and has someone like Pawar or Manohar elected to the top office, I do not see them playing in Pakistan.

I so want the 2nd days' play to be washed out too. Serves them right.

It's really boring now!

It is quite apparent that the teams involved are aware of the fact that ACC wants a 3 match bilateral.

Bangladesh haven't been performing

Sri Lanka are chasing World Records

India and Pakistan are simply enthused to see each other again and are spending a lot of time over chai-kahwa-pakoda in the dresing rooms (over snacks in the dressing room)

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Mood these days.

 

[icyman]

Can't they simply switch to football for the remaining games? I'm pretty sure the public would love it...

Pakistan looking at a chase of 300+. Cant complain, might be nice to get a chance to chase down a substantial total before the WC.

There hasn't been many exceptional chase in a long time for Pakistan cricket especially with the strength of our bowling

Haris is a big miss. Hope it's not gonna keep him out of the WC

From my understanding, he felt a slight niggle strain and they rested him to be on the safe side.

Hopefully should be okay for the next game (although best to rest and rotate the bowlers)

Yeah this match is a joke anyway

Everyone is simply in for batting and bowling practice anyway. Doubt there be any real strategy until the final from either team.

I think the one thing that's been made apparent the most by our bowling in this match, is that we desperately need Wasim Jr. in the World Cup squad. Rana just ain't it chief, we need a proper fourth pacer, especially against oppositions like India who play spin so well.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

KL Rahul giving false sense of security to all Indian fans! Also why are they not accelerating?

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Also since we are finishing our batting and now all our batters scored runs against Pakistan, I just want Bumrah to bowl 5 overs and match be called off due to rain

 

[wasteyouryouth]

KL to grace us with a 100 today tomorrow.

Why fourth pacer? Just bring back Nawaz.
But if you do need a fourth pacer, i agree, Wasim Jr in, and Shaheen at 8
