Women's Asia Cup

[ZexyZahid]

Oh and there would've been white people who objected to the black slaves so don't generalise.

The fact is that Asia couldn't give a toss about Human rights and never will.

Most of them didn't. But off course there were brave enough people to put a hold to this.

And isn't a problem of Asia. Eastern Europe, Africa, South America, Middle America have these kind of problems too.

Just try and get it into your head that to restrict people from watching a quality game of cricket simply due to the fact that they have a penis between their legs is a 19th Century atitude to have. This is the 21st century we're living in, and you are happy with a ruling that puts Pakistan in the dark ages.

In closing I would like to point out that Planet Cricket has a zero tolerance policy on discrimination of all kinds, including sex discrimination.

Actually I am saying to stop this discussion and told to talk about the cricket for a couple of times now. But you just wanted to pursue this. I don't care what people think, but keep that then for yourselves. But making a fool of some country, especially since this is my country, off course I will respond. And 60 or 100 years ago ?sn't that long ago in the eyes of mankind, which has been living on earth for centuries.

Just like I said keep the focus now on cricket.

 

[Adarsh]

Can help but get into this, slightly offtopic, debate.

I can reverse this question too: not long time ago coloured people used to be slaves for the white people. By that time white people didn't see anything wrong with that too.

Well, now the whole world acknowledges the fact that it was wrong. You seem to be of the view that what is going on in Pakistan is not wrong. Would you mind justifying that, Please? Give your honest opinion on that.

Would you have a problem if a country said that they did not want white people watching their games, for reasons of culture?

I am sure Andrew would like you to answer the question.

India is going to win for sure! :happy

denying people the oppurtunity to see some top class cricket simply because of their gender is just crazy

A perfect example of Sexism I believe "All men are equal"

I appologize, but I do believe that the issue is related to cricket. To me, the beauty of cricket is that in its true sense it is not only colour blind, but blind to gender. I can not say what is right or wrong, but I can only use a relational comparison; thus, with this lens, we can clearly see that laws that deny a group privileges and rights which others enjoy are, in the least, restrictive.

I wouldn't generalise all of Asia with that brush. A few Asian countries have respect for human rights, especially Japan.

And I would like Zahid to answer this:

Would you have a problem if a country said that they did not want white people watching their games, for reasons of culture?

I see you typed another lines here, when I was replying.

About Japan: asks China how they feel about this.

About the last question: from my current position, I would say no. There is difference between race and gender. But if you somewhere encounter a follower of Mugabe, you can expect what kind of response you will get.

And that's the last thing I want to say about it. I don't want to spend any time with all the bullsh*tting around here.

 

[andrew_nixon]

About the last question: from my current position, I would say no. There is difference between race and gender.

No? But your current position is that you would say yes. You are accepting a ruling that prevents men from seeing games for reasons of culture.

Now, please, justify the ruling the PCB have made in this case.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Just a thought I had....... the head of the ICC and the head of the ACC are unable to watch this tournament. Doesn't that sound stupid to you?

 

[Sureshot]

ZZ, would you not have a problem then if the ECB ban women pakistani cricket fans from the series this summer?

And isn't a problem of Asia.

So Asia doesn't have a problem with Human Rights? Do i laugh or cry?

China, violates alot of human rights, but no ones does anything because of the ammount of people in the country, i mean come on, in parts of China, women who already have a child and then get pregnant get killed!

A great result for India's women against Sri Lanka.

http://www.baseballonvalium.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=823Sri Lanka innings: 124 all out
India innings: 125/0 (Sumra 63 not out, Jain 54 not out)

India win by 10 wickets

So many people being denyed the chance to watch a storming win for the Indian team. It really is sad.

I'm sure you're talking about the Rape of Nanking; many Japanese are very penitent about that part of their history. They really have tried to make up for their past mistakes, yet playing the 'you did it too' card never excuses the disparaging of basic privileges and rights.

India wins by 10 wickets again! Great job!

 

[Big_Boss]

I can't believe, India is this good and they still didn't won the world cup. Is their team/player ratings for woman's cricket?

No official ones, although my website has team rankings, of course.

 

[sohum]

Well, the Asia cup is being played with teams that have not had much exposure to international cricket. So I'm sure teams like England and Australia can more than compete with India, when it comes to World Cups and such.

'denied' even

Why is it that on your rankings India is among the higher ranked numbers? I have no problem with this, but I don't understand your ranking system.
