“India ko sabaq sikhana chahiye (Pakistan should teach India a lesson)”: Saqlain Mushtaq

[FearlessRoar]

Saqlain Mushtaq, speaking ahead of the India-Pakistan match in the Champions Trophy on a local media outlet:

“Their tantrums just don’t end. We are singing their praises. Children here want to see Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah. Every child here wants to see them in action, but their tantrums just don’t end."

“I don’t know in which world they are living in and what they want to achieve. When are they going to be intelligent and wise? When will they open their hearts? By wearing a tie and speaking in English, you think you have become civilised? Pakistan should take a stand and teach them a lesson."

“I booked online (visa appointment) from Leicester where I live and got an appointment two weeks later. They made me sit in a queue for four hours. I felt a bit embarrassed and I was disappointed as well by the treatment being meted out to me."

“You won’t believe how many people I approached (to get my visa processed). They kept telling me it’s in the queue to get processed. The status remained the same for three months. In the meantime, I got this offer from PCB, so I refused the visa. They (Indian authorities) took the fee as well and did not even acknowledge.”

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan is not gonna teach anything with such a squad... Actually they should learn from other teams

 

[Rana]

He hates India now and doesn’t want to be Dosti Dosti with them anymore because the Indian embassy in UK made him wait for his visa?

 

[Mesozoic]

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Take interest in science, innovation, & create a just society & the entire world will take you seriously.

Be a clown, invent entire new ideologies to keep your stupid beliefs profitable, have the worst among you as your leaders, & live with a totally fabricated world view & no one will respect you.

It's not that hard saqi bhai.

 

[shah9425]

Looks like it will be vice versa instead

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I know overseas Pakistanis who would be happy with waiting only 4 hours in Pak embassies abroad. Saqi Bhai should thank the Indians for their efficiency.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Dear Saqi bhai,
This language doesn’t suit your personality bro.

You were a great young spinner of the 1990s, a pioneer and a a revolutionary. Your decline was sad but we remember you as a legend and the greatest ever ODI spinner arguably along with Shane bhai.

But we don’t remember you for hostility. It doesn’t suit you. Shabby and Lala bhai can do it, it suits their aggressive macho man personality. Not you. Why so angry brother? It’s just a game.

If we beat India, will it speed up the visa process for Pakistanis in Indian embassies? Kya woh sabaq seekh jayen ghe?

@cricketjoshila @Bhaijaan @Devadwal @Rajdeep

Visa process has nothing to do with cricket. Its pakistan passport Which matter the Most .

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Saqi Bhai wanted to go Lakshawdeep and was mad his visa took too long.

Maldives won't placate him.

@cricketjoshila @Bhaijaan @Devadwal @Rajdeep

Nahi. Hum aur delay karenge.

Saqi bhai is a good man. Sad that he had a frustrating experience at the Indian HC.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

But first you need a team of that stature...

 

[zahid01]

What a statement from saqi bhai has he been watching the games against kiwis is this team capable of teaching someone a lesson.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

But first you need a team of that stature...

bhai right now our whole team is lying on the stretcher lol

 

[dravidthewall]

Hoping for qudrat ka nizaam on Sunday

 

[Local.Dada]

This is going to sound very harsh but it’s a fact and I don’t have any hand in this decision so go easy on me but Saqlain Mushtaq is affiliated with Tableegh in Pakistan. This organization and a few affiliated organizations are either under monitoring or banned by Indian authorities. Saqlain was not coming for any full time cricket commitments. He is a dual citizen even though he might be British national too.

Why does he except special treatment? If he had to wait he had to wait. It’s not like he must have gotten Uk citizenship in 2 hours when he applied.

 

[Kianig89]

May be saqi had too much of a Lassi Glass ,

 

[ChennaiFan]

It is sad to know Saqlain had a bad experience at an Indian embassy in UK. I know the visa process is difficult for people of Pakistani origin. There are too many complaints from cricketers in the recent times. Perhaps, it is time the Indian authorities fixed their process right. Saqlain is a legend and a beloved cricketer across the world. Hope he gets another chance to visit India, probably for the T20 WC.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Initially, I ignored this thread after reading the title, as I thought he was unhappy with India for not traveling to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy.

It's funny that he is actually moaning about the Indian visa process and asking the Pakistani cricket team to take a revenge and teach a lesson

 

[MP2011]

Saqlain has got senile.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Hoping for qudrat ka nizaam on Sunday

and it will turn out to be a "Qudrat ka anjaam"

Nevermind Saqi bhai, we only learn lessons in ICC Knockouts, especially the Finals.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Nevermind Saqi bhai, we only learn lessons in ICC Knockouts, especially the Finals.

Don't worry no Aussies available this time

 

[Major]

What visa is he talking about? UAE or India?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pakistan will be a close game I feel if India fields the same team that played today.

To teach India a lesson, Pak needs to defeat them with over 100 runs or 5 wickets. Not happening for Saqi.

 

[LordJames]

Saqlain Mushtaq, speaking ahead of the India-Pakistan match in the Champions Trophy on a local media outlet:

“Their tantrums just don’t end. We are singing their praises. Children here want to see Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah. Every child here wants to see them in action, but their tantrums just don’t end."

In the meantime, I got this offer from PCB, so I refused the visa. They (Indian authorities) took the fee as well and did not even acknowledge.”

I know plenty of "Pakistani origin" citizens of UK & US who have endured horrendous treatment at the hands of Indian consulates and denied VISA.

