Asia Cup 2023

Does this apply here? @Bigby Wolf

How convenient to not reply to the reply.

Anyways, I was dying to come to this side of the forum to see @icyman all melted with the changes we made lol! He did not disappoint me. I am happy we rested the players that we rested. KL is playing, Rohit and Gill are playing which is good. We do not want injuries before the World Cup.

Now that Iyer is not fit, I would drop him from the WC squad and take a gamble and take Tilak Verma with us.

Also what is with BAngladesh and only one or two players performing every single time. When was the last time the entire team performed together?

One last thing, Cricket as a sport needs to evolve, in super 4s and 6s, if it is a dead rubber, do not play just like Baseball.

Best thing about the rant is that he is upset Rohit’s playing after claiming he would be upset if he didn’t play.

Bangladesh have fallen into the trap of experimenting too much. I’m surprised it wasn’t brought up by him given he’s accusing the Indian side of the same. Hridoy and Mehidy have been shuffled around for no reason. They’ve also lost a few players that were important to their side in Iqbal, Ebadot and Shanto who was finally clicking. Mushfiqur has also skipped today’s game for the birth of his child. Beyond all of that I just believe they’ve experimented too much for the sake of finding out answers to questions that may arise instead of focusing on getting the side functioning smoothly.

But You and that na maloom guy has a habit of poking things every now and then so its only a matter of time when someone from Indian users or community reply to you guys.

I do not believe I have ever posted anything for the sake of posting anything, or simply just to troll.

I've always stood by what I've posted because they've all been opinions. And opinions that have never been disguised as facts.

If you've felt "poked" by opinions, then that's fine. That's what a 'difference of opinion' is. But to suggest that Me and CK post things that are contrary to what you or other members might believe in just to be a shit-poster is absolute nonsense. And even worse, suggesting that any Indian member doing that in reply to Me or CK is somehow justified because "we poked you first" is absolute rubbish. If you have a difference of opinion, lay your thoughts out clearly. Do not feel threatened for no reason from what we have to say.

We're not going around poking the bear, but receiving jingoistic replies from you when criticizing the BCCI, the Indian cricket team, any ex-Indian cricketer etc. is quite disheartening.

It shouldn't take rocket-science to figure out that criticizing the BCCI or an ex-Indian cricketer is not the same as being derogatory towards Indians or India as a nation.

I think we all post things here based on what we believe and stand for. Nobody poked any one! Ouch! What are we on facebook? What he meant is a lot of opinions were flying out here regarding Say Jhah and BCCI. Some of them are true and some of them does not matter even if they are true.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Don't start bad-mouthing Say Jhah. He never did nothing to no one!

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

Nobody poked any one!

Tell that to this guy.

But You and that na maloom guy has a habit of poking things every now and then

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Tell that to this guy.

You know he did not mean it the way you responded..

 

[pillowprocter]

He never did nothing to no one!

He didn't let you borrow his weather machine

 

[wasteyouryouth]

He didn't let you borrow his weather machine

Good point. fearsome tweak him.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Good job Kohli isn't playing. There's no way he could resist getting out to the noob bowler too.

He's looked excellent, hasn't he? Maybe you could call him "Slayer of Mumbai Indians"

I have zero idea how he meant it. And there was nothing wrong with my response.

Sarcasm, mate!

Honestly, don't care much about how they fare...

I am happy to have us in this scenario. Opener and number 3 failed and now comes the build up and rescue.