I know a couple who wife was admitted but husband deported from Delhi (both had valid VISAS). I know British citizens who have been chased and followed by Indian Intelligence while in India. I know US citizen stopped and treated rudely at Delhi with his family during visit.

All of the above is true. Its India and they have a right to issue/deny VISA as they see fit.

But I can't see this Pakistani squad teaching anyone a lesson! The arrogance of Indians is a reality but channel that anger to get better instead of ranting on the Media and IF Saqlain said these things I am surprised as I expect him as a coach to use these sort of things as motivation instead of ranting on Media.

People of Pakistan should put their head down and wort to get better at everything instead of moaning about things.

At best Pakistan can beat India and it will be a monumental achievement, in terms of spanking or teaching a lesson with this squad...please spare me

 

[pakistani pride]

Just zip it Saqi.
Already enough embarrassment going on.

 

[shaz619]

I don’t want to say a bad word about Saqi who didn’t just invent the Doosra but also BallSaq which is basically Pakistani BazzBall, he was also part of Pakistan’s GOAT ODI team and arguably was a great of the game.

But the man is still high of Rizwan’s suspected piety.

 

[MenInG]

Thread is NOT about Tableeghi Jamat

 

[BouncerGuy]

Try not to bring religions here. Keep the chat relevant to cricket only

 

[Master Blaster]

Those 4 hours in que for Saqi might prove to be too costly for the Indian cricket team.
Pak should pre order the cake for sunday night.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

End up the other way , pak was beaten by india by 6 wickets in hand and 8 overs to spare

Sikha diya sabak India ko kal Rizwan ne. Played the innings of his life at an SR of 59.

This is what I don't get.

Us pakistanis bring religion to every nook and corner of our lives. And other people businesses. When it suits us.

But when it works against us, we put it out to pasture. saqlain deserves religious damnation. 10 fold.

THIS IS A CRICKET TRHEAD. YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THE TOPIC AND THEN MAKE COMMENTS

 

[Bhaijaan]

To be honest, Saqi bhai won despite Pakistan team and we the supporters of the Bharatiya team lost despite winning because for the first time in my life i don’t feel the same jubilation in winning because deep down i know that this win has a huge asterisk on it as Pakistan team was supposed to play this match in Lahore where they would have been a lot harder to defeat in front of their home fans. By showing our pettiness to come to Pakistan and playing in full and boring Dubai we have killed all the joy of this win and i feel somewhat guilty rather than ecstatic on this win.

 

[Farhan The Man]

Chickens coming home to roost.

pakistan cricket and religion are not separate.

 

[MP2011]

Lol. Saqlain couldn't get what he wished for.

That's why its a good policy to not run your mouth at least in public.

 

[uppercut]

Next he will be begging the Aussies or the SA team to teach the evil Indians a lesson in the Semi .... and all this because this joker was denied visa by the Indian embassy

Sarcasm or not, Allah ka shukr hai this match was not played in Lahore. Rizwan would have thought 295 was a good score and India'd chased it down with 10-13 overs left.

People of Lahore deserve to see competitive cricket brother. Not whatever Babar and Rizwan think they’re doing with this team. I feel the pain as a cricket fan.

Well nothing changes then if this is true. Man!! Rizwan has something up his sleeve against these coaches and chairmen. He play two absolutely god awful innings, that too against India and lost the match. Even Wasim/Waqar/Inzi/Sachin/Ganguly/Virat etc would be crucified for this and atleast captaincy would have been taken away. What does this guy know ?

I saw this at the time when Rizwan was being made out to be a GOAT by Misbah/Waqar+ Wasim Khan even though his flaws where clear as daylight

One of the biggest con acts in the history of the game.

The way I see it,,

Had Pakistan lost the semis or final…Aqib may have stayed or The PCB would have employed Misbah as head coach with Rizwan

They are genuinely itching for this. The formation of the Champion’s cup teams, captains and head coaches is indicative of this.

Markhors team was designed to make Rizwan look like Ponting and Misbah as Buchanan

Looks like it’s a lifeline for the two love birds, they will keep them in the fold. 10 steps backwards and then another 10 steps back is a trend for this regime. They will do a circle jerk until the next humiliating exit in an ICC event.

 

[shaz619]

Sort your act out, get rid of the vermin and let a bunch of new guys work with Kirsten, pay him double, beg him to comeback. What’s the point of bringing in another numpty who’s going to play it safe and lack vision. We’ve already seen BallSaq for sometime.

[Rana]

“Only a local coach can improve the Pakistan team. Shadab Khan is the best all-rounder and he has already been performing for the team. Saqlain Mushtaq did not accept the offer before the Champions Trophy so that if Shadab joins, people do not give him the wrong impression. People are not happy under any circumstances. Hopefully, Saqlain Mushtaq's arrival will improve things.”

Humpty (Babar) Dumpty (Rizwan) had a great fall

All the king's (Kirsten) horses (PCB support) and all the king's men (Gillespie and support staff)

Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again (zero performance)



Tri series and CT disaster:


Humpty Dumpty sat on the ground

Humpty Dumpty looked all around

Gone were the chimneys, gone were the roofs

All they (Fans) could see were ankles and hooves



Saqi bhai’s reign again:


Humpty Dumpty counted to ten

Humpty Dumpty built up again

All the king's horses and all the king's men

Are happy that Humpty Dumpty are together again


This is the real definition of Qudrat ka nizam!!

Why is he saying these things instead of suggestions to make Pakistan better?

Goes from hysterical call for retribution after visa denial to "can we please play 30 more bilateral games".

So that "everything becomes clear". What exactly, for whom, why?!?!?
